@CShieldsbutler@IrishTimesOpEd You should go read about how Sweden records rape compared to every other European country. They changed their reporting system which is why the statistics jumped. Don’t take my word for it, go read something.
@natkingcoleslaw@livescorekerry “You said it was a Grand National for also rans”
“That’s not exactly what I said”
Actual quote: “a sort of Gaelic football Grand National for disappointed also-rans”. 🙄
If you were unfortunate enough to read any far-right Irish Twitter in the last year, you'd have seen this shite:
"Uncontrolled immigration"
"Tens of thousands of fighting age men arriving from Afghanistan, Syria"
I thought it might be a good idea to counter lies with facts. /1
@JCBelfast No, I’m sure it’s way beyond that now given the abuse being aimed at the kid. Hopefully he has people around him that know him better than the social media high horse brigade and they are protecting him from it.
There’s a video going around of a scuffle in an U14 hurling match. It’s a snapshot of a lad no older than 14 losing the run of himself. We know nothing about the build up or the day he was having or anything about what might be going on in his life. 1/
@LukeRyanPurcel1 Why is he attacking anyone? What happened before hand? Why do you think it is OK for the child in red to go around attacking people? The abuse directed at him for something that won’t be his proudest moment is over the top and undeserved.
@JCBelfast That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying a fella no more than 14 lost the head playing hurling and doesn’t deserve to have a bunch of adults jumping in to condemn him on social media for it. Who among us hasn’t done some thing as teens that we regret?
Fantastic trip to @TitanicBelfast on Sunday. Great museum and everything works! Why can’t this be the case at @NMIreland Collins Barracks? Is it just funding?
@ih8ffgandgreens @boucherhayes @rteliveline The Holy Bible: “That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him.” “So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him.”
