#OTD โ In the old Celtic calendar, today is Sheelahโs Day.
In the old Celtic calendar, today is Sheelahโs Day. In ancient Ireland, it was an annual festival to honour the fertility Goddess known as Sheela-na-gig. Naked Sheela-na-gig figures appeared in Irish churches constructed before the 16th century, but most were defaced or destroyed during the prudish Victorian age.
According to some sources, the origins of โdrowning the shamrockโ have also been traced to this date. In the eighteenth century, William Hone reported on the celebrations surrounding Sheelah, who has been variously identified as the wife, mother, or other relative of St Patrick โ noting that, the people of the day โare not so anxious to determine who โSheelahโ was, as they are earnest in her celebration. All agree that her immortal memory is to be maintained by potations of whiskey.โ At the end of the day, the faithful would then take their shamrocks and drop them into their respective glasses before downing the contents.

These retards, who want you jailed for noises that come from your face-hole, deserve NOTHING but contempt.

It's been pointed out to me a few times where RTร now edit existing reports with a tiny 'updated' flag but completely change the content, like in this case where they removed all evidence it was they who promoted today's NGO protest in the first place.
If you look at my previous post, and click the link to RTร, you will see my earlier screengrabs no longer reflect what you now see on the webpage.
Worth pointing out because we heard a RollingNews editor tell Newstalk last week that national media outlets are deliberately ignoring protests against asylum seekers being dumped in communities around the country in the hope they "go away."
Newstalk's Barry Whyte reported the NGOs got around 100 people out to their protest today which is about the same number of locals who protested against an old Tayto factory being converted into a plantation centre in Coolock yesterday. RTร didn't cover that protest but they advertised the NGO one today.
This is what manufacturing consent looks like.

Turns out the "new Irish" in Wexford have a preference for English place names and we need to submit to their tastes according to Fianna Fรกil councillor Barbara Anne Murphy.
Reminds me of the last planters.

Politicians and their representatives should be viewed with nothing with but absolute contempt considering the misery they've visited upon us in the last 4yrs. They are the megalomaniacal parasites of this society. Vermin.
