Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

While the focus on Ireland is obvious, it is strange the exceptionalists rarely mention other countries where British citizens are able to lawfully become citizens
It’s beyond disrespectful to have this attitude towards Ireland, I know history, especially our own history is not taught very well

Dear the media,
When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies.
The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace.
Sincerely,

MI5 impeded inquiry into Stakeknife agent who murdered for IRA, says official report
Nine-year investigation paints highly critical picture of MI5’s handling of double agent
Britain’s security services allowed a top agent inside the IRA to commit murders and then impeded a police investigation into the affair, according to a damning official report.
MI5 helped the double agent known as Stakeknife to evade justice from a perverse sense of loyalty that outlasted Northern Ireland’s Troubles, the police investigation known as Operation Kenova said on Tuesday. Continue reading...
