Re: Anyone still glued to this?

Both Zelensky and Orban attended the inauguration of the new Argentinian president over the weekend. Both were placed suspiciously close together and words were exchanged. Anyone able to lipread?

Well said isha. Lots of people out there who will jump at the chance to wave a flag or protest over the barest whim, without being informed. Latent anarchists many of them with too much time on their hands!!!

Jesus Christ that is awful. I hope the children are okay. What a dreadful thing to happen. I don't know if it is immigration related. Nor do we know re the older woman stabbed in a random attack on Chatham Street last week. Or the 70 years old woman dragged along by a car robber in Roscommon yester...
