This decision wouldn't have been taken easily. Good luck with appealing to people not to speculate precisely what led to the decision. We know from experience that anyone with an agenda will eagerly shovel this new fuel in their own rage boiler.

Replace "device hoarding" with "people living within their means" and this headline makes sense.

Hats off to Jake O'Kane for convincing himself he was "too edgy" for BBC NI when everyone else read it as him just being not as funny as the other comedians.

In the run up to the budget papers like the Telegraph publish articles like this. It's presented as a factual analysis but the information has been supplied by a South African company whose business is helping millionaires relocate. It's little more than a free ad repurposed as misinformation.

I reported a video last week on Facebook of a fatal attack on a man. Amazingly it still meets their community standards. You wouldn't be allowed to show it on TV or in print. Why we allow social media companies to get away with things like this will never cease to amaze me.

This is farcical. Our Assembly uses public money to subsidise those who can afford North American holidays (21,000 from Belfast last year) while the same amount is knocked off NI's Block Grant every year. Surely the Assembly could be spending this money better.
