Rick Wilford: Tributes paid to ‘legendary’ Queen’s University Professor following death https://t.co/5HWRK0VlWo

[Megan Ward-Orr @MeganEWard29]

So sad to hear my former MA dissertation supervisor, Rick Wilford, has passed away. A gentleman, a scholar and even a bit of a comedian. Thank you for all of your encouragement and for everything you've done for NI politics.

Rest in Peace Rick.

[Deirdre Heenan @deirdreheenan]

Devastating news that my dear friend and long term partner in commentators corner on @bbctheview Prof Rick Wilford has passed away.

A legendary figure in NI academic and political circles. His wisdom, insights and laughter will be much missed.

#RIP

@noelfielding11 I thought Art Club was on Fridays 😭

@WendyDriver @SimonCalder @loveholidays I think they've changed the t's and c's on their website too. I'm sure point 14 stated you could get a full refund under these circumstances and now it doesn't. Surely its illegal to change those?

[Megan Ward-Orr @MeganEWard29]

@SimonCalder @WendyDriver @loveholidays I just contacted the hotel we were supposed to be staying in next week. They do not take payment for the accommodation until you have stayed! Therefore, money has only been with Loveholidays. That's why they won't offer a voucher for the flight cost as well.

[Megan Ward-Orr @MeganEWard29]

@loveholidays Ryanair are offering full refunds for cancelled flights. The FCO have stated there should be only essential travel to Poland. Poland have closed their borders. Why are your staff telling me I cannot have a refund?

[Ryan McAleer @RyanMcAleerbiz]

We could do a lot worse than spend public funds on reprinting #LostLives. Personally I find it incredible that the book has become so inaccessible (£400-500 on ebay). Such an important document should be in every school in the country. In an ideal world, every home.

Genocide never just happens. There is always a set of circumstances which are created to build a climate in which genocide can take place.

Between June 1901 and May 1902, of the 115,000 people in the camps, almost 28,000 died, about 22,000 of them children. The death toll represented about 10 per cent of the Boer population. About 20,000 black people also died in other camps. https://t.co/PwkfX8oCLA

Jacob - Rees Mogg debating concentration camps in a measured, calm and empirical way is a shining example of what happens when wealth, family status and intelligence get conflated. No amount of mono-tonal debate would save his argument in my tutorial room.https://t.co/joX30jcyTW
