Makes sense. He has a huge ego and the Websummit is one big ego trip for him. I volunteered there once and was surprised by the worshiping of some of his 'followers'. There was one guy who's entire job description seemed to be going around and comparing Paddy to Steve Jobs...


Here's his original tweet: https://twitter.com/paddycosgrave/status/1712790539844612553...

> I’m shocked at the rhetoric and actions of so many Western leaders & governments, with the exception in particular of Ireland’s government, who for once are doing the right thing. War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are.


Truly a day for the ages.
