This is the perfect use for the #timecapsule portion of #Ireland 's #Census2022 Poignant, touching and a beautifully written rememberance that will live long after we have all departed. Rest well Estlin, you were and are so loved.

Feeling such comfort today after filling in the time capsule section in the #Census2022 last night. Estlin never was counted in a census but 100+ yrs from now she will be remembered & our ancestors will be able to read about her. Just incredible.

@David__Osland They aren't alleging it. They are confirming that a Judge held that Bridgen was mendacious in his evidence and further that unless any statement by him could be supported with corroboration. That it was treated as untrue. Those are facts not allegations 🤷‍♂️

@OxfordDiplomat 100yrs ago. This was how Britain left a "British" city. Cork was burned. That's before we even get onto Partition and the horrors of UK collusion and murder. #NoNewEmpires #StandWithUkraine

@ITimbrell I'm not gay, my son is I'm lucky that he has grown to manhood in an era where he wasn't a criminal Where he didn't feel he had to hide his truest self from me That he always could be himself Those who fought against criminalisation made his life far simpler! Pride matters🌈🏳️‍🌈

@MartinRemains I hate to say this, because the UK has done much good in the world. But anyone asking that question? Has never learned the history of the UK nor paid heed to its colonies experiences.

@vivamjm The more and more Britain implodes the more and more I remember Frankie Boyle's prophetic tweet 😉 Truth is tho, we don't want to see Britain fall low (Other than at sport) There needs to be a reckoning

@JAMESFR29299422 @RishiSunak Rishi is British, his tax domicile until Oct 2021 was American but he sets rates, policy and indeed oversees rules re: MP and Tax Domicile that he breached. His Mrs is Indian, and loves her nation, but is Tax domiciled in US and living in Britain. It's an interesting web.

@PippaCrerar @evansma So now the actual function of the police is neutered for political purposes!?! Surely, fair consideration of how one casts their vote is dependent upon knowing just how debased their leaders are? Rather than here's a glimpse, now go and vote 🤦‍♂️

@daraobriain Awful set up for the penalties IMO. The subs should have been made way earlier and the senior players should have stepped up. Very poor management IMO. Don't get me wrong, delighted the 🇮🇹 won. But leaving that pressure fall to 3 young players was brutal

@shoshanade @pritipatel I mean... Refugees do not need passports. That's part and parcel of the Geneva Convention,along with the simple fact that in the absence of any passports? That the host Nation will issue any needed ID and travel documentation. They also don't need Visas. But hey, the UK 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@faoljew Opposing Israeli government policy and in particular the policies of Likud, Jewish Home, Otzma Yehudit and others isn't anti Anti-Semitic Opposing the policy of illegal settlement, of expropriation of Palestinian land and property isn't Anti-Semitic. Ireland isnt Anti-Semitic

@AndrewPRLevi So many seem to think that the comparison is immediately with death camps. When it is actually with the progression of hate, the degradation and dehumanisation of people that led to them. It's a slippery slope. When you deny someone their rights? You can deny them to anyone.

@RosieisaHolt @AnnaMcGovernUK @darrengrimes_ @GBNEWS The last of the bond coupons due for the money borrowed in 1837 was paid only in 2015. An enormous amount of money. All of which went to Slave Owners rather than those freed. #Britain paid for slaves until 2015.

@greghove Set a price that covers your costs and wages. Tipping in UK and expectation of same as a given? Is utter bollox tbh. Tips are a nice bonus, getting one is often brilliant. Expecting one? Is pretty much asshole American behaviour.

@IAPonomarenko It's easy to say the response it's thanks to NATO weapons and training. They certainly helped. The spirit of the #Ukrainian #people has crippled #Putin 's #Orcs I am looking forward to visiting, my family love the Bulgarian Black sea. Now? We want to retire in Odesa, in the #EU
