Why is Barack Hussein Obama meeting with world leaders while President Trump is in office?
This is a coup.

@MickOKeeffe Are you angry at people for integrating into irish society ? That an odd complaint!

The 2026 St Patrick's Day parades in Ireland are full of Indians.
What's Irish about this?

34% for the nationalists.

@CeeMacBee Perhaps the backers of the Italian and Japanese political parties weren't helping themselves to public funds during covid!

Calver: 'A point often missed is that Britain has been quite unusual in going on a sustained healthcare spending spree. Between 2019 and 2024, according to the OECD, spending increased by 1.2 per cent of GDP, more than in any other G7 country. In Italy and Japan spending actually fell. Even if we adjust for inflation, Britain’s rise in spending between 2019 and 2025 amounts to £40 billion, or 24 per cent.'

Let’s get straight to the point send them back

@CharlieM_OBE My dad spent 26 years in India. He never got the vote, or any handouts. Schools didn’t cater for expat kids. He learned the language & respected their customs. Today, British people are expected to subsidise immigrants, who say our laws don’t suit them. Try that in their country!

@SBarrettBar Because of a deal from the previous administration?

With the Chagos betrayal now dead in the water
Starmer and Hermer have to resign.

@TheMandyGall It’s a psyop. There’s money there but they don’t want to celebrate Christianity in Ireland, or our heritage. My bet is that the “new Irish” will save the day and hold a Notting Hill type festival that celebrates a multicultural “Ireland for All”

Louth County Council can find money for this 👇 but have no money for a St. Patrick's Day Parade...🙄

@ServeOnlyGod There isn't a definitive irish dna. Irish Scottish, Welsh is a close as you'll get!
English
A simple guide on how to be Irish.
Have Irish DNA.
Belong to an ethnic group of people native to the island of Ireland who share ancestry.
Have deep historical roots in Ireland and a shared culture that goes back thousands of years.
If you fit all the above you are Irish.

In Ireland, the Irish Independent reports that many young people say they are finding their way back to the Catholic faith.

@Peterfgraham @ArgyleBecky No defending it,not sure what can be done! Truss signed us over to the energy sector and I think we're stuck!

@SheppardEs @ArgyleBecky Never had you down as a 'defending the indefensible' type of guy. Fair play.

It’s only 10.23 and our smart meter shows we have already used £7.12 and we have many hours of the day still to go. I haven’t cooked yet or used the washing machine or dishwasher. Heating is a necessity not a luxury but not in Labour Britain 2026.

Primrose Hill will be closed on New Year’s Eve this year ⛔There will be fencing, security and a police presence to prevent access. If you had planned to head there to get a view of the central London fireworks, please make alternative arrangements.

@VividProwess They weren't given a state, they were given a concentration camp!

Douglas Murray:
"There is no two-state solution on the table anymore. The Palestinians were given a de facto state in 2005 when every Jew was removed from Gaza. They had 18 years. What did they do with it? Rockets, war, October 7th."
He's 100% correct.

@ilandwatch @RobCarryBray Was it their parents claiming to be socialist?
English
@RobCarryBray Amazing how much socialist leadership class will pay to avoid mixing with working class riff-raff.

Ivana Bacik, Alexandra.
Paul Murphy, St Killians.
Mary Lou McDonald, Notre Dame.
Richard Boyd Barrett, St. Michael's.
Roderic O'Gorman, King's Hospital.
The entire leadership of the Irish left was privately educated. Upper middle class people speaking for the working class.

Gordon Brown sold 395 tonnes of Britain's gold reserves in 2000-01 for $3.5 billion. Today, those reserves would be worth $56 billion. #HowNationsFail
