For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Trump Was Right to Skewer Starmer Over Britain?s ?Windmills Scam? Wed Jul 30, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Trump was right to skewer Starmer over Britain's "windmills scam" when he met him in Scotland this week, says Ben Pile. It was a cringefest worthy of The Office, but Starmer can't afford to ignore the President?s warning.

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1We have to cope with not living in an ideal world; people are now openly sexually active, for good or ill, & it's better they use condoms than spread diseases & incur unwanted pregnancies. The times before sexual permissiveness weren't a golden age either.
I think it is wishful thinking to demand free access to condoms, lubricants, spermicides and other acccompaniments to safe easy sex. Since the liberating 1960s sex has become a recreational commodity and in the world of market driven commerce this commodity along with all other commodities has been advertised with a view to exploiting its profitability. It has become one more superhyped item for sale, an erotic part of the consumerist culture of western and other societies. I don't refer to prostitution but the sale of contraceptives, sex aids, sexy clothing, women's and men's body sprays and other aroma enhancing toiletries, and romantic tourism including youth rave holidays on the costa del wherever. Big business has made big global business of all these accrutements - and it isn't going to let go of a going concern. There is no such thing as free sex.
Condoms ought to be freely issued by family planning clinics surely.

Lots more there too, for the next four years. Condoms and Catholics made the news headlines.
