The account which links to my books - at present The Toss of a Coin: voices from a modern crisis. As such, largely North Africa, refugee and conflict issues...

@Digbylj 'Marxist Labour Party'. Has a child taken over your twitter account? Nationalisation means the public owns public services. We haven't had it yet. Labour came close, by putting it into the hands of the elected representatives of the public. But seriously, I dunno: read a book?

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@Digbylj You campaigned to Leave, you do the damned deal. Christ, Leavers and imbeciles. If we get a bad deal from Brexit, you know who won't be to blame? Those of us who voted to stay. It's on you, little man. Step up.

@GuyVerhofstadt Thank you. It's not a choice I ever wanted to make, but now I have been forced into it, I'm European more than English...

@RefugeecrisisGr Can I ask when you will update the number of refugees at the Greek mainland camps There has been nothing since 01.08.17

@ouchpunch @thesundaytimes Your desperation to excuse right-wing terrorism is alarming.

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@Nod65 @thesundaytimes Don't talk rubbish, son. That's like saying that if your aunt calls herself Trevor she's your uncle.

@kdudakia @faisalislam No such thing as 'alt-Left', and I hear fine. Apart from that, great work, comrade...

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@kdudakia @faisalislam 'Cause you don't really understand politics and think it can be boiled down to easy-to-remember catchphrases for the hard of thinking?

@Nigel_Farage @jeremycorbyn Thing happens. BBC reports thing happening. That's literally its job. What's YOUR job, Nigel? Oh, right...

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@Ed_Miliband ... So please can I follow you now?

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@Ed_Miliband This is... weird. I wouldn't have followed you for this alone, but you have played a strong, strong twitter game over the last year or so...

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@realDonaldTrump What on Earth is wrong with you? London has been hit by terrorists and you're attacking its Mayor? You are a disgrace.

@Louise_Rowntree @faisalislam I oppose Brexit of all kinds, btw.

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@Louise_Rowntree @faisalislam (w/o access to Single Market) That's Soft Brexit, not Hard, and in that, Labour has FAR more in common with the LDs than the Tories.

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@Louise_Rowntree @faisalislam But Labour policy explicitly states there will be a vote in the event of a deal being proposed and that they will not accept a bad deal

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@Louise_Rowntree @faisalislam Fair concern, but Corbyn's not 'Hard Brexit'. He and the Lib Dems are 'soft'. I'd rather no Brexit at all, though...

@ArianaGrande Don't give up in the face of unthinking hostility. Keep on keeping on. And thank you...

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@ArianaGrande What you say and think makes a difference to people, and you have it exactly right.

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@ArianaGrande from the UK, lived in Manchester and now work internationally with refugees. You are right, and the idiots are wrong.

[Rory O'Keeffe @RoryOKeeffebook]

@ArianaGrande Having read some of the disgusting things written to and about you by Right-wing imbeciles, I just wanted to say that I am
