Sinn Féin confirm intention to back continuation of cruel, colonial hare coursing

Sinn Féin, ever keen to present itself as the vanguard of opposing illegitimate British presence in Ireland, have confirmed they will vote against banning the barbaric colonial practice of hare coursing. Hare coursing involves a wild hare first being captured, a cruel and traumatising ordeal in itself. Organisers then trap the creature in an enclosure and set greyhounds in chase after it.

Shabana Mahmood’s cruel policy to force torture victims to share rooms ruled unlawful

In a ruling handed down yesterday by the High Court, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s cruel policy to force victims of torture to share rooms with strangers has been deemed unlawful. Justifying this pretty damning ruling, the court judgement states that Mahmood’s: failures amount to a serious breach of the Defendant’s public law duties, rendering the impugned policy changes unlawful. These failures refer to the fact that Mahmood did not instruct any consultations before introducing such an impactful policy change and also gave little consideration for the impacts of this policy on victims of torture, trafficking and other serious violence. Moreover, she…
