pro-tip, when it asks for phone number, it pre-fills +44, but it only worked for my wife and I when change to just 077...

tosbourn, Folk of NI, what do you think it would take for the DUP to be the second largest Unionist party?
Even with what has happened this last while I’m sure they’re gonna be largely in the same position next general election.
I get it; I was brought up to believe a vote not for the DUP is a vote for Sinn Fein (any by extension, for bad things) and I know it’s the same for many from unionist backgrounds.
backpackandsnorkel, Belfast is one of the main attractions of Northern Ireland. There is so much to see that we created self-guided tours to see the highlights of Belfast in two days. #Belfast #NorthernIreland https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Northern-Ireland/Day15/

tosbourn, NI folk, you can get a LibrariesNI card for free online and get ebooks and audiobooks.
I’ve been using them for about a month and really enjoying it.
Decent catalog and unless the book is super popular, not long waits to loan out.

Do share, because this may not be news to you, but it was to me!
Wen, The Guardian view on the DUP’s future: Jeffrey Donaldson’s volatile legacy
Volatile🤫 even the Gruaniad can’t bare to tell the truth about Donaldson. A busted, potentially jailed flush.
tosbourn, Absolute scum.
DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson quits after sex offence charges https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-68686691
BBC fail to mention that it involves a child.
paulthenerd, @tosbourn Innocent until proven guilty.
It would be irresponsible journalism to publish details of an ongoing investigation.
tosbourn, @paulthenerd pretty sure the police released a statement with those as facts.
Nothing to do with innocence and everything to do with the specific alleged crime.

europesays, https://www.europesays.com/1086927/ MOT delays possible as hairline cracks found in 14 lifts. You know those delays we already have? Those will be delayed. Hundreds of thousands needed to get back to our delays. Shambles. #NorthernIreland #UnitedKingdom
ChrisMayLA6, Later this year the UK will introduce 'not for EU' labelling as part of the #WindsorFramework deal on #NorthernIreland.
The labels have already started to appear in some shops for some products, and the Food & Drink industry fears that such labelling will deter both customers & #investment in the UK's food/drink sector.
Recent headlines suggested customers took the view that this indicated sub-standard goods, whatever the actual quality....
Another #BrexitReality that was 'unpredicted'...
Wen, I will avoid anything labeled in that way given the opaque food standards improvements being touted.
peter, @ChrisMayLA6 @mirabilos Tesco's had the "Not for EU" labels on things for at least 6 months now - especially Eggs but I've seen it on other things.
As for making it look sub-standard, I'd agree - that was the first thing I thought when I first saw it.

GottaLaff, Michelle O’Neill, a lawmaker with Sinn Fein, a party once tied to the Irish Republican Army, now has #NorthernIreland’s top office. That was once unthinkable. “We mark a moment of equality and a moment of progress,” she said- NYT
Lazarou, @GottaLaff Obligatory
(Though this does mean the US will be hit by the Bell Riots soon and there'll be a nuclear war in the middle of the century but things improve after that)
sile, @GottaLaff Wow! Finally...interestingly, the Unionist Deputy First Minister is unelected, and was appointed, after failing to win her election!
