Thanks for your input, murderer...

Well that’s a phrase I ain’t heard from a Labour leader in the last 23 years...”when we came to power...” thanks momentum(!) 🤨

And in 3, 2, 1....... “wHaT aBoUt IrAq!?!”

Old school boys political .. .

BBCPolitics And in 2020/21, we risk it all, just to appease a deluded minority... 🤷‍♂️

Not a time to start feeling gloomy, rather it's time to start outliving all of the messages which Hume was phenomenally known for. All political establishment in NI must get all of their political differences slaughtered so as to create a John Hume's sort of lovable Irish World.

What a bloody hero Tony Blair is. All these bloody conspiracy theories about him being a war criminal. These people are all deluded if you ask me! All the best, Barry x

Why interview a war criminal about a peacemaker?

Tony blair the appeaser. 'it can be done', well ya if you capitulate and sell out your country like Blair did on so many things. Easy when you give the other side so much of what they want.

It has been a great moment for me, in particular, having to read through of all the lasting legacies left behind by the Irish progenitor of peace John Hume. Fortunately, for the late octogenarian, he was around 2 witness the political reset made in NI by the Tory PM John Johnson.

Obviously a good bloke. RIP.

A very brave man. Some of us walked through the dust of explosions in London on our daily commute. John Hume helped me look at garbage bins without dread again. Rest in Peace.

Rip mr Hume 💙

It is a shame that the gift of the Peace prize to Obama has devalued subsequent awards completely :( now any old OBomber can get it !
