Ireland is the 2nd most peaceful country in the world, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace. Only Iceland is rated as a more peaceful nation in their 2024 Global Peace Index. 🇮🇪😇 visionofhumanity.org/maps/#/

I lost it when I heard they made the RNLI pay for their lifeboat ramps, I just do not believe anyone could be that callous, tell me it was not true
Of greater policy significance is the expectation that financially challenged public services pay ‘market rates’ rent for NHS health centres and hospital premises owned by private companies, PFI and LIFT schemes across England. The NHS should not be treated as a business in the marketplace. The NHS should own its new and refurbished hospital facilities and community health centres paid for from public funding and delivering best value for public money. inews.co.uk/news/nhs-trust-k…

O God and Heavenly Father, Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

Sir James Dyson owns 36,000 acres of farmland in the UK through his farming business. He's a tax-dodging parasite. Here are a few more... #r4today

Is he the multi-billionaire James Dyson who bought estates to become one of Britain’s biggest landowners? The same flag-waving Dyson who backed Brexit then moved his HQ from Wiltshire to Singapore? I do believe he is.

Whatever your views on the Royal Family, we can surely all agree that they shouldn’t be profiting from our NHS.
The Royals make millions in profit each year, but this has always been shrouded in secrecy, until now. A joint @C4Dispatches and @thetimes investigation reveals that the King and Prince William are receiving public money through leasing property to public services like the NHS.

We've reported before on the "Matrix Freedom" group, which has made a business out of the "sovereign citizen" conspiracy theory. Now they are promising people £500,000 of "currency creation" for the low, low, price of £2,000. It's hard to imagine a more blatant fraud. Question is: who's going to close it down?

Samhain 🍁🔥🍂 ‘Sing a song
for the mistress
of the bones the player
on the black keys
the darker harmonies light jig
of shoe buckles
on a coffin lid         🍂 Harsh glint
of the wrecker’s lantern
on a jagged cliff…’ 1/
