I completely forgot that weirdos in Britain hate Liverpool fans for no reason at all.

Jordan Peterson on lasagne

Thanking the DUP for their service this morning. Delighted JD Vance and I are not of the same stock.

Unfortunately stuck in a radio studio with David McCann

So that's why Labour are backtracking. Honestly feel so much anger towards the government. They should have backed the removal of the two child limit because they care about children, not because of poll ratings.

thoughts and prayers for the bank machine after this traumatic experience

Hundreds of former Afghan commandos & their families were refused relocation by a UK Special Forces officer with possible links to a war crimes enquiry where they could’ve been witnesses. At least five were later murdered by the Taliban. The MoD then lied about this to Parliament & the courts.

You say, "Why can't you be more like John Hume?" but your timeline heavily suggests that you still think the civil rights movement was an IRA psyop.

I’ve never felt less safe as a woman as I do now, thanks to the transphobes so obsessed with ‘protecting women’.

I do not like Kneecap.....but it's kind of ironic that this is happening when they're actually changing the law to make it easier for the psni to remove paramilitary flags because the psni can only remove them if they're collecting evidence

The Discourse is about to be Terrible

Glad we've got rain coming because the sewers in Belfast are boggin aren't they

All things considered I don't think the DUP's reaction to the new deal has been the worst. Sammy going "f**k it just get rid of it and I'll get a digger" was definitely good on the Sammy scale of reactions.

I can't believe we're going to get subprime burrito crisis. www.ft.com/content/6c4b...

We also wouldn't need a reset with the EU if Starmer and continuity Remain had backed earlier deals with the EU instead of pushing for a second referendum x

Someone has finally been held accountable for the war in Gaza, and it's Gary Lineker www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

fair play, that’s a decent signing

Israel spending millions of dollars on a campaign to buy the public vote in Eurovision while killing 500 Gazans, including woman and children, in a weekend of bombing has to be one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen a country do simultaneously. Fuck this. Fuck all of this.

That is a wonder day

Didn't @donnans.bsky.social write a smashing piece on the Supreme Court ruling sluggerotoole.com/2025/05/14/t...

"Do you want a pistachio latte?" "Do you want a Dubai chocolate mocha matcha?" "Do ye want pistachio flavour?" "Dubai chocolate donuts!"

I followed Jim's advice a few years back and enjoyed being cool while everybody fought one another in Argos for a fan. Buy the fan.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

The anti-immigration rhetoric in British politics I've heard becoming more and more toxic over the years is matched only by the occasionally irritated realisation in British politics that NI: 1. Exists 👋 2. Continues to enjoy many EU law protections and 3. Thus can also bind immigration policy ☺️

Those who are uncomfortable with this Labour immigration announcement, but think it's necessary to satisfy Reform voters, this is for you. You will not satisfy. You will never satisfy.

Has anybody tried making life better for people in the UK yet

He's going to cut migration, have no plan to fill the labour shortage and make massive budget cuts. Reform will be plus 20 by the end of the year.

A glorious day for picky bits

Wow is this how I found out I didn't get the job? A fucking chimney?

I need my fellow millennials to have some self respect because why are you worried what a 25 year old thinks of your jeans

Is now a good time to talk about the fact that the ending to Conclave (the film) wasn't good?

Heading back to Northern Ireland
