The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

An Excess of Pity: Why We Fail to Deport Those Whom We Should Deport Tue Apr 29, 2025 15:00 | Dr David McGrogan
Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Irelands UN peacekeepers, are imperialist butchers
About fucking time Ireland woke up and started having an empire.
Ireland must not commit troops to any sham cover operation for US/K occupation of Iraq.
It would be a massive political mistake for Ireland, destroying our credibility in the developing countries, and a huge betrayal to the memory of our troops who have died and been injured while on peace-keeping duties all over the world.
Fortunately at the moment it does not appear that the government have any intention of commiting troops except under a UN resolution, and such a resolution is highly unlikely unless the US changes it's position on command structure and self-determination for the Iraqi people.
Fippinger will now probably lose her home, her pension, even her freedom
Sitting in her modest two-bedroom home on the west Florida coast, Faith Fippinger begins to cry as she talks about the prospect of going to jail.
This spring, the 62-year-old retired schoolteacher decided to travel to Iraq as a human shield.
To many she is a humanitarian, but in the eyes of the US Government she is a criminal.

If Ahern manages to get his way and send Irish troops to the quagmire in Iraq, then we can be sure that some Irish soldier alive today will die needlessly. And for what. For lies, corruption but ultimately for serving the corporate interests. He and his family will be told it's for freedom but that is a lie.
The people of Iraq will await the arrival of the first Irish troops. There is plenty of sand to be filling bags like they are used to do.
The Iraqi resistance also learn to sign the word "BooM" for the poor deaf Irish soldiers.
Many thousand of the relatives of those who were bombed and murdered by planes and ordnance welcomed into Irelands Shannon also await first Irish soldiers too.
It's a good place to go for the Irish Army. Like their American masters, they will learn much. Don't worry or try to stop them. They will say that you are silly or disloyal. Instead wave them off from Shannon and know that they go into the arms of those who will take good care of them .
Where will Bertie fight, I wonder? In the dail bar with Coke and slice?
As the body bags mount it is time to send in the Timmy collins and the Royal Hunrish. No point wasting pure blue blooded brit soldiers on Iraqi soil when mongrel Hunrish blood will do just as well.
