How often to you hear woman taking care of their own kids referred to as ''babysitting"?

It might surprise you but kids don't just have mothers. Regardless of how much it seems to be made out that it's just about the mother.

Irish people and the UK is a funny one.

The prime example is of course with soccer. How many Irish people claim Celtic are an ''Irish'' team? A lot of Irish people are love to talk about history etc Yet how many Liverpool fans are in Ireland who happen to ignore the fact they were founded by a memeber of the Orange Order? I know it has little to do with them now but the whole argument with Celtic is because what they did for Irish people when they were founded etc

Why can companies like tiktok just get away with blatantly profiting from and destroying childrens and adults lives ? Answer: the EU administration is worthless or complicit. Also, why do we have to defer everything to the EU ? Answer: our leaders have no "balls". They are no use. I don't know why we elect them when they defer everything of any meaning to the EU. The only things they do at home is procrastinate until they can defer to the EU.

You can buy these on Ebay

Liverpool have a big following on the Shankill Road in Belfast.

So do Manchester United. Look how many Northern Ireland Protestants have lined out for them over the years.

The thing I hate most about Kneecap is the fact that they donated £7,000 to a Shankill youth project.

Oh so if someone on the Shankill Road likes something, we're not allowed to, is that it?

You can buy any old shite on eBay, proves nothing. And I'll bet that a lot more "southern catholics" have played for Man Utd than "northern protestants" - not that anyone with at least half a brain should care

If you want a united Ireland, then one day those disaffected Shankill youth won't be "somebody else's problem" any more

That's a load of bollocks

The EU has specific powers in specific areas, but only those areas. The areas where member states have agreed to share sovereignty. Everything else is up to the national governments same as it ever was.

I always find that the people who give out the most about the EU know the least about it.

Ok, will wait for EU and/or Ireland to do something about tiktok et al spreading poison. They would want to hurry up. They've been allowed spread it for years.

theres an element of truth to whats being said, we ve shafted ourselves in relation to the way we have designed our modern political institutions, including our eu institutions, it effectively means little or no accountability and power within our so called democratic institutions, little or no ability to implement policies that attempt to try to protect the people, yielding in the rise of the plutocratic entities, that are running riot!

The people who try to justify supporting a foreign team by saying "oh they're the Irish/catholic club in that city" are complete idiots.

Just admit that you support them because they were really good when you were younger, it's hardly a coincidence that the vast majority of people in Ireland over the age of 40 tend to support either Man Utd or Liverpool or that the vast majority of those who support Man City or Chelsea are in their 20's now.

Also I'm really fed up of being told by the media I have to like both Liverpool the club and Liverpool the city just because there were loads of Irish immigrants historically in the city, there are almost certainly even more in London or Birmingham but nobody tries to make a similar argument about that.There was another stupid article in the independent yesterday about this. I've nothing against Liverpool as a team or a city but continually trying to make people feel they should have some liking for a city/team is just tedious.
