Hi unionism. This is your friend.

Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.

I can’t understand why the OO don’t hand out bin bags as they’re going round.
To encourage people to pick up their litter.
Actively encourage them to pick it up.

Who was reared to leave a place like this? Absolutely disgusting! Any march, parade or protest against anything that leaves this behind should be banned forever from ANY further event!! Sin e 🤷🏼♂️

@alan_law01 Definitely isn’t. Yet when someone fills in there’s a lot of praise on here. John Campbell today, and Holly Hamilton another great sub.

@alan_law01 I can’t understand it and I think licence payers are entitled to know what the justification is for a regional presenter of a 2 hr programme commanding such a high income.

Teaching Iran to turn the Strait into a toll road was always a mistake.
Trump is in over his head to the detriment of the entire world.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
one day after announcing a fee for transiting the strait, Trump now says "I don't think anybody should be able to charge a fee for the strait" 🙃

Smithfield Market in Belfast is absolutely steeped in history but traders based there have told us they're worried about its future. All 27 units at the market are currently occupied, but they say the building has become run down and that's having an impact on footfall.

Not bad for a man who was found to have sent explicit images to work colleagues. Any other BBC staff member would have been sacked.

I have read this three times now. You could write an entire PhD thesis on this one tweet and every line of it.

Like anyone who’s spent any time around politics, I have many Lindsey Graham stories. This is perhaps my favorite… I was covering Congress (Best! Beat! Ever!) for the NYT when the Mother Emanuel shooting happened in Charleston. It was summer, but I was wearing pants and a sweater that day because it was always SO freezing in the Capitol. Anyhow, news of the shooting came down, and the DC Bureau chief called me with an order: Get yourself to Charleston ASAP and glue yourself to Graham’s side. She wanted a piece on the senator grappling with the unimaginable. So I headed straight to the airport, arriving in Charleston with just my backpack and what I’d be wearing to work that day, and linked up with Graham. He had me meet him at a restaurant, where I told him I needed to shadow him for the next 48 hours. And he looked at me, with amused distaste, and said: “You are sticky. And you are icky. If you want to shadow me, go buy some nice new clothes—maybe a dress—and take a shower, and then we’ll talk.” (He was not wrong; I was sweaty and gross). So I drove to a local big box store, bought a dress (he seemed to have a strong preference for a dress), and spent the next few days with him, resulting in this piece (which, for reasons not worth getting into, ended up being fairly different than the original assignment): nytimes.com/2015/06/20/us/…

Nearly 2,500 articles about the extreme heat when temperatures topped 37C, a record for the time of year appeared in the UK’s nine main national daily media publications. But nearly three quarters of them, about 72%, left out any mention of global heating or the climate

@LitterOlivia @James_AnFiachra It’s usually fairly messy at the HoS roundabout there.

@Christo69493021 I think it’s the way it should be after any event. Either bring your rubbish home or bag it and leave it at a bin.
A lot of festivals have been promoting that message. Looking after your environment shouldn’t be this difficult.
English
@mgtruth Do you ask the same of outdoor festivals, Republican marches, concerts or is it just the OO you have an issue with. I think we all know the answer to that

@WGeorgeColvin I think Glastonbury has improved immensely.
The Japanese are amazing. We were on a flight, London to Belfast, with a huge tourist group from Japan. Left the plane cleaner than when they got on it.
English
@mgtruth It an attitude if the bins are full, are not right beside them, then people just leave it behind. Unlike the Japanese who tidy up after themselves. Have you seen the detritus left behind at Glastonbury. 53 years ago for a couple of pounds we cleaned

@fmadventurebot @superbowler4 I do understand that. But it’s a regional radio presenter’s job. The others on that list are national presenters, some of tv. Not radio ulster.
English
@mgtruth @superbowler4 People listen. It’s not that hard to understand.
