Still not enough of course, but so much better....but why any women would vote for a party that does not represent their interests at all - if you are not there you cannot be heard - makes my mind boggle
You've come a long way, baby...uh, wait....

Fucking hell. Are these eejits serious? How will the nationalists look at this as anything but an act of aggression by the mainland? As an NI native who has been away for a long time, this is making me very upset. I am a child of the 70's from East Belfast. I grew up in the worst of the troubles. My earliest memory is watching out the back of a No.7 bus as Woolworth's got blown up in the Town Centre. They can't put the army in so they are going to put the police in instead? WOW.
I would also like to point out that the PSNI all have guns (unlike everywhere else in the UK) for a reason. If things go tits up they are sending English police into a fire fight with a celery stick..... FUCKING HELL.
Police reinforcements for Northern Ireland in case of no-deal Brexit
Almost 1,000 police officers from England and Scotland are to begin training for deployment in Northern Ireland in case of disorder from a no-deal Brexit, the Guardian has learned.
The plans were put in place after Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) chiefs asked for reinforcements to deal with any trouble that arises from a hard border. The training for officers from English forces and Police Scotland is expected to begin this month.

Another one bites the dust?
Even if this charge has nothing to do with Trump I am pretty sure that he will trade like a trading mans trading things about Trump to make this all go away!
Former Trump Tax Attorney Busted on Federal Extortion Charges
The attorney hired by President Donald Trump to challenge his Chicago tax assessments was slapped with federal charges Thursday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Federal agents raided Ed Burke’s government office and personal business office in the last two months.
It was unclear at the time if the federal investigation was regarding the president’s finances or something outside of Burke’s work for Trump. Burke did tax-related work for the Trump Organization for the past twelve years before the two parties severed the relationship earlier this year.

Perfectly this.
''...I'm not here to be likeable. I'm here to fix this sh*t."
https://twitter.com/AndreaChalupa/status/1080699322054967296Every single woman running for president in 2020 should announce by saying: "My name is [@KamalaHarris/@SenWarren/@amyklobuchar], and I'm not here to be likable. I'm here to fix this sh*t."
Perfectly this.
