The Irish were banned from pubs with signs like this: No Dogs No Blacks No Irish

Arrrrr yes, that old chestnut. Strange how no Brits can claim to have ever have seen such a sign but you won’t find a Mick who hasn’t. There are places which refused Irish and for good cause, too many were a pain in the arse, drunken trouble causers. However, since the craze for tracing family history hit the country, a few million have had access to the government’s census forms and tens of thousands are amazed to find out just how many of their ancestors had Irish lodgers in their house. Around seven years ago, I was in London to visit the Royal Albert Hall and saviour a little bit of Ludwig Van. The night before we were in a hotel and called into the local pub, where I found myself accosted by a Mick with a few too many Guinness in him. Guess what he told me? Yep, he’d personally suffered the no Blacks no Irish treatment, in this day and age, when a sign like that would get you in court followed by jail.

Speaking of the Irish, Sinn Fein is now a contender after Gerry Adams won a lawsuit against the BBC. It now seems as if Republicanism with Adams as president is now a possibility to unite the "old sod" under the Ireland for the Irish banner. Ironic the British, as personified by the BBC, may give the Irish their next head of state.

The next Irish General Election is not due for another four years so things can obviously change, but current polling shows the three main parties bumping around 20%-22% each, no clear winner at the moment.

Adams will be 80 then, but that's about par for a politician over here. BTW, Adams claims he was never a member of the I.R.A. Imagine that???

No response on the Boeing crash yet. Me? I think Boeing are in deep trouble. They were before this incident and no matter what the results of the inquiry they will still stay on the slippery slope. They got in a new managing director on 6 million a year and he then upped it to 30 because he had the power to do so.

The Indians are investigating data on the black boxes for the reasons for the crash. Boeing has been replaced in sales by Airbus for several years now. It didn't help Boeing to have doors fall off of brand-new planes while inflight. Everyone works better & harder with a nice raise, Major, it is part of the Art of the Deal.

If Trump wants the world to buy American then you ought to be selling planes that don't crash as often as Boeings do.

2008-2025 Researchers compiling evidence have determined that during this time period 114 people died in gym accidents while only 1 person died while eating a donut. Conclusion: Make the correct life decisions.

Boeing has been going backwards for years. The Dreamliner which crashed does have an excellent record but maintenance is in the eye of the beholder and if companies cut corners, BOOM. You can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink, or maintain an aircraft correctly. Maybe Trump should roll his sleeves up, buy a set of spanners and in between running the nation, put an hour or two working on planes Mark.

I doubt if Trump would know what to do with a spanner.

Wether you like it or not it’s the US which shoulders the burden of keeping this world from nuclear destruction because who else can do it? Russia? China? Just forget Trump’s annoying speech repetitions and characteristics, he’s there to do a job and so far he’s achieving that. Really, truthfully, are you sorry Harris didn’t beat him? You would be so terminally naive to think she would have made a better president? I am just grateful he isn’t as petty minded, juvenile, naive, vindictive and paranoid as his detractors are.

For 40 years the Mullah's have been shouting "Death to America" "Death to Israel." Trump told them no nuclear weapons so let's wait & see how effective these bombings actually were. In any regard, the raid was a bold & decisive move. On the other side, all Americans are now targets according to Iranian T.V.

In the early U.S. it was common for young boys to wear dresses until they got their first haircut, usually around the age of 6. It was a rite of passage called "breeching."

Some alphabet person is sure to draw the conclusion that every six-year old's first time in the barber's chair screaming his head off is proof positive that he wants to be a girl.

King Charles III has invited President Trump over for tea & crumpets. This will be Trump's second invitation & a first for a sitting U.S. president. Could be the beginning of a big, beautiful, Bromance. Or perhaps the king will encourage Trump to counsel Starmer.

I only hope Starmer has his adult nappy on as Trump will make him shit himself. There are certain absolute opposites…. Hot- cold, high low, big-small, Trump - Starmer. Can’t wait
