English rural customs are under attack like never before. First they came for fox hunting and now even traditional diesel thieves peacefully going about their nocturnal business are hounded by the ultra-woke police. Urban lefty liberals are trampling all over the ordinary country folk. #Fairford

If you were a farmer who spotted dodgy lads in vans and you wanted a rapid response from the police, would you call and say a) there are men hanging around my farm, or b) people are acting suspiciously near the RAF base and some of them look Middle-Eastern?

Apparently Trump was working closely with "Scotland Yard" to track a bunch of diesel thieves robbing farms in Gloucestershire. Truly, this man will never sleep until we're all safe.

And now the Israeli thugs are issuing death threats against the people of Ireland. The world's most moral genocidaires.

Football nerds might know the answer to this. Was last night the first time that a former Irish government minister sat with the opposing team’s travelling contingent and cheered for the opposition?

Asking an Icelandic football coach to comment on a match that happened 90 years ago, an Israeli propagandist masquerading as a journalist neglected to mention the full list of countries that played against Germany between 1936 and 1939. 1/3

Craven as ever, two top FAI executives sat at the press conference and left Heimir Hallgrímsson on his own to cope with aggressive political grilling from Israeli journalists, including a question about a match against Nazi Germany 90 years ago.

Failing to grasp that the Kennedy Center is a memorial, Trump wants his name in it. That's like wanting your name on somebody else's headstone.

Wasn't it a good thing the Nazis' power to silence their critics didn't have the same worldwide reach as Israel?

A government rep assured listeners to RTÉ this morning that increased public transport prices would go towards providing transport infrastructure. It comes as a great comfort to those who live west of the Shannon that their higher bus fares will help Dublin to get more trains. @mcculld.bsky.social

"Christian" is a strange name to give a child, isn't it? Christian Bale. Slater. Dior. You never hear of anyone called Scientologist Murphy or Hindu McGonagle. Mormon Browne. Jew Jackson. The name is Bond. Muslim Bond.

€22 billion for Metrolink. Still, it could be worse. Imagine if Ireland had other regions besides Dublin that needed transport infrastructure.

It's impossible to imagine Ed Sheeran being neutral on rape, child trafficking or slavery. Could it be because no secret cabal of rape apologists, child traffickers or slave traders ever threatened to cancel his shows?

Unionists are often depicted as intransigent, and it's easy to see why. But it's hard to demand flexibility on a united Ireland when so many people in the south won't even compromise on having a new flag and anthem. It seems to me that what they really want is not unity but absorption.

More bible study. In the Old Testament, God kills - at an absolute minimum - two million people, mostly in horrible, agonising episodes of mass torture. Meanwhile Satan kills nobody at all, though he does afflict one man with painful sores. Boo!

Me to AI: From your inability to pick up on subtle ironic humour, I deduce that you're either some kind of computer program or more likely American AI to me: I'll take "occasionally slow on the uptake" over "humourless American" any day, though I can't rule out being some kind of computer program

What a time to be alive. America has started a war against Iran that it can’t win, but which has the potential to cripple the world’s economy and spiral into a world war. 1/

The way Trump growls lately, he seems to be channelling Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. It makes sense. Pathetic old wuss tries to sound like old tough guy.

My current favourite Bible story is the one where a crowd of children taunt the prophet Elisha for his baldness. Elisha curses the children so the Lord sends bears to rip 42 of them to pieces. Don't fuck with the prophet.

Trump's critics are saying that he should be among his own people on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks and not flying off to some tournament on the other side of the Atlantic. But of course, he will be with his own people: golfers.
