Just a friendly gecko with a fetish for politics. Here for your tweets, not mine. 'Gecko-senses' tingle when politically inept tweet. Life expectancy: 15

There has never been a more beautiful metaphor for the aspiration of peace and reconciliation in Ireland than the Irish Tricolour. We often talk about green v orange, but rarely about bridging them together in peace.

The Tricolour symbolises that.

RT if you’d like me to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2022.

@mikenesbittni @GlensChels You still haven't explained the story behind your current pic? I keep assuming it's a scruffy pic of you as a college student from the 70s

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

@richardtgarland Why? Because you've seen which way the wind is blowing and are now prepared to evacuate the sinking HMS DUP?

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

@JamieBrysonCPNI @DavidGHFrost You spelled thugs wrong.

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

@CommanderMP Yes, actually. How about:

Full integration of Irish language similar to Wales/Scotland

Stronger all-Ireland cooperation on economic and social matters

All-Ireland sports representation incl football

Provincial Ulster flag

That's how you make the Union appealing to CNR comm

Northern Ireland is 100 this year. It was created through the threat of loyalist violence and now it looks like it will be undemocratically maintained through the threat of loyalist violence. I thought you mellowed as you grew older?

[Andrew Quinn @AndrewEQuinn]

NI Affairs Committee Chair Simon Hoare, MP, is left virtually speechless as LCC member, Joel Keys, says, in the context of loyalist rejection of NI Protocol, he "wouldn't rule violence off the table".

Cross-border trade continues to grow in Ireland, with NI exports to the Republic up 44% in the first quarter of 2021 https://t.co/uLO9hzWDxS

Northern Ireland is *not* a place apart.

Also NI. Funeral, funeral, funeral, protocol, protocol, protocol.

Meanwhile one fifth of population waiting for 1st hospital appointments.

Orthopaedics, neurology, rheumatology 6yrs+ waits.

All perfectly normal, nothing to see here.

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

This has to win some kind of award for the longest running whinge by a "journalist". #NolanLive

@Tracey_utv @BorisJohnson You call that an apology Tracey? Come on.

[Ógra Shinn Féin @Ogra_SF]

Irish Unity will happen.

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

Fucking hell, Malachi o Doherty does not look well. #NolanLive

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

This is the "precious union" @duponline, @uuponline, @UnitingUK, @WeMakeNI and others want us to be part of. They tell us we can be Irish, nationalist and Catholic and part of the UK. Unfortunately NI was created to keep "fenian bastards" out.

[Scott Moore @ScottMoore0]

This is one flag I would happily see burned.

No place for bigotry like this in our communities. Sectarians out.

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

Imagine having this slimey worm as your "friend".

[The Irish News @irish_news]

Christopher Stalford said he will “reflect over the coming days” on whether he should contact Arlene Foster. https://t.co/em1iRiVqeD

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

@Caitlin_Burke7 The reality is SF are haemorrhaging votes in Derry because the candidates, especially Elisha Mc Callion, are seen as arrogant and are taking their mandate for granted. Someone needs to be accountable for the shite electoral performance and if that is the two current MLAs so be it

@PointsBelfast Some hospitality!

[Sam “Ace” Rothstein 🇪🇺 @Conor1971]

Aye sure come into Belfast. Spend £6.50 on a pint and get the usual knuckle-dragging doormen beating you up.

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

@Saraita101 But it won't be a contest. It'll be a coronation. Of Doug Beattie.

[PoliticalGecko @GeckoPolitical]

Moreover, why would any democrat celebrate the creation of Northern Ireland? It was coercively created through a contested partition, in which violence and the threat of violence trumped democratic politics. It was a demonstration of how physical force can prevail over democracy.

@JamieBrysonCPNI No it's not.
