Mandatory hi-vis is not good road safety policy, it’s cover for decades of inaction. A death every 48 hours on Irish roads is a complete systems failure, not a visibility problem. I spoke to @johncookeradio on @drivetimerte.

@UselessSpy@CSBlenner And then we have Galway West where the SF VLTL transfer rate was just 56% and almost a fifth of SF transferred to Independent Ireland.
@UselessSpy@CSBlenner Labour voters transferred over 80% left (Green, SD, PBP and SF in that order). The transfer to FG was about 13%. No party controls its voters, but it’s very clear that Labour voters were very open to Greens and SDs as their next choices and probably many were PBP and SF after
@Politicorak@CSBlenner 1253 from 1568 Labour votes transferred to Greens, SDs, PBP and SF. 198 from 1568 transferred to FG. It’s nonsensical to interpret a transfer pattern like that as pro FG. There were just better options on the left for Labour voters than SF like Greens and SDs

Palmerston, Diplocat extraordinaire, passed away peacefully on 12 February. “Palmy” was a special member of the Government House team in Bermuda, and a much loved family member. He was a wonderful companion, with a gentle nature, and will be sorely missed.
@MByrne13211@sjmc1974@eoin_murchu@DavQuinn Were you about in the 5th Century? Did you know her? You speak with extraordinary certainty about someone who may have lived in the fifth century or may be an amalgam of someone who lived then mashed up with previous real figures and mythical figures of pre Christian times.
This speech *is* one for the history books. But that’s less a compliment, than a coda.
Carney has given us the words to mark the end of the ‘rules-based order’…by acknowledging it never really existed.
It was a collective illusion. That now is over.
i wish all greenlanders blessing in their fight for independence
icelanders are extremely relieved that they managed to break from the danish in 1944 ,
we didn´t loose our language ( my children would be speaking danish now )
and i burst with sympathy for greenlanders , repeatedly ,
especially like when the case came up about the forced contraception ,
where 4500 girls as young as 12 got IUD without their knowledge between 1966 and 1970

4500 girls as young as 12 were fitted
.... they are my age and younger ... childless ....
and still today the danish are treating greenlanders like they are second class humans

removing children from their parents in 2025 !
colonialism has repeatedly given me horror chills up my back ,
and the chance that my fellow greenlanders might go from one cruel coloniser to another
is too brutal to even imagine .
"úr öskunni í eldinn" , like we say in icelandic
dear greenlanders
declare independence !!!!
sympathetic wishes from your neighbours
