Politics...music...cycling...the on-line world. Books and movies are important,too. When the world moves to the right it's time to move to the left.

Another editorial clanger by #C4News. I know they broke the story and it’s their scoop but it’s time to say ‘enough is enough’. Now who’s going to tell them? #C4News

[Moonraid @moonraid]

Billionaires like Dyson ploughing their millions into agricultural land to avoid inheritance tax and claim ‘wilding’ allowances is a disgrace. Something had to be done. #c4news

[Moonraid @moonraid]

Looking at some of the comments: why is it that people find PJ Smyth’s interview a ‘tough watch’ and clamour for more real news - are reports of children being blitzed in Gaza, Lebanon and Ukraine more palatable to them? #C4News

[Moonraid @moonraid]

As far as I’m aware, Tommy Robinson is not yet a ‘case’ so why can’t his vile postings and utterances be commented on? #c4news

[Moonraid @moonraid]

#C4News has consistently highlighted the dire circumstances within England’s prisons. Sadly, their efforts are falling on deaf ears. Society has ghosted prisoners and prisons.

In Ireland we had similar thugs targeting libraries, intimidating library staff and removing books they didn’t agree with. Numbskulls is a term that doesn’t even begin to describe them. #C4News

[Moonraid @moonraid]

They attacked a library and a university. ‘Nuff said. #C4News

[Moonraid @moonraid]

Farage condemns the violence but fails to go one step further and condemn the people and ideas behind the violence. #C4News

[Moonraid @moonraid]

If social media is the channel through which these displays are organised, doesn’t that make monitoring the movements of these thugs that bit easier for the authorities? #C4News

[Moonraid @moonraid]

The police have their own internal problems for sure, but their true worth is on full display when they form a human barrier between these hate-filled violent thugs and their victims. #C4News

[Moonraid @moonraid]

Would have been better if the Federation CEO came on #C4news and explained the situation rather than hiding behind a bland statement.

[Moonraid @moonraid]

Aren’t Police Federation accounts audited and published and subject to a reasonable level of scrutiny? #C4news

[Moonraid @moonraid]

Strictly speaking, this is probably the worst editorial decision #C4news has ever made.

[Moonraid @moonraid]

I could understand this story getting 5 minutes at the end, but not 15 minutes + at the top of the show. #C4news

[Moonraid @moonraid]

Fiery report on immigration pressures in Ireland, but why no interviews with elected politicians? Right wing nut jobs get enough coverage on social media. #c4news

@Editorialz Your subscription fee is roughly the price of a tv license. Will I go to jail if I don’t subscribe? I don’t care. I’ll risk it. I won’t be subscribing.

@johncreedon loving the Art Blakely tunes, John. Not just a drummer and band leader but also a writer of great tunes was Art. Thanks for putting him in the mix and adding a bit of heat to this cold night in Dublin.

@maitlis @TheNewsAgents Shades of Alan Partridge with the cup cakes idea, Emily.

Dave Fanning on Sinead’s sad passing: “some of her albums were dodgy…” A Father Ted-like tribute. #C4News
