I went to a Catholic school in London.
The "Catholic" bit is central, not least because my mother, the best,!faced down prosecution from a polite School Attendence Officer : "He's not going to a non-Catholic school. Imnreally trying".
She got one . Totally changed my life
Echoing Patrick O'Donovan, FF's Dara Calleary also says false electoral statements by politicians don't count as misinformation, and denies that Micheál Martin has broken electoral promises: "I don't see them as broken political promises, Ben - that's your spin."
@Ukraine@PM_ViktorOrban@vonderleyen@HungaryToday My memory is back in 20218 (?) a former PM made the point that @EU runs on Two Track...the national values it brings to Europe...and "our" kind of values.
Events have blown away " the rule of law" charade and Europe as a "peace maker". It's not anymore.
Respect to Norway.
When Hungary used its EU presidency to engage directly with ALL of the protagonists parties in Nato proxy war on Russia in @Ukraine@PM_ViktorOrban got nothing but badmouthing and grief from @vonderleyen and the clique
@HungaryToday
Here we have Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre pushing back against the criticism of his decision to speak directly with Putin.
Making it very clear that Norway will put its own national interests first rather than blindly follow political pressure from others.
As a direct neighbour of Russia, Norway has shared maritime interests, fisheries to manage, and national security concerns that cannot simply be ignored for the sake of political posturing.
Støre said that maintaining communication with Moscow is a matter of practical necessity, not political endorsement.
He also delivered a pointed response to Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen, highlighting the EU’s failure to establish a unified approach toward Russia over the past four years.
The implication is hard to ignore: it is rather hypocritical to criticize Norway for pursuing direct dialogue when Europe itself has failed to agree on a coherent strategy.
Adieu maman.
Je vous en supplie.
Priez pour l’âme de ma petite maman pour qu’elle rejoigne le Ciel et qu’elle soit réconfortée par les bras de notre Maman du Ciel.

Heart breaking news of train crash in Spain. May the Sacred Heart grant comfort and strength to the bereaved, healing for the injured, consolation to all those affected, including families and first responders. Please extend condolences to our Spanish neighbours and friends here in Ireland. Mary, Comforter of the Afflicted, pray for them.
Regardless of politics, its journalism of a high order--Oh Lord!

"The nation that erodes its borders, tells newcomers their culture is just as valid as ours, fails to assimilate its foreign-origin youths and coaches its own young to feel shame over their national history is a nation that has signed its own death warrant."

Those who wish to retain the Triple Lock and affirm Irish armed Neutrality should reread the warnings of our former President in his Interview with the @businessposthq .
Voters deserve a Referendum on Neutrality --@MichealMartinTD are terrified of them-- so is @vonderleyen
Yep! Lovely lady, who also believes there are two genders
And I can't help but wonder when I listen to others, why--ahh well...you know what I was going to say
The reality of Angels should never be doubted by anyone who is even vaguely associated with the Scriptures -- old Testament as well as new.
Its gas that Geoff emphasis that his material is pre-AI!!
