Joanna Gray says the Gen Zer she was mentoring had an epiphany: "It?s not us who suck; it?s you Gen Xers. No wonder you lot went along with all that trans BS, you'd all lost your bottle." Terrifyingly, he was right.

For 100 years they've betrayed Larkin - and now they supposdley honour him!

Lest we not forget, Trade Unionists of Jack O'Connor's ilk SACKED LARKIN from the Union he founded, for wanting what passive Trade Unionism has not achieved in 100 years.

Is it not time that rampant capitalism was curtailed? Is it not time that people with a social conscience were elected, both to run the country and to run trade unions? Is it not time that people who care about the welfare of other's are not branded by capitalists and their willing henchmen, the gutter press, as the loony left?

Is it not time that the people of Ireland stopped seeing wealth as Principle? Is it not time, the sick, the old, the infirm and the children of Ireland were cared for and treated equally? Only a Trade Union decicated to these values will achieve anything, other than being a Puppet of Boom and Bust.

I had a dream. I had a dream that the workers of Ireland flocked to the quays below Liberty Hall and honoured the GREAT Jack O'Connor.
I had a dream. I had a dream that all workers who wanted to join a Trade Union were granted this wish, by SIPTU.
I had a dream. I had a dream that the Ryanair and Curran workers backed by SIPTU put manners on O'Leary and capitalism.
I had a dream. I had a dream that the HSE would accept millions from O'Leary, before he ran for the Dail?
I had a dream. I had a dream that O'Leary had a dream, that he was destined to eradicate Trade Unionism
I had a dream. I had a dream that O'Leary joined the Green Party and was elected Taoiseach.

For allowing a Tame Trade Union like SIPTU to represent workers and betray the founding principles of Jim Larkin and ITGWU, the people of Ireland, are ALL LIVING IN A NIGHTMARE
