Scrooge's countenance fell almost as low as the Ghost's had done.
"So you and two others, Jacob?" he demanded, in a faltering voice.
"No. Three more."

Our son was at that parade. Thankfully, he wasn’t on that street when it happened, but we heard about it on the news before we heard back from him. A horrible attack. 21 years is a fitting sentence for that road-raging shithead.
The driver who ploughed through crowds at Liverpool FC's victory parade earlier this year, injuring 134 supporters, has been jailed for 21 years and six months.

English isn't my wife's first language, but she's lived in UK 20+ yrs. This morning, at a carol concert, I learned she has been singing that "Christ, Arse Saver" is born during 'Silent Night' the whole time. "Because he saves our arses, yes?"

The thing about tying attacks on Jews back to Israel is that people have never needed Israel as an excuse to attack Jews
If you don't understand this you don't know enough to be talking about anti-semitism and should shut the fuck up

Just reading about a doctor called Paddy Randles in Navan in the 1960s who wrote to all the newspapers to raise awareness of the number of his young patients with injuries from corporal punishment at school.
He was denounced from the pulpit and had the tyres on his car slashed.
