Can't believe I'm having to write something like this again only three months after the last one...

There has once again been a noticeable rise in the use of dog-whistles and other derogatory comments against members of the Travelling and/or Roma communities.

As a reminder, ethnicity is legally protected characteristic in this country, therefore comments such as the following fall under our hate speech rules:

1. Dehumanising language
2. Calls or support for exclusion of members
3. Calls for or support for violence against members
4. Implying members are responsible for actions carried out by other members is not allowed
5. Slurs and dog-whistles (including but not limited to utterances such as "knacker", "culture", "culture boss")
6. Statements of inferiority aimed at members

The Travelling and Roma communities remain open for discussion in this community provided it is done factually and respectfully.

Any and all dog-whistles used against the Travelling or Roma communities will be removed, and the offending commenters will be receiving community bans starting from 14 days.

Hi all,

Given the new EU custom charges are rolling out today and many of the websites we use for things like clothes, electronics and household goods ship from the UK, even if many of them have a .ie web address, we thought it would be a good idea to have a list of alternative sites from within the EU.

So if you have found an online marketplace thats good value and which ships from the EU list them here.
