OMG 😱
Is there no escape from those accursed pipes?
They even write books about them.
To misquote King Henry II -

"Will no one rid me of these turbulent pigskin pianos and cat stranglers?"

Sorry, but not sorry @Mcrobbie57Iain @thebattleguide @bj13johnson1

Another great find this week was a 1920 first edition of ‘The Pipes of War’, an extraordinary book covering the history of bagpipes, stories of regimental Pipers, records of individual battalion Pipers (including Laidlaw, whose Bible we hold), individual awards for gallantry…

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

@ShikaMyChelle @youmunbean @Uber @UberEats @Uber_Support @KFCSA Congratulations, Uber responded professionally and swiftly.
A good result.

[Jon Wort 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇧 @Tofrek]

@ShikaMyChelle @youmunbean @Uber @UberEats @Uber_Support @KFCSA I think he understands that but like me thinks perhaps the organisation who cooked it should share culpability and be called out equally, even if they are not going to refund you (fingers crossed Uber does).

@LeeAndersonMP_ Are you sure it’s not a biologically born female with XX chromosomes?
It’s so hard to tell these days!

@history99917180 I think you’ve made a mistake.
This is not the Social Media platform for sympathy.
Try BlueSky, or Threads.
Meanwhile, suffer like a man with flu, go & clean Dave out. That should take your mind off the pain.
Alternatively, take 2 Paracetamol & come back in the morning.

@brearey_rob @NotFarLeftAtAll No, you should only take a knee for your God & then only in the appropriate place of worship!

Scandal brewing in “neutral” Ireland after revelations that one Russian-affiliated plant there has been supplying over 83% Irish exports of alumina to Russia where it’s smelted into aluminum, a critical component for war production.

Aughinish Alumina in County Limerick, Europe’s largest alumina refinery, owned by United Company Rusal (Russia’s largest aluminium producer), whose parent EN+ Group was founded by sanctioned oligarch Oleg Deripaska. An investigation by the Irish Times, OCCRP and other outlets, drawing on confidential documents, customs data and satellite imagery, established the supply chain.

The Irish government tried to deflect but when a reporter filmed the plant with signs in Russian, they could no longer deny it. Now internal documents were leaked showing that the company is threatening the Irish government with loss of jobs and all sorts of things if it tried to curb its exports to Russia.

The newest defense is that alumina isn’t under EU sanctions so technically no rules were broken. Except Ireland had no problem defying the EU and forging ahead with its own restrictions on imports from Israel with its Occupied Territories Bill. Because… reasons (or maybe Russian occupation of Ukraine is OK while Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands is not).

Australia stopped its alumina exports to Russia because the material is so necessary for the war (its main exporter was also 20%-owned by Deripaska). The neutral Irish government is operating under different standards, where morality is spelled in Russian.

I wonder what the Irish people, who overwhelmingly support Ukraine (in fact, they are among the strongest supporters in Europe when it comes to economic and financial aid), think about all of this.

@Foxwatchman Sad that Twitter has so many posts from individuals who wish to boost their self esteem, increase likes & followers by posting videos/photos that may/may not be connected to an unfolding tragedy that is still being investigated.
Best strategy is not to post absolute crap!
