A green map of the United States set against a black and white photo of a sky. Each state is labelled with the name and the percentage of the population that have Irish roots. Some of the proportions are very high, with Rhode Island at 22.1%, New Hampshire at 23.3%, and Masschusetts at 25.2%.

Whenever I see the 'Ireland is Full' mob in the news, I often think of this map. I think I took the photo at the Dunbrody Famine Ship Museum, years ago. There was a time when it was *our* people leaving their country in their masses, either fleeing a crisis or in search of a better life.

If I were about to go to war, I'd not fire all the experienced people at the top of various parts of the armed forces. Like, my military expertise is limited to teaching the Roman army but that seems not the thing to do.

What a piece of work

Classy stuff bud.

Am X post from Suella Braverman that reads: "The SAS has the support of the whole country against this shameless government of cowards and Sinn Fein sympathisers." She is quote tweeting a post from the telegraph that says, "New laws could see former soldiers hounded through courts over alleged crimes, say veterans."

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.
