Why is the British taxpayer paying £165 million a year to rent an island from Mauritian Government so the Americans can put a military base on it? Why can’t the Americans pay their own rent?

Erfan Soltani is 26 years old and is set to be executed in Iran for protesting the government. It’s not clear how many protesters have been killed with estimates between 2000 & 12,000. With so much suffering in this world I hope that Iranian people achieve meaningful change & peace in their country.

Remember all the noise and fear is put out there intentionally, to demotivate and paralyse you. Hatred and evil always fail because they are unsustainable and destructive. Love and compassion are restorative. Be resilient, be strong, you need to survive this, you will survive this.

Amazing marketing. Pluribus is one of the best things I’ve seen on TV in years. Can’t wait to see how this season ends.

Thanks to GNI magazine for publishing my article about my academic research into domestic violence in multi-partner & consensual non-monogamous relationships. My research found an institutional blind spot & I hope this helps Public institutions provide better protections for everyone.

In Vienna, local churches host evening mulled-wine stands where neighbours gather, chat, and raise funds to support the church. It made me realise how impossible this would be in NI due to licensing laws. Communities are missing out on something simple and lovely because of archaic laws.

Northern Ireland's communities minister has rejected major reforms to liquor licensing proposed by an independent review earlier this year. Changes to the "surrender principle" were among the 26 recom...

Northern Ireland is on a path to Lebanon-style decay if Stormont doesn’t urgently change its ways, MLAs have been warned - but the warning didn't appear to cause any alarm. Now the chance of Stormont reform is diminishing as Alliance goes backwards.
Northern Ireland on path to Lebanon-style decay if floundering Stormont doesn’t urgently change its ways, MLAs warned
A few weeks ago, a senior academic sat before MLAs and delivered two stark messages which went unnoticed.

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Retro Room Belfast (inside Cityside Shopping Centre) is a must-visit for gamers—the largest video arcade on the island of Ireland. Wall-to-wall classic coin-op cabinets, a buzzing social vibe, and seriously friendly owners at who deserve your support. I had a blast reliving 80s/90s nostalgia.🎮

For those that need a little inspiration today. History teaches us that tyranny is unnatural and requires constant effort to maintain, people resisting it can break it. History teaches us that it never lasts, remember that. Original video by SWFT.
