@implausibleblog This is pure class. Patrick Kielty too nailed the tone in a monologue on the late late show. the other week.on the same subject Both were children who grew up throughout the troubles and now as adults know a peace they thought then implausible.

@implausibleblog I seem to remember a guy called Jeremy Corbyn having a similar point of view! However, he got accused of being an antisemite and of siding with terrorists! ๐๐

@implausibleblog @M0d4y That was a brilliant speech, and unexpected on a programme like HIGNFY, well done Feargal and well done the rest of the panel for the applause for him, I think people were taken aback, but it was possibly the best way to do it.

@implausibleblog Feargal seems like a kind decent human being who is compassionate about the environment and other people. A good heart these days is hard to find. A good heart, the loving kind.

@implausibleblog I went to see and hear the concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall this evening. The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine were playing. It was a very emotional experience. We need peace in the world, in Ukraine and in Palestine. There has to be a ceasefire in Gaza. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

@implausibleblog Worth saying that when the ERG and the RW papers were recently saying that the GFA should be scrapped to enable Brexit, @bbcpolitics very rarely challenged them.

@implausibleblog @AndrewMeyerson We MUST demand peace; today, tomorrow, and alwaysโ for everyone, everywhere. If we can't find solutions without resorting to violence, then we've failed as a society. We MUST embrace peaceful alternatives and build a better world. ๐๐๏ธ #DemandPeace #PeacefulSolutions

@implausibleblog A full generation have been brought up with less violence, where the Troubles are history. That is such a good thing. Violence breeds violence. Peace breeds peace.

@implausibleblog The Good Friday Agreement could only be achieved initially with a ceasefire. Negotiations compromise and respect were achieved by courageous leaders. Peace was easy for the decent people on both sides, fed up with bombs and bullets Itโs the leaders who are the warmongers
