One of my mutuals is genuinely such a horrible, evil, disgusting person I would have blocked them already if it weren’t for the fact they’re pro Ukraine.

Well that was unexpected.

This happened in killarney. The young lad who done it is called Edward Mellor. He is originally from England but moved to the killarney/killorgan area. He was talking to this elderly man in an alley beside the pub and knocked him out with a sucker punch for a Snapchat video.

Distance from Russia in Russias

Donbas will be Russian 😁

For me, Europe began in Ireland 🇮🇪. Today at the conference in Dublin, I shared some personal memories. As a teenager, I visited Ireland several times through a programme for children affected by the Chornobyl disaster. I stayed with Henry and Marian Deane in Roscrea, County Tipperary. I learned English here, and even a little Irish. I discovered another culture. But most importantly, I discovered another way of life. I saw that people could speak freely. That they could disagree with their government without being afraid. I was too young then to understand what democracy really meant. But I could feel what freedom was. That is something you never forget. Ireland helped shape me as a person, my values and my European identity. Long before I learned about the European Union, I experienced European values through ordinary Irish people. Through a family who opened their home to a girl from Belarus. Through neighbours who treated me as one of their own. Ireland also taught me another important lesson: You can love your country, your language and your traditions while remaining open to the world.
