That wee lad knows nothing of the sort. He's grown up in relative peace and prosperity, glorifying the single most murderous killing machine of the entire Troubles through social conditioning and the easy route of hating "the other side" for his circumstances.

Jane Austen's a novelist; Shakespeare's a dramatic poet. You don't have to speak English to do Austen, as you could read her novels in translation; but if you make an English-language film featuring Shakespeare, it's important to understand the lines because every word matters,

Ang Lee made what many consider *the* best Jane Austen adaptation (with Emma Thompson’s help) without fully understanding the language. Zhao collaborated with O’Farrell, Mescal, and Buckley to craft a story that’s not even primarily about Shakespeare/Hamlet. Please be serious.

Let's get something crystal clear: Old Firm pitch invasions have a rich history of goading opposition fans into open confrontation on the park and everyone, on both sides, who were on the pitch yesterday were well aware of the consequences of their actions. #Celtic #Rangers

Let’s get something absolutely crystal clear with zero bias whatsoever. Football fans have been running onto the pitch after last-minute winners or huge moments for generations. It happens because of pure excitement and emotion. The key thing is always how people conduct

Yesterday I had a go at @TEnglishSport for his selective condemnation of the fans' behaviour at the beginning of the cup tie at Ibrox. Today I read this and have to say, it's a pretty fair summary of the day. #Rangers #Celtic https://t.co/u5d3HKvla9

Appalling scenes at Ibrox. Celtic players have been attacked by Rangers fans who have invaded the pitch. Mercifully, police and stewards have restored order.

You are a young person interested in politics. You look at all the local parties and out of all of them pick *Sinn Fein*. You get elected and then say this live with a camera running. After the IRA murdered 1,800 people and let off the vast majority of the 16,000 bombs during

To be clear, I think you *can* joke about Tourette syndrome. I've laughed at Tourettes jokes before. Even the initial premise of this sketch, where celebrities lie about having Tourettes in order to excuse their bad behavior can be funny if done well. But the line "Since it’s

Wars are only ever resolved through negotiation. It’s tragic that calm heads did not prevail in the US when the Omani Foreign Minister said, just hours before the bombing started, that a peace deal was within reach. And now hotheads in Iran think it’s a good idea to bomb Oman.

This is really causing a cultural schism between the US and UK. To them, the Bad Word is just such an unforgivable sin. To us, a bunch of rich and famous people being a dick to a disabled man is actually far worse.
