How to destroy a civilisation in one easy article.

I have an account of what happened to my great-grandfather as one of 7 men. All shot by stormtroopers while trying to smash the sights on the No1 gun; an 18 year old subaltern wouldn't retreat before that was done. Their first night at the front; veterans wd have just shot the boy.

@TimDekker18 @camannua Arrogance or the punishment?

[Jonathan Mills @Muinchille]

I understand now why arrogance was so relentlessly punished in Irish society when I was young, and I look forward to it being punished as thoroughly again.

Reminder:
The Charities Regulator spends €380,000 a year on IT services (out of a €5 million budget), only to provide the public with a dataset riddled with hundreds ( if not 1000s) of errors, including financial discrepancies running into hundreds of billions of euro, thousands of missing PDFs, outdated data, and no classification scheme to make sense of it all.

"After coming to Ireland on a student visa and working as a cleaner, the accused became homeless but did not want to return to Brazil, where she claims she was a victim of domestic violence."

[gript @griptmedia]

A Brazilian asylum seeker, who first came to Ireland on a student visa, unleashed a “prolonged, sustained and deliberate assault” on an IPAS manager where she “stood on her head” and tore her hair out, has been jailed.

@TimDekker18 @irishelt Yes, but most of them are useless idiots.

The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has turned out, as predicted by many* at its inception in 2011, to be a threat to the State, and a menace to democracy. A mere channel for corruption and carelessness.

* but not on RTÉ.

NIAMH UÍ BHRIAIN: PAC's report on the State's spend on asylum seekers and Ukrainians in 2024 shows the scale of splurge and carelessness: Up to €2.6 Billion Euro including €1.3M on security for an empty site in NewtownmountKennedy - and millions in overpayments.

@danielmgmoylan @PrimroseViews @politico @Europarl_EN @andyburnham So does the plenary in the EU parliament the new law can't get through without it. It is depressing to see that body descend to merely British standards of democracy, though. They can do better and usually do.

PETER CADDLE: Senior EU figures have deployed a method to bypass the Right in a method even their insiders describe as "not democratic".

Issued? Were these official bomb threats?

[Irish Independent @Independent_ie]

Hundreds of Irish schools issued with email bomb threats this morning https://t.co/W085Go7S7q

@irishagreement @TheHist It was a truly Swiftian moment. 😀

[Jonathan Mills @Muinchille]

Hunter Biden's gold medal was a presidential masterwork of satire, one that skewered the hypocrisy and hierarchy so prevalent in modern politics in so many ways and triggered all the right people.

Well done @TheHist. Keep up the good work.

[TheJournal.ie @thejournal_ie]

Former US president Joe Biden has made an unexpected appearance at Trinity College Dublin.

He is there with his son, Hunter Biden, who is receiving a gold medal at an event organised by The Hist, one of the university’s debating societies. https://t.co/fIfbBUlL8W

[Jonathan Mills @Muinchille]

@1Dunbogue @fiannafact @Nick_Delehanty They truly were nasty. However I suspect that few of them were Norman in any meaningful sense of the word, and that a lot of them were Irish. Unfortunately, the documentation is sparse and ambiguous, but this seems to have happened here with similar groups even before then.

[Jonathan Mills @Muinchille]

@DavidHenigUK They're just behaving like every other group of political actors. None of them can be bothered to deal with reality because it's simply too complicated.
