Why is it Illegal to Burn a Koran But Fine for Pro-Hamas Protesters to Destroy a Union Flag? Mon Feb 24, 2025 15:21 | C.J. Strachan
Why is it illegal to burn a Koran but fine for pro-Hamas protesters to destroy a Union Flag? Why is one a "public order offence" and the other not? Because in two-tier Britain the one rule is that you can't upset Muslims.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6....about why our arse-lick government co-towed to the yankee invasion.
We 'kow-towed' to the US because it was regarded as a just war of liberation. We are obviously keen to have good relations with the US because so many US companies are based here.
The value of all shares fell dramatically last year so a 16% fall is normal. Investing in the markets gives a good return in the long run, far better than a fixed interest loan would.
the level of all shares did not fall dramatically last year. The Irish government pension fund appears to be based in "bigname" stock, and most of it appears to be quite unethical. Last year certainly saw a lot of unethical stock fall in value, but other stock and gilt edge securities fared quite well.
The Irish government are obviously not very good at speculative Capitalism.
probably ironic sein as he's probably against the principles of reduce reuse recycle..
Here's a man who believes absolutely everything bertie and mary o hearnia tell him and will enthusiastically repeat it in chinese whispers style until the newspeak is reduced to "FPD" is great"
"We 'kow-towed' to the US because it was regarded as a just war of liberation"
By whom? The Iraqis themselves (surely the only people whose opinions really matter) are giving the US a rough time in Iraq. They certainly are not behaving like they feel they have been "liberated" as you put it.
With an aging Irish population the IRL Gov. regard the future payouts of pensions as a 'timebomb'.
Handy solution to invest in agents of a premature death like the military, tobacco, alcohol, oil industries...
