An Irish Bus Burning

So, the Irish burned a bus in Belfast this week.

I’m not at all clear on the purpose of this act. As far as I’m able to gather, the Irish are just generally rowdy and rebellious, and they’ve become agitated.

The official explanation is that it’s something to do with Brexit and the hard border.

Anyway, I just thought you should see the picture of that burned bus.

I’ve read several news articles and commentary pieces on riots happening in Northern Ireland right now.

I frankly just don’t have any commentary on it, because it isn’t clear what is going on.

I guess my commentary would be: it’s not just you – things are getting crazier out there.
