Sunday Jul 17, 2022

TRSI 322 - The void does more than look back
Sunday Jun 26, 2022
Sunday Jun 26, 2022
Darragh O'Brien is right that there is a risk to social cohesion, but doesn't seem to realise the risk comes from his own Government's actions; clothing yourself in the dead to own the TERFs; Roe v Wade falls; and FF and FG combined still trail behind SF.

Sunday May 15, 2022
Sunday May 15, 2022
