I'm here in Lisbon. There are Portuguese flags everywhere. I don't feel the slightest bit intimidated. Nor does anyone else, tourist or foreign resident.

"There were tricolours everywhere, how intimidating must that be" Shane Coleman is disgusted on behalf of foreigners at the sight of tricolours flying everywhere on Path to Power

He's not my "great hero". Sounds like your issue with Musk is his political views, not his wealth. You don't seem to be quite so bothered about the other multi-billionaire "tech bro's" who share your views. Just be honest and say you only approve of super-rich tech chiefs who agree with you.

Why don't you set up a business making rockets, electric cars and AI, Lewis? It's obviously so easy to do, anyone can do it. 🤷🏻♀️
Lewis Goodall@lewis_goodall
Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

@joemichalczuk People would be giving out about wasting taxpayer money if they did go and they are heading out after the QF - sure no one will really be watching apart from England games and the latter stages. That's reality.

Some previous BBC studios. Just watched their Canada coverage & absolute bullshit it makes no difference where they present it from. It was just awful being in a VR studio. It’s the World Cup: the biggest sporting event every 4 years - the national broadcaster should be there.

@haveigotnews Fuck me, hopefully whoever runs this account is part of the people being let go by the BBC.

Ferriter talking shite. The Paddystinians, especially in @rte and academia, are so infected by Hamas that they can’t recognise a workable compromise. It’s all or nothing for these people.
The @fai will get no revenue from the match and still have to pay for a venue.

@EamonnsWord @Ben_Scallan Irish Ministers and NGOs are calling for censorship of social media as the clip was available.
English
Not one liberal politician or journalist argued that the George Floyd "I can't breathe" clip shouldn't have been shared. They only want to stop you seeing the Belfast clip because it's massively, massively inconvenient to them - 'sensitivity for victims' has zilch to do with it.

For Gary Lineker, it was “a green box in Salford”.
For the BBC, it’s a state-of-the-art studio that saves precious licence fee payers’ cash.
This is how the broadcaster’s decision to base staff ‘at home’ has opened a new front in the UK culture war.

@AdamCrafton_ I'm sure you know The Telegraph picked this line for more reaction. He talks about much more in the interview.

@EamonnsWord @donmcgowan As is every single interview and piece of media done by a party leader

Nick Ferrari just told his listeners that he didn't even ask about the five million pounds bung.
What is the point of our media if they aren't even prepared to challenge these charlatans?
Put any female MP in front of Ferrari, though, and he'll lay into her relentlessly.

"Right now, I'm the only person." Nigel Farage believes he's got sufficient 'rapport' and 'courage' to become Prime Minister.

@donmcgowan Because he'd never be given permission for the interview you dope. The question of the gift was settled weeks ago.

@WalshWalsh3 If they all had politics you agreed with you wouldn't care.

The reason I like Roy Keane is because I have NO idea what way he leans politically. That's how a pundit should be. Gary Neville and Ian Wright are unbearable

You know what I would never do?
I'd never make a joke about someone's house burning down because I don't like them or the things they said in a mayoral campaign.
Even if it was Jimmy Kimmel, who is quickly becoming one of the most disgusting people in this country.
The fact is Kimmel made that joke because conservatives rallied around Spencer Pratt.
I hope Kimmel never has to deal with the devastation that Spencer Pratt has had to deal with since those fires.
Kimmel, on the other hand, wants all of that to happen to us, and then some.
A truly reprehensible colostomy bag of a human being.

@EamonnsWord @AndrewRoy70 @rte Don’t presume to know what I would or wouldn’t be doing in hypothetical situations.

They can’t even leave sport alone without turning it into a vehicle for their own ideological preoccupations. And by this I mean @rte, because Richie Sadlier would be let nowhere near a studio to comment politically if his views weren’t approved. Tax & TV Licence payer funded.
John Lee@JohnEdwardLee
First 15 minutes of @RTE2 World Cup coverage gives platform to political views of intellectual titan Richie Sadlier and co. Update on Sadlier’s Israel musings at half time? Stick to football, folks #WorldCup
English
@AidanMcCourt @AndrewRoy70 @rte If he did you'd be asking why he is not talking about something else. Its in the context of Ireland playing Isreal. If he was talking about points you agreed with you wouldn't care.
English
@AndrewRoy70 @rte When has Sadlier ever spoken a word on air about the tens of thousands of Christians being killed by Islamists in Nigeria? That you people are so selective in your expressed concern says quite a lot about you.
English
Kind of incredible that it's necessary to use an AI software that's run by one of the richest men on Earth who is accountable to no one.
