Happy #InternationalRomaDay . Today is honouring /celebrating #Roma history. It has nothing to do with #IrishTraveller history. Policy makers may decide to tag us together but that doesn't mean as communities we have too. Each history and community deserve their own recognition.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Margaret Thatchers death here is a very incomplete list of just some of the awful things she did and said as prime minister of the UK between 1979-1990.

Went en famille to community scratch games for a quick bop and turns out my Small Child is a big fan of BABY•NITS•PRINCESS_4_GAZA 🍉☘️🌰

1) Some facts about the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity (OLC), co-founders of Ruhama. In 1993, 155 women were exhumed from High Park Magdalene Laundry to make way for a property development. 🚨154 women were cremated, in many cases 2 to a coffin, all in aid of cutting costs.

Someone stole my kids balance bike from inside Tesco knocknacarra. I’m a single parent on a really low income. I understand if it was someone desperate but have a feeling it was teens messing. The kicker is I was going to donate/give it away soon

Stolen in knocknacarra from Tesco this afternoon. Small reward offered, along with a clean conscience. No judgement at all. Please retweet in the slim chance it turns up

Designed some commemorative stamps for the coronation

Today I was arrested at the #Coronation on suspicion of carrying eggs. I was identified by facial recognition cameras, and snatched from the protest in handcuffs so tight they cut my skin. For the second time I was dragged through a crowd of monarchists baying for my blood....1

Residents near the hotel in Clare, who are apparently scared vulnerable and unsafe because of the presence of asylum seekers living there, did they feel as vulnerable when people were staying in the hotel when it was running? I presume they weren’t consulted for each hotel guest
