offsite link Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Belfast city council in uproar

category antrim | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday February 04, 2004 13:56author by Belfast Report this post to the editors

Anti Racism motion causes sectarian division

Anti racism was the issue to bring about sectarian clashes at Belfast city council yesterday

An anti racism motion condemning racist attacks lead to uproar and sectarian clashes in Belfast city hall chambers last night.

In some of the most heated scenes seen in years in Belfast’s council chamber Nationalists and Unionists went at it tooth and nail at each others throats. It eventually got so intense that the Lord Mayor of Belfast had to adjourn the meeting. When it resumed a compromise motion condemning all racists’ attacks was put forward but the SDLP refused to withdraw the original motion which had linked loyalist paramilitaries to the recent attacks. So it went into uproar again

With the chamber now in pandemonium the meeting had to be called to an abrupt end with no motion passed and with each side of the divide shouting and accusing the other side as condoners of racism

What a lesson of sectarian division over the issue of an anti racism motion for political representatives to send society who had only just rallied against racism.
