I thought he went to uni earlier than that, but I guess not.

It makes it unlikely that it was a 'long standing tradition' though. Maybe it's something that he just decided to do that wasn't a tradition at all.

Like loving a dead pig on camera.

They might have burned different denominations before then.

Catholics, for example

There's a pretty good new film called Young Offenders out now, where two young lads from Cork go on an adventure to score a bag of washed up cocaine. Loosely based on the same thing happening in the Irish southwest a few years back

labour are opposing brexit probably shouldn't be in large letters

the word FIB is in even larger letters just before it, and that's a small word that small children can read and understand.

It's amazing and sad but every time I ask "hey this politician sounds like he might be slightly good, is that true?" the answer is always "no, it's not true, he's poo poo" because all politicians are poo poo. I mean, I already know that, but I'm kinda grasping at straws here you know.

Many people are going to read that and nod approvingly at the wisdom of exposing this guy, because they "wouldn't want to be treated by a gay who most likely has HIV" or something like that

it's also a warning to others in the regime who may want to defect / run away - our reach is long and we will get you.

Honestly wasn't sure if you were talking about The Sun or North Korea for a second.

It's literally "he's gay". You can't even argue that there's a risk of him giving HIV to patients, they've already loving got it.

This is admittedly besides the point, but this is a common misconception. There are multiple strains of HIV, and it's a real bad idea to collect them like Pokemon

that trend looks weak enough to be driven by just one or two of the polls at the edges

I don't disagree with the thesis, I just think the graph doesn't show much

I can't remember the last time I saw a polling company include the R-squared value of a trendline. Political science = toilet science

I remember the first time I tried to buy something in London with NI sterling and was denied. I started in on a rent about colonialism, but then stopped myself when I realised the only response was literally "Sir, this is a Burger King"
