@namwalien Is what matters most not whether the things he describes happened, not whether he should write about them where or when or at all?

@HJoyceGender All that means is that money gets you to the best universities, to the top of anything and everything, regardless of talent.

@lifeisnotanovel D uses, for example ‘is proposed’ because the passive voice is impersonal and that is what science is supposed to be. Separate what you think of him from what he writes and you won’t make what is truthfully a foolish comparison.

@ProfHall1955 One of the frustrating things about academia is that it is full of experts who don’t recognise the value of other’s expertise.

@PolDeBuitleir Two things. SF invested in the law, academia etc because they were areas from which Catholics were previously excluded. You can’t make the union attractive. You just can’t.

@Reuters Were they migrants?

@PhilipProudfoot Flag-shagging bullshit from Burnham

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@paulmasonnews Do you dream about burning tens of thousands of people to death? That’s what nuclear weapons are

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@PBresnihan Absolutely true. The only protection for small countries like Ireland is international law.

@irelandbattles What were the rifles for? Shooting fish?

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@thejournal_ie Only if Irish Americans allow it. Would be ironic if Irish Americans who helped free Ireland from British domination now helped the US do the same.

@Ed_Miliband Any chance he’ll be visiting Washington and Tel Aviv to talk to the people who started it?

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@theiaincameron I think it is the UK making the incursion!

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@MediaLSE @JewishNewsUK Is that because the Labour Party has been expelling Jews ? Or what?

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@MarkSeddon1962 Still no reason ever to vote Labour again

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@ciaranmacairt When are Brits going to stop murdering people in other countries ‘defensively’

[anthony mcnicholas @anthonymacknick]

@molloy1916 Russians are infiltrating West Cork. The hot weather has melted the snow on their boots, making them hard to detect. Fiendish
