@jackass_world @Alan__Shatter Why? Is Spanish some remote unknown language?

@Alan__Shatter Any chance of you translating that half time show for us?

At the end of Bad Bunny’s brilliant half time Super Bowl show a giant screen in the stadium read: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Perhaps that message might be digested by the far too many haters & abusers who inhabit this platform. & use it as a medium to target, denigrate & bully others?

@EoinLenihan Change great tragedy to 'one upside' and you may be onto something.

The great tragedy of the Celtic Tiger crash is that there was no right wing party to offer an alternative to FF/G. Instead, lunatics like PBP became opposition by default. This rant by Ruth Coppinger is the standard of opposition they offer - throwing around inflammatory slurs about an American president while Ireland burns. More importantly, when the same crowd abused their Dail privilege last week to label various Irish politicians and commentators who attended the IRL forum in Meath 'far right', then, just as today, Martin didn't push back on their slurs. Last week he agreed with them saying he give no 'truck' to those who attended the conference - sitting TDs and Senators included. Today he implicitly agreed with their slurs against the President of the USA - Ireland's FDI economic lifeblood. Martin might think he's slick letting PBP smear and defame from the Dail floor so he doesn't have to but his tacit support for and willingness to indulge these socialist headbangers is very, very telling. 👇👇👇

@Alan__Shatter Will you be doing the same for the murderous regime in Israel

Good. Took over two weeks but finally the Taoiseach said something. Now how about calling in the Iranian ambassador and delivering this message directly. Also withdraw our ambassador from Tehran in protest and propose, together with other states, a UN motion condemning Iranian atrocities & demanding the regime stop murdering and executing protesters?

@dirtypure2 @albertross99 @FinalTelegraph @BasilTheGreat When did posting hateful shit on the internet become a human right. Worry more about ICE shooting protestors in your own country.

@albertross99 @FinalTelegraph @BasilTheGreat You're making excuses for human rights violations. In some sense, people like you are actually worse than the ones in power, because you aid and abet them in their oppression of your own countrymen. Absolutely disgusting.

This is what fascism looks like The UK arrests more people for social media posts than any other country on Earth

@JChimirie66677 @citygal Seven wonderful years. A joy to behold.

@citygal Too long.

There is a sickness spreading across the West: nations turning against the very civilisation that raised them. Ireland has just taken a bold step into that abyss. It has elected Catherine Connolly – a hard-Left ideologue, an apologist for terrorists, and a mouthpiece for anti-Western grievance – as head of state. A ceremonial figurehead? Spare me. The presidency of Ireland shapes the nation's character abroad. It speaks on behalf of Ireland to the world. And Connolly's voice is hostile to the very West that made Ireland free, prosperous, and modern. The woman now elevated to Áras an Uachtaráin has blamed NATO for Putin's war. She calls Israel's fight for survival "genocide." She travelled to Assad's Syria and smiled with friends of a butcher. She describes Hamas – a death cult that rapes women and murders Jewish children – as "part of the fabric of the Palestinian people." She wants it governing Gaza. This isn't neutrality. It's siding with the enemies of the free world. Connolly is celebrated for juggling footballs before cameras and whispering the words "inclusive president." But she stands for a worldview that spits on the alliances that defend peace. She belongs to the political strain that calls America the problem, Europe the villain, and Islamists the victims. A strain that sees Western strength as original sin. Worse still: she won on a wave of spite. Not love of Ireland – but hatred of the West. Low turnout. Spoilt ballots. A rival hobbled by a petty scandal. An establishment asleep at the wheel. And into that vacuum marched the Sinn Féin machine – the most ruthless political operation in Ireland. They needed a puppet. They found one. Do not underestimate the symbolism. When Ireland elevates someone who excuses the most savage anti-Jewish terror since the 1940s, it tells the world something grim: the moral compass is smashed. Memory has failed. The lessons of Europe's darkest century are being mocked by the very people who claim to speak in its name. A united Ireland is her mission. Not unity through respect – but unity enforced by ideology. Nationalism turned inside-out: not pride in one's own people, but burning resentment of old allies and a hunger to rewrite borders. For too long, Ireland has been drifting into a posture of theatrical moral superiority – boycotting Eurovision rather than confronting jihadism, lecturing NATO nations while relying on their shield. Masochism passed off as virtue. Preening dressed as principle. Now that posture has a president. The West should pay attention. When a friendly democracy installs a figure who cheers for our foes, it shifts the balance. Not through tanks – through culture, legitimacy, diplomacy. Russia, Iran, and every Islamist faction can smell the weakness. They see opportunity. Ireland has made a choice. It has decided the real threat is not the tyrants massing abroad, but the civilisation that defied them. That decision won't stay within Irish shores. Ideas cross borders faster than armies. The tragedy is that the Irish people are being used. Used by a hard-Left clique that dreams of a world where the West apologises while its enemies conquer. Where free nations dismantle themselves one office, one law, one election at a time. A president who sides with those who hate us is not harmless. She will not sit quietly. She will act. She will speak. She will undermine the alliances that keep Europe safe because she believes those alliances are the enemy. We must tell the truth: this is not just an Irish mistake. It is a Western warning. If we keep electing leaders who despise the foundations of our freedom, we will lose that freedom – not in a clash of armies, but in a quiet vote cheered by people who think they are on the side of angels. Ireland has raised the flag of self-destruction. The rest of us must not follow it over the cliff. "Connolly's voice is hostile to the very West that made Ireland free, prosperous, and modern."

@Maritas_EUEnvir @rtenews Not Cuddihys fault Delehunty went to mush under the tiniest scrutiny.

@rtenews A 'thank you' gesture for attacking (rather than interviewing) presidential candidate, Nick Delahanty? That's what it looks like to me.

@nzkhattar @will_jeanes @samuelluckhurst Good idea, but most clubs are busy trying not to get relegated.

@will_jeanes @samuelluckhurst It’s imperative that #PremierLeague clubs start giving their 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Academy talent more playing time and the chance to step up

There are more players at German clubs in the England squad than there are players at Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea combined.

@graham_pitt @will_jeanes @samuelluckhurst Being from a country that hasn't won a thing for 60 years should be a worry.

@will_jeanes @samuelluckhurst Considering the lower standard that is a worry.
