Who the shyte prefers people over nature?! :)

Assad demanding more help from the west for the earthquake relief.

I can assure you, any traumatic event in the ‘west’…. Assad and Syria wouldn’t be the first with their hands up to help.

There are well over 5 million Syrian refugees being housed, supported and financed throughout Europe.

it seems like the EU is viewed by some as the golden goose of charitable organisations. That when X bad thing happens… “ ohh call the EU, they have to help “. The rich uncle.

one of the published goals of the EU, critical goals is to promote peace, its values and.. “the well-being of its citizens”… but.. The citizens Ukraine, Syria, and anywhere else seem to come first.

Saudi Arabia and The UAE are two of the richest countries on the planet. Why can’t they just sort it out for a change.. EU have done plenty, for everyone,

but plenty never seems to be enough… as seen with The Ukranian situation, it is MORE MORE MORE… now Syria on the phone….

Nicola Bulley: Police find a body in River Wyre

Maybe because they're so removed from the church and european stranglehold by the church (churches) it baffles me that when I talk to Americans, they prefer The Holy Grail over Life of Brian.

They are wrong, right? I thought Holy Grail was, yknow, funny and subversive, but not nearly as put together and hard hitting as life of brian (took some balls to lampoon Jesus Christ)

So the pedestrianisation of Dublin.

A taxi driver walking down Capel St earlier. Filming all around him.

absolutely like a ghost town there. Ever since I’ve known the area as a child it’s been a hive of activity, plenty of businesses, shops, restaurants, pubs, banks, tailors, barbers, DIY shops, travel agencies…just off from the bustling fruit markets… Capel St….almost deserted now….like a ghost town… nobody there, very very sad, but these are the times with total know nothings running the city / country.

if you use tiktok neilmurray45… worth a look…

Driving, Glenariff is an hour north of Belfast, located high on the northeast coast of Ireland…

very odd that none of the RAF bases in Scotland or North West England were tasked with providing aircraft…none of the UK based press mention anything aerially aside from the Aer Corps….

hopefully the government send them the bill as opposed to .. “ ahhh sure, ahhh sure, it’s nice to be nice, da state / taxpayers shall pick up the bill, sure.”

Operating costs of that aircraft are about 3700-4000 euros per hour…. So about the guts of 10 grand in terms of just positioning the aircraft from and back to Dublin. Time fighting the fire, positioning for refuelling…positioning for taking on water … etc,,,,you’d be looking at a six figure bill…

You can have him back

Too much smoke around him for it not to be a fire at this point. Even if this case is not true the last one very much did. It’s not helped by him hanging around with known gangsters. He’s a national embarrassment.

Video is private

I always wonder about these type of disappearances, why they don’t try and raise awareness of letting friends or family members know where you are going? From my time online dating some women would snap a picture of us together to let a friend know where she was and who she was with. It seemed pretty practical.

Thanks I hate it.

Is there a thread about the PSNI data breach ? I can’t believe that there’s members of it that family and friends and wider community don’t know what they do ?
