Every political assertion or slogan should be given an #inversionTest. If the inverse is meaningless, so is the proposition. If the inverse would be supported by nobody, then the proposition is vapid.
Try it on #Starmer's tweet:
"Strength through fairness." Who prefers unfairness, or weakness?
"Hope for the future." Who's against hope?
"Real answers to the challenges facing our country.". Who prefers despair? Or fake answers?
Ireland has a technical term for this comms: #Bollix.
Dr #EoinDrea is a senior researcher at the #WilfriedMartensCentre, the official think tank of the #EuropeanPeopleParty (#EPP) of which #FineGael #FG is a member.
FG will probably try to disown Eoin Drea. They will says this is just a personal opinion by an academic researcher etc, that it's obviously not in any way FG's position.
That is of course #bollix. EPP staff don't go placing op-eds on highly sensitive #foreignpolicy issues without some liaison with the local EPP member party.
#FIFY
It's disgraceful that news media continue to publish such drivel. Here in Ireland the technical term for this headline is #bollix.
The USA has all the power needed to halt Israeli agression immediately. But it chooses not to use that power. ๐ก

Alongside tea and crisps we found another thing that divides us
#mastodonie #mastodaoine #ballox #bollox #bollix #bollocks #ballix (that last one's Belfast I learned)
First time doing a poll! The mastodonie user rules are under "About this server" https://mastodon.ie/about/more They're great but it should be spelled.... [ ] Ballox - the Mastodonie lads are right [ ] Bollox - nice and round [ ] Bollix - like a Dublin mammy [ ] Bollocks - like a country farmer
