This headline gave me a fright for a second. Thought O'Malley, McDowell, Harney and co were back on the scene
Hating the Irish is their bedrock. Their original mark 1 racism. Sometimes it gets buried by the newer versions of racism but it’s always there and they are always delighted to bring it out and dust it off.

Your reminder Rod Liddle not only said he couldn't have become a teacher because he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" in The Spectator, but he also wrote laws banning child pornography are "absurd" in The Guardian. Abhorrent.

It's entirely bloody irrelevant if it does or doesn't go directly to weapons manufacturing, either way it's boosting Russian capacity. With Aughinish we're part of the Russian war economy.

In 1951 Mayo win wearing white. They win fuck all for 74 years wearing green and red. They go back to wearing white in the final in year 75 and win it... is it time to ditch the green and red (despite the banger of a song)?
