Yes, 10 and 5 years, run consecutively. It's a pretty strong sentence given the guidelines and standard practice, even though it doesn't feel like enough

Yes absolutely, and the same applies to the fools on the comments below news stories about the breach of anonymity, defending the woman who has done it.

On the one hand, this place is continually dysfunctional. But on the other, we just managed to arrest, investigate, prosecute, convict and hand a pretty robust 15 year sentence to a former political leader. Which is more than some can do.

One metal magazine of the 90s actually coined the phrase "Hetfield Effect" to describe the tendency of rockers to switch from "anti-war / anti-establishment" to "patriotic / conservative" pretty much the second they passed draft age

Today has been: this spoon is annoying, my hair is annoying, this reasonable question well within the remit of my work is annoying, this toast is so good I think I might cry, this music is annoying, this question only vaguely adjacent to the remit of my work is INFURIATING, OH, LOOK AT THE CALENDAR!

Also someone in the comments was naive enough to suggest men march for women and you can guess at how that went.

Literally lmao.
A post on Facebook for a "women's march for men" A response reads "Nah, not trusting anything led by women" to which the page for the event replies "it's led by men"

How late was the taxi I booked today you ask? Well, I know they can be delayed and I'd prefer to be early than late, so I booked it early. It was still 25 minutes late. Now let's see if I can get to my destination in time.

It's criminal that our English curriculum doesn't discuss how many of our nation's greatest poets and writers were alcoholic perverts that had WWE-style rivalries with one another.

Okay but maybe the reason that I prefer reading women's writing is because they're significantly less likely to write stupid shit like this.

Nice uno reverse card you got there. Be a shame if there was footage or photos of other DUP reps doing the same, wouldn't it?

Brilliant article and absolutely essential. There is so much resistance to discussing how policy can drive disaster or equally save the day, so it's very refreshing to see serious journalists talk about it with the depth it needs.

Imagine if the Executive parties treated the Lough Neagh scandal with even half the effort which they expended on Drumcree: Crisis meetings, emergency court cases, constant pressure - even breaking the law to achieve a goal. Instead, there's simply no urgency as the lough dies.

First of all, this is horrific so massive warning for that. Secondly, the self-blame and shame she describes is common. Victims blame themselves both because society thought them to, but also because accepting it was out of their hands means it could happen again.

You can tell this is actually a fake cr*pto scam because no article about Glen Hansard in an Irish newspaper would ever feature the words "Sorry, he did what?" because they all knew damn well but never printed it.

This may look like a standard picture coming home from a primary school, but in fact Alice has made an exact likeness of her actual paternal granda here. Although I've never seen him dressed like St. Patrick (yet).

Drumcree is being portrayed, where there is any rights analysis at all, as a straight clash between Art 8 and Art 11. This is problematic, as it doesn't recognise the specific protest rights of the Garvaghy Road residents (as the CAJ and FIDH highlight here): www.fidh.org/en/region/eu...
