Europeans won't buy these wankpanzers though. They're too big for our roads & too expensive to fuel. Try getting one of those things through the streets of Italian cities like Palermo, for example 😄
The world is turning on #Israel. Not because it is Jewish. But because it is genocidal.
Great to see the Derry Post cover our story from yesterday about the 75th anniversary of #Limavady losing its railway, & our event at Stendhal Festival tomorrow (Sun 6th, 3pm, 'Stage the Change' tent)

Today marks 75th anniversary of #Limavady losing its railway. A century of connectivity erased in an instance. Limavady would be the easiest, quickest & cheapest rail reopening on the island - & we're campaigning to see it happen👍 Hear us speak at #Stendhal this Sunday ('Stage the Change' @ 3:45pm)
The long-term reduction in Irish alcohol consumption continues at pace - with a decline of 5% last year alone 👇🏼

One to watch tonight (Mon 2nd) on @rteone.rte.ie . 'Housewife of the Year' is a brilliant, shocking, humorous & heart-warming look back at what feels like a completely foreign country - but was actually Ireland a mere 30yrs ago. Very much worth a watch. 9:30pm tonight 👍 #HousewifeOfTheYear
As Ukrainian drones roam the Russian sky, I wish you a good night. See you tomorrow!
Anyone know what size of crowd the UB40 gig at Ebrington has drawn? Can hear 'Cherry Oh Baby' frm my city centre house, & the crowd roar after each tune sounds loud 🙂 Not my type of band, but hope it drew a good crowd🤞🏻 #Derry needs to prove itself as a draw for bigger artists🎵
A huge 90mins of football for Strabane Athletic FC tomorrow, as they face Crewe United in the @officialnifl.bsky.social PIL promotion play-off. #Strabane take a 3-1 lead into the game, with the winner promoted to the 3rd (NI-wide) tier of Irish League football. 3pm, Saturday 31st at Melvin Arena 👍⚽️
Company Director, lives in a cul-de-sac. It's basically telling their snobby, judgey readers that he's just l8ke them, & not the sort of feckless oik they would have expected 😲
You can just see in the cat's eyes that it's thinking "That pigeon twat is so getting it once these kittens stop milking me dry.."
But regardless - it's all England. A coherent historical & political unit. Time for the other coherent historical & political units within the UK to have the future choice of whether or not the English (some or all is irrelevant - it's still a different place & people) get to control their futures 👍
Funny to see Man United lose to a made-up team of Asian-based nobodies on their latest 'brand-building' tour. But you have to wonder what right a load of Malaysians - with no genuine connection to the club, & who think Old Trafford is a TV/film set - hav to boo a club they've just leached onto?🤷♂️
The English get what they vote for. The problem with the UK is that the Scottish, Welsh & Irish also get what the English vote for 🤷♂️ Which is why the UK is a broken concept. A so-called partnership that is really just an English-controlled constitutional cage.
Who said it would be easy? You may not be standing in the way of self-determination for Scotland - but sadly the government in London is. That's why the UK is not, & never has been, an alleged partnership of equals. It's a constitutional prison - controlled by/for English voters via the London Gov
It's still a completely free & open border. Something you were disputing the existence of.
The completely open seamless border between a country that left the EU & one that remained. Yes - that one 👍
Have you crossed the British border in Ireland since Brexit? 🤷♂️
Northern Ireland will be leaving the UK. It's just a question of when, not if - with the timescale accelerated by Brexit. The English have no interest in the EU, & have the numbers to over-rule anywhere else's point of view. Your beloved UK is an English-dominatd constitutional cage who's time is up
Northern Ireland will 100% be leaving the UK. It's just a question of when, not if. And Brexit has greatly accelerated that timescale.
There are plenty of places around Europe & elsewhere where borders are notional rather than hard.
