Someone had to say it

The past week was one big irony reel. A man who once said gun deaths were “worth it” met that fate himself, a local tourist decided a UNESCO site was her diary, and 150,000 protestors in London shouted about immigration before queuing for immigrant food. Let’s get into it.

Dying for Your Own Argument

Charlie Kirk once said gun deaths were “worth it” if it meant protecting the Second Amendment. This week, irony cashed in; he died to the very violence he defended.

No, nobody deserves that ending. But it does underline a brutal truth: when you treat lives as collateral damage, one day it might be yours.

This wasn’t a man with “imperfect opinions.” He spent his platform glorifying harm, calling for a 10-year-old rape victim to give birth, sneering at women, dismissing racism as if it were optional. His voice was loud, but loud isn’t legacy.

Last Word: Defend the fire long enough, and don’t be shocked when it burns you too.

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall… Don’t Scratch It

Sigiriya’s Mirror Wall has survived 1,500 years. It’s stood through dynasties, invasions, and weather that would peel the paint off your house in a week. And then comes a 21-year-old tourist from Avissawella, who decided her name was worthy of being immortalised on a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a pen. Really.

She was arrested on the spot, and thank God for that. Because this isn’t just careless; it’s vandalism. It’s one thing to take selfies and clog Instagram with the same angles of the Lion’s Paw. It’s another to carve your identity into something that belongs to all of us.

The Mirror Wall isn’t your diary. It isn’t a school desk. And it certainly isn’t the place for a “XYZ was here” moment. When you scratch your boredom onto stone, you’re not just damaging history; you’re proving how little you understand it.

Last Word: If you want to leave your mark on the world, babes, try doing something worth remembering. Not scribbling on walls that were standing centuries before you.

Unite the Kingdom? On Immigrant Food, Apparently

Over 150,000 people marched through central London under the banner of Tommy Robinson’s far-right “Unite the Kingdom” protest. Anti-immigration chants filled the streets, flags waved, and speeches railed against multiculturalism.

And then? Many of those same protestors were spotted grabbing curries, shawarmas, and kebabs from Indian and Middle Eastern stalls along the way. The irony writes itself. Shouting about “taking Britain back” while tucking into samosas and falafel is like protesting electricity with your phone flashlight on.

You can’t erase immigration while living off its flavour. London without its immigrant communities isn’t just smaller, it’s blander.

Last Word: Hate might fuel the march, but it’s immigrants who feed it.

Until next week, spot the ironies, respect the history, and maybe thank the hands that cook your food.
