@SeanBradyNC @rtenews You are or you’re not your. But I’m sure you understand basic English.

@SeanBradyNC @rtenews How about you have a day off from being a gobshite

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@MrSmithx69 @SeanBradyNC @rtenews Ouch, what a burn. Not sure I’ll recover from that.

@annmcelhinney Here you go, pretty good explanation.

1. Lots being written about why many people in other home nations don’t support England at football. Reasons are many & complicated & I’ll try & unpick a few. Firstly, sporting rivalry - smaller Celtic nations will always want to beat their much bigger neighbour - this extends>

@PatrickGroyp @thejournal_ie What’s the way electricity got to do with electric cars?
Interesting about the lifespan. Where is the evidence for this?

@eoinyk Ma is common in Dublin. I don’t have a mammy, mummy, maybe a mam.

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

@itsjohncrotty @StephenNolan @JohnCharlesLave It is, among other things, a new flag, anthem, constitution and a new form of government. The current setup won’t work. I think we’ll need a federal type of government structure that gives unionists a sense of responsibility in how the country is run.

@Homeland_Party What has this flag got to do with St. Patrick?

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@ArthurC22524801 @Buailtin Welsh not a Brit. And like most sensible people he preferred Ireland.

@markhenryallen @RealOlaudah @grok When did Ireland have the same good fortune?

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@FinnishGear @notistotny Definitely not. Vast majority support Ukraine and the fight to stay free.
He is, as they say around here, a gobshite.
We do however need to figure out what our neutrality means and how it will work in this changing world.

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@LVNiteOwl @megynkelly It’s not though, is it? Not by a long shot.

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@PaddyTheFitzer @DanMulhall Except he did.

We cannot imagine future defence scenarios but government needs to be able to respond to them in the public interest without having to hold a referendum.

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@BigMattSays @VoicesofWW2 Thought so. Thanks for that.

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@BigMattSays @VoicesofWW2 And? What are you trying to say?

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@BigMattSays @VoicesofWW2 Who said it was fair? It was harsh treatment, no question. But given that they could have received prison (many did) or the death penalty, it could have been harsher.

[Higgo @d_higgo]

@BigMattSays @VoicesofWW2 The tread is about how Ireland mobilsed at the start of hostilities. And how a small proportion deserted the Irish army and state.
Not about support for Hitler in Ireland. You brought that in.
They were treated similarly to other deserters in other countries.
