@richardtgarland Yet IRA members arrested just a few years earlier weren't charged with anything and instead interned in a PoW camp. So following your argument early 70s IRA were soldiers but late 70s IRA were criminals? Maybe, perhaps, British criminalisation was propaganda.

The decay of the Scottish nationalist movement is an intriguing case. No sympathy here though. They were given a chance in 2014 (that Ireland never had) and blew it.

@PangurBn10 What's funny is the response online to pics of the airport blessing ceremony at Christmas were broadly warm "isn't that gas" "Father Ted" "only in Ireland!" etc.

@anfiancaillte They're the product of a post-colonial inferiority complex. Always looking to the imperial core. Used to be London, now Washington and Brussels.

Sr Stanislaus says that there is hardly a house in the country that has not had a family member who had to go abroad for work. She reminds us that we should not lose sight of this for those who come here fleeing poverty & persecution in their countries.

On the one hand the Healy-Raes are unashamed gombeens up to their necks in IPA centre money. But on the other they'll often dissent on issues the monoparty (FF/FG/SF/SD/PB4P/Labour/ act in unison on.

Healy-Rae warns against assisted dying: "In Canada if you go into an A&E seeking assistance [with] psychiatric problems, medical problems, whatever, you'll be handed a leaflet on assisted dying, & it will be offered to you, for all intents and purposes, as a healthcare option."

@maccadoo8 I'd say stealing tens of thousands of Ukraine's military age men, skilled workers and children is playing into Putin's hands. Objectively the best thing Ireland could do to help Ukraine would be to repatriate her citizens.

@mjc0ughl4n Even if you have no sentimental attachment to marriage it serves an important legal function with regards to taxes, inheritance etc. There's a reason virtually every single society to have ever existed had created a marriage analogue.

@think_or_swim @thisweekrte The old left-right divide has mostly evaporated. In economic terms FG/FF/SF/SD believe essentially the same things only tweaking some dials differently. FG who spearheaded gay marriage, abortion, immigration, March referendums etc are hardly conservative.

The global south isn't rushing to Europe and North America because of war or climate change. The ubiquity of the smartphone and American-centric global culture has raised aspirations. They feel entitled to the life they see Westerners live on Netflix/ YouTube/LinkedIn.

@SiobhanIde @GrantSana Irish people historically went to other parts of British Empire because of deprivation of said empire, so Ireland in 2024 can't place controls on inward migration during a chronic housing shortage? Is this really the argument?
