FG Senator deletes tweet claiming Meghan Markle approved of abortion vote (Irish Times)
Meanwhile…
Great to chat with Meghan Markle, Duchess Of Sussex, about Repeal and the importance of her feminist activism. So important to have people in her position championing women’s rights. Total sounder! pic.twitter.com/Vjdquo45CP

But what about PROTOCOL?
Why am I shouting?

amazing how so stupid can get so far, then again, its on the taxpayers back isn’t it Noone?
the electorate rejected Noone and Kenny dumped her on us with the gift of a Senate seat
#mayomafia
she’s doing a decent trying-hard-to-look-interested face
can you imagine? No-one waffling about her inept Chairperson roll
We’ve all done that on honeymoon to be fair.
have avoided that so far
oops. Markle’s not supposed to express any political leanings publicly, I assume Senator Noone was asked to delete the tweet by somebody in the palace.
Shoulda told them to eff off. Noone isn’t beholden to the palace.
no, but its good to see No-one getting called out for lying – feelings and thoughts do not equal reality and MM did not say state the remarks attributed originally , ergo the climb down from No-one
Well Senator Noone is Leo’s running mate
For now
So I’d say she’s obliged to tow the line
Frilly, Leos running mate has been selected and its Austin Curries daughter Emer, twas just announced in my local freesheet a couple of days back. Plus Leo sent a letter in my door to say he is building four zebra crossings outside the local school, he is one busy man and I look forward to seeing him in his navvy gear shortly
“MM did not say state the remarks attributed originally”
Were you there Baz?
Probably bad form to quote her off-the-cuff, off-the-record remark.
Both of those things.
She’s still learning, which is not an excuse her husband can claim, and he’s always putting his foot in it and getting political.
a deliberate and ham fisted tweet.
Yup.
her and una mullaly had pics up saying they met her and discussed repeal. why? why discuss repeal? its over, we won a basic human right. why go on about it so proudly, when most other civilised (and not) already have it. endlessly patting ourselves on the back to other countries for doing something basic.
because we fought really hard for it and we’re perfectly entitled to be proud of that.
I’m very pleased that it was repealed as well, but if I was being introduced to someone at a function, I tend to limit my chat to things like the weather and how their trip over was, etc…
Maybe she brought it up. Maybe she was told Una was very active in the Repeal movement. Maybe she was following the story and recognised Una’s name.
says Rob_G, wondering why he rarely gets invited to parties
Yes
Starina
But job done (ish)
Still more to do etc
And d’ya know what?
AFAIC
It’s not the only thing,
Repealing the 8th,
We are capable of doing and tbh
If that’s all people want to think about or have themselves remembered for
Well
It’s going to be as pretty short read of accomplishments
We’re nowhere near full equality and inherent acceptance in this Country
Intolerance and Institutional forebearance is still a very strong current we are swimming against
And still getting nowhere
If Una and Co want to keep celebrating and congratulating themselves with this particular landmark, then it just shows them to be single track and with no real game for the long haul to turn this County into the Republic our Grandparents were promised
That.
Or maybe they have nothing else to say about themselves and are struggling for satisfy their lust for positive attention. Which is very sad and probably short changes their readers and followers
But that’s all their problems
Not mine
Cool story, bro.
“… to turn this County into the Republic our Grandparents were promised”
– I thought that the entire point of the recent referenda was to move away from the Dev and dancing at the crossroads and all that.
Proclamation was 1916
Which I hold to be the promise of A Republic
That dancing maidens and crossroads carry-on was nearly 30 years later
Still no ratification.
And no news on that court case either; The one where Leo and Simon and others are accused of deliberately abandoning their duty to protect the constitution so they could push the for-profit-baby-killing-machine.
Why the silence?
Lie, cheat and steal: It’s the one real move Liberal sheet-heads have.
Repeal or no repeal Abortion is still murder.
Ah bless
The Irish Times story somewhat remiss of pointing out that one of their own, Una Mullally, tweeted essentially the same thing and left it there. Protocol breach. Presbyterian Notes will never the same.

Facts, etc.
I called the Irish times newsdesk. they said they weren’t aware that Mullaly was at the reception. I pointed out that she was.
