@KFCBarstool They did enough to look like they tried but badly enough to make sure this (hopefully) never happens again.

@RichardJGrant @mindyisser So if I told someone to go to Pyke and Pommes, they’d go to the one that is open, on the waterfront. So telling someone not to go because it’s closed isn’t correct.

@RichardJGrant @mindyisser Maybe it was temporary, I was there last month!

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@mindyisser El Tapas Grá is the spot. For lunch, Pyke and Pommes is also great.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Is it "how to shoot kids"?

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@FugeusRedux I don’t think it teaches you to be sympathetic per se. It has a constant zoom-out to remind the viewer who the real victims are: ordinary people. It shows the justifications of the cause while also exposing the dark reality of what people did or felt they had to do.

Trump would have to do something really bad, like spray paint a plane, before Starmer will condemn him.

@Give_Me_TheJist 100%. People call anything left or right because it’s to the left or right OF THEM. It must infuriate a true centrist like yourself.

@benaramsdale Traitors Ireland will also be on iPlayer this month. Honestly probably the best series of it I’ve watched yet.

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@Titter_of_wit @JoeEDwyer Maybe you should actually read the judgement.

[Lee Jones @LeeJone50103071]

This is the truth.

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@mosulboys @RichardJGrant @timmckane No they didn’t, because it didn’t happen. They postponed it last time.

[Bob Vylan @BobbyVylan]

Silence is not an option.

@RepOgles Oh so you don’t just look stupid. Good to know.

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@tim_brannigan Tim to be fair, and as you will well know, that’s a very normal term that our local press use. Same way they say “paramilitary style attack/assault” instead of punishment shooting.

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@AlanRMacLeod It’s because it’s BBC NI. There are a variety of terms that the local press use to move away from the language of the troubles, viable device is a common one that’s understood by locals. Another is “paramilitary style attack” which is used for punishment shooting or kneecapping.

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@HaysemY313 @gem_ste It’s NI-specific language which is completely normal to the local. They have a whole bunch of terms so as not to constantly remind the population of the conflict here. Another example is “paramilitary style attack” which means kneecapping or punishment shooting.

[Chris Taylor @Chris_Taylor6]

@eggs_for_brekky @adnipsIE @TypeForVictory @gem_ste It’s NI-specific language used as part of a range of terms to help try and move on from the conflict here. Another common one is “paramilitary style attack”, which is code for somebody being kneecapped because “punishment shooting” implies that justice has been served.

@RugbyRecitation If it’s cover for JGP then they’ve gone for the option that is closest to his style so that they can replicate that. Van Poortvliet is literally being brought in to do a job. It’s more to make sure that when JGP returns to full fitness that he can slot in easier. Common practice.
