I'm off work sick, going home would likely involve going outside so I could come back in again, and its cold out there...

The N9/N10 got quite a lot of funding off the EU yes... as did the N8 to Cork We're now replacing the entire thing (N8/N9 with a Kilkenny spur to replace the N10) with motorways, entirely self-funded. The EU generally wouldn't fund motorway replacements, just improvements... Most of the M8 is...

There hasn't been a scheme since the early 2000s with EU funding - and it always stated "part-funded". The big signs since then have "Funded by the National Development Plan" on them. Same sign format, but no 12-stars and no EU mention. Any structural funding ceased in 2003, as in projects had...

Sinn Fein are trying to be lovely-dovey, accepting-to-all in the Republic now. Despite the fact that ten years ago they were screaming blue murder about the President going to a service in a Protestant church... Not sure of the specific area you're referring to there but I'd well believe it.

A small proportion of our decent roads were partially funded with EU structrual funds. The motorway network was on the whole not - although this was the fault of the planning authorities as construction was delayed for so long funding wasn't available. Sounds familiar doesn't it.... No. The...

How about the UVF/UFF/LVF filth that deliberately targeted Irish citizens and defense forces? Car bombs outside pubs and on shopping streets aren't military targets are they? Let alone the fact they weren't even in NI. Said IRA filth also didn't have much of a problem killing Irish defense...

Yes, because they're finally rebuilding the bombed out buildings they couldn't afford to until recently... pity the nice new office buildings have no companies in them. Try going out of the city. Single carriageway road to the second city. No work anywhere. Closed shops abound. Horrific quality...

??? You're the one without enough education to use the correct terms for somewhere. You're welcome to keep Northern Ireland by the way, about 80% of the people are vile bigots - both sides, its extremely poor, its infrastructure is crumbling after 30 years of neglect (it appears the Republic...

No, 2/3rds of it is in the United Kingdom, but not British - it would need to move islands for that to be the case. 1/3rd of it is in an entirely separate sovereign state, and has been since 1921. Care to use a less inaccurate term for it in future? "Northern Ireland", or "Hideous tax money...

So why do you have the flag of somewhere that isn't on the island of Britain as your avatar?

I'm not in NI. Clearly we're less concerned with ballot stuffing here... seeing as we still have a serious problem of people voting in two locations (Fianna Fail is reknowned for bussing people from the country who live in Dublin back home so they can vote... leaving out the 'again' bit).

I have never in my life had a numbered ballot paper... do they have them in the UK?

SF's support is falling, they lost seats at the last election, and their economic policies are known to be dreamland - they'll likely lose more at the local and European elections.

Teachers here aren't meant to publically hold any political party memberships. BUT: The head of the opposition is a teacher on a (very bloody long) career break, as one of my local TDs, and the principal of my first secondary school is an opposition councillor. Its not enforced in the slighest.

Irrelevant. As holders of the data, the BNP were responsible for ensuring it was secure. An Excel spreadsheet is not secure, end of - 'password protection' on one is about as effective as an open padlock. Unencrypted data is not secure.

The fact that it was in a state where it could be stolen is negligent also.

Encrypt data, like anyone with an ounce of technical sense does This was stored unencrypted, and most likely in a f***ing SPREADSHEET application. That is wilffully negligent and would not be seen as a miscarriage of justice.

The structure of the data and the "was..." references to what appear to be line numbers suggest that they store their member list in an Excel file. Oh dear oh dear oh dear....

its not particulary hard to find it, blog search gives it in the first page of results...
