Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Again I'm not disputing China's actions or conduct here in your hypothetical example. I don't think your analogy is that accurate though as there wasn't an Act of Union between China and Hong Kong which formed a bigger state in the first place. It's a different situation tbh. Leaving that aside, I pointed out to Trigbhoy that Hong Kong is a part of the Chinese affairs of state seeing as it is a part of the territory of China. He was making out that Hong Kong had nothing to do with China. Obviously most people from democratic countries would make the argument that pro-democratic Hong Kong and it's citizens should have nothing to do with an authoritarian state but that's not the reality on the ground and it belongs to that state.

Yet another scandal with the vote for junior minister pay rises. Easiest opposition in a long time.

I didn't see the post until yesterday Trig mo chara. Whether we like it or not China is part of Hong Kong's affairs and vice versa. There's not much we can do about that and any resolution to this crisis will unfortunately have to involve the perpetrator that being the Chinese state.

When it was handed back over to an authoritarian state, something like this would probably be inevitable and China is in a strong enough position as a major global superpower to suffer any blow back from it. They should be treating their own territory and citizens better but it is what it is.

varadkar really really really hates people who don’t have a silver spoon stuck up their arse. Empathy free empty head.

Bit of a debacle in the Dail the other night about speaking time. The micro-parties perhaps seeing the practical difficulties of so many splits.

That tweet by Varadkar yesterday about "if you're white, male and middle class, Sinn Fein don't want you" was really awful
Trump-style race baiting sh*te Every so often Varadkar comes out with a horrible dog whistle like that I don't know what he thinks he's doing, especially as a person of colour, as it just plays into dangerous white male imagined victimhood narratives, which ironically he is often the target of himself Pathetic stuff |

It was truly bizarre, and he has received a huge backlash about it, rightly so.

The rise in support for SF continues to spook the Civil War parties and will no doubt provoke more ill-considered and intemperate outbursts of this ilk. I would regard FF as having more to lose going forward, FG are still benefiting at present from general approval of their handling of the pandemic. Few observers in the north think that the Dáil Éireann coalition is going to hold for the full term. It is already under strain and it's very early days. Micheal Martin could be the Taoiseach with the shortest ever reign, especially if he continues to be advised by the likes of Eoghan Harris.

Hilarious. I thought for a minute she was going to go the full Harry Maguire and start shrieking 'Do you know who I am ? ' Meanwhile I see Kenny Egan has resigned the FG whip on South Dublin County Council after breaching the Covid rules.

She was hanging anti face mask sh*te on the foot bridge in Kilmac on the n11, it looks like she was arrested for refusing to give the guards her name & address. Fair play to the guards
