@ellipsis5 @SorchaEastwood Perhaps you'll post the permission the poor girl's family gave you to speak on their behalf. On second thoughts, don't bother. You don't care.

@SorchaEastwood Don’t think her family want or need condolences from someone who signed a friend’s of Israel letter

Beautiful Amy Doherty we are holding you and your kids and your family in our hearts. I'm so sorry. I have no words xxxxx 💔

@naomi_long The new UUP leader was previously Head of Discipline in the PSNI & it would be assumed part of that role was ruling on unacceptable behaviours in the workplace. I wonder if he will call this out.

Someone also thought it would be "epic bants" to put one of these in Paula's pigeonhole a couple of weeks ago...
Nasty, childish, petulant conduct unbecoming of any serious political party. So fits the TUV to a tee...

Someone in the TUV thought a pen mocking Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw was a good idea. #TUV26 #ENDVAWG

@kitbilly55 @BelTel @SJAMcBride @little_pengelly @duponline @sinnfeinireland Unionists actually said they were there for ALL of NI. I think it’s sad that nationalists fight the USA tooth & nail. Why can’t they put politics aside and be diplomatic for the good of this place??

@AmandaFBelfast @barryjflack @nick_gawa If the roots are linked through Ulster & Scotland, where are the Scottish roots represented? The title itself claims dual heritage but only the Ulster bit is being promoted, not the Scots. 🤔
Incidentally, I can trace my mother's side back to Ayrshire via Monaghan and Belfast.
English
@barryjflack @nick_gawa At least Ulster would be accurate!

A reminder that Northern Ireland exists today ✊🏻🇬🇧

@irish_news Ne Temere was a decree not exclusive to RoI. My Portadown father was excommunicated when marrying my mother in 1948, despite agreeing to baptise & raise their children Catholic. Its insidious primary purpose was to intimidate Catholics from inter marrying, conversion was next.

"In truth, Irish Protestants were widely viewed as barely-Christian, non-Irish interlopers.
No wonder the Irish Protestant comedian and television presenter Graham Norton said that he “felt more of an outsider in Ireland being Protestant than being gay”."

@_paulrodgers Just had a health scare, got thinking about my final 'disposal' so had a family conversation. It was good fun. Only detail I'll reveal is that my last song will be 'Travellin' In Style'.
'Just my blues guitar, that's all I need'.
My 50 year old Les Paul inspired by Koss ❤🎸
English
50 years today since Koss passed. He still lives in my heart.
Paul Kossoff (1950-1976)
English
@60sPsychJukebox When I was 14 Koss & Peter Green were the reasons I had to get a Les Paul. Joined my first band at 17 & had my baby when I was 20. Still give him 50 years later. Free & the original Fleetwood Mac still give me tingles.
English
March 19th 1976 - Remembering Former Free guitarist, 26 year old Paul Kossoff, died of heart failure while on a flight across the US. He had been troubled with heart disease most of his life. At age nine, Kossoff started classical guitar lessons with Blanche Monroe. His classical guitar training continued until he was fifteen. In December 1965, he saw Eric Clapton with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at The Refectory, Golders Green, North West London. This encounter inspired him to purchase a Gibson Les Paul guitar. During 1966, Kossoff worked as a junior salesman at Selmer's Music Shop in Charing Cross Road. He received lessons from session guitarist Colin Falconer, who worked in the guitar department at Selmer's.

@JonBurrowsMLA The only 'seizing' is of hankies to stifle the laughter. Everyone's pissing themselves, not point scoring.
English
It’s so revealing - Donald Trump’s words are to be ignored until he says something you can seize on for point scoring. Whilst some are promoting Northern Ireland on the global stage, others are fixating on trivial nonsense. Focus on jobs - not jokes.

@bagshaw2112 It screams 1970 but my head says 69. Billy Preston, I started a new school in 70, but Credence?

@carlalockhart I can just imagine your views on 'equal faiths' if the Legion Of Mary held a wee rosary in Lurgan of a Saturday.
English
But you can’t preach or pray expressing Christian values in town centres or near abortion clinics without being arrested.
Are all faiths equal?
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country. I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths. That’s British values. The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.

@mgtruth @mclaren_linzi @williamcrawley In her early days I couldn't stand her smaltzy glam stuff but she is an incredible musician & I'm a big admirer, if still not a big fan. Her charity work is phenomenal though, & she's humble despite her wealth & fame.

I don’t know any historians of the US who agree with this statement.
Note: Jackson’s role in slavery and the forced removal of Native American communities (see: Trail of Tears”).
“Andrew Jackson has for a long time been regarded by many as THE greatest American president …”

Congratulations to our colleague and dear friend Trevor Marshall on his speech at the Speaker Luncheon yesterday with President Trump and his sharing of the musical tribute to Scots-Irish in America 👏
English
@mgtruth @mclaren_linzi @williamcrawley They only 'celebrate' her here because of her fame. She contributes so much back into her community, providing free books for poor kids in Appalachia (& beyond) to help them read & write & get out of poverty. That's what should really be celebrated back 'home'.
English
@mgtruth @mclaren_linzi @williamcrawley Dolly talks about her Scotch-Irish roots & growing up in poverty in the Tennessee hills.
Here they only talk about presidents, civil war 'heroes' & people with knives named after them, while the poor folk are ignored. Unless they get rich & famous like Dolly, then they're grand.

@mclaren_linzi @williamcrawley I’m still trying to work out what the Presbyterians had to do with Dolly Parton.
I totally agree with you Linzi. Well said.

@bagshaw2112 When I was a child growing up in the 50s/60s, my Mum said 'poof' for a fart. A common question in our living room was, "Ok, who poofed?" There were six of us under suspicion.
Innocent times.

Micheál Martin had a very difficult gig today. He did exceptionally well with the orange toddler and seemed to command some respect. He did as well as anyone could have. And those saying otherwise have no idea of realpolitik.

@chrisadonnelly Saw this earlier & thought Martin O'Neill & Sammy McIlroy wouldn't be out of place on that list. Norman Whiteside too.
English
Where to start with this?
Firstly, Best & McGrath have to be at the top. And what about Danny Blanchflower?
Loved Kilbane’s attitude but he’s not top ten. For goals, Healy needs to be in there.
