I have opened an online Book of Condolences for the people of Dublin to express their sympathies to the family of Sinéad O'Connor following her untimely death yesterday. You can sign here: consultation.dublincity.ie/lord-mayor/boo…

Gather Sunday 1pm City Hall, Dame St, Dublin to remember artist & activist #SineadOConnor org’d by ROSA - Socialist Feminist Movement. Sinead stood V institutional abuse, racism, misogyny, homophobia & all oppression. Remember her — finishing with cathartic communal singing of #NothingCompares2U

Have a listen to this if you can. At last this part of Tudor history is being explored in the British mainstream. I mean, if I have to watch/listen to another soft soap fan piece on Liz I and her thugs I think I’ll scream…. This provides a bit of balance
