Well in the 26 counties . The powers that be are more colonialised than ever. On the day 2 homeless die in Ireland the Prime Minister ( a fitting title for the position formerly know as "An Taoiseach" ) plays royal kiss ass to the imperial establishment. Any semblance of an independent state has been thrown in the bin. A serious bad case of "Black Skin, White Masks". NOT ONE mention was made by any of Ireland's journals or press, radio or TV. A complicit and spineless Irish media keep the despotic state quiet. As censorship encroaches day by day Steemit is a very welcome platform.
