Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1This guy will go far in FF.
He tried to put through a referendum in UCD to abolish the ents office, lost, and guess what, said the electorate were ignorant on the issue. So he just has to do it again.
He likes to shoot his mouth off on radio. He genuinly sees no contradiction in calling demo's himself to moblilse the UCD body populus on the grants issue, but attacks student protesters. Whats next, going into the bar on campus anr herding people to the library? That is the sort of blinkered thinking FF are crying out for.
Best of all, is is attitude towords women. If anyone read the Phoenix of two weeks ago they would know what I mean. He is (alledgedly) a 'hands on' sort of guy....
Aongus. You are a sad, pathetic wanker.
Should fit in perfectly.
As a UCD student I pay Aengus Hourihane's wages. It was with absolute disbelief that I heard someone who is meant to work to defend and promote the interests of UCD students on national radio supporting the actions of police who attacked and assaulted UCD students.
Since when was it Aengus elected as president of the defend garda brutality association?
As a president of a students union Aengus has had a poor performance to date, but this is ridiculous.
Even had the gardaí actions been lawful which they clearly weren't Aengus would have been completely out of line to side with the gardaí against his members who behaved in a peaceful manner at all times.
Aengus has been on national radio as president of UCD students union twice that I am aware of. At neither time did he raise issues of genunine student concern such as housing problems, the grant, fees etc.
He also had the nerve to accuse others on national radio of using the protest and the violence on Monday to hijack the media. What on earth was he trying to do?
Are any of you seriously suprised by the comments of this individual. He's a member of Ogra Fianna Faill, ah the future is bright!
I cant believe these comments! have I missed something? This guy is the President Of UCD Students Union? Good luck UCD - you have an ill-informed and somewhat biased leader on your hands. I was there and was shocked at the response from the Gardai. I would condemn the use of the car earlier in the day as being pointless and stupid - but there wasnt any 'violence' from the protesters and certainly nothing to warrant the charge that ensued. Bystanders were hurt by Guards, and some protesters did end up in hospital - I can verify that.
Claiming that '...the Gardai just don't automatically take out their batons for any reason' proves that Mr. Hourihane is living in a fantasy world - it is nothing short of moronic ilk.
