ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Maybe learn to address them in Irish or offer to sponsor Irish language street signs .. 011
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Same. So very very tired of all the bs 040
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Considering who we all suspect are behind a lot of this that seems wise 000
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Oh the need cameras no way I'm going anywhere near those areas atm 000
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I would absolutely support the outcome being an united Ireland lol. Sadly I think instead we will see a lot more of the racist and sectarianism as this goes on. Recreational summer rioting in NI being what it usually is 020
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Also needless to say the riots are deeply racist and I could do a long deep dive into the situation here but then I may never stop. Just please stop encouraging the madness here it's disgusting, dangerous and racist AF 1932
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 11/06/2026"Want to be Irish"... Hahahahahha please *please*go to those areas of northern Ireland and start labelling them as Irish. Please I beg you 629212
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026That's fair. Yes those areas are still very much there. Overall things are usually better than they were but then you get something setting it off and we are back to riots. And our politicians here are more hindrance than help sadly, too many being *deeply*sectarian 010
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026In fairness it's also a lovely place to visit and 9.5 times out of 10 you'll have a great time But the far right is on the rise everywhere atm and ni is vulnerable to the propaganda esp wth some ppl glorifying the past, poverty, unemployment and social media manipulation. Then things to boom. 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I'm not sure it was ever legal in mainland Britain whereas the exemption in northern Ireland comes down to the troubles. It always comes back to the troubles. 000
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Actually one more thing I am not saying all on the nationalits are immigrant or leftwing. we also have situations where the nationalists has recreational riots. Also far from all loyalists are a problem It's complex and a small part of the population both sides being problematic not the majority. 020
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026The annual marching season. I'll get off my soapbox now but hope it was at least a bit helpful to someone 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026May sound good on paper especially if you aren't familiar with northern Ireland, but sadly is not a solution over here and we rather not ignite more of the nationalist Vs loyalist issues that already exists here, especially not during summers where tensions are already high due to cont.. 130
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Paramilitaries and the far right you get last night's riots and last year's especially as they mainly took place in loyalist areas. Northern Ireland still suffers from the aftermath and trauma of the troubles. But expecting the nationalist side to go in to loyalist areas to calm things cont.. 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Economic differences feelings in the loyalist community of being left behind etc and you get the current powder keg. There are usually some riots every summer hence it being called recreational rioting a lot here. And with the ties between loyalist cont.. 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026The loyalist paramilitaries were not made to do the same. It has meant that in the years since the loyalist paramilitaries has become pretty much criminal gangs that still has a lot of control in the loyalist areas. Add to that a lot of social cont.. 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Loyalist side traditionally have more ties with the far right, the politicians lean more right and more hard Christian right. When the nationalist paramilitaries mostly disarmed as part of the good Friday agreement cont.. 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026For nationaljsts to go in and intervene in loyalist areas would inflame the issue further and not calm them and vice versa. If we generalise the nationalist side of the community is usually more pro immigrant are deeply pro Gaza and usually more left leaning politically Whereas the cont... 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Because northern Ireland is still very drawn between catholic/nationalist areas and protestant/loyalist areas even 30or so years after the good Friday agreement. It's deeply segregated where the tow populations rarely live in the same areas within the cities, go to the same schools etc. cont.. 220
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026It is illegal to use a water cannon against ppl in all parts of the UK apart from northern Ireland,where, in at least one area of trouble last night water cannons were in fact used 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 10/06/2026In fact most did. Belfast businesses are too familiar with recreational rioting not to take threats seriously and make sure staff and customers are home safely at the time shit is meant to kick off 030

ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Then remove from what will now have turned into curing liquid. Rinse off and dry. And then enjoy. It also freezes really well after curing in case you made a big batch. Good luck I hope it turns out great 😍 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Then cover the skin side with more coarse sea salt. Put a lid on the container and leave in the fridge at least 48 hours usually leave it three days but that's pretty hard cured and salty. If you can try to flip the container over after half the time to ensure it cures evenly. 110
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Completely covering all of the salmon flesh. This where you want to add your aromatics. The traditional is dill but I've done lemon and ginger successfully too. Add the other half of the salmon fleshy side down so it too gets properly smashed and covered in the salt/sugar mixture. 110
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 23/02/2026I don't mind at all the way granny (95) taught me was put coarse sea salt at the bottom of the container you are using. Put half of your salmon skin side sown on top of the salt. In equal measure mix table salt and granulating sugar and cover the fleshy side of the salmon completely you want it 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Makes sense. I do it every year at Christmas and it's seriously the easiest process possible 110
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 23/02/2026It is really really easy to make. Recommendation is to freeze the salmon for 48 hours either before or after the curing process but not sure if it goes with sashimi grade too. 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 09/12/2025I don't mind at all though I rarely post. I am usually a lurker and reader. :) 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025I like that. I know the school my kids are in at least try to teach it. And here (northern Ireland) it's very important to be able to question your sources. Kids say a lot of their peers cant see the point of looking for opposing views but mine both do and have got their friends to do the same. 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Absolutely and we seem to have forgotten that or not taught it to enough ppl and now we have people believing what the saw on Facebook or tiktok unquestioning and I just... I get so tired thinking of ways to fight that 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025It's such an important skill to have and having it I think makes it harder for ppl to take advantage and radicalise out with propaganda. And boy do we need to learn defenses, preferably a few decades ago but it is what it is sadly 110
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025The more I read about the results where UBI has been tested the more convinced I am that society badly needs it. Though sadly all our ruling classes are more likely to fight it tooth and nail than actually usher it in. 040
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Also your comment caught me when I was particularly irritated and I was probably far more combatant than I needed to be so sorry about that. 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025refuse to give in. Support those that can protest (disabled so can't be out on the streets but I can give to those that can) And recognise that this is bigger than one country atm. Solidarity to all fighting the far right on whatever levels they can. And breathe. This too shall pass. Eventually 010
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Apart from that, wake up every day and teach my own kids empathy, understanding all those critical thinking and propaganda skills. Talk about what's acceptable in all sorts of media they come across from when they are small to teenagers. 110
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Reading skills. Teach them to do proper source control of information and how propaganda looks and works. In the long run I think the last one is desperately needed. 110
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Two things. We need media and preferably gvmnts to push back on mis and disinformation and more or less run an education on how to recognise both that and propaganda the way they used to (and again need to) run information about vaccinations. Secondly we need to teach kids critical thinking and 110
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Can come up with is tackling inequalities. And do it properly not a sticking plaster that just makes it look better but fundamental societal change in how we all deal with unemployment, housing, disabilities and benefits. UBI would be a good start Secondly I think we desperately need 120
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Oh god no definitely not anti immigrant. These days I'm an immigrant myself though all my family (apart from my kids) are in Sweden still some very vulnerable for the far right. I wish I had ideas of how to fix it. How to fix everywhere that seem to be falling to the far right and neo Nazis. Best I 210
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025I'm not defending the neo nazis. Never have never will. I was just say Ing that no not pretty much everyone has jobs as you rather flippantly said. I will never defend that. And I didn't. I said it was wrong. I then said your suppositions about Sweden were wrong. Both can be true at the same time 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025It's nothing wrong at all I'm all in favour of it the point was that the whole everyone looks like them isn't exactly true. It never was but definitely isn't now 000
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025USA is not the only country in crisis ATM. So instead of throwing out statements like that maybe read about why the neo nazi support is growing. Won't take long. God knows the rest if us does the same in regards to the USA 200
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Based on Sweden in the 60ties and seventies. Today's Sweden is very different, its politics are a lot dirtier and uglier and the far right are hoping for serious wins and a part in the gvmnt following next year's elections. I hope that fails but am afraid it won't. 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025The ethnic mix. I know you meant white again 20% plus Roma and Sami. The other point is they all having jobs the unemployment rate in Sweden is 9.3% so unemployment is a real issue in Sweden which sadly these neo Nazis prey on. Sweden today is far from the stereotypical idea ppl has which is 100
ulimonster.bsky.social @ulimonster.bsky.social · 08/12/2025However on your other points up to 2023 Sweden took in a lot of refugees per capita so about 20% of Sweden's population are immigrants or have immigrant parents. Not to mention the substantial group of Swedish Roma. Sweden is not a homogeneous population especially when we add in Finns and Sami to 100
