Things that make you go What the F**k?

Believe it or not the fire brigade is the biggest user of these chemicals and has only begun to try and move away from using them

I understand the issues with PFA's (Dupont in America etc etc)

But following the logic below (please correct me if I'm wrong) are you not overblowing this a little?


The 'biggest user of these chemicals' is the Fire Brigade

They use them to put out fires presumably? (relatively rare)

They make a concerted effort to catch effluent involved in firefighting - especially if it is a longer term effort

They only leach into Lough Neagh when the fire is in the catchment area of Lough Neagh (we exclude a fair proportion of fires)

They've now moved away from using them

This Lindsay Clancy case is baffling

[Wildweasel74]

Reading up on it yesterday. I suppose the basis of the issue on the day, is She was aware enough to send the Husband away to carry out what happened. There was obvious serious issues as she was seeking help and on alot of drugs. I knew a girl felt suicidal after been put on a particular dangerous drug, to try sort a brain issue. Had to be took off it.If she was wary enough to send the Husband away when having the episode, u think it be manslaughter. Its abit of a minefield, especially on the basis of what reasonable doubt is having to be explained 2/3 times.

An interesting one. His licence was suspended for 10 years in 2015, so he is free and allowed drive. Is this hounding someone who has done their time? Is it in the public interest to know this?

Not really Franko, they are called forever chemicals for a reason. Fire fighting training would have been using these regularly, even the clothes they wear are full of it.
You take the large towns of Ballymena, Lurgan Craigavon Portadown Bandbridge to name a few who's sewers and storm water empty into the lough which is not treated to remove these chemicals and then this same water is picked up for drinking water to the same towns and again its not treated to removed the same chemicals and the cycle keeps going over and over. Logic tells you that this is a problem.

Did they ever establish what caused the cluster of leukemia cases that occurred around the Mid ulster area recently.

Northern Ireland's economy will be £10.9bn worse off by 2040 if failing water infrastructure is not addressed.

That is the dire prediction from the Wastewater Infrastructure Group (WIG), which is made up of representatives from the housing, construction, manufacturing and retail sectors.

The man did an awful thing, served his time and I'm sure will bear the scars of it for the rest of his days. He has the right to get on with his life now, crime world are bottom feeders making a story out of that

Seriously?

Wasn't this is the lad who took the Líofa scheme funding away? That was the final straw.

  compared to Wilson and Campbell for example. I just thought he was a bit of a disaster but it's hard to fathom how big a balls he is making of that role.

The Israel thing was a pretty major indicator and it seems to be just one thing after another. If there's no confidence motions on muir the surely this boy gets them too.
