    Wow, where does one start? Good luck and well done in any case.

    I trust you mean households or, at the outside, adults as opposed to the population in total but I take your point. 1991 is, however, a vanishingly brief snapshot within a timeframe in a post that you have replied to.

    Sorry to contradict again but the housing situation isn't as current as is made out and the rift between those with freeholds, secure tenancies and those without is nothing new either. It wasn't just the lack of work that forced previous rounds of emigration, it was lack of accommodation too...

    This is the thing, the shpiel from the likes Bord Failte goes that pubs in Ireland are all about people in Arran knitwear, drinking Guinness, playing/tapping their foot along to fiddles and tin whistles, having the craic. By and large, that's baloney. Even if you go to places where the shtick is...

    Oh, and I'm not great with clichés and stereotypes. So, people (yes, all x million of them) no better or worse than anybody else in the world. Countryside, some nice bits- others not so great. History, good times/bad times. Pubs, meh.

    Because, apparently, its 'home'.

    You should get a job with Bord Failte. Regarding the people, George Bernard Shaw was as close to the mark, the countryside-bungalows and slurry amid the beauty, if great=tragic then yes, great history,,,,, pubs-meh. I've been going four times a year for the past thirty btw.

    Defiance: Fighting the Far Right Channel 4

    Yes. I am wondering if this is a South Asian eye perspective or a full blown 'Asians all by themselves against the fascists' affair. The Unite and Fight aspect of anti fascism often gets relegated to the background when time is limited.

    Illegal raves are back ....

    £26, As I say, when the need arises, the resources will be there in abundance. 12 hours? Amateurs.

    Illegal raves are back ....

    I quoted a sentence that included the words 'real powers'. What has legality got to do with anything? I accept your general point nonetheless.

    Illegal raves are back ....

    Battle of the Beanfield. CJA (19** etc, 20** etc). More than enough string for the bows when the need arises.

    The downfall of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson

    It's worse than that though, a pedantic bigot.

    The downfall of Sir Jeffrey Donaldson

    So much ignorance being called out. I shall stay quiet lest I make mine apparent. Oops, too late.

    You appear to be in a hole. Would you like me to hold your shovel for a while?

    The Rise of the Far Right

    Ah, but that would be a protestant septum taking a hammering there I believe.
