#POPEFRANCIS
Donald Trump discussed climate change and terrorism when he met with Pope Francis at the Vatican. @Govtofthetweeps tweeted: “Dope meets Pope: Trump visits Pope Francis. One believes deeply in God and Global Warming; the other believes deeply in himself.” @jacob4kids posted: “Trump is in the Vatican to make the case to Pope Francis that not even Jesus was treated as unfairly as him. It’s a Witch Hunt.” @raushenbush shared: “I pray that when meeting Pope Francis, Trump feels radical call of the Gospel, repents and begins to serve the poor instead of the powerful.” @Clydehaberman observed: “Master of bad timing: Trump met with Russians right after firing Comey. Now he proposes cutting aid to the poor just before meeting Pope Francis.”
#BRITTHREATLEVELS
Twitter delivered some stoic humour in the Manchester Arena bombing aftermath with jokes about the British character. @Andreewwwf posted: “Realising you’re walking the wrong way and you don’t have your phone to take out and frown at before changing direction.” @Welshdalailama said: “A waiter asks how your meal is going when you’ve *just* stuffed your gob to capacity with food.” @bookiesnacksize wrote: “Following someone through more than one set of doors and having to think of different ways to say thank you.” @Louisemensch tweeted: “‘Let’s all go around the table and say a little bit about ourselves’.” @wallaceme shared: “You couldn’t make out what someone said, so asked them to repeat it, but you still didn’t quite catch it.”
#MARTYNHETT
Twitter followers paid tribute to blogger Martyn Hett, who was named as one of the victims of the Manchester terror attack. @Liamlambrini said: “Martyn Hett you did not waste a day of your 29 years with us. You will be so sorely missed. An icon.” @Owenjones84 posted: “RIP Martyn Hett. Everything you can read about him shows he was a really loved and special guy. What a horrible loss to Stockport.” @callum_brown1 tweeted: “I’ve laughed & giggled away at Martyn Hett’s tweets so many times. He was a total star. Really saddened. Gutted for his friends and family.”
