@vseviov @rceallen It was a masterclass in forensic credible diplomacy and analysis. It showed the world how to do it. He isn't my king (I'm Irish) but I am proud of him as a fellow human being. He reminded America of what is supposed to be its core principles.

Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov
By praising NATO and urging defense of Ukraine, Charles III’s address showed what a strong speech can do: a credible, sincere voice; core values running through every point—even the jokes—as a single thread; a message that is unambiguously clear without being aggressive; complexity made understandable; strength drawn from substance, not loudness—without a trace of performance. Very well done, indeed!

How would you rate King Charles III’s speech to Congress? 🇺🇸🇬🇧 1–10… be honest.

@jurgen_nauditt It isn't up to the king. Like all heads of state in parliamentary democracies he has to meet whoever the government says he must meet. They aren't free agents. Trump is a monster but you have to meet whoever the government says. That's the nature of the job.

King Charles III of Great Britain has arrived in the United States for a visit, accompanied by Queen Camilla. Is this to honor the most corrupt and anti-European US president of all time? Trump has insulted and blackmailed almost every country in Europe, and especially Great Britain.

Some Christian commentators state that the shooter's manifesto was bitterly anti-Christian. I have read it. I can see nothing that is anti-Christian other than criticising turning the other cheek. In fact he mentions his church so he must be a Christian himself. #TrumpRegime

@MichaelPTKelly True. I went to a diocesan secondary school (1979-84) whose patron is the Bishop of Meath. There was no proper religious teaching. We slept through first year as the teacher read St Mark's gospel. One teacher used the class to tell how to use the old Button A Button B phones!!!

@JimTDuffy @rtenews @RTEOne One does not call a senior officer "Mr" or "Ms", ever. That form of address is reserved for junior officers, specifically army Captains, naval Lieutenants, their air equivalents, and lower. I've noted the same tendency to refer to to the Commissioner as "Mr" at RTE.

It's customary to refer to retired senior armed forces officers by the rank they earned, not as Mr. or Ms. Why are RTE journalists so devoid of common courtesy? @rtenews @RTEOne #RTEPT Former Defence Forces chief says Irish 'neutrality is a myth' rte.ie/news/primetime…

@Jenny_1884 Not this ignorant rubbish again. Camilla IS the Queen. Whether you like it or not is immaterial. Camilla is a queen consort. Elizabeth was a queen regnant. BOTH regnants and consorts are called "The Queen" - period. Learn your facts.

@JohnCleese BTW that nasty family have lost every court case ever. Every 1. The family is so vile no one will employ them. Even conservatives hate them. I used to work in parliament & encountered them. They're stark raving mad. He was sacked for breaking court orders & hounding the school.

@JohnCleese . . . in the US: bigoted, extremist haters who if they are not harassing gay people on the streets are harassing Jews, Muslims, Catholics, & recently disrupted a Free Presbyterian church service in Northern Ireland. They scream at judges in court & put employers through hell.

@JohnCleese He was sacked for behaviour no employer would tolerate. The court imposed daily fines as an alternative to prison. He refused to pay the fines, so the money was taken by court order legally. The Burke family are the Irish version of the Phelps family . . . 4/5

@JohnCleese The 400 year old school was so terrorised by him & his insane family that it was forced to get a court injunction to ban him from the grounds. He kept breaking it. He is in prison for breaching the court order. He will remain in prison until he agrees to obey it. 3/4
