Why haven't they mentioned the toxic environmental and psychological conditions we have created? Give us some hard stats instead. It's far too easy to blame it on individual lifestyle choices. Forever chemicals and all sorts of other toxins may be way more damage. We need balanced reporting.

Hunter-gatherer societies are often put on a pedestal as paragons of equality – but the reality is more complicated
Hunter-gatherers do not always seek total equality, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t egalitarian.

For people of my age (old) and my background (CNR) who grew up in NI during the 90s, Drumcree was the nadir of community relation & differences in our perceptions of ‘rights’. We just could not conceive how a group of snarling, angry men thought their ‘right to march’ surpassed our ‘right to exist’.

The Celtic support refuse to make any genuine effort to effect change at the club. The only action which might be effective is to boycott ST renewals, and the support won’t do it. We’re stuck where we are until DD gets a big enough offer from the Middle East or a hedge fund.
