“Ireland will continue to uphold the ideals of the #UnitedNations & work with the international community to achieve the aims that #Mandela himself worked so tirelessly for during his lifetime.” ~ Taoiseach Leo Varadkar speaking at the Nelson Mandela Peace Summit #UNGA pic.twitter.com/7zfpITXETu

This afternoon.
United Nations, New York, United States.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar addresses the Nelson Mandela Pea Summit.
Snow peas or sugar snap peas: will we ever reach consensus?

what’s the major horn for being on the security council? Does Leo think this will be his “legacy”? Doesn’t he know his failure to help the homeless will be remembered long after this UN stupidity ends..
Ireland should act like the neutral country we are. Spend all our money on houses and hospitals. Anything left over can go on people wanting to play army abroad and get a nice tan.
+1
ugh
I think I’m going to be sick in my hands
What did Fine Gael do to get Mandela out of jail? John Bruton was more interested in trade with the apartheid state than human rights

Yes, Leo should be held responsible for FG’s foreign relations policy from when he was four years’ old…
Heres an idea Leo. Recognise Palestine. Be on the right side of history.
Solidarity PBP have a member of the Black Panthers coming to give a speech in the next few weeks.
well, if ever a people needed to discover some backbone..
Solve homelessness and kill whitey?
by any means necessary.. isn’t that what was done to save the banks?
He’s an excellent global ambassador for us. Enda was too surprisingly.
Simon Coveny who’s also on this trip,is shockingly articulate,bright and quite funny and witty in person,he’s extremely personable and likable.Enda hammed it up a little too much for my taste,was always grinning and playing to the cheap seats, lacked gravitas.
Dennis O’Brien is rumored to be in NY meeting with Citibank his advisors on the proposed Digicel bond swap, probably just a coincidence…………
“probably just a coincidence……’ Joke of the day. Just ironing out the broadband sop perhaps?
…they all have get back for a vote on housing tomorrow,probably a little unlikely they have much time for DOB on this visit….
Hi Bodger,
Talking of Africa this extraordinary piece of journalism by BBC Africa deserves a wider audience.
Using resources like topographical maps, satellite maps & social media (alongside good old fashioned sources) they identify the soldiers filmed killing women and children in a viral clip.

harrowing, of course – but extraordinary work by bbc
Thanks for pointing that out Ollie
Perhaps pictures of a chicken-based sandwich filling are more the target audience after all.
in a similarish vein, this is interesting

It’s called the Mengele Effect.
Nice headline.
Speaking of which, The Mandela Effect proves beyond all reasonable doubt that there really are people who are too stupid to vote.
didn’t brexit already prove that?
Of course there are also some people so stupid they need to be told to vote a second time to produce the required result …
do you realise that every time you repeat that erroneous claim you make yourself look a little bit thicker?
The day Ireland died of shame old cock.
Whipped into line by a now-disgraced French martinet.
But it laid the groundwork for the Troika to steamroller through Ireland’s soul and make future generations pick up the tab for the cowardice and ineptitude of their elected politicians.
okie-dokie
Keep it up old bean, the 6 will be ours sooner than you think. Please tell your lot not to burn anymore buildings down in belfast though,we might need them, you see we’re not.that great at building stuff ourselves. Slainte
The six will be yours soon ?
I certainly hope so.You’re more than welcome to them.
People in Blighty don’t give a toss about Ireland,north or south.
Frankly most Brits think both sides of the border are frequented by bigoted,retarded dunces best left to killing each other in huge numbers.
Frankly they even prefer the Scots to the Paddies.
Trouble is according to every poll that has been done people in Ireland don’t want the six counties and a majority of Catholics in the North prefer to stay in the UK.
And let’s be honest 30 years of killing by the RA didn’t bring a united Ireland one centimetre closer.
But dream on as you change your Wolfe Tone CD.
Great, so we’re agreed then. we’ll have a bonfire in your honour, old cock.
For a self funded man you have very little to do so. Unless you are just a jobless layabout of course.
I am wealthy.I cannot deny it.Please don’t judge me for having a few bob.I did work hard for it.Unfashionable as it now seems.
Yes dear.
You’re welcome.
Tell us again how many pyrite filled shoe boxes you bought with your “fortune”..
Flipping gaffs always ends in tears..
