Half the country will be away on holiday here.  I'll have to get the postal vote sorted.

Western standards laid bare for all to see:

I'm not sure the term "Western" is appropriate, every west European country and Canada, Australia and New Zealand support the ICC.

The USA don't.

Then the post should have referred to the USA and not to "Western".

While your post shouldn't have made the claim that "every western country" supports the ICC.

The point I was making is that the "western" world were up and arms and rightly so when Russia invaded Ukraine, sanctions, diplomats getting banned etc etc, but when Israel starts slaughtering the Palestinians on a scale that would make Pol Pot blush, there's none of the same concern.

Is there any nuance at all between the two conflicts or do you reckon they're directly comparable?

The direct comparison is that innocent women and children are being killed in both.

what other nuance do you need?

JMD Final is not on their schedule Mossey. I'd be confident it will be on Clubber TV though. So, perhaps they'll have it? They've covered it all so far: https://www.clubber.ie/sports/gaa/joe-mcdonagh-cup

Failing that, Aer Lingus have a sale on! Flights, Buses and Match Day tickets probably under $1k and ring the folks in Laois for a bed!

Bad timing for the DUP.  "Safeguarding the Union" dead in the water, the ruling that the Rwanda act doesn't apply in NI.  Big Gavin Robinson under pressure in East Belfast, South Antrim maybe in the mix.  While I think he'll be re-elected, Eastwood's majority of 17,000 should be well reduced.  For SF, there's Fermanagh & Sth Tyrone.  Michelle Gildernew is standing in the Euro elections in the South.  If she wins a seat she can't run for Westminster and even if she doesn't win, surely SF have to declare their candidate in FST before 7 June?

Maybe hoping for a bit of Euros feel good from the electorate but surely they are on the road out.

Jeffrey about to lose his income and expenses too.

Jenas FFS! No doubt  he'll get the final as well... again.  He must have the best agent  on the planet!

ITV it is then.

Its a biodiversity thing, the streets will never forget (so I'm told)
