Disgusting post from restauranteur Michael Deane. Punching down on migrant workers & repeating racist lies in the context of far-right vigilantes assaulting delivery workers. Scapegoating migrant workers won't fill your tables.

Our drug laws aren't fit for purpose & lack of courage from politicians is costing lives. We need an overdose prevention centre & drug testing facilities at events. NI has a serious drug crisis & for politicians to ignore this is cowardice. We are done with thoughts & prayers.


This….

Westminster drug policy and Stormont silence caused this. Teenagers are dying because our politicians are doing fuck all!!! I am so angry. Your tweets of sympathy and condemnation mean nothing when you are holding up the system letting this happen.

The Oasis gigs are phenomenal. This is the joyous roar of a forgotten people. It’s working-class men and women reclaiming their rightful place in Britain’s culture. Oasismania is the revenge of normalcy in an era of woke lunacy, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/Upl2ar4

This is what @FreeTheNightNI have coined as “creative drain”. It impacts way more of our creative community than brain drain does with graduates. We must allocate more money to arts in NI and fast.
