If it were only a ceremonial role like here it wouldn't be so bad but for the fate of the planet to be in the hands of an OAP is pure bonkers.

No Ulster Scots, poor Jim will be furious. It's not been a good year for unionists, first the American president, then their own King snubs them!!!

There is a very strong agreement that Ulster Scots is not a language but a dialect. But never mention that to our Unionist friends. It's gets them a bit rilled up

Good to see some common sense with Paul Treyvaud. You can’t argue with it.

Today in BBC bollix and propaganda ...

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-65334390

This is a good thing apparently, no word on emissions or climate change - maybe because it's a non western nation poluting - so don't worry Greta, this pollution is good so no need to have a hissy fit.


https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65452940

AI Chat bots are bad - but don't worry only "bad actors" like Vladimir Putin are a threat in using them, USA is fine, they are good and moral - and so are Big Tech, they have assured us that they are "ethical".... phew, I was worried there ....


And there was another story, sorry can't find the link - "Did a black man discover the north pole"

Yes he did apparently.

So need to get the ministry of truth in there to change history, I wonder in 200 years time will Niall Armstrong be recorded as a trans disabled woman of colour ...

Its severing the link we should be,the British should be preparing unionists for their demographically inevitable withdrawal and dismantling of its military infrastructure here.....not this messing about cheering on Irish being spoken at a coronation to "own" unionists

The irony meter is exploding ...

No mention of the disinformation of the Russia collusion in the 2016 US presidential election , nor the fact that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true - no no no !!! this kind of disinformation moves in the correct direction so it's ok.


Also no mention of RTEs fearmongering and lies over Covid over the last 3 years - again this misinformation is OK.

I love the part about Google hiring "disinformation experts" to monitor content !! :D ..

23 year old colleage graduates that are "Disinformation experts" ... they are expert in finding stuff that they don't agree with ... I'll give them that at least.


My God, these people don't see they are the very thing they claim to fight against.

This is going to cause riots yet,the government/departments who left our own homeless and at mercy of landlords now plan to simply give away the modular housing provided to refugees


When this war is over,and likely most of refugees make way home,would these properties not be better suited to looking after our own??
