@RichardWellings @UxbEconomist07 Starting to make NI’s economy look good - the upside of Stormont’s inability to agree anything is it can’t enact many proactively anti-business policies.

The Welsh economy is already a basket case, heavily reliant on state spending funded by subsidies from England. The last thing it needs is yet another tax on businesses, which will also undermine labour mobility and access to job opportunities.

@MatthewOToole2 So, if the UK adopted the Euro you would be content with the current border?

@Fatlad19211 Yes, and the most mutually beneficial and practical route to same would be via UK membership of the Euro.

@WillJanice @MartinG1492 Agree but the general question was made earlier asking who did Jesus physically attack.
English
@Fatlad19211 @MartinG1492 No one at this bonfire was physically attacked. no one said Jesus physically attacked anyone!
English
This is racist & hate-mongering & anti-biblical.
What would Jesus do?
Definitely not this!
I am extremely disappointed that the Grand Lodge of Ireland has not explicitly condemned this.

@MartinG1492 @WillJanice As a footnote, while Jesus overturned the money lenders’ tables and drove out animals in the temple with a whip, I don’t believe He physically attacked people.
English
@WillJanice Who did Jesus attack physically?
The merchants & moneylenders in the temple.
There is no record in the Gospels of Jesus acting in a hateful way to any pagan.
Look at how he treated the centurion whose servant was ill.
The phonoecian woman.
The Samaritan who was a leper.

This is the downside of abandoning an overarching national culture and turning your country (and capital city) into something resembling an international airport terminal. Diversity is not our strength. It is, in many respects, our greatest challenge.

If an incoming PM is looking for ways to improve Westminster, I would gladly lead a review of the effectiveness and value for money of Written Parliamentary Questions. Of course, they play an important role in providing scrutiny of the government. But, really...

‘Neo-liberalism’ and ‘trickle down’ are just buzz words of know nothing pontificators. They use them because they think it makes them sound smart. It doesn’t. And they are unbecoming someone about to become prime minister. We deserve deeper, more considered analysis.

'It's an end to neoliberalism and trickle-down economics which did not trickle down very much at all.' Andy Burnham signals that he will take a ‘very different’ political direction when he becomes Prime Minister, promising a more 'inclusive approach' to government.

Surely we’ve moved beyond this level of pettiness. This can’t be the considered view of the GAA?

@GAHargan Yes, a lease is a common sort of deal. It looks like the BBC will commit to leasing the space for a minimum number of days per year which will enable it to end the lease on Blackstaff House, presumably saving money.

Naomi Long also thinks it's a good idea to have biological males imprisoned with females. She also advocated for puberty blockers for kids.
I could go on but you can probably see the progressive liberal pattern developing.
Vote for a progressive liberal party and you are on a slippery slope.
