You're comparing the food chain to slavery?

But credit it to them, they have a modus operandi of being absurd, regularly getting the attention they seek and winding up people like Dunnem.

Anyway I’m off to beaten by a whisker for a tasty vegan sausage roll.
I think the staff team has been imported wholesale from Froth & Rind. Either that or a glitch in the matrix meaning the peak Walthamstow barista models are being reused in multiple cafes

If BBC said it was a mistake it was a mistake

A red-headed Irish family were shown in Aran jumpers outside a cottage where they "eat potatoes, bacon and cabbage every day" and they "do not like change or difference". The children "get told off if we mix with people with a different religion from ours as they would be a bad influence on us".

They are contrasted with a diverse family who love change and difference, enjoy curry, pizza and Asian food, and spend their time travelling abroad, frequenting art galleries. They also house swap with a family in a different country most years.

The metro elitist mindset revealed in all its glory.

You know the ones - where everyone already has their point of view, and is just looking for an opportunity to say it loudly at opponents, and neither side is ever going to be persuaded by the other (never mind actually try and understand their views).

The topic was about mass migration into Ireland, and that many in the studio were objecting to what they feel was a policy being imposed on them, without any democratic mandate. Judging by which comments received the most claps, I think it was fair to say that the vast majority of the studio audience was of the opinion that they were uneasy with the situation.

Then there were the usual pro-immigration lobbyists providing the counter argument as to why this was a good thing really, necessary even, and that the Irish should embrace it. There were even a few remarks that immigrants were just as Irish as those who could trace their lineage in Ireland back multiple generations.

But my favourite comment came from one of the woke element in the audience (yes, they had dyed their hair purple). It was essentially along the lines of mass immigration into Ireland being a consequence of colonialism. Said without shame. To an Irish audience.

Well, it cheered me up and made my Sunday morning.

Yeh just doesn't make sense there.

There is a village in Ireland somewhere with a population of about 187 - fair few elderly. And the government have installed/are fighting to install a 'refugee'/migrant centre there holding about 250+ mostly 20/30/40 year old men.

What is driving it
