In March 2024, the #PSNI arrested a #sexcrime suspect. A knight.

Not just any Knight. Not just a knighted #MP. This was a #PrivyCounsellor, leader of the 5th-largest party in the #HouseOfCommons. The Rt Hon Sir #JeffreyDonaldson MP.

On 22 June 2026, Donaldson was convicted on 18 sex offence charges, including #rape & #CSA. Irish news has big questions. Who knew what when? Is there more?

But in Britain's sunday papers, nothing. Most senior UK rapist politician ever. But crickets. 😡

@2legged Meanwhile the local NI papers such as #BelfastTelegraph #SundayLife #IrishNews #Newsletter are carrying almost nothing else. Mainland papers don’t care about Ireland Upper. It’s expensive and troublesome and not their problem, unless it’s got racist riots or bombs. Not sure how much coverage this is getting in the Republic. There is more to come on this, I’m sure.

Yes, @HarriettMB. I suspect there's a hell of a lot more there.

I am also certain that there are a lot of very powerful people working hard to keep the covers on.

The papers you mention are doing a lot of work, snd already have some finds. There's some in the Dublin press. But in England, SFA.

As you say, riots or bombs or they don't care.
