Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025The IRA changed because Catholic priests entered the Maze prison and educated its leaders, while the Protestant prisoners just marched up and down the corridors. During the peace process, the IRA hit the ground running, while the Protestant paramilitaries never really understood what was going on. 010

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Reminiscent of the Smirnov gambit, which consists of turning up to a game blind drunk, falling asleep at the board and snoring loudly. 000

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Russia has been using North Koreans as slave labour for many tears, in factories just across the border between the two countries. Given the militarism in Pyongyang, it's more or less a given that it is also using NK troops. 020

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Farage is all about plausible deniability, so he can't have people openly saying what he thinks. 000
Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025I came to England as a refugee and voted for the first time - as an Irish citizen. My husband is from NI but going through UK immigration would have been far too much hassle. 000
Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Starmer argues that people voted for Brexit because they were worried about immigration, and he regards it as his job to keep it to the bare minimum. I have never known a politician to have so little political acumen. 1133

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025So am I. But if I talk about it, I will only get my head chewed off. It was the same with Aids, and with Covid. 110
Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Farage can sniff out money like a dog sniffs a bitch. 010
Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Not for Starmer. He would argue that: 1. The referendum result is sacred. 2. The decisive issue was immigration. 3. Nobody should be allowed into the UK. 000

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025But Temu sells a lot of crap and they run a ridiculous promotion pretending to give away a tablet. I wanted to buy a burner phone and they were selling a 2G clamshell model for £25. Very cheap but even 3G is being phased out, so 2G?? Sure I got two great deals, but the jury's still out. 000
Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Ever used Temu UK? Recently I wanted a TF card for my Chinese hub, and they were the only people who sold them. Delivery was slow, but I got a very good deal. So I decided to use them again to buy a pack of 4 AAAA batteries for a USI pen. Delivery was even slower, but again it was a great deal. 100

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Explaining to men is so difficult. Look, women who have always been women know that there might be a problem having a pee in a public place, and plan accordingly. Women who have not always been women don't have that training. They have to learn on the job, just like the rest of us. 000
Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Interesting. Europeans explore on foot, Americans in a car. But why not? 000

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025The NHS has been in decline for many years and I never encouraged my children to go into it. My daughter did and left after F2. Now my younger son wants to do grad med. They watched me being ground down over the years but still want to do it. 010
Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 26/04/2025A bunch of trees in America is called an arbor. In Europe we call it an arboretum. Yes I know there's more to it than that, but that's what we do. 000

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 25/04/2025The GMC doesn't record where doctors are born, it records where they trained. About half of them are IMGs or International Medical Graduates. There are also a few EU graduates and the rest are UK trained. 020

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 25/04/2025We live not far from Armagh, where St. Malachy was from. So when my husband started talking about his prophesy, I had to put my foot down. www.catholic.com/magazine/onl...catholic.comSt. Malachy's Prophecy and Pope FrancisA popular prophecy, allegedly from the eleventh century, lists 112 future popes . . . and Francis was the 112th.

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 24/04/2025That's a tricky one, because my mum was a Raj head. My dad would treat her to tea at the Galle Face Hotel. But there was an outbreak of malaria in Ceylon and the British handed out little pots of Marmite. 000

Roberta Aske 🇱🇰🇮🇪🇪🇺 @kamalini.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Iran has not always been a theocracy. It was a liberal democracy until 1953, when it had the cheek to nationalise its oil industry. BP persuaded the CIA to foment a military coup, which gave them two Shahs and an Ayatollah. 041
