This seems like something the thread will enjoy.

And it almost immediately goes into landlords wanting sex in exchange for a place to live, this is grim stuff.

How else do you expect her to show off her USP as a Tory politician, "almost certainly not a child molester"? When's the next time they'll be able to show off their non-molestation capabilities? When was the last time?

It's an OK read, but pretty :rolleyes: when it comes to FG's "missteps". Coveney or Varadkar reiterating their party line (which calls for Irish reunification) is not new information, whether or not the DUP decide to cry about it can't really be helped, and they can't be appeased by anything short of dead Catholics in the street so gently caress em

Yeah I agree. The article fails to mention that implicit in the idea of a united Ireland is the border poll. This isn't 1922 Mk II. Oooh people who voted, on all political sides, to stay in the EU might actually try to stay in the EU (well, not the unionists).

The border poll is not gonna happen though, let alone a united Ireland... and the GFA is gonna get ridden over roughshod in March.

They were passed a document about internal Labour investigations and the police say some might be hate crimes. Labour is ahead of the police on this one no matter what and any headlines blaming the party or implying fault other than they have a lot of members is a deliberate attack.

That's precisely what they're looking at - whether Labour dealt with these allegations adequately and whether some of this stuff should have been referred to the police.

It'll be extremely bad if the police decide something is a crime against someone who has been through the process and is still a member I agree but Labour party disciplinaries are about Labour party membership, if someone has been a victim of a crime then they should report it to the police themselves.

Also lol at loving Marr the absolute bastard will be having Stephen Yaxley-lennon on soon.

Inviting Arron Banks on TV to discuss the details of the criminal charges levelled against him.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure that counts as some kind of perversion of justice/potentially biasing the trial, ie the same poo poo Tommeh got nicked for.

It's that time of year where for some mysterious reason, we celebrate the failure to blow up politicians by burning pallets and effigies, and then blowing up things for entertainment.

If any of you are doing your own fireworks displays over this weekend, please make sure you stay safe and follow the instructions and precautions. They are there for a reason and while the general public doesn't get to buy the most dangerous stuff, you can still kill people with retail fireworks

If you're going to a public display - which I would recommend instead of doing your own - spare a thought for the fireworks crew who will have been out in the cold four hours setting up for you. The majority of us are volunteers who don't get paid - if we're lucky we get a free burger, but I struggle to get even that at one of my regular events!

And if playing around with professional fireworks in front of an audience sounds like fun to you, just make contact with whoever does your local ones! Most shows are always interested in an extra pair of hands for next year. Just rememeber that they probably *can't* let you help this year until you've been trained!

(If anyone wants to know anything about doing professional fireworks displays just ask. It's good fun but hard work!)

There have been plenty of scientists and "scientists" like adam smith on our notes already, should prob have a composer people didn't hear about at school already 30 times on there, or similar, so people discover something new when the BBC News publishes a "who the gently caress is [insert note person]" article on the website.
