Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 22

The Foggy Dew

Those who sacrificed everything on Easter Monday, 1916 were forever remembered by Canon Charles O’Neill.

“For slavery fled, O glorious dead, when you fell in the foggy dew!”

Since the #ICE fascists want to recreate The Troubles in major US cities…

Protesters should be blasting out the #WolfeTones at full volume.

"Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man must stand behind
The men behind the wire

[...]

Not for them a judge and jury
Nor indeed a trial at all
But being Irish means you're guilty
So we're guilty one and all"

What’s the score #sport ?

#Limerick #hurling fans were reportedly the first to adopt #Zombie as a sporting anthem in 2018 after O’Riordan’s death. Supporters of #Munster, a provincial #rugby team that encompasses Limerick, followed suit and the practice spread to fans of the national team.

The dispute over Zombie mirrors a controversy over a #WolfeTones song that lauds the IRA with the line “ooh, ah, up the ’Ra” – a refrain adopted by crowds at some #football games.

Me: A core plank of my politics is well thought-out, principled anti-nationalism.

Wife: *gives me a white cable-knit sweater for my birthday*
