Why does Ireland constantly seek validation from foreigners - for sport, for other forms of culture... for everything - is it some kind of post-colonial weirdness. I don't give a fuck if some foreigner enjoys hurling, or not - I don't need their validation! It really is pathetic.

#PopeFrancis has touched down... and from this Presbyterian in deepest County Armagh you're very welcome! Ignore the bigots - the liberal bigots - the neoliberal bigots... you are who you are, and you're deeply welcome.

@TadhgHickey Nothing to do with racism for most of us - the issue is the inability of the gov to match resource (housing, etc.) to need and that impacts the immigrants equally if not more - hence refugees arriving now and ending up sleeping on the street! It needs managing!

@GerryAdamsSF @DeclanKearneySF @belfastsinnfein @sinnfeinireland @Ogra_SF @moneillsf @gildernewm @MaryLouMcDonald @PearseDoherty @PadraigMacL @ATownNews The main form of migration, here, is economic - most of us have little concern re: asylum seekers - but we are concerned about the huge levels of economic immigration in the midst of a housing/healthcare crisis! It really is that simple!

@DavidGr08051597 @Kevin_Barry @RobLooseCannon They pioneered slavery under Elizabeth onwards... wonderful. Literacy? What on earth does that even mean... they colonized places like Bangladesh that were hundreds of years ahead in metallurgy (for example) and trashed them.

@vicktop55 Russia needs to close the British embassy in Moscow down - they should all be expelled. Warmongers one and all.

@walker_jjj @neil_ferguson It is the response to the tests rather than the tests themselves. Without the tests you might as well be a drunk lying in a ditch screaming at the sky. You can't isolate. You get family groups becoming infected, then a spiral from there. The British and Welsh Gov are refusing

@kajakallas It's about time you East Europeans moved on from these resentments. My Grandfather was interned by the British but you won't find me using that reality to make a political point! Grow up!

@NicolaSturgeon @siliconglen @jasonleitch “You can’t fight a virus if you don’t know where it is,” he said. “Find, isolate, test and treat every case to break the chains of Covid transmission. Every case we find and treat limits the expansion of the disease.”

@ggreenwald I saw @facebook take down the Crimes of Britain [Twitter: @crimesofbrits ] Facebook account the other day - from what I could see it was critical of the British Empire, first and foremost, and catalogued little-known colonial crimes. Quite extraordinary.

If Irish Republicans think the British left is a friend... um, look at Labour during The Troubles. Look at the current Brexit debate... so-called lefties lining up to condemn the selling-out of the DUP!
