This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

Something tells me sucking up to the guy threatening to invade Canada and make it part of the U.S. by military force is not the best political tactic for a Canadian politician. Especially not praising him invading a country?

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

We know what Putin will have said. Peace - but only on his terms and to his advantage.

Trump is a weakling getting played by a tinpot dictator.

“If the Christian world is to honour the meaning of Christmas, it must turn its gaze to Bethlehem — not the imagined one, but the real one, a town whose people today still cry out for justice, dignity and peace.”

A powerful reminder of what is at stake for Palestinians and other oppressed people.
Christmas is not a Western story – it is a Palestinian one
Christmas is a story of empire, injustice and the vulnerability of ordinary people caught in its path.

Good demonstration of why Google AI overview should not be trusted.

According to this, Chris Rea had fairly robust opinions on the "business implications" of Brexit.

But it's confusing singer Chris Rea with a completely different person.

A country that invaded its neighbor, occupies its territory, and continues to bomb civilians does not get to claim it is ‘committed to peace.’

I can’t believe there isn’t a huge volume of votes sitting there, waiting for the first party leader to pledge a second referendum. The Remain vote would obliterate the ridiculous and corrupt Leave position.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.
This is so disgusting.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?

Odd that.

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.

He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.

Farage would have been about 33 at time.
