We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

Great thread, also debunks some unionist myths around a unified Ireland
Thank you Steve, the respect is mutual & as the original peer reviewed research says, other analyses are possible. However this is why I stand by my original analysis. I have read the work you mention. Every serious economist accepts the basic figures I use. ... 1/11

And we ended up with an 18 year old rookie on loan from Chelsea who is injured and missing the first 2 months of the season😂😂
Another class piece of business from the Celtic board🙌🏽
🗣️ "I tried everything possible to go back. It felt like there wasn’t much intention from their end.
"Do I hope I’ll be able to play for #CelticFC again? Yes. The story isn’t finished yet."

Took this on Sunday, a wee old woman just out of Mass and her carer said she asked to be at the front. At the time we were all told they were getting riot gear on, they were going to beat us off the road, there she was not fit to walk at the front line. Her scarf read grá-love 🇮🇪

Protestants are brothers and sisters in Christ. Orangemen are degenerate scumbags that should be hunted wherever they show their bigoted faces in civilised society.
That ends today's TED Talk.

That number of wire transfers may pass the threshold of significance and even rule out "chance".

This march was designed to spread tensions and hatred, and to intimidate the community and families who live there.
Scotland should not be providing policing resources for sectarian events like this that are called to inflame tensions.
ALT The National. Questions over Police Scotland officers sent to Orange Order walk. Scottish Greens are seeking clarity over the role of Police Scotland officers and demanding a review of the agreement that enabled their deployment.

Imagine a British police service laying siege for hours on end to a small Jewish or Black community in order to force through a Far Right parade.
It is inconceivable, yet the PSNI Chief Constable is continuing to do precisely that to a minority Catholic community in Portadown.

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

For context and scale: This is the first blockage police will have to clear on Garvaghy Road.
There are four more just like it.
In between these, cars are blocking the road.
There are elected politicians also in the crowd; police aren't in any rush to come to a decision @beltel
