Iran's Ceasefire conditions include all the things you might expect, but they also include the demand for the US to remove all its military bases from the Middle East.

Which would be great for everybody.

Tommy Robinson is writing for Jerusalem Post, and that makes some people uncomfortable - opinion
When journalism abandons the debate over ideas and focuses instead on policing who is permitted to speak, the search for truth quietly gives way to the enforcement of acceptable opinion.

Tommy Robinson wears a UTK logo ("Unite The Kingdom") on his clothes as he is seen at a rally in solidarity with protesters in Iran on January 11, 2026 in London, England.

Robinson had previously tried to address โ€œthe Jewish Questionโ€ in a 2022 article which he deleted shortly afterwards. He divided the Jews into two types โ€“ acceptable ones and disreputable ones. He particularly had it in for the Anti-Defamation League โ€“ in his eyes a cesspit of Jewish liberalism and subversion internationally.

Labour MP's are apparently considering defecting to the Green Party.

Is that a good thing?

And who would the Green Party want?

25+ years derelict. In Dublin City Council ownership since 2019. No funding from the Department of Housing to rebuild.

The two derelict houses on 19 & 21 Connaught Street have been abandoned by the state. They're now structurally compromised and a risk to the neighbouring houses on the terrace.

Dear President O'Connor and Members of the Board,
I write to you formally in relation to Dublin Zoo's recent Mother's Day promotion and the decision to present a drag performance character as the public face of mother's.
Dublin Zoo is operated by the Zoological Society of Ireland, a registered charity and company limited by guarantee.
The Society koMs a position of national cultural trost as the operator of one of Ireland's most vlatied family institutions. Coverance responsibitility for that institution ultihstify rests EDirectors of Ireland under your chetrchthsit, it ango chairmanship.
Since this matter became public, my office has received a significant number of communications from members of the public expressing anger, disupponitment and genuine offence at the Board.
1. What decision-making process within Dublin Zoo or the Zoological Society of Ireland led to the selection of this performer as the public face of a Mother's Day promotion.
2. Whether the Board itself approved or was consulted regarding the promotion.
3. On what basis Dublin Zoo concluded that a drag performance portraying a satirical "mammy" character represents Irish culture in a manner suitable for a national family institution.
4. Whether the Board considered the likelihood that presenting a theatrical parody of motherhood on Mother's Day would cause offence to many mothers and families.
5. Whether the Zoological Society of Ireland accepts that the promotion has caused genuine offence to members of the public.
For that reason, I believe the Board should now address the matter directly and consider whether an apology to those who felt offended by this promotion is warranted.
I therefore request a detailed response from the Board 
addressing the matters raised above
.
Yours sincercly,

Ken Oโ€™Flynn TD decided to write to Dublin Zoo to complain about his imagined yank culture war.

Oh boy, I hope for his sake this was AI generated.

The zoo is in trouble for using a fella in drag in a promotion for their Mother's Day offer.

One of the comments: "if it was a promotion for elephants, would you use an elephant or another animal dressed as an elephant?"

Imagine thinking that thought & typing it out like you're the normal one

Anatomy of a X/Twitter social media frenzy. One infulencer posted incessantly about the "Dublin Zoo Scandal" on Friday, it was picked up by other bad faith actors who ran with it.

This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots.
