As much as this is a good news story, Ireland is not the UK. And Irish people would rightly be offended at the suggestion. Does this post really belong here?

Apparently the only cabinet member to be delivering her brief. Albeit delivering an utterly shit brief, but still delivering.
So chances are shell be kept.

Oh dear. My heat melted brain read that as Iran Visits. Why are the Iranians doing a hit piece on the Houses Of Parliament?

why did a US fighter pilot avoid British trial after strangling a woman in England
Because this is where the power imbalance lies between men and women and the US and the UK. The sicko pervert rapist knows this and the spineless UK government knows this. 😢
Fuck that creepy looking cunt.

As Palestinians, we refuse to see our stolen land traded in a city that was the centre of our people’s dispossession for more than a century
And yet… it will be.
This is the way of British society. If you’re brown, back of the line 😞.
- Comment on Anti-immigration protesters in Belfast set bins and vehicles on fire amid unrest over knife attack 4 weeks ago:
I know the answer to this but feel I need to ask anyway… What’s the logic here in firebombing a house on a “loyalist flag” laden street with a mother and little girls inside?
In completely unrelated news, the footage this morning on Sky News showed this house then panned back to the main road which was relatively undamaged apart from a burnt out bus. In the background, clearly visible, was this graffiti sprayed on a kebab shop.
Completely horrific what happened to the knife attack victim and it is right the offender is facing justice, but oh my lord it must be hard for non white people to exist in Northern Ireland. What a sad tragic place.
- Comment on UK companies opting to hire temporary workers over permanent staff, recruitment firms say 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on YSK: "Exchange for Change" will be a bottle buy-back scheme in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland aiming for a October 2027 launch 4 weeks ago:
A long overdue scheme. It’s been around parts of Europe for twenty plus years. The best part is that if you’re a lazy cunt and discard your bottle then it means someone else can profit. Hopefully it’ll also keep the streets a little cleaner?

What a simple solution!
Oh… shit. 🫠
- Comment on The disaster of Brexit is a warning against simple solutions to hard problems 5 weeks ago:
It might be the right solution, but it wasn’t simple. Look how constantly divided the country was throughout that time culminating in the UK leaving.
If it were simple the referendum would have been a no brainer and the red wall Labour voters wouldn’t have sided with UKIP and the Tories in pulling us out. But there’s a lot more nuances and complications that make it not simple.
- Comment on Sikhs 'demonised' after murder, says community leader 5 weeks ago:
Steady on mate. Why the personal attacks?
I’m against traditions made hundreds of years ago today that make no sense in modern society. Why do you need to carry a knife around? That’s why I brought up the other example as one where religious traditions can change - and should.
Presumably you are against people wearing crosses, tattoos of significant people or events in somebodies life, football shirts, or any other symbol of something to care about.
There’s no need to straw man an argument. What’s the point of that?
- Comment on Sikhs 'demonised' after murder, says community leader 5 weeks ago:
The whole idea of religion is fucking dumb to me. Why do you need to carry a knife around and then justify it as being part of your religion? Stupid.
Different religion, granted, but this is religious “way of living” that is absolutely fucking dumb and thankfully dropped years ago.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)
a chiefly historical Hindu practice in which a widow burns alive on her deceased husband’s funeral pyre
Sometimes you have to accept that traditions dreamt up hundreds of years ago are fucking stupid and should be abandoned.
