@arghkid Have a friend who is now exclusively known by the name Moses, even his mother calls him that, it’s not his name, but when he was about 7 he wore brown sandals to school on one occasion and that’s stuck. We are now nearly 50.

@richardtgarland I’m not speaking about you here Richard, as tbf you do show respect. But unionists as a whole show very little respect to anything Irish, language, gaa etc. so I’m not sure there should be too much greeting about a lack of respect when it’s reciprocated. 1/2

@tamhutch34 I think they are, although I think the business is on fire because of the colour of skin of people who own it, which makes it even more ironic!

@StephenNolan The Covid inquiry still has 8/9 modules to go, including one on procurement which no doubt the minister for economy will be asked to attend. They can ask him whatever they want at any of the modules, but of course as a journalist you’ll already know this.

I’m not talking ‘illegal’ here, I’m talking about why so many Muslims (and others) have moved here over years, it’s because you invaded their nations and they are..

@TheBrightonBard MOR is probably one of the best human beings we’ve had at the club. He’s a great player, but honestly such a normal likeable person. You couldn’t wish him any harm at all. Sometimes players leave and you care not a jot about them, I hope he goes on to be a superstar for you.

@StanCollymore Most tickets for the Dublin show were supposed to be €150, a few cheaper, some dearer, but €150 roughly the main. They were €440+ fees in reality. Whilst the uplift was a piss take, in what world is €150 even a reasonable price? Since when did that become the norm?

@squinteratn It’s interesting that there is more reaction from unionism to this news than nationalism,despite the fact unionists won’t vote for her regardless of what party she stands for. Think it’s fear that some previous non sf voters will now vote for them. They preferred the ex provos.

@TamseIIicsonIII Gerrard was the big name that attracted players they couldn’t afford to go and play there. They got away with it because board members were happy to lose money they don’t want to/cant do now and UEFA doesn’t allow the losses they racked up. That’s it, that’s all they had.

@KellyMatshall In the same way scumbag paramilitaries are happy to set aside their political views to work together to sell drugs, scumbag racists are also happy to do so. Hardly eye opening.

@richardtgarland Don’t think people as a whole actually understand the impact abuse has on a victim. Genuinely believe people think ‘ah they’ll be grand’. It destroys them. Anyone who can get on with life and make something of themselves is a rarity, and even then every day is a struggle.

@EmPeeKay76 @richardtgarland They’ve stopped people shortly after the border to check immigration status for years, long before Brexit. Busses are routinely stopped.
