Of all the British songs that GB News Music Radio could have chosen for their promo, they’ve dropped an absolute bollock here unless of course someone is having a bit of a giggle 😂😂😂

This show was excellent last night - heartbreaking too. Shows how the state treats ordinary people when their interests clash with truth, justice and money.

Nothing ironic. Nothing sardonic. This Quebecoise stuff doing the rounds is brilliant.

Oh these Quebec folk songs keep getting better and better! Who could have imagined Québécois music going viral on the X timeline? This beautiful kind of rustic village music is well overdue for a comeback!

Excellent story here on the Ireland vs Israel debacle. Gavin Bazunu being attacked from within the camp is disgraceful. He’s the one person in this whole affair to make a stand on principle.

Can't remember the last time I had read the words 'mainly nationalist' in conjunction with the Garvaghy Road in a news piece. You'd wonder why anyone would want to go back to those years...

Today I have written to the head of the UK Football Policing Unit after its disgraceful attempt to link alcohol with the Hillsborough disaster following the Prime Minister’s call to ease restrictions at football matches. Alcohol did not cause Hillsborough. The behaviour of supporters did not cause or contribute to the disaster. These are the authoritative, factual conclusions of the inquests and the independent investigations. They are not matters of opinion. Thirty-seven years on, when will policing authorities finally accept the truth and stop perpetuating the lies and smears created in the aftermath of the disaster? Enough is enough. #JFT97
