Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends.

No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda.

The Home Secretary, Mr. Blunkett chose to resign. There is a need to re-focus in line with characteristics of integrity, justice, equality and honour.........Administratively the vulnerable in Irish society are not being protected - nb the hospital/pension issue at present. To the PD and Fianna Fail Government
I read in amusement in Indymedia all week about criminality in modern Ireland. Now let’s see what type of criminals are we looking for here? Are these the ones in Halloween suits in South Armagh or in Dublin 4 suits in AIB? I read with interest a piece by Jarlath on criminality in Ireland. Now Mr. Jarlath – try and wake up, look around you, and tell me who is bleeding this country dry? It is not Sinn Fein, Jarlath but keep looking and if you are born with the common sense God gave you will know that your data is not totally correct.
I read with interest your last GAA data also. God, I am proud to be Irish, Jarlath and I am also proud of my Gaelic Irish background. My own people fought for this country but not the country we live in now. In the last week I read with sadness about our Health service and the immediate legislation to be passed through prior to Christmas to amend an ‘oversight’ re. pension payments to our elderly and more vulnerable members who are hospitalized and in nursing homes. To this I add the cost involved in these nursing homes – they are exorbitant and often funded by tax breaks (and again I would like to see more accountability here).
I listened to Fr. McVerry on the Late Late Show last night. He gave an excellent analogy of the widening gap in society over the last 10 years. Initially, he worked with the homeless but there was some hope, accommodation was a possibility and even a job. However at the time of the Celtic Tiger, accommodation became the problem and now work is a problem. To this add the switch from the middle class drug of cocaine to others. Heroin effects are more controllable to manage but Cocaine is psychoactive and the outcome is unpredictable with violence being a likely outcome. Fr. McVerry welcomed the pledge by the Government to Disabilities but he added to crucial points: the need for the bill to be rights based and enforceable. Enforcement poses a big problem for the vulnerable particularly in Ireland.
Let’s back to the coup of the week, it concerns the public relations coup of the infamous Martin Cullen and Miss Monica Bleach. Now the fact that Mr. Martin Cullen spent over 300,000 yo yo’s on PR advice and then ended up face down in a pile of bullshit – I do not know.
Now let’s go first to Miss Bleach who won’t get out of her bed for less than 800 yo yos a day. Now that alone has put this gobshite Cullen in this pile of bullshit and my tax and yours Jarlath is paying for it. Cullen has paid Miss Bleach a 116,000 yo yos this year alone and nobody in the country including Bertie or the Mad Mullah knows exactly what kind of advice this gobshite Cullen was getting off Miss Bleach. Could Cullen not get by with the legion of civil servants and press people employed at Government expense? In any other country, this gobshite would have been kicked out of Leinster House as soon as the story hit the headlines. But not in this modern Ireland. You see in Bertie’s modern Ireland Jarlath, there is a special place – either Tents at the Galway races or Dark Corridors in shady lanes, for chancers (Cucullen), PR handlers, Spin Doctors and Bull-Shit Merchants – all prosper and the rest of us pay for it.
Can somebody explain this word Criminality to me as brought up by the Minister McDowell and has caused a waft of Indymedia letters taking up the accusatory tone. I wish you all Happy Christmas and 2005 full of more bull-shit from Cucullen and Miss Bleach.
At least Mr. Blunkett (former Home Secretary) acted with integrity and honesty.
It is time for Ethics, Justice, Honour, Values to feature at the top of the New Resolutions list…………………

Gandhi say “ You have to be the change you want to see’
Time to move on perhaps Jarlath.
