Media outlets quietly delete report about a brutal assault on Dame St.
GCN broke the story yesterday that on June 2nd, a 'non-binary queer person' was the victim of a 'brutal homophobic and transphobic attack' while out with friends in the Dame Street area of Dublin.
The survivor of the assault is in their 20’s and was currently in hospital as a result of the injuries they sustained, it was reported.
>One of the survivor’s friends wrapped a Pride flag around them, which prompted their assailants to attack. The person was beaten unconscious with a bat and stabbed multiple times. After that, the men and woman who carried out the attack ran away on foot, though some witnesses saw them escape.
Odd that such a vicious assault had gone unreported for almost a week before being picked up by a a small LGBT focused media outlet. The report included a lot of details and quotes from the victim and their 'chosen family,' allegedly posted to social media which I can't find.
JOE, The Examiner and Hot Press all repeated the story and the usual crowd piled on demanding hate crime legislation with Hazel Chu blaming those "pushing a homophobic agenda." This was probably the biggest twitter thread.
In JOE's report on the incident they wrote "In a statement to JOE, An Garda Síochána said they had no record of the incident on file," but they still went ahead and reported the story as fact.
Today all the reports have been quietly deleted, no corrections issued. 🤔

Keir Starmer given the full Head Of State treatment in Dublin today. They wish he was Prime Minister.
He finds our rich history inspiring.
Isn't that nice.

A lot of fuming on twitter over a segment on Liveline today.
The State-funded National Women's Council of Ireland had held their AGM which some members of 'The Countess' group showed up to protest over the issue of transgenderism.
They held placards reading 'You do not speak for us' and wanted to know if the NWCI supported the erasure of the word 'women' from State literature.
Joe Duffy's crime: He facilitated a discussion about their issues.
Usually you can rely on Duffy to deride anything heretical to globohomo dogma, but this wasn't the case here. He came off quite sympathetic. You can listen back to it here. It's an hour long.
Duffy's manner suggests he is surrounded with RTÉ staff who are also sympathetic to The Countess group's concerns as this wouldn't have aired otherwise. RTÉ would just ignore the protest.
It looks more and more like the transgender stuff is Globohomo's Achilles' heel and political parties and are going to have a rough time juggling this difficult ball.

Also case in point:
Sinn Féin's Lynn Boylan deactivated her twitter account after this tweet blew up. She turned it back on for bit but kept it in protected mode. She has since deactivated it again though.

>A couple who made a vulnerable Nigerian woman 'perform forced labour' in their east Belfast home will be sentenced for the slavery offence later this month, a court has heard.
Where are all academics and historians condemning the conflation of slavery with indentured servitude now?
