Leave our brave veterans alone
Maj Sharpe 🫡🇬🇧🏴@sharpe_le
If you’re a Military Veteran there is NO WAY you should be voting for @UKLabour in the local elections. Unless you’re an MP of course they have no integrity or moral courage. This country has spiralled under the last 2 governments and needs a reset. But voting Labour is madness.

How do we arm Europe quickly and build up a massive European defence Industry so we can be safe from Russia?
The answer is: We cant. Not quickly.
Sputhern Europe is still sleeping but Northern and Baltic Europe is wide awake and armring like hell. Several countries are now spending significantly more of GDP on defence than the USA. Finland is already strong and Poland is very close to being ready. The rest are on their way.
But we need more time. Five-ten years from now, we will not need to fear Russia. They will be outmatched. But right now, Russia is a real danger.
So what do we do?
There are only two options:
1) Try to keep the USA as an ally for as long as possible until we are ready. That means keep stroking Trump’s ego and humiliate ourselves Marc Rutte style. Accept extortion, insults, threats and concessions while calling Trump “Daddy” and giving him made up peace prizes.
The problem is: Even that is not going to work. Regardless of what we do, Trump and his gang will want new humiliations every week. Giving in to a ridiculously unfair trade deal did not make the USA friendlier to Europe. Doubling defence spending has not made them less hostile to Europe either. Nothing will. They hate Europe, support Russia and cant be won over. They will not be there for us, and Russia knows it.
That leaves only one option:
2) Support Ukraine like our lives depend on it because they do.
As long as Ukraine stand between Europe and Russia, we are safe. Russia can not even take Donbas from Ukraine and would be in way over their heads if they also had to fight the Nordic countries, Poland, Germany, France, Britain and Canada in Eastern Europe.
We must demand that EVERYBODY in Europe contribute. No more free-riding from Italy, Spain and France. Not a eurocent in subsidies from the EU to traitors like Hungary and Slovakia before they also join.
It is real. This is not a drill. It is time to step up.
We can easily do it and I am confident, that we will.
Glory to Ukraine and glory to Europe.

A masked colour party has marched to the city cemetery in Derry during an Easter commemoration. Several youths have been posing for pictures with petrol bombs in the cemetery. In the past few moments, a male has stopped youths from setting a car alight. @BelTel [Pictures by Presseye / PA]

No it doesn't. Ireland's constitution does not compel the President to say anything in favour of Easter. Gross ignorance on display here.

In Dublin, 1916, six South Africans, two Canadians (wearing kilts), one Australian and five New Zealander soldiers, had their Easter Leave uplifted, when they were hastily requested by a student Porter, to come and defend the Reserve Officers Training Corps armoury at Trinity College in Dublin.
The 14 Colonials, along with some Irish students, teachers and civilians, armed themselves with hunting and sporting rifles from the armoury, and defended the College from the roof tops against the Irish rebels for 72 hours, with no sleep.
This picture shows the New Zealanders leaving the College after the Easter Rising ended, one with a sporting rifle still in hand 🇬🇧☘️🫡

Today, at the GPO, we gather to mark the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising and remember those who lost their lives.

@DanMulhall @TedSmyth is this the violent minority you watched imprisoned without trial, tortured, shot by /Govt and the scum parachute regiment - the only solution is Federal - Ulster, Munster, Connacht, Leinster - be sensible - quit before the next civil war
English
Sound analysis and good advice from @TedSmyth 👇
Ted Smyth@TedSmyth
I also respectfully disagree with Ray. The Irish government knows that, leaving aside the outcome of a vote in NI, in the Republic there are many who would not vote for a UI if it meant importing a violent minority into our country which would have to be contained by our security forces. Hopefully the British government and people will soon vote to rejoin the EU and an island-wide shared sense of being European (always John Hume's vision) will result in an Agreed Ireland supported by large majorities North and South. Meanwhile, let's keep engaging in community-wide conversations along the lines encouraged by Sam McBride and Fintan O'Toole in For and Against a United Ireland, and also by Prof Brendan O' Leary in Making Sense of a United Ireland. In any preparation for change there has to be a sense of give and take and those most in favor of a UI should be reaching out to the middle ground in NI and not just playing to their base.

Remembering with gratitude the 116 officers and men of the British Army, and 14 personnel of the Royal Irish Constabulary, who were killed on Easter Monday 1916 and the days following, defeating the rebellion in Dublin. Many are buried in Grangegorman Military Cemetery, Dublin.

Duke of Devonshire's exclusive Mayfair bookshop occupied as fury grows over his decision to raise rents to Irish farmers from £500 to £5,000 His ancestors stole this land in 1753; this mad rent rise will force farmers off land that they have cultivated for hundreds of years

How did this ludicrous feudal arrangement withstand the Irish revolutionary period?
And what’s the motive behind pricing out the tenant farmers?
A brilliant argument for nationalising large landholdings.

British absentee landlords haven't gone away, you know. The Duke of Devonshire (aka Peregrine Andrew Morny Cavendish) is turning the clock back a couple of centuries by imposing a rent rise on farmers in Co Waterford. Well, he is down to his last £910m... thejournal.ie/duke-of-devons…

Who cares! Guilty of treason to Crown rule over democratic Ireland was hardly any disgrace. I'd positively oppose any pardon.

Sinn Fein need to read the Belfast Agreement again; our government is under no obligation to do anything of the sort at the behest of their repetitive demands. Growing our economy, improving public services & addressing cost of living challenges are what we need to be focused on.
