Predictably, flagging up this bad history on twitter prompted a number of Irish Republcans to call me out as a “Brit” They cannot challenge facts so they engage in tribal hated of folks like me who might wear an Ulster Rugby shirt on my X profile and then insist that we’d all be far happier in a United Ireland. Whatever… The tweet that enraged me is below and comes from a Natonalist Irish Pro Palestinian account.

I follow the account @AuschwitzMuseum on twitter. Each day, in fact several times a day, it sends out the bare details of someone sent to Auschwitz, usually accompanied by a photo. When they arrived and what was their fate. Say what you like about the Germans, they were damn good at record keeping so in most cases we do know the exact fate. Each day you see the smiling faces of little boys and girls in happier times. Most of those were sent straight to the gas chambers. It is an upsetting twitter account to folow but an unpleasant reminder that one’s daily upsets are really trivial, they mean nothing at all. Today’s tweet is below.
