It's embarrassing to all of us that this shite soundbite generator gets to parade around with the mantle of expertise here. Imagine treating 'the amount of homes that are being built now' as the fixed number in this equation and expecting not to be ridden out of town on a rail.

OK so waving a flag is terrorism but arming a terrorist colonial state currently starving thousands of children is not terrorism? Malicious distraction tactics from the UK establishment.

This weekend saw two funerals for Mirjana and for Paula, who died violently in their own homes. This morning the awful news broke that Gardaí are conducting a murder investigation into the death of a woman in Cavan. This cannot go on. One life lost is one too many.
