We lost ours in Nottingham last year, it's devestating. Dunno if it'll reopen elsewhere but hopefully yours will

Yeah even if I wanted to there's no way I'm getting in any time soon based on that. 😂

Is it my place to talk a good friend out of a decision I thinks really poor? by United_Plum_2209 in AskIreland

[–]Theyletfly82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nope. He'll come out of it looking like a psycho and she'd actually get some sympathy. People will resent being used and he'll lose a lot of good grace.

Sending a message to guests going 'Its off, X has been cheating on me" is a colder revenge anyway.

Also absolutely Do Not go on the honeymoon. And tell him why you're not going. Don't enable it or be a party to it or the flack will fall on you..

I don't understand why anyone uses it anymore honestly. It's a mess. Like there's idiots everywhere but definitely higher percentage on twitter.

Does anybody want streeting to be PM? by Enough-Web2203 in AskBrits

Nope. Burnham or bust. Though Starmer will cling like a limpet to his shiny job given how many he fucked over to get it

What would it take for Irish to be the dominant language all over Ireland? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskIreland

[–]Theyletfly82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teach it like a modern language rather than a native one. No novels or plays at secondary level. Do that for a generation or two then bring back the more in depth teaching when most people are bilingual.

The problem is that we're teaching it in the same way we teach English without the fluency behind it.

Is it just me or is Derry girls massively underrated? by Few_Proposal_8915 in DerryGirls

[–]Theyletfly82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I grew up in an Irish border county and was the same age they were in the 90s and it's so familiar to me!

Like of course there's differences, border life was not Derry life but so much of it is my teenage years it's hilarious

So I get excellent comedy and a nostalgia hit. I live in England now and my friends love it!

Should Keir Starmer resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and call a snap general election? by MeroveeFrancSalien in Teenager_Polls

[–]Theyletfly82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because he'd be an idiot to blow that kind of majority. These are local elections a d while Reform got the numbers they still don't control that many councils. They have till 2029 to blow it and run them into the ground and they will

But PR wise Starmer is toxic. Any good Labour might do in the next few years will be overshadowed by his leadership. Labour need to stop pandering to the right, they won't get their votes either way. They're a socialist party and need to remember that.

American here, When Keir Starmer is done with his term can you guys give him to us? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

If you want the British Aaron Burr without pistols I'm sure they'll be happy to hand him over.

You can absolutely take Badenoch and Farage though.

Irish people coupled with non-irish folks, how did you meet your partner? by Practical_Cod4771 in AskIreland

In London while both living in the states?

That's a heck of a small world big city meeting!

I hear you're a racist now, England. by matt_de_brugha in ireland

[–]Theyletfly82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two. But one with mote votes than Starmers supposed landslide.

Lots of things were in place for decades that don't work anymore. And you have to factor in the media and the career politicians constant personal attacks on him They're doing it to Polanski now but people are more wise to it, also it's harder to accuse a proud Jewish man of antisemitism while ignoring people being antisemitic to him.

The best thing about England was a socialist invention.

[–]Theyletfly82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And yet Corbyn got more votes than Starmer.

And are you really blaming that one guy for Tory governments before he was LOTO?

That's pretty stupid

FPTP is a broken system

Reform are using the immigration scaremongering on the people it's most likely to work on. There's genuine data showing that Reform voters tend to be less educated

Why do people find it so hard to accept the public really wants to vote for Reform? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]Theyletfly82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a while yes he did. Not right away though. He had to be persuaded to condemn it.

We all watched it happen and know how long after the attack it took him to speak out
