She finished the main set and about 100 people, in this all seated venue, rushed the stage. Never seen anything like it at the Waterfront.
Then my gf said there was a load of Americans who'd come over to see it and that explains it. No way 100 Belfast people are running up to stage like that lol
Brilliant
It was a shadow
I thought the support guy just invited us all to hang out at the Merchant after the gig. Gf, showing off with her hearing aids informed me he said 'merch stand' 😂
There are loads of empty seats here and Belfast needs to hang its head in shame.

If I run a daycare centre and I announce the hiring of a new staff member before police checks are finished and that person harms a child I am 100% responsible, regardless of what I knew.
End of story.
He appears to have forced it through and announced it before vetting was finished.
GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.
Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?
How likely does that sound? 🤷♀️
Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'
Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

This going well for you, lads?
For a couple of years under Laura Webster's editorialship The National moved from a cybernat appeasement machine to a pretty good paper.
This year it has hired no-name cybernats as "polling experts", brought in red-brown collectives as columnists, and now has transphobic ads on its front page.
The number of people saying they've cancelled their memberships over this transphobic ad you have to wonder how long it takes until the amount ISP paid for it becomes a net-negative for the paper.
Losing them respect and money.
Isabel lives in Dubai. Do you think she can speak Arabic?

No idea if that is true about the burgers, but it's true about AI
Alt text - it's a load of burgers with the top bun slightly askew, the reasoning given is to avoid the 'American showroom' look and to show people thta the burgers were made by real people
This made me think of AI 'writing'.
Typos are your friend these days, and I've been training my whole life for this!
Today’s The Times Scotland front page with the top story “Cherry: SNP made me ashamed so I quit party”
Hey the Times, I quit a political party over trans issues and have a book to promote, can I have a front page spread?
Oh, that’s only reserved for transphobes and not trans people? Never mind.
Happy birthday!
Here's the tombstone of the last one.
It has fewer paid members than people who ran it 🤷🏼♀️
Also it's very, very dead because no-one wanted or needed it.
For some reason, transgender medicine and surgeries are the ONLY medical interventions for which the public demands a perfect 0% regret rate.
Look up the regret rate for heart surgery some time.
It's A LOT higher than that for any gender affirming treatment.

I love how spending years making a community with welcoming/affirming friends in Glasgow is cast 'indoctrination' and 'social contagion', but starting a detransition after watching TikTik videos isn't.
These people always tell on themselves.
One person who detransitions is more important to the UK media and politicians than 10,000 happily transitioned trans people.
“I’m a walking ad for what’s wrong about knee surgery dogma”
(The regret rate for transition is at least an order of magnitude lower than for most major surgeries).
