    Northern Ireland and ‘Nazi Tinder’: Single, lonely, and looking to ‘breed white’

    19/1/2026 | 25 mins.

    The right-wing dating site Whitedate.net, dubbed the ‘Nazi Tinder’, has dozens of members across Ireland. But only one of them mentions love as a motivation, many mention the need to “breed” for the “white race”. The site’s thousands of profiles were leaked online after a hack. A lonely Belfast man said he was looking for a “lady who has never been soiled by other races” and “a bride willing to have children, in order to stop the destruction of our people.” Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph reporter Kurtis Reid.

    Barristers strike means delays for victims, but lawyers say they have no choice

    12/1/2026 | 28 mins.

    Northern Ireland’s criminal defence barristers are on indefinite strike over pay. The move will exacerbate delays in a system already notorious for how slowly it can operate but the lawyers say they have been left with no option. Justice Minister Naomi Long says the strike is unnecessary and will have a "devastating impact on the justice system, particularly for victims". Ciarán Dunbar is joined by criminal defence barristers, Michael Forde and Aoife Macauley, who put forward their case. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
