Two Jews are injured in London, the world stops revolving and Starmer is all over the media expressing horror. Jews slaughter 80,000 Palestinians and not a cheep from Zionist Starmer. The hypocrisy is revolting

Best vote I ever cast was for this giant of a man

@Mick_Finnegan What wonderful news. I’m sure you’ll be a thoughtful caring parent - congratulations

So, I've got some good news, I’m going to be a Dad. Still feels unreal saying it out loud. I'm counting down the days and soaking in this moment before everything changes. I already know this will be the most important role of my life.

@dublin_damo Also should be noted that they are quite good to their employees, a 20% staff discount & if tied to the €5 off €25 this equates to a 40% discount on food. My daughter worked there during her student days & while I miss her greatly, I also miss the discount.

The quality of produce in Irish supermarkets now would have been unimaginable in my '80s youth, they are amazing, we should celebrate them, not look down our noses at them.

@PatByrned @dubsoulrebel @SkyIreland That’s really such an awful way to operate a company

@shemag1 @dubsoulrebel @SkyIreland Had the same issue. Had to send a copy of the death certificate. They took 3 months to cancel and then only refunded 1.5months

Just here with my parents (aged 70s & 80s) @SkyIreland They’ve been trying for ages to end the contract & keep getting passed around by your call centre Looking at their bill here & they are being charged for stuff like Sky Kids and Sports package that the never wanted. Awful

@nottoshareusout @dubsoulrebel @SkyIreland Thank you

@shemag1 @dubsoulrebel @SkyIreland Awful, sorry you went through that.

@dubsoulrebel @SkyIreland Thank you, I hope you get resolution for your parents.

@shemag1 @SkyIreland That’s awful…really sorry to hear that Sheila

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

@MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 I’ve always thought he was the devil incarnate. Also with his stupid stacked shoes, he looks like he has cloven hooves

Fuel protestors in Clare should blockade Trump’s Doonbeg hotel, if they haven’t already. Trump is the person who has caused the fuel crisis in the first place by illegally bombing Iran.

✍️ Dear @collision, @patrickc, As a hugely successful Irish owned company, @Stripe makes everyone in Ireland proud 🇮🇪. I understand as a dual headquartered company, in Dublin and San Francisco, you must follow sanctions imposed by #Trump in the US 🇺🇸. However would you be able to facilitate basic personal payment functionality on Stripe for @FranceskAlbs outside the US? She is simply doing her job, standing for international humanitarian law and the @UN Charter. Thank you. "Not only has the U.S. blocked them from their property, but banks have frozen Albanese’s accounts. Transactions involving her are stopped because intermediaries, such as Stripe, are American. Her health insurance has halted payments. Hotels have canceled bookings in her name." - Today in @politico by @KarlMathiesen

Netanyahu ha impedido a los católicos celebrar el Domingo de Ramos en los Lugares Santos de Jerusalén. Sin explicación alguna. Sin razones ni motivos. Desde el Gobierno de España condenamos este ataque injustificado a la libertad religiosa y exigimos a Israel que respete la diversidad de credos y el derecho internacional. Porque sin tolerancia es imposible convivir.

@Aldi_Ireland I have issues with a reformer Pilates machine I bought from you. I’m not happy with your supplier - waiting 4 months for a part & my contract was with you, can you give me an email address please

@SarahLongwell25 @mehdirhasan Because they have no shame, no conscience & no moral fibre

I’ll never understand how displays like this don’t cause people to spontaneously combust with embarrassment.

@Luke_Mackey @MindaugasLT @AerLingus I’ve got this flight 3 times this year & each time it’s T1.

@MindaugasLT @AerLingus 8:45 Aer Lingus to Heathrow?

RTE needs to do Prime Time investigates on @AerLingus claiming gates are in T2, only to walk 15 mins to T1 and get on a bus to a portacabin

@monstroso @JChimirie66677 If we're going to have a debate about Churchill, I trust this will include his racism, his use of the Black & Tans in Ireland and Palestine, sending the army in to break a miners' strike in Wales and a gunboat up the Mersey to intimidate striking dockworkers? Oh and Gallipoli?

@JChimirie66677 They’ve only been on the notes since 2016.

Replacing Churchill With a Puffin: The Quiet Erasure of Britain The Bank of England has made its decision. Churchill goes. Turner goes. Jane Austen goes. Alan Turing goes. In their place, wildlife. A stoat, perhaps. A puffin. A hedgehog. The consultation found it popular. The anti-counterfeiting argument was sound. And so, without a parliamentary debate, without a public vote, without anyone in authority pausing to ask what it means to remove the faces of the people who built and saved this country from its own currency, it was quietly done. This is how erasure works. With a consultation and a press release. Churchill's face on the five pound note is not decoration. It's a daily reminder that Britain has a history worth being proud of. That the people who shaped and defended this nation deserve to be remembered. And that national identity is something real. Hand over a fiver for a coffee and catch a glimpse of the man who stood between Western civilisation and Nazi conquest. The man who refused to negotiate when every pressure was on him to do so. The man who defined British resolve at its finest hour. Replace him with a puffin and you have made a statement about what Britain now thinks of itself. You have made it to every man, woman and child in the country. Without a debate. Without a vote. Without asking anyone. That is the pattern. It's always quiet. It's always administrative. It's always defended on its own terms, as common sense, as progress, as a neutral technical decision. Statues fall to angry mobs and the establishment calls it a moment of reckoning. Street names are changed by council committees and it's called sensitivity. The curriculum is rewritten by academics and it's called balance. And now the currency is stripped of the faces that connect a people to their past, and it's called anti-counterfeiting policy. Individually each decision is defensible. Cumulatively they form a pattern that is not accidental. The institutions entrusted with stewarding British identity have been captured by people who regard that identity as a problem to be managed rather than an inheritance to be protected. The long march through the institutions that began in the universities and the civil service fifty years ago has reached the point where it makes decisions about whose face appears on your money, and nobody with the power to stop it seems minded to try. The consequences are not abstract. A population severed from its history, its symbols and its heroes loses the connective tissue of national identity. It cannot defend what it no longer recognises. It cannot demand loyalty to values it has been taught to be ashamed of. Lebanon's Christians believed their country was too civilised, too plural, too decent to fall. They were right about the decency. They were wrong about what decency alone can protect. Britain is making the same error by different means. You do not need armed factions to hollow out a nation. You need a Bank of England consultation, a university diversity committee, and fifty years of patience. Churchill understood what was at stake when identity and resolve were under pressure. He said so, repeatedly, in language that would today be considered inflammatory by the very institutions that once celebrated him. The irony of removing his face from the currency of a country he saved, in an era when the threats he warned against have taken new forms, is apparently lost on the people who made that decision. A stoat will never evoke what Churchill evoked. That is not sentiment. That is the point. The replacement of meaning with the merely decorative is not a neutral act. It's a statement about what a nation values, made quietly, by people who were not elected to make it, and cannot be held to account for having done so. If we cannot defend the face on a banknote, we will not defend what that face represented. And the people dismantling it, piece by piece, consultation by consultation, know that perfectly well.

It is really very simple: If you have moved to Dubai to avoid tax, you have chosen an economy based on slavery over one based on taxation. You have chosen slaves over tax. You should be ostracised forever from society.
