I don’t want any of the boat people to come here. Happy to admit that. I am confident that the majority of the UK electorate agree with me. Yet polls show that the Rwanda plan has very low support among the public and stats show most of the people arriving on small boats are granted leave to stay a...

Still seems easier en masse to end migration rights for reasons of asylum, or there needs to be a scheme to share the numbers around, it not being fair to leave so much on Turkey, Greece and Italy, and so little on the likes of the UK and Ireland Bumbling along not accepting there's a problem but h...

I'm actually shocked you can have to many witnesses to a criminal case and it be a problem, technical or not. Only in lawyer land does this pose an issue. I think it was because some of the witnesses gave evidence not directly related to the charges? Though seems harsh. I believe that's the case. T...

Wheels coming OFF the socialists... Maybe giving 'free stuff' and blaming Westminster is not the answer. Isn't everything worse in Scotland compared to England, despite getting more money per head? The money is being wisely spent on a couple of ferries... Plus the ferry company to run them, the boa...

I went down a youtube rabbit hole yesterday, with some guy arguing that the current trend of tuning vocals by default by producers is disconnecting vocalists from the instrumentation. He was comparing judy garland adjusting her vocals on 'over the rainbow' to an auto tuned 'pitch perfect' version. ...

I mentioned last year that on a plane from UK to Belfast, three quarters looked to be heading for Dublin.
It just seems the obvious place to go.

'Disturbing trend' of verdicts being overturned - dissenting judge In a sharp dissent, Judge Madeline Singas said the decision "perpetuates outdated notions of sexual violence" and makes holding defendants accountable for sexual assault "significantly more difficult".

Can someone who’s been following this explain what he actually did and why it’s been overturned? Technicality. Brought on by a desire to be excessively judicious. A sentiment they would never, ever extend to a black youth in a drugstore robbery case Harvey obviously still had some money left.

Sounds like a bunch of excuses. The 'appetite' is not from the girls themselves, and more girls of different shapes can play rugby than GAA PS if you can make 7s player's, you can do the same for 15s ... It just takes more effort.

Well, there's the continuing effort to smear the entire agency without such proof. You could consider that important if you like.

Still 88-10? With all those swathes of Lady GAA players, you'd think they'd be able to find a few to make a team.

Ireland is a rural country relatively meaning a local gaa club is the only viable club to go to for large swathes of people. Don't let your lack of knowledge of Ireland disrupt your opinion though. Don't let your lack of knowledge of me prevent you from making statements. The assertion was "GAA is ...

I believe he paid a vulnerable 17 year old for some sexually explicit pictures. Though it all got very confusing. No one doubts that he did this, which breaks the law, but the met police are just stating they didn't "think" he broke the law. It all smacks of some kind of fudge to me. Not sure you c...

How many Barretts are coming over and replacing another NIQ coming for a whole 6 months. Unless girl schools start playing rugby here we will never catch up.

He maybe a twat, I don't know him. But I support the right of people to peacefully protest and for people to walk in the street. Protesters are kept apart by police all the time.

Good way to completely kill professional rugby in Scotland and Wales both male and female. More money to the already wealthier unions of France and England.

2k women play the game in Ireland. All the money in the world isn't going to bridge the gap with England where I've read numbers at about 50k.

How many girls could be tempted by the cash being offered to that one-too-many Barrett that's being brought over? How many women's coaches?

Seems to be the same people moaning about not giving Georgia the chance to be hammered in the men's 6N that think taking a hammering from the England ladies is such a bad thing.

Scary to think England are doing this without Sarah Bern as well. I think if I was someone at the RFU, I'd enter 2 RFU owned sides into the Women's Premier XVs. No home ground for either, but both based out of Pennyhill Park. One side would be the England Under 23S Side and the other would be the U...
