Looks like selling Royal Mail to a Czech billionaire worked out every bit as well as selling our water system to an Australian investment bank and our steel industry to an Indian multinational
You can buy books from Ian Brady, Charles Bronson, and the Kray twins in the UK, but you can't buy books from Sally Rooney because she opposes Israel's genocide.
She should've done something respectable like serial killing and her books would be fine.
The President of the United States taking the piss out of a mentally ill man who died just a couple of days before.
Frankly, I expected nothing less from this sociopathic arsehole.
@mjfree Even on this side of the Atlantic (Scotland) we are worried about how he is going to react. Iran/Russia could be nothing compared to when he really blows his top.
Wtf!
Just arrived in Tel Aviv for coverage ahead of the Israeli elections
Only to be told the Israeli authorities are denying me entry to the country!
Have reported widely on Israel / Palestine for the past 4 years for @Channel4News
I've just received a council tax bill for the house my Son lived in at the time of his death.
I told the council that he'd died in May of last year. They've sent a bill to me 17 months later.
I've suggested they give him a visit.
A lot of you from outside Ireland are probably hearing about the Garvaghy Road and wondering what all the fuss is about.
1998 -
After the parade was banned from marching on the Garvaghy Rd, ten Catholic churches were set on fire across Ulster in one night.
In the following days, loyalists attacked Catholic homes, schools and businesses. Multiple houses were petrol-bombed, resulting in the murder of 3 young boys, the Quinn brothers. Their home was targeted because their mother was Catholic.
She mother woke to the sound of her children screaming in fear and the house full of smoke. Sadly the boys, Jason, Mark and Richard, did not make it out.
Garfield Gilmour was sentenced to life in prison after he admitted to driving three members of a UVF unit to the house, but later that was reduced to manslaughter.
Johnny McKay and brothers Raymond and Ivan Parke were named by Gilmour as the killers, but were never charged because of a lack of evidence.
In the days following the murders, loyalist bands defied orders not to play music while marching passed the home of the Quinn boys grandmother.
Tonight, a court overturned an earlier ruling banning the parade from marching on the Garvaghy Road, crowds have gathered and confrontation now seems inevitable with that march set to go ahead early Sunday morning.
The courts allowing this march to go ahead is absolute madness!
