If anyone wants to know how students in Trinity became so radicalised, the answer is Trinity capitulated to extremism from the student union, thinking if they gave them what they wanted then they'd calm down. It only worked to radicalise them more.

108 years ago, an Austrian camp surgeon, believing an Italian prisoner wouldn’t last the end of the war, helped him escape. His wife waited along the road, and gave Carlo Valdrighi, my grandfather, her jewellery to find his way home.

I will remember him. And him. And her. 🌺

@jimfitzpatrick @SecGenNATO @MichealMartinTD Says man whose primary source of income is a picture of a blood thirsty communist terrorist, Che.

@tonydutchdoc Is that so?

There are decent people on this island who would be of the opinion that IRA terrorists like you are “seriously sick in the head”

@mclaren_linzi @ucddublin @IrelandsFuture How many in the audience, apart from you, were from a unionist background?

@tyreepatton_ @BelfastBooks Disgraceful comment.

Sincere condolences to the family of James Speer RIP.

"you can't rewrite history"...yet that's SF's pastime; a party founded 56 yrs ago but tries to insinuate itself into the foundation of this state.

This is how you build a shared island, Ms McDonald.

[Jon Burrows MLA @JonBurrowsMLA]

Chris Hazzard is on the record praising Fidel Castro - who was a dictator- as “towering figure”. He may want to sit out the lectures on democracy.

[Orange Man @DownOrangeMan]

There’s a man with more integrity in his wee finger than all of our SDLP and Alliance politicians combined. SF should be reminded of who they are every single day.

25 years since the RUC evolved into the @PoliceServiceNI, I remember with pride those who served, suffered and never came home. It was my privilege to serve in both. The PSNI stands on foundations built through immense sacrifice by RUC officers and their families. We owe them so much.

@mgtruth @bbc5live @gordonsmart Fair enough. I acknowledge that I am slightly biased against McLean.

@EtainTannam @MichealMartinTD It would be interesting to see how Simon’s “blueprint” dovetails with the taoiseach’s “shared island” initiative - if at all.

[Etain Tannam @EtainTannam]

1st time a leader sets out NI staying in UK as 1 scenario for research, along with UI scenarios. Much attention to UI impact & NI-Irl comparisons (can be tilted by each ideology), but to exclusion of research on NI in UK A rigorous fair approach to inform debate @MichealMartinTD

@DanMulhall @BellJohnStewart @ClareDalyIRL And so you should 💯

@irelandresource @JamieBrysonLLB Anyone, ever, uttering the words: “Chris Donnelly makes a perfectly reasonable…point” should be ignored.

Worse…placing Antrim GAA above Ulster Rugby shows that he is not actually a rugby man.

[John Lee @JohnEdwardLee]

@HKane could have played for Ireland. Kane a West of Ireland name. Still, congratulations. Top lad

@donal_brenna @TomClonan @TomClonan was always self-serving; has difficulty spelling the word “loyalty”. Lost the respect of his colleagues in the army a long time ago.

A greater focus on football & less on political sloganeering, Israel hate messaging, cancel culture campaigning & ending the Shinner/Islamist ideological capture might help Bohs do better in the league next season. So much energy wasted on Stop the Game to no one’s benefit other than promoting Kneecap!
