I’ve no issue with this sentence - 2yrs behind bars for rioting & criminal damage. Yet last week 2 men got just 3yrs for RAPING a vulnerable 19yr old girl & filming it. Our justice system has no consistency & our sentencing for sexual crimes is woeful

💔The body of an 11-year-old girl has been found near a cricket ground in Elmley Castle, Worcestershire. She was found just a few hours after being reported missing last night. Police are currently treating her death as "unexplained". Poor, poor little girl. Her poor family😢

Her name is Miya Deamer-Jones. Police said enquiries into her death are ongoing. Villagers spoke of their shock: "There aren't words to describe this." "It's every parent's worst nightmare" Sunflowers have been left in her memory on a nearby bench. God bless you Miya 🌻💔😢

It's not hatred of unionism, it's dismay at the fact sinister elements within unionism have brought our communities to each other's throats once again, and for what? This is bigger than garvaghy Rd. This is powerplay. They should be ashamed

I was brought up as a Prod in Ards. I am dismayed that an unelected extremist gobshite who likes to pontificate on top of a bin has tore the scar tissue off old deep wounds and has both sides here at each others throats all for the sake of his & DUP’s ‘culture war’ #garvaghy

Marie-Therese Murray protests on Garvaghy Rd. She holds a photo of her 12 yr-old son Darren, who was knocked down and killed 30 years ago after being chased by loyalists. She rarely speaks about her loss but felt she had to protest today for “next generation” @IrishTimes

Lidl has put peas in the beef and written High Protein on the front. The pea is hidden in a little black box, in a font you need a suspicious nature to read. It isn't a pea. It's the beige powder left after yellow split peas are milled and soaked in alkali. Vegan shakes are made from it. It tastes of a wet cupboard and it costs a fraction of mince. It's short of methionine. Beef isn't. So the 37g on the front is a bigger number doing a smaller job. The cow spent 2 years turning plants into beef. Lidl has put the plants back in. They took the fat out too. The flavour, the vitamins and the fullness left before the pea arrived. Food removed, crop added, and the word for that is High. Nobody in a gym has ever read past High. The reason isn't hidden. Lidl promised a quarter of its protein would be plant based by 2030. The meat-free aisle went grey. So the peas are going into the beef, where the customers are. In Holland the same mince is already 40% pea. Britain hasn't been told its number. Tesco printed Meat & Veg on the box in 2019. Dead in a year. Lidl moved the veg to the back. Buy the ugly 20% mince with one ingredient. The animal already ate the peas.

I just want to remind everyone that in 2024, police uncovered chat rooms in which men shared tips on how to commit rape. There were 70,000 members. Not a single man ever tried to notify law enforcement. Think about that the next time you want to say “not all men….”

The Garda said that both men are believed to have come to Ireland through the North about two years ago, and that the mother, two sisters, and father of the younger are all in Ireland as IPAS applicants, although their cases have been refused and are currently under appeal.

Just had the creepiest scam ever happen 20 minutes ago. I got a call from my wife telling me she forgot her wallet and needed the credit card to pay for her gas. Except my wife was at home with me, and drives a Tesla. Same voice, bit... off, weird cadence but 100% sounded just like her. If she wasn't there, and it wasn't about gas I would have fallen for it. I entertained it for awhile to get more out of it, I was so confused. Must be some sort of voice deepfake. The responses were too fast for ai, I think it was a voice filter. I wish I had thought to record it. The future is about to get fucked. Warn your loved ones, do verbal passwords with your kids. Bit taken aback
