A long journey, shared with so many amazing people from @HAPPatQUB and @QUBMitchell, but all endings are also beginnings. It will be exciting to see where everyone goes from here!

Given engagement is non-existent for those of us who don't pay Elon, folks probably won't see this, but I have moved over to alternative apps which I will rarely post on - same user name "@MALGault", so feel free to follow. I may post if anything worthwhile comes up.
We regret the push from some quarters to promote the view that we should scrap all previous convention and practice and no longer use the Northern Ireland flag, commonly known as ‘The Ulster Banner’ at those Games. @BrianKingston
Oh yeah... famously Stalin taxed farmers. What does the media continue to report on any old shite this man says?The gap between inheritance tax and collectivisation is wild enough that a Tesla on self-drive mode couldn't hit the edges.
Farms owned by two people, exempt up to £3m. Farms owned by one person, exempt up to £1.5m. How many in NI (or even GB) are actually worth that much? Pretend it's for "small farmers" all you like, it protecting your rich donors dressed up as populism.

Our Farmers DESERVE support, not extra burdens 🚜
No Farmers = No Food. No Future
The Chancellor needs to change direction urgently.

@ashanraijones I wonder if that's a Cromwellian Parlimentarism move because the Bishops are Anglican and should be distrusted and abolished towards good Purtian ends?
The people doing a messy anarchist symbol in a bathroom stall and engaging with their communities are always going to be closer to the anarchist ideal than anyone following the Austrian School of Economics. Community, Cooperation, and Mutual Aid over neo-fuedalism and corpo-cops.
Gen Z guys self identifying as “evil dweebs” and blaming democrats for how jokerlike and stupid they are is perhaps one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen
Another of the Gender Critical mob having some Trump Thoughts.
Imagine calling yourself a feminist and women's rights supporter and then sneering at "un resilient girls" having "breakdowns" after a rapist who helped take their abortion rights away takes over their country again.
That Enniskillen continues to be a flashpoint in spite of general condemnation of the bombing just proves we all need to pay more attention to local conditions and ask questions about what is going on in the world beyond the cities.
If we are to get anywhere in this place, we have to let each other remember loved ones in peace. The new Enniskillen memorial site is distinct from the Cenotaph, so it is hard to interpret this as anything other than the intentional taunting of civilian victims.
This morning I attended a dignified service of Remembrance for the Enniskillen Poppy Day Bomb.
Mourners were taunted when an individuals drove past and shouted “Up the Ra”.
Horrific and disgusting.
Peace and Reconciliation…
