There might be 50 defendants on any given day, but if there was one Traveller he was guaranteed to be one of the 5 or 6 case reports in the regional newspaper the following Wednesday. The same applied to Eastern Europeans, albeit to a lesser extent. If you were a Traveller or a foreigner you were getting named, even if there were many more cases that were more 'interesting' or newsworthy.

He finds a new partner and she already has children from a prev relationship and the have another child. And she ( wife no 1) finds a new man and he already has children from a prev relationship and then they also have children . So 5 sets of kids, alot of emotional baggage, alot of upheavel for the children, 5 sets of grandparents, very complicated child minding arrangements ....... assosciated with a lack of resilience in longerm relationships, multiple housing arrangements and lingering debt due to mortgages, squeezed house hold budgets due to maintainence payments going every which way.

Potholes and dangerous turns in rural areas are causing accidents and very little is being done to fix these roads.

Mostly though; The contempt of the older generation towards the Millenial generation. The fact that new couples and families can't afford **** all at the moment despite any real effort put in by themselves. the fact that young peopel can't get a job without a qualification, which costs a fortune to get, is next to impossible to compete alongside and often overlooked, under appreciated and underpaid by the already employed previous generation. I think it's interesting how the news can run stories about banking, car insurance and interesting statistics abut the leaving cert results and school stats, howver the youngest adults have no clue how to function with today's climate, and noone seems to care. Sorry for the rant but it does bug me. Might need to make my own post about this in a fresh topic in a few minutes, want to know opinions.

Im sure some will try point fingers and say well only the *insert witty vaguely insulting nickname* are guilty of doing it but its become more and more apparent that either side thinks their right to free speech overrules anyone that might diaagree with them.

I could be wrong, but I can't recall ever hearing (in recent times) anyone calling for silencing of somebody who was a rabid feminist/anti-Brexit/anti-Trump/pro-abortion etc.
