Bloody Sunday inquiry.

[alas_a_llama]

So, I've added a few people to my flist who I really should've added a while ago: Mostly people (or fic journals) which have already friended me and who, since I know them, I've been meaning to friend back for a while

Later, Bernadette Devlin, a Northern Irish MP who had been present at the shooting, was refused her right to talk to Parliament about it (the rules hold that any MP who witnessed an incident under discussion has the right to speak to Parliament on the subject). She would later be suspended from Parliament after punching Reginald Maudling, the Home Secretary, after he stated that the British Army fired in self-defence.

That's kind of terrible, but man, this woman is clearly fucking awesome.

She was pretty awesome, from what I can hear, yeah. Youngest woman to ever be elected to Parliament, was the spokesperson for hunger strike prisoners, survived an assassination attempt, and stuff like that.

A small part of me can't help thinking that politics would be much better if more people got punched when they said stupid things. Unfortunately, in the real world that just leads to punching-based hierarchies which are not a good idea at all.

...Sometimes I am deeply bewildered by my own icon choices. Happy beads... comment about the place of face-punching in politics... I'm not seeing the connection here, unless they are beady little sadomasochists.

Would that be a pugilicracy?

[if_inconvenient]

...Yes. Yes it would. <3

Have I shown you this thing?

[alas_a_llama]

You have not, I think.

[if_inconvenient]

well, either way, there you go! It is a fic. A really bizarre fic. XD

[if_inconvenient]

Apparently I have, but I haven't sent you the latest version!

*remedies this*

[alas_a_llama]

I have read! Is good. Sherlock and Tony make for adorkable not!brothers.

[lienne]

They totally do. *ruffles their hair*

[alas_a_llama]

Oh, man. That's actually given me an idea for something now. I'LL SAY MORE LATER for now I must depart.

[lienne]

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THIS.

See you! ♥

[alas_a_llama]

I return! I will speak of this idea to you through the ~power of IM~, if that's possible.
