This is very cool – who knew the famous British artist, L.S. Lowry once visited and sketched my home town of Skerries? If anyone has a spare £12k, you can buy it for me here…

This morning.
Via The Irish Times:
The “Russian state-affiliated media” designation by Twitter appears on Mr Galloway’s profile and on tweets posted on the network. Mr Galloway said in a statement that Twitter’s “unjust labelling of honestly held political views is the New McCarthyism and it must be held accountable”.
He rejected Twitter’s assertion and denied that he was ever “Russian state-affiliated media”. Being labelled as such was “perverse, unjust and highly damaging”, he said.

Have some Dublin in the background – but the Dublin Mountains are much prettier!
