"it has been alleged by a purported eye-witness" 

And then this:

"Further update: The TUI flight last week from Beirut to Dublin is purported to have been returning soldiers."



Not to mention, the entire story is from 2020, you absolute goon.

Get ta fuck!

I know... 

But all those little blue tents dotted around our cities, towns and villages will paint a different story.
Who's living in those..?
I took my Mrs on a walk out to one of the local lakes in my home town (pop. 6000) and we happened across an encampment of 4 tents in amongst the adjacent forest. I got talking to one of the men and he said he's hoping to get sorted for accommodation in February. Imagine being handed a tent and being told "We'll get you somewhere by the end of winter. Please don't die of hypothermia in the meantime"....
Absolute bolloxology. The town is crawling with Roma, Middle Eastern and Africans though. All housed too...
How are Syrians still flooding into Europe? The war ended 3 years ago . Shouldn't they be rebuilding their own country..?

Tony Blair got a Knighthood? Mr 'I can't apologise for getting rid of Saddam' slimy bastard. They'll give one to anyone these days if that contemptible reptile gets one.

As a historian I know slyly remarked, "Historically, most knights were probably war criminals, so don't really see the issue."

Probably did the auld butchery afterwards though. Henry XIII was by all accounts a pious, gentle idealist upon getting the garter. Didn't last, of course.

This other prick gets it after the fact!

Regarding the immigration situation, I'm not a fan, obviously, but I'd do the exact same thing if I were in their shoes, without a minutes hesitation.

I think he was probably referring to the Crusades.

Ah lads 😂

Jews being good with money, whether it's true or not, always struck me as one of the less harmful stereotypes.

I heard a feminist once object to the expression 'Asian privilege' whilst acknowledging their greater wealth, less frequent victimhood, best educated status in the US, as they suffer from a different kind of prejudice. 😂😂

'Hey you, Mr Successful, fuck you'!

Feminism: like making a sammich for your husband is more enslaving than devoting 50 hours of your life per week to your boss/company.
You go giiiirrrls...

And now, of course, Stoo-art is backpedalling (update in above link). Claiming it was a bit of craic with the lads, it's very clearly not. Twat.

Apparently the guy who oversaw the design of the goblins for the film is Jewish.

Although, seriously Kev?

For someone who's into history, you really should know why this is a very ignorant thing to say. This stereotype specifically was the linchpin of Ford's antisemitism, of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, of Hitler's antisemitism in Mein Kampf, back to Shylock and other literary portrayals. It was literally used to justify the very worst atrocities committed against them in modern history.

[Caomhaoin]

More accurately, they were just exiled or killed to avoid paying them back (to put it unscholarly). Kings of England and Spain did in the Middle Ages and made no bones about it.

The same stereotype/joke, I mean the tightarse (more often than not a word flung around by the financially irresponsible)one, is used (at least by older generations at home) about the Scots or here with the Catalans. The Scottish one is probably based on assumed traits of Calvinists, and the Catalans on jealousy from less traditionally prosperous  parts of Spain. Either way, it's a covetous mans slur, and I'd certainly prefer it as our national sneer instead of a drunken simian or as Frank Zappa looking carbombers.

I don't mean the historical reasons they generally took up the professions they did, and the consequences of such that you have correctly listed above.
