Jesus, BBC news headlines is just a list of things Trump doesn't understand; literally. Zuckerberg is such a pathetic needy little freak. And Musk is just high all the time with no grasp on reality. Holy fuck, what a bunch of goddamned arseholes.

Not a peep out of them when the main cause of the fuel increases … Trump … was in the country. Not even a token tractor in Doonbeg! And obviously they have no problem with public transport fare hikes … funny that!

The only only sportsman and the only real man among them, standing head and shoulders above the cowards in the squad, the coaching staff and the FAI. This is how simple it is to do the right thing.
A statement from Ireland goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu that says: 

Representing my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my team mates, the Manager, his staff and the Irish people.

However I have reached a decision that I have not taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle therefore I feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.

My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.

There are few times where you get a chance in life to stand up for something bigger and I strongly believe that this is one of them.

So #Netanyahu, a child murderer and head of a rogue genocidal state claims all those who walked out on him at #UN as moral cowards, and alledges claims of genocide a lie. Sure, all those nations see you for what you are. A grubby war criminal.
