oh bloody hell so it is! wow I hate it when that happens. I still feel like the mid 90s was at most 10 years ago.

The mid 00s is the scary one for me. Feels like yesterday then you realise there are literal adults alive today who can barely remember parts of it because they were toddlers. There are people eligible to vote who hadn't started primary school on the day Tony Blair resigned as prime minister.

My brief foray into teaching had me teaching 9/11 to children who weren't alive when it happened. Was when it was over me, I reckon.

I remember reading something about this before. The mothers and baby homes story coming from Ireland. 9,000 dead children, 15% of the kids that were in these places. 

I don't know how a country deals with something as bad as that. I thought the statement from Micheál Martin was pretty good. I'm now reading that the victims aren't happy, they say it's not good enough.  

The comments here are quite hard hitting.

Saying the whole of society has to take the blame is deflecting from FF, FG and the Roman Catholic Church.

Pleased to see that LyleTaylor is refusing to ‘take the knee’ on  the grounds that BLM is a nasty organisation.

He’ll be overjoyed to have all the right wing nutjobs like Farage rimming him on Twitter I suppose, despite him being absolutely against white supremacy and actually very much in favour of the Black Lives Matter cause, though.

Lads... you can't expect us to come up with a strategy to feed poor children without using it as an excuse to funnel huge amounts of public cash into our wives cousins private company.

Lol, c'mon.

Tory donor and beneficiary of this ripoff scheme Paul Walsh dislikes this.

I genuinely thought UKIP disbanded. 

I'm trying to keep track but do we have UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform party on the go at the moment? 

What ever happened to the TIG lot whilst I'm curious?

They all work in as  consultants for various private sector institutions now.
