Why does ‘culture’ for Americans never seem to be something that evolves? Why do they have this dogged insistence on telling actual Irish and Scottish people that they don’t understand their own culture or history, from several thousand miles away?
All 48 World Cup base camps are now finalised as FIFA confirm Iran have moved to Mexico. Their three games in America remain unchanged.🏟️

My 8 year old told me today
"Did you know McDonalds supports Israel?"
I said "Yes. How did you find that out?"
She said one of her friends at school told her.
She said "I don't want to go to McDonalds anymore"
Proud of her
@BradfemlyWalsh@iiwasinthee212 Just let it go. She’s mad as a box of frogs. Whatever consistency of thought you’ve imagined she’d have is an illusion. 212 was a banger though.
@BradfemlyWalsh OK. It looks bad. But he’s one of the good people. So it’s not visceral dehumanising hate, it’s just constructive feedback. With just a wee smidge of obviously racist language.
