Student imported MDMA from Netherlands
Plus, Crossmaglen man sexually assaulted woman as she slept
Good morning, and welcome to the 50 or so new subscribers who have come onboard since Friday’s newsletter. Every now and then you hit upon a debate, or topic, that just gets people going. This time it was the school versus parent debate (see below).
The story generated a huge reaction across social media and had a couple of hundred votes in this newsletter. 54% of readers said the school should lighten up, while 43% opted for those are the rules. The other three percent were the more follically challenged among us.
While the newsletter might not always tantalise with classics, despite the best efforts of Scott – famed for being the brains behind this McDonald’s debate – we aim to try and bring something different. Something thought-provoking, perhaps? Leave us a comment, or a reply – don’t be shy. Is there something we should be highlighting?
