  1. Can’t beat a dollop of jam in your porridge to be fair.

  2. How did they get into a museum with a saucepan of porridge?

  3. So, to protest against food insecurity, they wasted food.

    Okayyyyyyyyyyy……….

  4. “Let them eat cake”, but more specifically a Victoria Sponge.

  5. >before reportedly gluing themselves to the plinth.

    Anyone who glues themselves deliberately should be left there…

  6. I think it’s a more interesting piece now with a more interesting subject matter-let’s call it a time based piece of contemporary art. (Esp if it were left to mold!)

    It’s an interesting conversation and one that hopefully starts some dialogue about colonial oppression in Ireland (one which might not happen very often in Scotland).

  7. ‘They will continue to carry out similar actions untill their demands are met’ …..what’s this supposed to be gen z’s version of the IRA? No warning porridge attacks set to continue guys….

  8. Queen Victoria was reigning when the famine raged here, as millions died with grass in their mouths she sent just £2k, her advisors refused to accept any offer of aid from abroad more than hers. Sultan of Turkey had to cut his original offer of aid & sent Ireland £1,000 instead

  9. They have a point Increasing poverty is the current policy of the UK (and Irish) government the only people that disagree with that are people that just don’t understand how the economy works.

  10. Given the big fuck off bronze statue of Victoria on O’Connell Street is now in Australia, it’s pretty clear already that Irish people aren’t fans of hers.
