@hambonedavis @JunkieGeorgia @OwenReeman3 "Its understood they're working for tips ?" No its a job, but one that is exploited, Countrywide ! It wld NOT be acceptable anywhere else in the world. Its gone on for so long its taken as the norm. As clearly it isn't. Not so democractic !!!

@JunkieGeorgia @OwenReeman3 Tipping culture is crazy. However the claim was “why don’t you pay a living wage” which is ridiculous. It’s understood they’re working for tips. Which does lead to better service typically.

Or, here’s an idea…just a wild stab in the dark Pay your staff an appropriate wage??

@AlexAlzz2000 @OwenReeman3 In every other Country in the world, tipping is OPTIONAL NOT MANDATORY. What is it you don't understand. Maybe u have never travelled outside the world of U.S.A. Don't ever try to tip in Japan, they consider that impolite !

@OwenReeman3 so you’d be happy with all their prices increasing 20% in that case?

@PeterBurnsESPN @AroniminkGC @PGAChampionship @McIlroyRory just hit it straight from the tee, & when push comes to shove more safety play. Then u will stop my old man always complaining. A golfer of the old school & he was pretty good too. We so miss the BBC coverage as we never got to see you win live at the Masters. ☹️

@SageDespatches Someone should tell them they made a typo in their figure of 15%, that should be 51%.

It sums up how the Irish language has been turned into a political weapon, in the same way that Irish history has been hijacked. Using a language, history or culture to score cheap political points, or push an agenda, or mark territory, does a disservice to the language, history and culture.

@For_Film_Fans Happy Birthday `Kate'

She won a record 4 Oscars for Best Actress — a feat still unmatched — and here she is in 1974, making her only Academy Awards appearance.

@itsjohncrotty @TonyMallon14 Just to point out I'm going MUCH further back than 200-300 years. As my lineage can be traced to before the arrival of the vikings. So to that of the ancient tribes.

The myth Audrey is that they are ‘only’ warlike tribes who didn’t cooperate, not that they did not war Yes, your clan would have warred with the neighbours sometimes. If we looked at the history of Britain or Germany over the last 300 years focusing on the conflicts, we’d conclude exactly the same, but we don’t define them by that. Your clan would also been at all-Ireland assembles, agreeing all Island laws, competing in sports, etc. One national, legal, cultural, religious island wide identity, sitting alongside a warrior culture. Not separate tribes who didn’t work together, they demonstrably did You say bloody and devious, it sure was at times, I’d say it’s no different today, nation-states starting wars over resources, borders, grudges…

I’m not interested in NI being controlled by westminister or Brussels. Also the terms United ireland or new Ireland don’t sit right with me. I’d prefer a traditional Ireland. It’s a historical fact Ireland was never united as a centralised island, we are made up as clans.

@itsjohncrotty @TonyMallon14 No I don't misunderstand you, your opening remarks were that the warring tribes were a myth. I don't think my Clan were any different from their neighbours always trying to win over to gain control of the land. It was bloody & devious, intermarriage was a much more peacful avenue

I think you misunderstand me Audrey I’m not saying the tribes didn’t exist or that they didn’t war with one another - I am saying that is far from all they were, and that terminology & the accusation of a constantly at war society has been used to diminish a much more complex reality to suit an agenda - to justify colonisation They were not a ‘patchwork of warring tribes that did not work together’. They worked together all the time and saw themselves as the Irish by this point. They collaborated on all-island law, language, kingship structures, etc. They even met up for competitive sports - hardly the bloodbath of always competing tribes alleged! They chose not to centralise power in a single King (at least they rarely did so). And didn’t centralise taxation for national good, a vital aspect for modern nation state status. But that shouldn’t diminish the extent of their identity The accusation of them being ‘constantly at war’ is also untested. The Annals recorded every minor skirmish and cattle raid as a ‘battle’. Even if there were low or no deaths. Unbelievably, no one has compared the frequency of conflict between the 150 of Kingdoms of Gaelic Ireland to, say, the 150 odd nation -states of the last 200 years. They were most definitely more violent and warlike than us, treating cattle raiding as ritualised endeavour. But they had less of the annalistic, total eradication warfare of the last 200 years. They had an incredible rich complex civilisation, described as the third most important of its time after Rome and Greece. Law in particular was incredible refined. Focusing on the conflict alone is an injustice that began in the 1180’s for obvious reasons

NHS DESTROYED THE WOMAN WHO CAUGHT ITS DOCTORS STEALING FROM IT Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx gave 30 years of spotless service to the @NHS. Not one disciplinary mark. Not one complaint. She was the budget holder for radiology at Ealing Hospital NHS Trust, which means she could see exactly where the money was going. What she saw was two consultant radiologists billing the NHS for shifts they were spending at a private hospital down the road. The Trust lost £250,000 of public money through those arrangements. She reported it to her line manager. Her medical director. HR. Counter Fraud. The Department of Health. The Treasury. Number 10. She had a paper trail so airtight that @ITV undercover surveillance later caught the same consultants still absent during paid hours, and caught Miranda Harvie and Akkib Rafique taking direct cash payments from patients for private ultrasounds inside the NHS building, money going straight into their own account. So what did the Trust do with this documented, camera-confirmed, publicly broadcast fraud? They sacked her. On fabricated counter-allegations from a subordinate she had herself reported for breaching patient safety. The man who filed those allegations later sent an email signed off with "0800-F***-YOU-B****." He received a Top Mentor award from the Trust that same year. Sharmila won the Interim Relief Hearing. She won the internal appeal. The judge asked the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no and refused to let her return. She was blacklisted. Job offers were withdrawn the moment employers discovered who she was. She settled out of court in 2012 with two years pay, out of which she had to pay £77,500 in legal fees alone. 38 Degrees38 Degrees In July 2013, she was diagnosed with breast and lung cancer. Multiple consultants believe this is a direct result of the sustained stress of her treatment as a whistleblower. The consultants she reported kept their jobs. George Osborne said he could not get involved. Andrew Lansley said he could not get involved. David Cameron said he could not get involved. Every single official body, every single minister, every single department looked at a proven, camera-documented NHS fraud case and decided it was an employment matter.

@BigHughesie @itsjohncrotty @TonyMallon14 His facts ? are very dubious !

@itsjohncrotty @TonyMallon14 Now John, don’t be bringing historical facts to an argument on twitter. You’re out of order!

@itsjohncrotty @TonyMallon14 The old warring tribes is not a myth. My own linage was traced back to one of these tribes. Back to even before the arrival of the Vikings. But they were always fighting with the neighbouring clans/families for control of the demean. So many Irish names originate frm the tribes.

That is no longer accurate Tony, the old ‘warring tribes’ myth We now know the island was one single identity and culture, that worked as one on law, language, religion, kingship structures, one origin story, island wide sports, etc It was a photo-nation, one single identity that worked together on much, but didn’t centralise things we see as essential to a nation today like taxation, defence & elected assemblies They did meet up and decide complicated law structure at all-island assemblies. And called themselves the people of Eriu, the Irish, differentiating themselves from others. It just wouldn’t be accurate to say it wasn’t centralised and suggest the clans were autonomous and didn’t together or see themselves as one people

@OneIreland32 @BorderSolution_ Err no... the Potato blight & poverty. Poverty which was endemic of the Victorian era & widespread throughout all of the British Isles, just not in Ireland.

@BorderSolution_ It has everything to do with the systematic genocide.

Aaron there was a famine a generation ago in Ethiopia when population was 40 million, it is now 120 million. Why do you think a famine 6 generations ago on island of Ireland means population is still lower than it was 200 years ago. HINT: It is nothing to do with famine.

Jon Burrows to an embarrassed Sinn Fein: "I'll say this about Scottish and Welsh nationalists. At least they never blew people up to try and get their independence"

@rankedteams @GolfDigest Soccer, never heard of it ?

@Audrey1Marks @GolfDigest Ah yes, the country that invented soccer hooliganism has opinions about *fan integrity* lmao

"I lived there for a week. Just played it every day. I think that’s allowed." Rory McIlroy joking about how much he played Aronimink ahead of the PGA Championship. 😂

@DarranMarshall Really ? She disgusts me, she should have been fined for her behaviour during Covid. Standing there telling us to follow the rules, which she arrogantly breaks with aplomb. Some First Minister 👎

Unionism "needs to start looking to the future" when it comes to conversations about constitutional change, Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill has said. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@ronsterd89 Your Skin ?

@archer_rs Dear Restauranteur, Pay your staff. If you can’t leave the business. Sincerely Every right thinking person

@rankedteams @GolfDigest Integrity ? I & most of the world watching the Ryder Cup frm Bethpage were disgusted to watch the zero integrity of the American crowd. Somehow I don't think Bethpage will be hosting again !

@GolfDigest Zero integrity

@BobSuraFans @flushingitgolf Why is Rory McIlroy being singled out here ? as Jack Nicklas, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson etc.... ALL practiced pre-masters. U become an honary member of the Club on winning, & may practice as much & whenever u like.

@flushingitgolf Aronimink doesn’t host a major every year. Augusta does. The only person he trolled was himself.

Rory McIlroy’s preparation for the Masters drew headlines earlier this year and he just trolled everyone when asked about his preparation for Aronimink next week: “I lived there for a week. Just played it every day. (Smiling.)” Rory shot 67 today to currently climb inside the top 25 of the Truist Championship. @McIlroyRory @PGATOUR @TruistChamp
