- I'm one of those workers, Ivan, and I want nurses properly paid. I've also been paying your €70k pension since you quit as a TD at the age of 43, and that I'm not so happy about.
- It's not enough to be proud of this man, or to cheer his words. Is there one Minister with the guts to publicly propose that this becomes Irish government policy?
00:00 - Never have so few words exposed so many levels of ignorance.
- I'm not a "Come out ye Black & Tans" fan, except when Alan Partridge sings it. But I'm grimly aware today that many who are upset by that song expressed no anger whatever about homeless children eating off pavements.
- I've written critically about the police for decades. Listening to the dreary Gemma whine, I feel immense sympathy for this man, as he tries to protect public health.
00:00 - These people obviously have no problem wearing masks. So, I'm wondering why they organised an "anti-mask" "protest"?
- Journalism lecturer Jonathan Foster: “If someone says it’s raining & another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true.” #debates
- Micheál Martin made a case, in good faith, for rejecting Nphet advice - agree with it or not (I don't). Can anyone stand over allowing a sneering Leo Varadkar to casually trash the expert body on whose credibility public health measures depend? Reckless, abysmal, sickening.
- Love this, from Davos: A radical proposal. Smug, ignorant laughter. A billionaire asks a sneering question . . . And an academic calmly replies.
00:00 - Anger and clarity. James Baldwin said it best, and he said it in 1968.
00:00 - This is some speech. An opponent called Alexandra Ocasio Cortez a "fucking bitch". Yesterday, he refused to apologise for his "passion, loving my God, my family, and my country". He spoke of loving his daughters. AOC replied today. Longer speech at youtube.com/watch?v=LI4ueU…
00:00 - I wonder if the most helpful thing Mr Varadkar could do would be to stay in his office, doing whatever Tanaistes do? Say nothing, no photo ops. Just go away for a while. Give us a break from the relentless and embarrassing need to upstage other politicians. It's not helping.
- Uncertain how I'd vote in the Presidential election, until I heard Gavin Duffy on today's radio debate. He said we can have "more of the same" or him. More of the same it is, then. Thanks, Gav.
