Some thoughts on the news that 48% of those arrested over Belfast race riots had been reported to police for domestic violence. With McGr*g*r losing his appeal & definitively found to be a rapist in a court of law it is important we call out the hypocrisy at the heart of the far right movement.

We all do it. We store away odd nails, screws and tools and cables in the hope that someday itโll just be what we need. Today was the day, I used that Allen key that I knew would come in handy. All hail the Allen key ๐โโ๏ธ

โThe mushroom killer was obsessed with true crimeโ. If this had been a young person someone would be calling for a ban. The vast majority of true crime fans donโt become killers, just like most young people playing violent video games or listening to rap donโt go on to pop a cap in somebodyโs ass.

'there is a special place in hell for politicians who object to solar farms & other renewable projects. But perhaps the hottest part is reserved for those who seek to slow pylons and other forms of electricity transmission, they keep us on course for a burning world.

Net immigration across NI has averaged less than 3,000 people over the last two decades. If immigration is the cause of all our ills, NI should be the most prosperous part of the UK. Spoiler: itโs not. Despite the rhetoric, immigration is good for the economy.

Think Reformโs net-zero announcements may well be their first big mistake since their rise in the polls. There would definitely be scope to criticise specific climate measures, but trying to actively reverse shift to renewables lands well on wrong side of British public opinion.
