A little bit of politics folks`

I hear the row between UK and Ireland about returning refugees has turned nasty already.

Two refugees picked up by Garda having come across the border from Norn Iron were told they would be returned to Newry, but they're demanding to be sent to Ruanda instead.

I think you're spelling has been ruaned!

There is a region in Uganda called Buganda where they speak a language called Luganda. Slightly off topic but interesting. I don't think they drink Um Bongo

Nah, I've just been rwaned.

I'd be honoured to have been Ruaned.

I heard that Emma Little-Pengelly, (Deputy or Joint First Minister - whatever you want to call her) enjoyed seeing the Aurora Borealis a couple of nights ago.

She asked Michelle O'Neil if she had seen "The Northern Light"s, but apparently Michelle had only seen "The North of Lights"

Was Little Penguin at the Northern West 200?

I honestly tried today with an open mind to watch Armagh v Donegal. Maybe it wasn’t typical (?) but why anyone would even think of spending £300 odd million on a stadium for this boring nonsense ( it was a bit like watching end to end basketball, you score, we score) is beyond me. If anyone in Treasury was watching today, kiss any “GB money” goodbye ……if it was ever a thought.
Individual ball handling and kicking skills and penalty kick taking top notch mind you!

The fights are good because of the ball handling and kicking.

Not many who would allow their balls to be felt or kicked without doing something about it.

I guess this thread will be hot for the next six weeks.

Looks like a bad start for the Tories with Rishi Sunak not having the wit to come in out of the rain

First time in my life that I’ve not lived in a Tory safe seat.

Still don’t think I’ll bother….

Come on Justin. You have to vote to keep somebody out. It's the Ulster Way.

Not too many who can say they DO live in a Tory safe seat at the moment.

Jeremy *unt is supposedly in danger. Definitely worth staying up for that.
