Got an interesting break down of polling numbers recently showing that 24% of SF votes self identify as being "far right". It will be interesting to see how long Mary can ride the dragon. That's why I thought MLMcD's recent interview, was SF attempt to try test those waters and see how it fell. htt...

I was thinking the same. Though I don't know how it works. I assume it's mostly for loss of earnings.

Be a mixture of generals and specials.

I see a big mental health drive going on as people now just feel hopeless. Nothing to do with NPHET saying this could go on for another year and Micheál just being Micheál. I was talking to a lad in HR today and he made a point I hadn't thought about too much in relation to younger people. You have...

Why mention him? What does he have to do with the issue at hand? He's Redder's latest hobby-horse now that Kearney is gone. Jackman is on with Murray Kinsella every week, so it's no surprise to see him mentioned. The fact that Birch thinks Sexton will be Ireland's 10 in 2023, despite Gavan Casey's ...

Munster should have won though. Just sayin'.

Should they?

If Leinster had managed to convert one of those lengthy forays into the Munster 22 it would have been a fairly comfortable win, I suspect.

Both sides were fúcking awful.

North Down and Malone Road Prods are ok. Alliance Party too. Nah, unlike other areas they don't have to put up with the Shinners on their doorsteps, commerating and lauding the 'martyrs' . If they had, they'd run back to the UUP or DUP. I mean, yeah? That's what I like about them. They're like a cr...

[ I went on a few protest marches when I was younger. Including some Iraq War ones. Mostly to try and impress left-wing birds, admittedly. Brave man. I lived near Greenham Common during the mid-80s.

Re abortion, the report also makes clear that the availability of abortion in Britain was one of the reasons the homes improved their standards and treatment of women. The realisation that an alternative option existed was what started change. its kinda bizarre how the mother and baby homes had suc...

It's bad luck more than anything.

ROG replaced Humphreys - arguably with the latter being discarded slightly early - before being replaced by Sexton - arguably with the latter not being used soon enough - and then Sexton would probably have been dethroned by Jackson and/or Carberry.

Abortion was and remains largely something middle class women do in most of the West.

Bingo. I don't know a single woman my age who has had a child outside of a relationship.

In my absolute hoop is that plausible.

The report references the Scottish and Dutch equivalents as comparators. Treatment was far better than their Irish equivalent, but they existed. One issue that's gotten very little coverage is that adoption rates were much lower in working-class Dublin, i.e., they were much more likely to keep their...

I think POM has played better this autumn than he has in the previous 12-18 months. But selecting him at 7 for Ireland sums up the conservative nature of Irish rugby.
