Fascism = Colonialism*

There’s a certain tone of voice [like Boris Johnson, Rees-Mogg & Farage] that makes the hairs on Irish people’s necks stand up. We instantly associate it with colonial untrustworthiness.

Here ‘Rah’ is another name for IRA. You can’t imagine how much Farage is despised here.

We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #beakful

Interesting backstory - I threw one chip, and it wasn't convinced. After the third, it hopped down very cautiously, but didn't seize one, it collected *all three* then left 🤣
