My new publication was released on Monday. Thanks to Palgrave Macmillan, who were a pleasure to work alongside, and all others who assisted in making this possible...

Given today's Royal Ascot racing results, elitism continues to dominate the industry while steamrollling everyone else…

Objectively deranged tweet; inferring children today would prefer to live in the 1950s, if given a choice.
1950s had endemic poverty, systemic physical & sexual abuse of children, high infant mortality rates, TB and Polio still threats, limited access to education.
Gobshite.

Rise of the far-right influencers earning six-figure sums by promoting hate online.

From college dropouts to self-professed loners, several online agitators have successfully tapped into a world where racist and misogynistic content can be a lucrative business.

Solidarity with Eileen. It just shows you the hate, racism & misogyny that runs riot here & sometimes spills over to society in general. Imagine if those haters ever got a chance at power. Ken O'Flynn TD for example is an absolute disgrace.

Meritocracy has, at least, ensured that this loser Lenihan remains an unemployable dirtbag and a moany-faced, bitter git, jealous of women and high achievers. Solidarity with Senator Flynn. 💪💪
Toibin is trying to stir anti-immigrant sentiment in this post. Shocking behaviour by a member of the Dáil.
The Murrays’ home might have been saved if it was an IPAS centre.

This is stark evidence of how normalised far-right rhetoric has become in our mainstream media.
A @Independent_ie columnist calling the rainbow and trans pride flag “paedophile flag[s]”, and framing LGBT people as legitimate targets for “local paedophile hunters”.
Repulsive.

Graham Linehan is nothing but a nasty online troll who has driven the most important people in his life away with his unhealthy obsession with abusing trans people.
He is not a martyr, his is not a hero, he is the victim of his own decisions and behaviours.
🚨🚨🚨British police arrested a non-UK citizen arriving from the United States for his online speech
Graham Linehan is an Irish comedy writer who tweeted jokes critical of transgender ideology while in the United States.
When he flew to London, Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport by 5 armed officers.
WATCH Linehan's testimony ⬇️
No chance of #ChristianRonaldo going on strike in protest against the deplorable human rights records of the nation where he earns obscene amounts of money.
Elite owners/breeders are winning the vast amount of race prize money as outlined in my recent publication: The Irish National Stud, 1900-2025: Horses, Politics and Elitism, yet silence from the racing commentators!
💰 @HRIRacing has announced a prize-money boost of €4.2m to €74.7m, part of the 2026 budget.
Details of the prize money strategy will be announced early in the New Year, together with 2026 revised race values which will commence from March 1.
