Don't worry, the Sun dug up some old racists in positions of authority to make sure everyone knows the nation should be Shocked and Appalled at Diane Abbott's despicable crime:
It's important for home secretaries to obey the law, whether that's common laws since time immemorial like "don't murder people" or laws introduced yesterday by some lank haired coxcomb like "spend more money in bars by not drinking on the train".

But not, curiously, safeguarding laws like "report rapes even if your husband owns shares in the company doing them."

It's frozen full-stop: the region is an economic basket case compared to the Irish Republic. NI was the richest and most industrialised part of Ireland at the time of partition but these days, NI exports approx. £10 bn of goods and services a year, while the Republic exports something like £220 bn. They're so far ahead it's ridiculous.

Yeah, why exactly did this happen? I'm only familiar with the start and end points of this development. Did Ireland (republic of) become much more attractive for industry at some point? Did people in the UK forget that NI exists and therefore stopped investing in it? (The political class of right now seems to have no idea that Ireland or Northern Ireland are things that actually exist, but on the other hand, the current political class are the sorriest bunch of idiot wankers since the invention of idiot wankers, so I'm not sure if it counts.)

What went wrong for the economy of NI?

it struggled greatly to preserve textiles and shipbuilding as the domain of Protestants, but both turned out to be spectacularly effective industries at replacing labour with capital or foreign labour; neither persisted as mass employers

its major unattractiveness for industry in the deindustrialization window can be summed up in one word: strikes. if we regard the 1970s-1980s North as the sick man of England whilst England was the sick man of Europe, Northern Ireland was even more strike-prone than the rUK for non-steel non-coal industries (which NI doesn't have much in the way of), and sectarian divides served to strengthen labour cohesion at a time of declining enthusiasm for organized labour

Not trees but in tonight's surreptitious planting adventures I'm going out to scatter a box of wildflower seeds I picked up.

I dreamt last night I did this in my shitpile garden. In reality it's mostly nettles and dandelions, think I'd probably need to dig it up a bit first to get wildflowers to take (I already have a couple boxes of seeds)

I've a cayenne indoors that's doing pretty well though!

ROI has been seeing a lot of foreign investment, particularly from the US. In the UK, most of that kind of thing gets swallowed up by London or simply goes elsewhere (the ROI) because we seem to be hell-bent on driving our economy off a cliff.

Leicester did fairly well out of a variety of textiles and shoemaking until about a decade later than deindustrialization hit the heavier industries in Coventry and Sheffield.

Many of the dyeworkers were Hindu rather than Protestant by the 90s though, but I'm not sure that made much of a material difference.

textiles appears to have been the preserve of NI Catholics, now that I look it up, but shipbuilding was indeed a Protestant political football, subject to considerable violence to deter Catholic competition

the point that neither persisted as mass employers remains salient, however

https://www.derrynow.com/news/republican-group-saoradh-say-republican-volunteer-defending-people-murder-journalist-derry/275585


Republican group Saoradh has released a statement claiming that a 'Republican Volunteer' was attempting to 'defend people' from the 'PSNI/RUC' when a young female journalist was murdered in Derry last night.

Lyra McKee (29) died after being struck by a bullet fired by a gunman towards police in the Fanad Drive area of Creggan estate around 11pm in the midst of rioting following police raids in Mulroy Gardens. The PSNI have launched a murder investigation and say they are treating the incident as a "terrorist incident."

Saoradh have consistently denied being the political wing of the armed republican group the 'New IRA.'
