The BBC will go after any challenge to the status quo from any source.
They did it with Scottish Independence. They did it with Brexit. They did it with particular gusto to take down Jeremy Corbyn.

Free secondary education was a big deal.
The right to buy was a big deal.
Building the Channel Tunnel was a big deal.
Introducing a national minimum wage was a big deal.
The Good Friday Agreement was a big deal.
This is not a big deal.
It's buses.

This one is a big deal, in my view. Potentially marks an end to Thatcher-era deregulation of the buses across England. And it's the law as of last night: bylinetimes.com/2025/10/28/a...

When this goes wrong, which it's sure to, it's going to be absolutely horrendous.

Presidential elections. Absolutely always a hoot. No exceptions.

Turns out she's the least worst option. The other 2 are even worse.
This is absolutely insane stuff. Utterly delusional and not a credible person to be considered for the office of Uachtarán na hÉireann.
If she actually believes this what other mad notions does she have?

It’s honestly mental that someone who is running to be President doesn’t think that country should have an army at all - “we don't need an army we're an independent, neutral, sovereign country”

Fair play to producers for setting the hardest challenge of all. Getting a 67 year old Irish man to show affection physically.

Somewhat ironic given AI is typically about as factually accurate as a primary school pupil.
Much like schoolchildren it shouldn't be trusted for much beyond drawing pictures when the quality of the art isn't terribly important.

The question in this case was just what day do the kids go back to school but we are dealing with large swathes of the population who don't understand what an AI generated search result/overview is and search engines presenting this fiction as if it is fact. 😬 2/3
