This is a cultural war.
Wear your colours with pride. Wear your Rangers tops, and other sporting tops with pride. Get your own loyal order, band, supporters clubs, and cultural society badges etc embroidered and wear them with pride.
Some GAA activists wear their merchandise to work, funerals, schools etc, it's never off some of them. So lets wear our colours and show our identity more proudly.

The lack of brains is mind blowing.

Recently signed up to Paramount Plus to watch Mobland.

Is it worth keeping and if so what you recommend watching next?

Lioness and Mayor Of Kingstown are good shows.

Who is actually in charge of the Casement project is it Ulster GAA or is there a separately appointed board.  If it is the latter what are they actually being paid to do.  With the funding situation in abeyance I would imagine their hands are tied.

Fast forward towards the end, its all about oil.

Venezuela has more crude oil reserves compared to any country on the planet.

Yet another example of how big a shower of c#nts that the IDF and Israeli Government are.

Anyone been for a cruise lately?

Planning ahead for the 50th in a couple of years time, budget might only stretch for the mediterranean though.

It looks like an antisemitic attack.

Looks that way and absolutely an awful tragedy for all concerned.

However on the basis of the group that appears to have been  targeted world leaders will be falling over themselves to condemn it. 

No doubt the media will bring on contributors who would have you believe Jews are the most victimised group of people  in the history of mankind.

[Influencers or wabs?]

Influencers or wabs?

There's a few that pop up oo. Social media

The latest one is Andy Malone! Bonkers

He's around a while. Arsehole.

He's the clown with the dyed black hair from Newry? Have seen him. A balloon.

There is more than one of them.

Smokers are paying a right bit of tax!

I take a pint myself but I think alcohol should be taxed heavily at off licenses / supermarkets.  It is accessed far too easy.

How much less chaotic would A&Es be at the weekend and how much less pressure would the emergency services be under if drink was not as easily affordable especially those who live the working class (work shy) parts of the country.

I appreciate there is still the issue of drugs but if the drink was sorted it would be a starting point.

Not to mention betting shops open from craic of dawn with an unlimited supply of customers.

Must be all calling in on their way home from working a night shift...........some chance. 

More like 'work shy' areas as opposed to working class.

[as far as I can see most of this is self inflicted.]

"Layman's view on how to fix the issues, build more hospitals"
Has it occurred to anyone why we have an ever increasing sick population? Have we somehow created a system that incentivizes poor health, for as far as I can see most of this is self inflicted.
Also, how about tackling the systematic waste in the NHS. If something is "free", people can't help themselves but take the piss out of it.
I am for paying a bit less tax but paying for healthcare and medications as an when I need it.

Does not apply to all cases but a significant proportion.

A lot of Mr & Mrs (each 20 stone plus) about pushing a trolley around Tesco's stacked with all of shite of the day.  If not already they and their off spring are / will be clogging up the system now and in the future due to their 'lifestyle'.  It amazes me that in the so call deprived areas of places like Belfast / Derry you have no shortage of takeaways, off-licenses and pharmacists and usually all beside other.

I would have thought they could sell a sizeable chunk of the Jordanstown campus, surely that is worth a few £.

No way in the world that's a Dingle free to start with, could say fouled by Dingle nos. 8 & 12.

Thats a f**king disgrace.

+1 Has to be one of the worst decisions I have seen in a long time.

[NHS is clearly broke]

I think it's all underfunded by the Brits regardless. Historically and now.

The NHS is clearly broke. It's a mess and I woukdn't know where even to start to fix it. How would you even start restructure it?

Education is a mess. Schools having to close because of leaks in the roof. Other schools have mould and damp etc. in classrooms. Mobiles falling apart. Again, how and where do you start to fix that?

Housing is a big issue. Not many houses being built nowadays. House prices are crazy now. Where does that end? Another recession?

Public servants e.g. teachersand nurses etc. all looking for more pay. Where does that stop?

Prices of everything going up....from food to car insurance. When's that going to stop?

I'd stick a £20 fee on going to see a doctor. That would help to cut down on the number of 'no shows'. Trying to get an appointment these days is crazy. People decide to just go to AE and at least, after a huge wait, they'll be seen there.

When you think of the billions that has been sent to support Israel in their genocide campaign in the middle east etc., that could have been better spent on the NHS.

Would people on here be happy to pay water charges for example? Or would here be uproar?

We can't have it every way. 

Can't see the metrics around any of these improving in the foreseeable future, dread to think where we will be 5  - 10 years from now.

Between the whole lot of them they could not run a bath.
