jacqui76, to NorthernIreland

#PSNI needs strong leadership whereas #NorthernIreland just needs someone to show leadership of any kind. However, it appears that Jeff can dictate to everyone including the Policing Board!

There is many things in Northern Ireland that needs to change. I would start with a new Secretary of State or an increased say for Dublin. That would wake a few people up...

harriettmb,

@jacqui76 Why is anyone listening to a ‘leader’ who refuses to lead his party into the democratic institutions? Why are the #dup being paid a penny in salary and expenses while stalling all of Northern Ireland? @irelandpolitics

harriettmb,

@bullivant @vitaminsludge That the cops even went is hilarious. Surely they should know what’s on in their area?

harriettmb,

@br00t4c it appears the suspect had well laid plans. Still not found after quite a few days now.

taco, to Canada

Cut the shit righties: Jordan Peterson isn’t being sanctioned for what he said, he’s being sanctioned for being unable to say it like a professional, as is required by the long-standing rules of the regulated profession he voluntarily chose to take up.

It’s no one’s fault but his own if he didn’t inform himself. Just like it’s no one’s fault but his own he’s facing sanctions.

#Canada #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

harriettmb,

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @taco Sadly for Ireland, especially Northern Ireland, he will be doing a public event in Belfast in the not too distant future.

The scammers never stop - neither of my adult children ever write like this. Both can also punctuate correctly and spell correctly. Added bonus: neither has an IPad 😂 #scam #text

This begs the question - why didn’t the society remove him a long time ago? Still, better late than never, and good riddance. Now they must work together their credibility back. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/23773004.neil-oliver-tv-presenter-resigns-royal-society-edinburgh-fellow/

Seems harsh. Cutting the pay of those who want this place to work, as well as those who refuse. @irelandpolitics @ukpolitics https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/

jacqui76, to uk

Please take a moment to stop and think about Jeff/#DUP/their supporters that he lied too/#oneseatwonder/🚮

This only happened because the #UK implemented the renamed #Protocol - the EU made them rejoining a condition of them honouring their agreement towards NI.

Jeff isn't getting his fig leaf, that he can sell as a win. So he either closes Stormont for good or he tells the truth to his supporters...

harriettmb,

@jacqui76 Added bonus this morning. The #dup will be responsible for all MLA wages being cut if they don’t go back to Stormont. Is there anything else they can do to make people dislike them more? @irelandpolitics https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ni-secretary-i-may-cut-mlas-pay-again-but-havent-considered-dup-only-slash/a1138379945.html

The next car we have to purchase after the current one will probably have some 'personal driving experience' computer in it. Do not want.

harriettmb,

@ownohmanny Switch off your phone when you get in the car. Job done! The external cameras are an insurance saver for you. They stop you bumping vehicles, walls, people. They provide evidence when someone bumps you.

harriettmb,

@kevinteljeur @ownohmanny I’ve heard Tesla & Maserati and such, especially in NI, called Dealer cars - that would be drug dealer, not car dealer….. they totally deserve to be seen in everything they are doing in their cars. No sane person wants a Nazi fans car, surely?

harriettmb,

@ownohmanny @kevinteljeur don’t Tesla have their own exclusive charging points, or has the standard changed so they can be charged anywhere? Also every Tesla car sold is an offset for #ElonJet pollution: which makes him quids in every time 😫. I wouldn’t take one if it was free with a packet of Daz.

MOD accidentally sent at least 15 emails to Vladimir Putin ally, minister admits https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/mod-accidentally-sent-least-15-30879730

harriettmb,

@therightarticle In Northern Ireland there’s a total meltdown because some Irish people now know who may be in the PSNI. Sending emails to Putin ally is a lot worse. Begs the question why they had the email address for Putins ally anyway? 🧐 @ukpolitics @irelandpolitics

jacqui76, to random

This is one reason why they won't get the Windsor Framework removed, re-worked or amended. 's priority is a better relationship with the EU not keeping Jeff happy. Or trying to give the way out of their stupidity!

Time for the British Government to be honest with the DUP, you can't have what you want, so get back to work, you lazy......

harriettmb,

@jacqui76 I think it’s hilarious that Jeff is calling for an interim CC until the Psni is sorted: perhaps we should have an interim head of the DUP until they go back to Stormont?

harriettmb,

@jacqui76 It would be the best #karma if the next CC for #psni was a woman, ex-Garda, and Catholic. Jeff couldn’t cope at all. Whatever else, NI is well overdue a woman Chief Constable, as long as they aren’t from MetPol. #MetPol

harriettmb,

@j_g_fitzgerald @jacqui76 I was blocked by many DUP MLAs and councillors, including the reps in my electoral area, because I posted published links to the poor behaviour of one who pretends to be a pious Christian when asked about her character. Every Little-Penny then told all that I was one of the worst trolls. I had a run-in with her after a 2am DM she sent me. Others allege🍷is regularly involved. She was furious that I made it public. I thought it was a joke at the time.

harriettmb,

When a DUP councillor sat in my home defending ‘local homes for local people’ after I asked him where that left me - a woman in my 60s from the Republic who is married here, reared two children here, and lived here for 40 years…. well, I have loathed every one of them since.

harriettmb,

@irelandpolitics @ownohmanny I’d love to see a new PSNI CC from RoI. Given they have Harris, ex-psni it would only be fair. Jeff would melt, which would make it perfect.

harriettmb,

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious @irelandpolitics Thompson was correct to do so. His article yesterday was very interesting indeed, and I hope others will follow his lead and engage. Jim Wells is the epitome of all that is the worst of Unionism, inward, negative, intransigent, misogynist, distrustful.

harriettmb,

@irelandpolitics @MadeyeTheCarnaptious Joe Brolly’s podcasts are great.

Good morning lovely people 💕
Today I give you William Morris 😁
Another warm one here, hoping everyone's day is off to a fabulous start!

harriettmb,

@DoubleTreble Morning DT. Love William Morris artworks. It’s definitely going to be a hot one, so Air-con on in the car, and a breeze as we sail to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 hopefully.

harriettmb,

@jacqui76 @DoubleTreble everything delayed. We have only just left the harbour!

harriettmb,

@jacqui76 @DoubleTreble They put a smaller boat on. It’s filled to the gills. And then they announced it was delayed because of ‘late arrivals’, and it still left even later than they said it would.

harriettmb,

@jacqui76 @DoubleTreble we paid for the premium lounge so we could stretch out in comfortable chairs, no kids and less people (covid aware/mask on here) : but this smaller boat doesn’t have that, so in with everyone else. Thankfully the hotel is only an hour from Holyhead so once checked in - a beer and bed will be much appreciated. We messaged them to let them know we will be later than we expected and not to sell our room !

harriettmb,

@murchadhfinn This is such an important point and missed in all the discussion to date, pretty much. It has not helped that media tend to divide NI into two categories Unionist/Nationalist; Loyalist/Republican; Protestant/Catholic and pit the opposition and negatives of both against each other. If this recognition brings moderate debate and highlights middle ground and common interests it will be beneficial to all. @irelandpolitics

harriettmb,

@murchadhfinn @irelandpolitics i used to follow him on the Dead Bird, as he’s quite good. But then they moved him to another post, away from his NI interests. He’s a bit of a voice in the wilderness, unfortunately.
