The case of Irish soldier Cathal Crotty, who beat a woman unconscious and boasted about it, was disturbing. That a judge fully suspended the sentence is a filthy stain on the judiciary. If the Defence Forces don’t fire him now, why would any woman join the forces?

The opposition party (His Majesty’s Opposition) in the UK was the Labour Party. 604 of 615 MPs were members of the parties in the Grand Coalition.
Mosley had been a Labour MP and minister. He formed the New Party and British Union of Fascists. He was not an MP when imprisoned.

RTÉ won’t be used to praise. If he keeps up with not interrupting guests and has guests who aren’t just RTÉ cross promotion, talking about interesting things, the show might recover.

To be assiduously fair, I have a bit of insight into this, at least in a rural club in Ireland. Club matches make no money, at all. You might pay a fiver to park, but you’re paying nothing to stand around the pitch.
Big matches might have a minuscule cost, but that’s to cover

Between Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Waitrose alone there are 242 supermarkets in London. That’s ignoring every independent store.
Other than supermarkets and restaurants, what type of food outlets are you expecting to find other than fast food?
