@NICU_doc_salone Pathetic reasoning for voting. Would you not try voting with a social conscience for the general improvement of the country rather than your own measly few quid in taxes.
@AliceonfireVoD @francoisplateau Deluded. Utd were double winners the previous season and champions league finalist that season winning 3 leagues in a row. Benitez lost the plot with his ‘facts’ rant and Liverpool fell to shit. End of.
@ThoughtsToby@sinnfeinireland@MaryLouMcDonald What’s with all this rambling directed at Sinn Fein, the opposition, instead of the parties who are actually in government? Outline your expectations of them. What do you think they have the power to do? And who do you suggest people vote for instead, what’s your goal here?
Sinead singing on ‘visions of you’ , was a huge act of generosity. Typical of her . Refused to take a penny for the session . That track had a massive positive influence on my life . From writing the track with her voice in mind, through to recording it was transcendental
News of @sinnfeinireland election victory in the North features prominently on the Guardian website, one of the world’s most popular news sites.
Back in Ireland, the Irish indo’s website appears to have buried the story so far down it’s home page you need to scroll for >1 minute. And still nothing!
Propaganda by omission is not just something RTE specialise in. It’s endemic across Irish media. Bury the good news about parties or people that threaten the crony gravy train, go to town on the slightest whiff of anything that could even be insinuated as bad for those who threaten Irish elites. It’s comical, but also deeply destructive to any sense of democracy.
But then that’s the actual role of Irish media - prop up the corny gravy train, lie and manipulate to do so, all the while pretending to care about democracy and the truth.
🚨 Minutes from the Bruff Electoral Area meeting held on 15 January, 2007🚨
Niall Collins didn’t recuse himself and voted to dispose of council land his wife had requested to buy four weeks earlier.
Limerick City and County Council failed to release to us, under FOI, the minutes for the meeting at which Niall Collins voted to dispose of council land.
After repeated phone calls, emails and finally a suggestion The Ditch boys attend their offices, the council had to relent.
Day 5. An expose of an Irish government ministers criminality is still trending #1. It’s been viewed more than 1 million times on Twitter alone. No legal letters have been issued. But still the rest of Irish media is entirely silent. Wildest moment in Irish media I can recall
