What’s going on in Northern Ireland?

Rioters throw petrol bombs at police during second day of Ballymena riots

A water cannon and less-than-lethal rounds were fired at some of the crowds.

metro.co.uk

Well it is the start of the summer and the North like a bit of rioting... Bit of a pastime up there... They see police cars and they just throw things at it, they have been doing that for over 50 years... Both sides...

Ballymena is a loyalist town (this is as a backdrop).... Working class area mainly...

The background is that two 14 year boys was arrested for an sexual assault...

"Disturbances erupted on Monday night – when 15 officers were injured – after a vigil for a teenage girl allegedly sexually assaulted by two 14-year-old boys. The boys had appeared in court earlier that day charged with attempted rape, where a Romanian interpreter read them the charges."

The use of the interpreter doesn't tell us if they are Romanian or Romanian gypsy.. We don't know if the victim is Romanian?

BTW, Romania is a member of EU and had an election which they narrowing voted against a Right Wing candidate. This was meant to be racially motivated, Romanains are generally white. Romanian Gypsies(Roma) are considered a different race. The Roma culture has very young marriages and sex with underage minors..

Outrage in Spain after child rape verdicts consider 'cultural context'

The courts ruled that the assaults were justified by the norms of the Romani community.

This isn't a Right or Left wing thing... There are various traveller cultures around Europe, the ROMA is one of the more insular and oppressive. There are claims they are conservative and this is there culture, no one is buying that generally.

The Battle of Britain. What they once were and I hope go back to being again.

I have my doubts.

Britain is a story about a nation that was duped into voting for Brexit. We then witnessed a complete mess.. Lies, mismanagement, fear mongering...

For the rest of the EU it was a lesson. We now know why we want to be in EU... EU popularity increased. UK showed that free trade and movement is a benefit to your country and people...

UK have for years now regretted their decision and seemed to be locked in to the downward spiral... Their GDP growth is lagging EU by about 1% a year, the trade restrictions alone causes this... Their seems to be very few upsides...

Their is a very important lesson here for US... There is no point getting tax cuts if the economy suffers..
I was told this a GOP Businessman who loved Clinton. Said he didn't mind paying a few percent extra if the economy issuing well..

‘Racist thuggery’: How a peaceful vigil in Ballymena turned into anti-immigration violence

The PSNI said yesterday’s vigil was ‘hijacked’ by people intent on causing violence.

Are the British people even aware that their government is dragging them toward a direct clash with Iran?

You’re out of touch. Woefully.

Our neighbors across the pond may be slowly catching up to us in the space race, but there’s one area we never thought we’d see parity — our teeth.

Countless famous Brits, like Austin Powers and even Prince Charles in that photo-album the dentist in The Simpsons showed Ralph to get him to brush more, have had terrible teeth, while we in America are known for our expensive orthodontics and sterling smiles.

But a new study casts doubt on American oral exceptionalism, making the case that Brits are actually missing fewer teeth than Americans and that the disparities between the teeth of the rich and poor are much more significant in the land of the free.

In fact, these new findings are just solidifying what is hardening into scientific consensus. The BBC has long objected to the popular perception of British teeth, cataloging the many reasons that they view it as unfair.




When they put it this way, the problem actually seems pretty serious. Dental hygiene seems like just another field in which the United States is falling behind other developed countries.

Americans Have Worse and Fewer Teeth Than British People

The dentistry jokes end now.

Teeth is a bizarre American myth and cliché. Why they think their plastic teeth are the best, God only knows.
