Well, it's not a total surprise. The claim has been withdrawn. I would imagine it's due to the time elapsed. But here's the thing. As I said previously, Adams didn't do himself in favours in the way he answered some of the questions. Even fellow Irish Republicans will have some thoughts in relation to the way he dismissed the claims of people like Brendan Hughes. Apart from that, the opinions of police, military, intelligence services and even the US State Department have now been made clear. Regardless of what happens in a courtroom in London, it's the court of public opinion that matters most in the lobg term. When Adams is dead and gone, this civil case won't be the focus of the commentary about his life. Everyone knows the truth about him. His reputation hasn't been cleansed by the outcome of this civil case. The claimants didn't win but neither did Adams. When viewing the bigger picture, Adams lost but he probably doesn't know it yet.

I just paid a dollar more a gallon than I did a month ago. Didn’t he run on lowering gas prices and no new wars?

Imagine Starmer ‘forgetting’ who’d bought an £800,000 house, doing a video tribute to a notorious paedophile, having former classmates saying he’d said ‘Hitler was right’ and ‘gas them all (with hissing sounds) to a Jewish pupil. Why is Farage held to far lower standards?

The Iran war is going so bad for Trump right now he might need to release The Epstein Files as a distraction.

@SkyUK is there any way you could get our Sky internet to work, our Q Boxes to talk to each other, customer service to do anything they promise, to get the system we are paying for to work consistently or to refund us for time spent on worthless conversations with your team?

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop. Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box! The more we return, the less they will send!

PabloReports: What do you make of NATO not supporting these crazy overtures from Trump? Walkinshaw: That’s what happens when you don’t consult with anyone and don’t try to build any kind of coalition before launching your reckless, illegal war. They can see it’s a complete disaster. Predictably, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Nobody wants to touch it with a ten-foot pole. That’s what Donald Trump has done.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
Russia mobilizes 40–45 thousand people every month. We must eliminate roughly the same number of troops so that the Russian army doesn’t grow in size. Eliminate them simply so that Russia cannot expand its aggression. Over the past three months, we eliminated 30, 35, and 28 thousand Russian soldiers respectively. That is almost 100 thousand people. Just imagine how much Russia is sacrificing for this war. From an interview with New York Post (4/5).

EVERY. SINGLE. WORD 👇 👏👏@joshrogin (Foreign Policy - Washington Post) At least some Americans get it ! "I don't think Europe is going to bail Trump out of this mess. He's just spent a year hurting their economies, threatening to attack - and pull out of - NATO. Trump started this war without even bothering to consult them. They have historic levels of anti-Americanism because of how we treated them this last year. They're democracies - their leaders won't be able to overcome that, and why would they ? Why send their ships down the Strait as sitting ducks for Iranian missiles ?"

The BBC article states, "The former Sinn Féin leader is the only witness being called by his defence." After a week of witnesses for the claimants, all of whom stated Gerry Adams was in the IRA, Adams will be the only person giving evidence, to say he wasn't in the IRA. It's interesting how so many people outside court, have taken to social media to support Adams, but they're not going into a witness box to offer some evidence or even express an opinion. BBC News - Gerry Adams to testify in court over claims he had role in IRA bombings bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
