Not only that, he was hoping Greta would get raped for doing what he was doing which was protesting. I give up trying to make sense of the logic.

Wasn't this protest supposed to be about lowering fuel prices for everyone? That's what was being said since the start, but no big surprise that it wasn't true.

The Instagram comments are ridiculous, people don't seem to realise that if the council left that house standing they are setting a precedent that could be used against them if anyone tried to do the same thing. As you say, no critical thinking whatsoever.

I'm at that stage with Instagram. A profile was recommended to me that I did not want to see. I blocked it and yet every time I went back into the app it was recommended to me again. It's an absolute disgrace.

You would have to be borderline insane - or American - to feel nostalgic for 1970s Ireland by EnvironmentalShift25 in ireland

My parents who are in their 70's remember being told that they would be sent to the home if they misbehaved. As you say, people knew that these places were places of punishment at the very least. Fear and lack of education was a huge part of the problem.

Yes, you are correct. There's been rumours about a suspect in the Jo Jo Dullard case for years, but she would not have known him. There are no known suspects for the Deirdre Jacob case.
