Cavan District Court Judge this morning threw out 20 cases against people who had 'failed to pay their TV Licenses'.
He said that in light of recent 'shenangians' he could not in good conscience impose a fine on 20 individuals!
👏👏👏⚖️⚖️⚖️

I’m confused. As a gay man, a response of “I don’t care” is the best response one can get. After years of LGBT activism myself, “I don’t care” means …job done! 👍. Live and let live, and I don’t care about others peoples sexuality…that’s the AIM OF LGBT ACTIVISM

Ok fair enough, thanks. I hope it is ok to ask questions about things like this, without, like some other people, getting a ‘pile on’ because I have the audacity to question something
@ShaneDanByrne
Your use of the term ‘TERF’ is aggressively be, derogatory and counter productive to the support you seek from the ‘wider community’. Your misogyny shines through. You are a misogynist.
@OwenJones84
You don’t know ‘my views’ because we have never had a discussion together Owen.
There is no such thing as an ‘LGBT person’ there are lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people.
And my community, has nothing to do with my sexuality, or anyone else’s.
@P_Kallioniemi
Thank you for this thread! It’s surprisingly easy to forget a lot of things she has done in the past…and I’m from Ireland! Daly and Wallace are a national disgrace. 😡
@DCHomos
Ok but PRIDE is not about violence, aggression or hatred. PRIDE is PROTEST, not violence. PRIDE is a STATEMENT, not an argument. PRIDE is LOVE, not anger.
@BBCNewsNI
So
@belfastpride
want to risk women’s safety in sports by supporting the idea of men participating in Women’s Rugby? Pathetic. Stupid. Ill Informed.
@bearaboi
Except life changing irreversible medical intervention was not required? Oh and even for sexuality, we have the legal age of consent. For trans ideology they argue children can consent to irreversible medical intervention. No.
@kerryman_ie
I’ve no time for these protesters. your headline is ridiculous.They are not ‘anti-LGB. they are against specific things related to LGBT. Better journalism please. Today, they are Protesting DRAG STORY TIME FOR KIDS, which by the way, many in the LGB community agree with

I’ve feel much more bullied, harassed and judged by people (once friends) who call them LGBT in recent years. Apparently these days, I must believe certain things or I’m a bigot. The world gone mad. And gay men can’t see the damage being done to the next generation of youth

@ShaneDanByrne
He is a misogynist. Ireland has changed, and if anything I would argue Irish women are both powerful and the strength behind the Irish community. Don’t let this misogynist colour your view. 👍
@BBCNewsNI
It’s so surprising to see some in Northern Ireland happily agree and support the denial of fundamental human rights. Northern Ireland’s ‘special powers act’ was a true reflection of ‘some’ Northern Irish people.
@OwenJones84
Men are not women. They can be trans-women, that’s cool, but they are not women. They are not ‘entitled’ to enter protected women’s spaces and they are not ‘entitled’ to participate in women’s sports. Agreed?
@OliDugmore
🚨 I’m sorry to be critical, but are we sure. That’s not an allotment. That soils has not been used for growing anything recently. And fundraising near 10k for an allotment to grow from seed. If this is true is disgusting and horrible, but…that’s not an allotment

If the reports are true, it doesn’t matter whether he knew or not. If this is (was) actual government policy, he, and others, are Accountable.
@irishexaminer
Sorry what? I’ve actually read the article, and my head hurts. And just sayin, I’m pretty up to date on these ‘issues’…but what? Misogyny? Why was he fired? What????
@SamRamani2
That’s nice. I do hope someday my life is massively impacted by the politics and economics of China, Russia, Brazil and South Africa. Can’t wait! 🙈

@jonstewart
Wallace and Daly definitely do not speak for me and do not understand ‘what the Irish think’. They are both a disgrace and embarrassment to the majority of Irish people
@Luighseach
5 people, who were arrested for an aggressive abusive hateful spiteful physically violent attack on another person…make u an excuse. There, I fixed it for you.
@audraf637
Sexual orientation and ‘gender identity’ are entirely different things. PLEASE do not equate in any way sexual orientation with identity. I’m gay. I don’t ‘identify’ as gay. I’m gay. Please don’t do this.
@wallacemick
Mick forgets to mention the importance of American and European nations support for the Irish throughout our history, from our rebellions, to war of independence and in achieving peace through The Good Friday Agreement 25 years ago.
@Haggis_UK
Boris Johnson argues that staff leaving parties were’absolutely necessary events’during lockdown, unlike Weddings, Funerals, Births & Birthdays. And
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
agrees. Boris is more important than plebs dying alone without their loved ones.

@OwenJones84
But surely you agree the whole 'Corporate Pride' thing has become OTT. Even the fact thats its 'Pride Month'. I used to love Pride. It happened on a Saturday. It was so much fun.
@dlLambo
So you didn’t see what Smithfield looked like before then? Like 20 years ago? I prefer new development, regeneration and homes for people to live in, than squalor, dereliction and despair in the name of ‘traditionalism’ “knock it down and build something better!
@OwenJones84
Oh well then that must be my whole personality then. Owen, I live in my community… 😂. It’s an actual community. (I guess 20 years of being a human rights activist including lobbying for ‘actual’ transgender rights 15 years ago…too long ago then 😂
@visegrad24
Growing up in Ireland 🇮🇪 our taught history is SO Western Europe centric. Friends from Poland 🇵🇱 Lithuania 🇱🇹 and Romania 🇷🇴 have often had to teach me actual European history. Still learning 👍

@PinkNews
Except they are not. Their risk level is different to LGB. Because sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender identity. To conflate the two, harms both cohorts.

Gareth Fitzgerald? John Briton? Albert Reynolds? Mary Robsinson? Mary McAleese? Bertie Ahern was proceeded by many Irish politicians who helped pave the way towards the GFA

Of course we would/should/do. But we cannot ignore children being used as an experiment in relation to medication and physical life changing surgery. And it is experimental, by definition, because there is insufficient research and data collation over the long term.
