Why has UUP MLA Tom Elliott reported Fermanagh Council to the Equality Commission?

“Members of the public have indicated that while they do not want to have [the] Irish language on the Council vehicles, if that is to happen then there should be equality by also having other languages, including Ulster Scots. I also have a complaint from a member of the Polish Community living in Fermanagh who is complaining that there is no equality in the policy for him as he has a very limited knowledge of English and no knowledge of Irish.”

 

Irish Graphics On Council Vehicles Raise Concerns (Rodney Edwards, Impartial Reporter)

In Britain old Leveson gave,
Out when newspapers would misbehave,
There’s no need for that here,
As it fast becomes clear,
That our papers will dig their own grave.

A rare weather phenomenon filmed on Croagh Patrick in Co Mayo. A combination of low cloud and a low sun create the necessary conditions for the event to occur.

 

Fair enough.

Important statistical research from Kevin Dutton’s book The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success.

Most of the professions on the right require human connection, dealing with feelings and most of them don’t offer much power. Psychopaths, by their very nature, would not be drawn to or very good at these things.
On the other hand, most of the roles on the left do offer power and many require an ability to make objective, clinical decisions divorced from feelings. Psychopaths would be drawn to these roles and thrive there.

Which professions have the most psychopaths? The fewest? (Eric Barker, Barking Up The Wrong Tree)
