The usual suspects (extreme activist NGOs) here retweeted that shyte - the National 'Women's' Council of Ireland being the headliner clown act.

I can help you out here. I suggest setting up a website expressing vaguely critical opinions on the Labour Party, mass immigration, Varadkar, etc. Or state that you disagree with changing children's gender. Or change your name by deed poll to Salman Charlie Hebdo Rushdie. You'd probably end up on their list.

Is anyone familiar with the Wings Over Scotland blog? He was previously an SNP supporter but fell out with their leadership massively in recent years, owing to their (in his view) failure to take mounting a campaign for a new referendum seriously, along with the SNP's obsession with trans rights.

I attach a recent blogpost from Wings Over Scotland:

Wings is a from a nationalist Scots perspective.

And as if White Nationalism exists in Ireland ffs. Pure yank shìte. We have our own Nationalism. And it isn't the lovie dovie Nationalism that those on the left seem to think it is. They'd know that if they put down Das Kapital and read a few Irish history books.

Das Kapital has nothing got to do with any ‘luvvy duvvy stuff’ but is a critique of capitalism and the brutality associated with it in Marx’s time. Marx hoped to see a violent worldwide revolution by the worker class against the boss and landowning class. We cannot say if he would have approved or disapproved of our modern world of iPhones, trans rights and rainbow flags.

We do know that he opposed mass inmigration as he correctly saw that replacing native workers with cheap foreign labour benefits only the boss class and capitalists.

Marx had nothing got to do with what we call these days SJWism and likely would be appalled by much of what claims to represent the modern left.

Most of the 1916 revolutionaries were leftists - Connolly and Constance Markevicz certainly were.

Even those who were more nationalist than socialist in orientation were influenced by people like Marx and the Chartists in the UK.

Where you are correct is that Irish nationalism is not historically associated with the far right blood and soil tendency. If anything it was a revolt against the landlord class and capitalism and colonialism.

No offense to your personally, but I find the default association with Marxism and the modern SJW tendency tiresome and wrongheaded. I've read Das Kapital and frankly I found much of it turgid and heavy going, but you won't find much in it.

Of course, Marx, like most people was a creature of his time. Since that time, most if not all of the Communist revolutions inspired by Marx ended in failure. We have seen the world population and the average well-being of the citizen dramatically increase.

That said, his ultimate idea, which was to increase the share of the pie of wealth allocated to workers and reduce the share of the pie allocated to globalist capitalism, is in my view more relevant than ever.

In Marx's time, there were child labour employing factories in the UK - well, they still exist today, except not in the western world so much. And the modern day SJW's buy new electrical cars on cheap finance, while taking another line of coke and congratulating themselves on being so socially aware and environmentally "right-on". Funny old world!

While, as I said, I find his prose turgid, Marx wasn't entirely wrong. And while I've said before we can't say what Marx would have thought of our modern world, I'm going to slightly contradict myself at this point. I'd like to think Comrade Karl, if he were alive today, would still be throwing stones at the capitalists - most particularly when they come as wolves in sheeps' clothing, as has been happening in recent decades.

Looks like GPAHE might be hearing from Iona's lawyers

Ha! I am no supporter of Iona, but I hope they do take action, if only to highlight this nonsense.

The report even acknowledges the far right isn't growing in support in Ireland but that it COULD. Why not then focus on the growing threat of the far left in the likes of People Before Profit etc? We are a capitalist country, not China, so should be looking to quench the far left as much as the far right.

LGB Alliance a right-wing hate group?

I'm only familiar with the basics of them e.g. wikipeda info, LGB Alliance - Wikipedia, but unless the have other beliefs or act differently in reality, I dont see this.

"The LGB Alliance is a British advocacy group founded in 2019 in opposition to the policies of LGBT rights charity Stonewall on transgender issues.[1] Its founders were Bev Jackson, Kate Harris, Allison Bailey, Malcolm Clark and Ann Sinnott. It opposes gender-identity education in schools,[2] medical transition for children reporting gender dysphoria,[3] and gender recognition reform.[4]

The LGB Alliance describes its objective as "asserting the right of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted", and states that such a right is threatened by "attempts to introduce confusion between biological sex and the notion of gender".[1] The group has been described by the Labour Campaign for Trans Rights as transphobic, in a statement signed by a number of Labour MPs including current Deputy Leader Angela Rayner, and by SNP MP John Nicolson,[5][6][7] and by articles in two scholarly journals as "trans-exclusionary".[8][9] Hope not Hate and the Trades Union Congress have described the group as anti-trans.[10][11] It has also been described by Labour MPs and several LGBT organisations and activists as a hate group."

Something certainly should be done.
