Irish Politics Thread

I just think 1970s everytime i hear N.Ireland. a place time forgot

Catch a grip of yourself ffs. 

I just read about that, how does the Irish Times decide what articles to print? can anybody randomly send an article into them in the hope that they might print it? Whats the process involved?

I think so. I know people who have sent in articles on an unsolicited basis that have been published. But these are usually extremely topical, bespoke to a certain segment of the newspaper, have been peer reviewed, and are people with existing journalistic or professional standing.

I suspect the IT gets flooded with unsolicited drivel that wouldn't even make the first pass for inclusion in the letters section, let alone be given standalone column inches. I cant remember which UK periodical it was, but they had very limiting detailed standards for independent/unsolicited subscriptions, and I recall them clearly stating that articles offering a response to something Brendan O'Neill or Katie Hopkins said, would basically go in the bin.

One of a number of people who should avoid trying to give people lessons on morality.

I wouldn't necessarily say its a morality issue, tbh.
