Funny how some public spending seems to attract annual scrutiny while other public spending doesn’t🤔 I can find published FOIs into the Twelfth clean up costs yet can’t find a single one asking the same question about St Patrick’s Day. Any thoughts @NewsLetter_Pols?

@myoddballs You know who mostly buys pants for men, women! You've made a major mistake here.

My son bought from @myoddballs … once he sees this that’ll be stopping, as he believes in biological reality & womens rights. Good on him. Shame on Oddballs

SACK THIS DISGUSTING MAN

@irish_news @allianceparty Shared does not mean neutral!

"We all have to respect each other’s culture… We don't want our shared spaces to have a dominance of one flag over another." Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw has proposed a bill on the display of flags and emblems. The Bill would place a legal duty on the Department for Infrastructure to remove ‘threatening’ or ‘hate-linked’ flags from public infrastructure, but it has drawn some criticism.

You’ve spent an hour telling an English person that Joyce is the greatest ever writer in the English language and they ask you for your favourite quote from Ulysses.

@WrecklessGamer If you'd went to the field you'd have seen people from all countries participating and running stalls, there was even a stall raising money for a Polish school in Dundalk. All good, no hassle, kids got their silly string and hats!

The absolute best thing I saw today in Larne when I was wandering around the parades: A little girl ran and grabbed her Daddy's hand as he walked past and he shouted at his wife at the side of the road "It's ok I will take her!" His wife laughed and shouted back "What about the other one, can you take her too?" 😅 I also saw family members run over and give their loved one's bottles of water as they passed, grabbing a quick hug before they walked on. I never saw or heard any hate, only love, community, a sense of belonging and celebration. I was on my own but never felt unwelcome. I didn't know anyone. I love the banter and had plenty today with total strangers that I spoke to because that is how I roll. I never saw any nonsense, no drunkeness, or trouble. The Olderfleet was BOUNCING because a band had decided that they preferred the pub to the field. They were singing along to Britney Spears, word perfect, possibly 100 people and I could hear them 2 streets away. I decided not to go to the Olderfleet for a pint 😅

Absolutely disgusting from this person, she is part of the problem and the reason why people like Anne get attacked.

That's an example of how pathetic Sinn Fein are!

This hurt my heart. How could they? They need to be charged and never allowed to own a pet again.

I most definitely don’t want any of these men in my bathroom or changing room & I absolutely don’t want them changing next to my grand daughter. Ever. Believe what they show you… over & over.

I sincerely hope you will do far more than 'look into' the matter @aberdeenuni The man needs to be fired with immediate effect. pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/705965…

Dear Adam, I have taken time to think about your apology. Mostly because, having made a mistake publicly before, I was keen to accept yours. It hurts when people don’t understand that you are sorry for messing up. I get that, probably more than most. But here’s the thing… I’m not sure you understand what you did wrong. And so you don’t really understand what you are apologising for or why. With that in mind, I want to help you. I didn’t know Ann, except as a powerhouse in politics and that so many people have spoken of her friendship and great loyalty. How lovely, I wish I had known her. I am utterly disinterested in her sexual prowess or the state of her virginity. But I would have enjoyed hearing you speak of her great accomplishments. Not as a woman, but simply as a human being. Here’s a list. She served in the House of Commons for 23 years and won five general elections. She served as a government minister in Social Security, Employment and the Home Office, where she was Minister of State for Prisons. She rose to become Shadow Health Secretary and then Shadow Home Secretary. She was appointed to the Privy Council. After leaving Westminster, she built an entirely new career as an author, broadcaster, documentary-maker, stage performer and television personality. Then, at the age of 71, she returned to elected politics and became a Member of the European Parliament. She was a longstanding advocate for Britain leaving the European Union and, when the political establishment failed to deliver the referendum result, she left the Conservative Party after more than 50 years and stood for the Brexit Party. She was elected as an MEP and took the argument for British independence directly into the European Parliament. She was also an unapologetic defender of free speech. She continued to speak openly on difficult and unfashionable subjects when others chose silence, it was easier to do that, she accepted the criticism and hostility that came with it rather than surrendering her convictions. Her Catholic faith was central to her life. She converted to Catholicism, met Pope John Paul II in Rome and was later made a Dame of the Order of St Gregory the Great by Pope Benedict XVI for her service to politics and public life. She remained a powerful public voice well into her late seventies, defending her beliefs despite decades of ridicule and hostility. That is an extraordinary life of public service, courage and reinvention. Yet, when asked to speak about her after her sudden and violent death, you chose to tell the country that she was a “spinster”, an “old maid” and a virgin. You discussed a failed relationship and suggested that afterwards she simply dedicated herself to other activities. Do you understand the reduction involved in that? You took the life of a highly accomplished woman and assessed it according to whether she had married, whether she had sex and whether a man had wanted her. That is what was wrong. That is what you should have known. It wasn’t simply that your words were poorly chosen or badly timed. It was the instinct to view a woman’s entire life through her relationship with men, even when her achievements should have rendered that completely irrelevant. Nobody discussing the death of an accomplished male politician would think it necessary to tell viewers whether he was a virgin, speculate about his sex life or describe him as an ageing bachelor whose romance had failed. I don’t want you cancelled. I don’t believe that people should be denied forgiveness when they make mistakes. But a meaningful apology has to identify the actual wrong. Ann was murdered after a lifetime of public service. At the moment her achievements should have been remembered, you diminished her to an unmarried woman who apparently hadn’t had sex. She deserved better than that. And I’m still not sure you get it. But every woman who watched you speak of her and then read your apology does. Bernie.

Eight men have been charged with murdering Irish women this year. Seven of those eight men are migrants.

Twitter is a handy and constant reminder that socialists are disgusting people.

Would be interested to hear Andy Burnham spell out his position on the extremely serious Islamist threat to Jews and Christians in the UK. A domestic issue of the utmost importance to national security and safety of a minority. Also yet to hear how he intends to tackle rising Islamic extremism (often aided and abetted by the far-left) which is causing many Jews here to consider moving to... Israel.

@Fatlad19211 @MartinG1492 I fail to understand the questions' relevance to the conversation. Maybe Martin can enlighten us

@WillJanice @MartinG1492 Agree but the general question was made earlier asking who did Jesus physically attack.

This is racist & hate-mongering & anti-biblical. What would Jesus do? Definitely not this! I am extremely disappointed that the Grand Lodge of Ireland has not explicitly condemned this. BBC News - Bonfire with mosque replica placed on top set alight bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Fatlad19211 @MartinG1492 No one at this bonfire was physically attacked. no one said Jesus physically attacked anyone!

@MartinG1492 @WillJanice As a footnote, while Jesus overturned the money lenders’ tables and drove out animals in the temple with a whip, I don’t believe He physically attacked people.
