@Sir__Walsingham @JonBurrowsMLA @News_Letter Many interesting points but the benefit spongers dont care & there’s alot of them.

Good piece by Alan Chambers in the @News_Letter

@chrisadonnelly @BBCNolan You are in exactly the same league in terms of bigotry & bitterness as that fella - just on opposite ends

Prominent loyalist spokesperson, frequently promoted by @BBCNolan , News Letter & the main unionist parties, accused this man of “clearly being compromised” & “sacrificing his career for Celtic.” They should address these scandalous allegations.

@MrRCain2 so Cain is @gerrymac6511 burner?

You see here is the key question. What does Northern Ireland have to offer Irish Nationalists and Republicans? 🫵✅📢📢

@SaraONeillArt the power of attraction is an interesting concept

I’m seeing a wile lot of this from unionist politicians & not a lot of ‘making NI work’ 😂 Too much like hard work lads? Too actually impossible to do? So just obsess over the ambition & aspiration of an increasing number of people here? Aye, that’ll work. Well done youssins 👏🏻😂

@IrishGolfDesk terrible … terrible post. pls delete Golf has no place for politics

Northen Ireland?

@jamierkennedy Not surpised. Didn’t a toothpaste company increase the size of nozzle to sell more?

Things you learn in Ireland… There’s a rumour Guinness are lowering the logo on their glasses each year so folks that try and “split the G” drink faster and buy more pints. Here’s a look at a 2018 glass (left) vs a 2022 glass (right). It was noticeably lower.

@JonBurrowsMLA Few people realise this. But the question for me is when can we ever expect to see a 10/15/20yr plan to improve infrastructure in NI?

We are not building enough houses. One major reason is our sewage system is at capacity & planning applications are not passing. Getting on the housing ladder is getting more difficult for young people because we are not dealing with key infrastructure issues.

@DannyDonnelly1 Quite a sad & pathetic post - no balls either didnt even tag Jon

Jon Burrows said that his standards are so high that no one would use misogynistic language in front of him. He also happily flew to the USA for St Patrick’s Day to shake the hand of President Trump who regularly uses misogynistic language against women he doesn’t like.

@StephenNolan @NualaMcAllister do as i say, not as i do

Nuala McAllister @NualaMcAllister says "of course" she has heard misogynistic language in the Alliance Party - but insists there are no misogynists in the party

@SaraONeillArt sadly defacing of street signage has been going on for a while now in NI

If you believe the language of this land is ‘foreign’, you’re simply saying something about yourself & your relationship with this place. Any wonder this party has one elected rep with this pathetic nonsense.

@caoimhe90000 @bbcnewsline i disagree with none of your comments 😂

@itsbigdixie @bbcnewsline Better spent on that than bike sheds, gesture politics and Ukrainian cats and dogs. In a hundred years no one will care what it cost, but we will have legacy.

Journey times for some trains between Belfast and Dublin could be cut to under two hours as a result of a new £548m investment. Eight new inter-city trains are due to become available in late 2028 and the aim is to try to speed up the service.

@naomi_long Justice Minister resorts to petty cheap shots on the internet. Not a great look

Siri, show me what institutionalised misogyny looks like... Not to mention utterly insensitive and tone deaf in the week we're in.

@TreenieCurran @SaraONeillArt holy lord give it a rest

The Irish people alive today, are here because their great great great grandparents survived starvation. These people watched their friends, neighbours and family die of starvation. It was not a famine, it was a genocide. The English queen made sure that their food was taken as usual to England while the potato crop failed, the only thing the native Irish were permitted to keep. If any Irish people feel a closeness to loud and outspoken groups who tell you that it is not our concern what is happening in Gaza, or Sudan, or Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Congo, Myanmar, let me say it very clearly: you have forgotten your history, your reason for existing, and your culture. Irish people are known for resilience against oppression. You can have criticism and anger at immigration and still support the oppressed and dispossessed of this planet.

@newryhurler1 @TonightVMTV @Mickcliff yes it was all Mick 😂

@TonightVMTV @Mickcliff Mick and his ilk of course had no problem leaving Nationalists abandoned in a sectarian statelet which even to this day continues to show nothing but disdain for Irish identity or culture ...of course northern nationalists and Irish citizens don't matter to Mick

🗣️ “Unless this thing [Irish unity] is done properly, unless it's done with a large majority of people in favour of it – there are going to be problems,” says @MickCliff. #TonightVMTV

@duponline @gordonlyons1 So all these documents being shared with the funding officially awarded have no weight. SF withdrew the funding via the dept of finance on their own pet project then blamed the DUP. Wild stuff

Unfortunately for Sinn Fein and Colm Gildernew the facts don't suit their attempts to whip up a storm around funding for the placenames project. If they're looking for someone to blame then they need to look a lot closer to home. @gordonlyons1

@GildernewColm Sinn Fein MLA burner accounts going mad today

Sinn Féin will not accept this disgraceful decision and will work to ensure the Place-Name Project can continue its vital work. I am demanding that Gordon Lyons appear before MLAs tomorrow to answer for it. There is no going back to the days of Unionist misrule.

@stats_feed Economy: the cost of everything is ridiculous Weather: Good (for the UK) Immigration: worrying Culture: good NHS: Broken

🌍 “How Are Things There?” - Day 4 Hey Britain 🇬🇧 How are things there right now? Economy, weather, immigration, culture, NHS - what’s life actually like in 2026? Straight talk only 👇

@SageDespatches id wager the majority of X Trolls are just burner accounts for SF / DUP

Last night I watched a few episodes of the BBCNI documentary series 'Peelers' (on BBC iPlayer). It's about the PSNI in Belfast. Whilst watching, it occurred to me that the scumbags the officers were having to deal with, are the same type of people who have trolling accounts on X. I'm well aware of the dregs of society that can be encountered around Belfast but when you sit and watch it on your TV screen for over an hour, it does occur to you that they are a different species and it's like watching a wildlife documentary. The police officers and Stephen Nolan are the equivalent of David Attenborough.

@KevinPMeagher blame the DUP all you want .. at least they want NI to be a success. SF on the other hand want failure

This is a worrying but justified line of argument. The Good Friday Agreement institutions aren’t working - principally because of the DUP’s obsessive negativism. What’s the point in keeping them?
