When did landlords become a protected class?? We did this when my partner sold his house. Nothing wrong with it.

Jim Allister is a (v good ) Barrister & has said multiple times that he would have no qualms taking the case of an IRA person if he was approached because the cab rank rule is fundamentally part of the legal system here.
JIM ALLISTER.
So quit with this angle about Catherine Connolly, it’s a smear

Fairly sure the group involved here also protest outside the homes of migrants and were outside the home of a family friend. MLAs outside Alliance who talked about legitimate concerns when protests happened aren't mentioning that today.

The older generation lived through it. For some young people it's a vibe, which is incredibly depressing

You tie yourself in awful knots trying to justify the history of this place and justifying one set of murders over the other. It makes the moral grandstanding that follows stick in your throat.

These perspectives exist within ni and have more support than ppl think. I think we have to learn to live with each other, understand why believe this and understand why violence happened. Still difficult tho.Ppl who supported violence need to get why people vehemently disagree.

I'll bite. What is the benefit we gain from politicians being able to 'thoughtfully' say in private 'blacks, British Bangladeshis, British Pakistanis, British Indians, mulattos....all the same, and clearly from the look of them not-integrated?'

Shadow DEFRA SoS, Victoria Atkins MP, bemoans those trying to score points off Jenrick's "private" remarks: "These are conversation we must have thoughtfully away from the clickbait of social media that, sadly, is so often the case."

No, you're not going crazy. You did read this and also read about the PSNI arresting people in London for being members of a proscribed organization.

Exactly! I'm not saying presbys agree with the other stuff btw but this obsession with doctrine and scepticism of (what I understand) basic Catholic practice is so bizzare!

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 8d

Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.

The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

Matt Walsh: Horrific. The whole thing. Pope Leo blesses a block of ice and then stands there while these communist freaks do some kind of weird pagan Earth worshipping hippy ritual. The leader of the Catholic Church shouldn’t be anywhere near this nonsense. What the hell are we doing here

You will note how some proscribed groups are violently suppressed by the state with definitions broad enough to encompass pensioners and disabled people holding signs, while other proscribed groups are apparently free to operate in the open and ‘have a word with themselves’ over assaulting women.

Rory McIlroy told a heckler to “shut the f*** up” before hitting a brilliant approach to close out another victory with Tommy Fleetwood at the Ryder Cup.

The fiery exchange fired up the crowd as Europe tightened their grip.
