I wasn’t sure where to post this but since I am absolutely bursting with it...here goes. I have found the most amazing tv series on Britbox. It might also be elsewhere, but so far I don’t know of anywhere else. The name of the series is Quirke. It stars Gabriel Byrne as a doctor of forensics. The series takes place in Ireland and sometimes Boston. It brings out the Catholic church’s selling dealings. Girls in trouble thrown out by their families go to the nuns for help and they are imprisoned and forced into hard labor in their laundries. The babies are taken from them and sold to wealthy American couples (apparently the Americans had the ). All,of this is of course in the name of God. Ugh!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The storyline has shown up in other Britbox series: Jack Taylor which plays in Galway, Scotland, has several episodes on a laundry for unwed mothers in Galway ( worth watching!); Hinterland , which plays in Wales has several eisoes on a children's home at Dvli's Bridge, and there is one more series that just now escapes me, that also has a similar story line.
It is the big unresolved horror in England/Scotland/Ireland and Wales. The pope has lots to answer for!

It is true, there was a movie about it several years ago, but I can't remember the name. This went on for decades.

Hopefully this series will promote atheism.

Posted by Reason-AbleI’m 54 and bored. I needed a project and decided to buy a truck and make it my project. I’ve been adding little mods to it every weekend. Any other vehicle enthusiasts in the group?

Posted by flower_nutMy mother's best friend worked for the local newspaper and decided to dress me as a leprechaun and use it for Saint Patrick's Day. I was a smiling leprechaun, whatever that was?
