    He definitely skewered Farage.
    I listened live to the Rees-Mogg one - O'Brien completely failed IMO and I was egging him on, but Mogg swatted his gotchas away and O'Brien ended up sounding like a lunatic!:pac:

    Tbh, he nearly always sounds like a lunatic, resulting from a potent mix of massive ego and turbo-charged intensity when he's arguing his point.
    That's why I was very surprised at his calm demeanour during his spell as BBC's 'Newsnight' presenter; perhaps he downed a few elephant tranquilisers in the green room beforehand.

    Anyway, all the above notwithstanding, he's obviously a very smart, intelligent guy. So to describe him as: ''not being particularly bright'', is way off the mark.

    Much harder to do a couple of lines on TV than it is on radio I'd imagine.

    Saw plenty of black men and women in America at the beginnings of the protests last year just like this young woman - logical, intelligent non-performative, non-culty people are present (I hope in large numbers) but hardly ever get a mention on mainstream media.

    It's a lot easier to be a victim than to think for yourself. Any black person that thinks like her is called a coon, uncle tom, house nxgger . The media and politicians have a lot to answer for stoking flames which has created more of a divide than unity. While I agree that individual acts of racism still occurs, it's nowhere near the level people are trying to portray as. I found this fella Larry Elder on youtube . He grew up in the hood and talks about the hypocrisy going on in America today . Here's one of his videos where he shuts up a woke interview from TMZ.

    No, she is cis and goes by she/her.


    halfblackconservative - look her up. She is among other things a Trump supporter and parrots a lot of the arguments of the alt-right/neo-nazis.

    Ffs... No wonder labour have only 6 seats in the Dail. Hopefully they keep coming out with more rubbish so get no seats in the next election

    What's a cis ?

    The reason they call a real male a cis male and a real woman a cis woman is simple: when you have cis males and trans males, they all are a kind of male, so none of them will be the actual males and the other make-pretend males. Same for women.

    And just like the word cis , both belong in the toilet


  • Registered Users Posts: 38 Sorcha Dhuisigh _She_Her_


    Why does the term cis make you uncomfortable? Why do you want a word that helps marginalised groups feel included flushed down the toilet?

    Because it is yet another pointless label that certain people like to attach to themselves to make themselves feel special and claim marginalisation.
    With the added bonus of attempting to make the majority feel uncomfortable in themselves.

    You're a troll
    I've incorporated a checking routine in to my life every day of this month. I take 5 minutes at the end of the day to check my privilege and reflect on any instances where I may have diminished someone else's experience or not been a good enough ally. Doing it for the month of February, but I may keep it up afterwards.

    Every single one of those photos depicts a white heterosexual bride and a white heterosexual groom!

    Where's the diversity?? :mad:

    Could you not find any images showing gay men, lesbians, black couples, Asian couples, or the differently abled? :mad:

    It has to be the most disgustingly exclusionary and heteronormative thing I've seen all day. Seriously, it's 2021.


    (:pac:)

    A "diverse" wedding with too many guests happened in Tralee lately, you can work that out for yourselves, no fines etc to report.

    Stop using insulting pronouns to describe my gender, it ranks of sexism and discrimination

    Then it “re-jigged” the old memory.
    Also, and this is very important, please don’t misgender me. It’s Emmet, not Emma. I am a cis whyte male, my “preferred” pronouns are on display in my signature.

    Very “suspicious” activity.
