FORGET THE SINGLE green man giving you the go ahead to cross the road, London is doubling up to celebrate Pride.
Around the streets of Trafalgar Square – where Pride will be held this weekend – around 50 sets of little pedestrian crossing people have been changed.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said that the decision was particularly tough given the tragedy in Orlando:
Our thoughts and prayers are of course still with the families and friends of the victims of the hideous recent attack in Orlando.
These new signals show that we stand shoulder to shoulder with them and display the tolerance and celebration of difference in our city.
Walking the walk.

Let all who voted FFFG rejoice in the long term damage ye have inflicted on yourselfs and others. Ye sneered Putin when he alternated between president and prime minister. What a wonderful well run country we live in, the last week before Christmas.
@fergusob: Sure, this power-sharing agreement is exactly like Putin’s Russia.
@Gerard McAuliffe: rotisserie taoiseach
@fergusob: Not enough spent on education obviously!
This shower need be gone, homeless in Ireland gone through the roof for irish people and die on the cold. We can’t blame Ukrainians or Refugees but the Government. In bed with builders and now Vulture Fund’s and anyone else who can purchase estates and apartment blocks. Bail out the banker’s n shareholder’s no problem but ordinary citizens suffer because no consequence for their mates and paymasters.
The very best of luck to him. Looking at what has happened in the UK it’s great to have a solid, stable government here.
@offtheball: A meaningful role for all. Talk of additional junior ministers. Oh the happy chappy days are back.
Ah well as long as Leo has his fun that’s the main thing.
@offtheball: he wouldn’t be my first choice as Taoiseach but i sincerely hope it goes well for him.
Democracy where?
@Stephen Maher: Ireland is a parliamentary, representative democratic republic. Not a democracy.
@Paul Clancy: it is certainly not a Republic in any meaningful sense.
@Tipper Irie: No it’s not. Our system is different as I have said.
Plenty of back slapping in the Dáil bar só. Put in on the tab there good fellow.
Niell Richmond on radio today trying to defend not waiting 2 effing days until Monday for the handover by stating its a “minimal cost”to have it all done Saturday (for ego). €10k he then states when pushed.
Demonstrated their detachment from our reality of what is cheap and unaffordable.
@l: u wouldn’t ever get them in that building on any other Saturday of the year either
Sad day having this yoke back.
Minister O’Brien one of the few to be told he will retain his position!!. Says everything about this gang of charlatans .
@Bri Lyons: cringe alert there Bri.
@Bri Lyons: grow u p! what do u propose…leaving these i ncompetent moron$ in charge indefinitely?!
@Damien Leen: That seems to be common theme with Bri and his peers.
The circus continues.
Just bring the lube people.were in it together
Fg dictating for 12 years, with a steady decline in standard of living. They have my vote.
Who gives a flying…. This lying cheat is not for the ppl and should not be Taoiseach again
The people should be allowed to vote who is going to be leader of this country there keeping themselves in jobs .
@Roy O’ Brien: we have never been able to have that vote. It’s nothing new.
@Paul Clancy: Rotatiion of leaders nothing new?
Watch out, watch out, Leo,s about! Are the confidential documents securely locked away out of his grasp?
Replacing the left hand sock puppet with the right hand sock puppet…. And you get….. a sock puppet
Isn’t Democracy a terrible thing when our duly elected representatives seek to govern for a full term. The Dail is empowered to support this eventuality and a majority of TDs are supporting this government.
Populous ranting seldom likes democracy at work and that is a feature of todays discourse.
@camio55: I’d highly recommend Heineken Zero instead of the real stuff mate.
Who cares I’m so over this now. They’ve not made a blind bit of difference. Ppl are struggling more & more. Sick of broken promises, same old same old from this lot. It’s the 12k increasing homeless not catching a break, struggling despite trying to get a house over their heads for their family & failing due to the lack of social housing provided by fffgg/local authorities &/or affordable houses being built, families struggling to heat & feed their families due to price gouging utility companies & supermarkets, the older generation going without food to heat their home & the up & coming generation who don’t have a hope under fffgg. We need a government thats in tune with the ppl not living in a bubble assuming they know what it’s like. It’s very condescending indeed!!
Amazing how nothing was said about his cheating and none of the papers or the so called journalists probed him properly all because he’s gay and they wanted to keep the power Any other heterosexual person in power would be hung drawn and quartered.
have your say
