Can someone with a bit of know how please put up #gategate on here. I’m in hysterics reading the threads 🤣🤣🇮🇪💚
The Poke did one of their collections of Twitter responses for Gate-gate. It being Ireland, and the lorry being from a company that provides ecclesiastical supplies, there were one or two Father Ted jokes. Of course, I should point out that reversing a lorry into an embassy gate is not a very good idea. Don't try this at home, kids.
An embassy counts as the soil of the country the embassy is for, right? So where does that actually begin, is it on the outside of the wall, or the inside? If you ram the gates of the Russian embassy, are the gates in Ireland or Russia? If it's Russia then what offenses have been committed in Ireland? Technically is the course of events: - Driving along in Ireland, not endangering anyone, sticking to the speed limits - Enter Russia and immediately hit an obstacle - Immediately return to Ireland
Could the Irish government rightfully say that if the Russians want anything done then they're going to have to apply to extradite the driver, which legally the Irish government wouldn't be able to do if they didn't believe he'd get a fair trial in Russia.

My understanding is that the gates are in Russia. However, since the lorry was reversing, the driver himself was in Ireland throughout the incident.
Born in Canada but brought up and educated in Gravesend. However, when in Milan, he talks like the Milanese would do. What a fine example to any footballer thinking of playing abroad.
