DUBU works for the situation in France, too. Unprecedented being the Unprecedented level of stupidity and arrogance of the right in France that has led to this situation.

I saw it advertised and thought, Oh god, no, I'm not watching that.

So Sebastian Lecornu lasted less time as PM in France in office than Liz Truss, who lasted as UK PM for less time than the lifetime of a lettuce.

It also makes the country unsafe for women who don't look stereotypical feminine or whatever way women are expected to present. Imagine a woman going through chemo, lost her hair, maybe she had a mastectomy, an extreme case, but not impossible.

#speirgorm #Aras25 please if you have 5 minutes let heather@heatherforpresident.ie know that throwing trans people and EU human rights law under the bus is not a vote winner.

France - Lecornu has resigned as French PM just after naming his cabinet. That has to be another record for Macron

For the record: it is not possible, at this juncture, to officially withdraw or to remove a name from the #aras25 ballot paper.

Jim Gavin’s name will remain on the ballot for Friday 24th, merely with no campaign behind it.

we’ve hit GUBU territory very early in this election cycle and then there’s the budget on Tuesday. What a shit show! Martin’s going to have to go, right? #SpeirGorm #Aras2025

Irish politics is a spectator sport & I don't know any other country that enjoys the spectacle as much
#speirgorm
Nn & if there are more twists can they be before bedtime please?

I remember getting attacked by Americans over on Twitter, not understanding that Ireland has its own constitution over that one.

I’m still thinking about Gavins response to the question on the #womenofhonour -he saw nothing, he knew nothing-and he wants to be President? Can you imagine him responding as our previous presidents have done to issues as national trauma! He’s the see nothing,do nothing candidate #speirgorm #aras25

Esp when you consider all legal drones have a warning that launching in the park is not permitted.

Someone ignored that, had to click to launch the drone illegally or else the drone it's self is an illegal make and not permitted to fly here at all.

It's grand in Roscommon. Wasn't bad here yesterday anyway, a few gusts of around 100kph in the afternoon and some heavy rain, but it wasn't bouncing off the ground like a couple of weeks ago in Le Havre. #SpéirGorm

Yikes

“Catherine is right. I was asked. I gave a strong recommendation. I see no problem with that and I’m surprised that anybody does,” Mr Ó Cuív told the Irish Independent.

“My view at the time was that if you want to bring about peace, you have to take these steps. And time has proved me 100pc right.”

The UK wouldn't meet the requirements in the acquis communitaire, and given that some politicians want to leave the European Convention of Human Rights which is a requirement of COE membership and COE membership is a requirement for EU membership, they're making rejoining difficult for themselves

Just listening to Steen complaining about ‘an elite clique’. Oh the irony!
(We’re now gonna get reams of opinion pieces from the silenced pair, Davey & Breda 🤦🏻‍♀️).

It's gas that when people talk about male immigrants or visitors coming from conservative countries being a threat to women, they don't mean white American men, I wonder why not 🤔 because, conservative Americans from the USA are a threat to European values #SpéirGhorm #Europe

At this point the ultra rich, who are showing their true colours, are just coming across like an entitled cartoon version of Spectre. Imagine calling an economist who believes in a 2% tax on the assets of the ultra rich an extremist. www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...

Dr Nick Maynard in Cork

"Israeli soldiers were targetting particular parts of the body on particular days. One day, it was head and neck. One day, chest. One day, legs. One day, testicles. Target practice.
I would not have believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes."

- Dr Nick Maynard speaking in Cork.

And - Professor Nick Maynard, consultant surgeon, Oxford UH, reports that Israeli border guards seized infant formula from his fellow Doctors entering Gaza. Children died unnecessarily as a result. #Gaza #Cork

The cognitive dissonance in women in paid employment saying they're losing sleep over an individual who didn't think women were people, who didn't think women should have control over their lives, bank accounts is disturbing.

I just wonder how well they're vetted given rise in far right activity in Ireland with some backing from the US

The USCIS. Though Ireland may have inadvertently accommodated an ICE flight refuelling at Shannon a few months back.

And remember, there are ICE officials in Ireland, it is advisable not to marry them either. How well are they vetted by Irish authorities before living and working in Ireland, and are they and their children if they have any, properly vaccinated?
