Ireland's referendum on marriage equality, 2015: youtu.be/PMVIupSvT1s?a via @YouTube

@Pastey_n Your post is.

A great day to remember we've spent 100 years subsidising a monitory sport with no military application at all. Bonkers shit.

@JohnCleese He did a brilliant job on behalf of his country.

Absolutely brilliant speech by King Charles It got everything right A masterpiece I suggest that he should get his own show

@bmccormick70 @krassenstein Wow. You really are so dumb clueless idiot.

We have paid operatives, as we now have proof from the SPLC charges, that spend every single day declaring the President as a Nazi, a fascist, and a danger to democracy.. every day, all day! Trump has been a SUBSTANTIALLY better president that Biden, and NOT ONCE did anyone on the Republican side label him in a way that suggested he should be killed!! This is the THIRD attempt on Trump’s life!!! THIRD!! It’s now apparent that the corruption within the Democrat party is SO entrenched, murdering a President is an acceptable outcome if they can regain power!!

This seems impossible: A Twitter account made a post with the shooter’s name almost 2 1/2 years ago, and the header of that account has an image from a website called “Time Machine”. To make things even crazier, the Trump Butler photograph superimposed over that image shows that it’s almost a perfect outline of that image. Watch.

@vseviov @rceallen It was a masterclass in forensic credible diplomacy and analysis. It showed the world how to do it. He isn't my king (I'm Irish) but I am proud of him as a fellow human being. He reminded America of what is supposed to be its core principles.

By praising NATO and urging defense of Ukraine, Charles III’s address showed what a strong speech can do: a credible, sincere voice; core values running through every point—even the jokes—as a single thread; a message that is unambiguously clear without being aggressive; complexity made understandable; strength drawn from substance, not loudness—without a trace of performance. Very well done, indeed!

@Toibin1 It would be defeated in a landslide.

Aontú demands voting rights for Irish citizens in NI: ‘We can fight and die for Ireland but not pick its president. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…

@VolodyaTretyak Tacky.

What is the name of such interior style? 🤔

@benonwine 10.

How would you rate King Charles III’s speech to Congress? 🇺🇸🇬🇧 1–10… be honest.

@jurgen_nauditt It isn't up to the king. Like all heads of state in parliamentary democracies he has to meet whoever the government says he must meet. They aren't free agents. Trump is a monster but you have to meet whoever the government says. That's the nature of the job.

King Charles III of Great Britain has arrived in the United States for a visit, accompanied by Queen Camilla. Is this to honor the most corrupt and anti-European US president of all time? Trump has insulted and blackmailed almost every country in Europe, and especially Great Britain.

@smokelessworld @DonatoRaponi @SmokelessWord If by substitution you mean vapes then that is no solution. There is growing evidence that vaping is not safe. Yes, some substitution would help. But it depends on what. Vaping simply hasn't the science to show it is safe & growing evidence that it isn't.

How does the EU reach 5% smoking rates by 2040? EU tax policy expert, @DonatoRaponi has the answer: substitution products He joins The @SmokelessWord to explain why the current tax framework is stalling progress. Watch now.

Some Christian commentators state that the shooter's manifesto was bitterly anti-Christian. I have read it. I can see nothing that is anti-Christian other than criticising turning the other cheek. In fact he mentions his church so he must be a Christian himself. #TrumpRegime

@MichaelPTKelly True. I went to a diocesan secondary school (1979-84) whose patron is the Bishop of Meath. There was no proper religious teaching. We slept through first year as the teacher read St Mark's gospel. One teacher used the class to tell how to use the old Button A Button B phones!!!

So many Catholics are really poorly formed - even many Catholics who go to Mass every day. Our catechetical failings have been disastrous. pillarcatholic.com/p/swiss-cathol…

@ConorHogarty @CormacJOKeeffe @irishexaminer @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @HMcEntee Cormac, if I remember correctly, as a percentage of GDP Ireland's defence spending is not just the lowest in the EU, and the lowest among European neutrals, but internationally the third lowest on the planet. Only Mauritius and Haiti are lower. You may want to check that.

Lowest defence spending in the EU. @CormacJOKeeffe in todays @irishexaminer reporting on 🇮🇪 continuing failure to significantly increase expenditure on defence and improve defence capabilities. The State remains defenceless. @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @HMcEntee

Great to see Pope Leo welcoming Archbishop Mullaly.

@Muinchille silly tweet.

Drop it, loser. Nobody's listenjng. And while you're at it, has it occurred to you that Britain currently has more enemies than its budget will allow?

@Seantoir @rtenews @RTEOne That is the standard usage internationally in the media for decades in style guides.

@JimTDuffy @rtenews @RTEOne One does not call a senior officer "Mr" or "Ms", ever. That form of address is reserved for junior officers, specifically army Captains, naval Lieutenants, their air equivalents, and lower. I've noted the same tendency to refer to to the Commissioner as "Mr" at RTE.

It's customary to refer to retired senior armed forces officers by the rank they earned, not as Mr. or Ms. Why are RTE journalists so devoid of common courtesy? @rtenews @RTEOne #RTEPT Former Defence Forces chief says Irish 'neutrality is a myth' rte.ie/news/primetime…

@sinnfeinireland @Donnchadhol At least they know what they are talking about. Sinn Féin doesn't.

British military officials should not be offering a running commentary on Irish security – @Donnchadhol sinnfein.ie/news/british-m…

@Jenny_1884 Not this ignorant rubbish again. Camilla IS the Queen. Whether you like it or not is immaterial. Camilla is a queen consort. Elizabeth was a queen regnant. BOTH regnants and consorts are called "The Queen" - period. Learn your facts.

I’m not sure if anyone else feels the same but I don’t like it when Camilla is called Queen. Our Queen died. She’s not the Queen

@JohnCleese BTW that nasty family have lost every court case ever. Every 1. The family is so vile no one will employ them. Even conservatives hate them. I used to work in parliament & encountered them. They're stark raving mad. He was sacked for breaking court orders & hounding the school.

@JohnCleese . . . in the US: bigoted, extremist haters who if they are not harassing gay people on the streets are harassing Jews, Muslims, Catholics, & recently disrupted a Free Presbyterian church service in Northern Ireland. They scream at judges in court & put employers through hell.

Yes
