There will be plenty of those on both sides of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The policy of promoting the extremist view will always result in lone nutter attacks. It is inevitable. In both Israel and Iran (both being dusty shitholes with extremist theocratic governments) they'll general...

So no evidence then. Thanks. I never suggested that you said that. I asked you a question, which you don’t want to seem to answer. Firstly, I have been a lot closer to westminster politics than you have ever been and that is for sure. Secondly, your question whether I believe the victims of the Gol...

Never suggested that the victims of the attack in Golders Green deserved it and it is a really stupid question by the way.…login to view the rest of this post

The need to export oil through the Straits of Hormuz is 'humanitarian' now is it? I can't see Trump being daft enough to send USN vessels into the Straits of Hormuz as he'd be risking the sinking of a US navy vessel by drone or missile attack. There's a reason the aircraft carrier group around the U...

How? I haven’t seen anything of this kind so please provide evidence, which we all know you won’t have. I am asking you very specifically now: do you think that the people who were attacked at Golders Green deserved this, and why? It is the entire reason for the existence of AIPAC and AIPAC funding...

It is a bank holiday weekend and I can't really be arsed? I'm not sure why you have become fixated on my posts on this thread as some kind of personal 'gotcha' moment. Just to be clear I have pointed out that the failure of the gardai to seize tractors and HGV units for blocking roads is a political...

The charge of antisemitism is clearly being used as a cloak to try to suppress criticism of zionism and the apartheid state of Israel. It is the basic technique used by Israeli propagandists.

Do you think you may have strayed from the subject somewhat in order to carry out some kind of personal battle in which, quite frankly, I'm not in the least bit interested?

Could also be a reflection of the fact that one fanatical minority middle eastern religion has managed to capture British politics in the same way it did so in the USA.

I wouldn't be a fan of any middle eastern religion or any religion at all being given sacred cow status in European politics.

Sure, the only thing you have to do now is figure out how any of it helps Enoch Burke and his clan. Once you've done that by way of the Road Traffic Act and what the Burkes owe to the state do come back and let us all know.

Why would you have to know a jewish person, or a Palestinian person for that matter in order to have an opinion on what the Israelis are doing in Palestine? Do you have to personally know an Uyghur to either support their attempts at a Caliphate in the middle of China or know personally a Chinese pe...

Cheers. Have a nice day.

Do the same rules apply to Melania Trump?

I stand by it. I want to see recovery of civil costs.

If ICE arrested 400,000 people and 60% of them had convictions that does mean that 40% of them didn't. A more interesting picture may emerge with data on what number of arrests they made of US citizens who could prove they were US citizens at time of arrest. And of course there is also data to come ...

FF and FG together only mustering 34%... they'll go under 30% between them soon enough.

Lumpy, Have another go with this. You seem to be of the opinion that it’s ok to seize vehicles belonging to the Burke’s and not the vehicles that blocked our public roads just because of the large numbers involved in the recent fuel protests! So how many of the Burke family's vehicles were actually...

I'm defending nothing. I'm just pointing out to you that it isn't the Gardai's job to inflame tensions around protests either. Their role is to keep the peace and de-escalate where there are tensions. That's part of policing. Which may not cheer up the 'hang 'em and flog em' brigade but that's anoth...

I asked you this but you forgot to answer, Do you believe that the protesters at the recent blockades over the price of fuel should have been arrested and their vehicles seized ? I also explained to you that it’s not the job of the politicians to keep our public roads clear, That job belongs to the...

I'd much prefer Mammy, Ammo and Enoch Burke to have been clamped to be honest. A long time ago. It isn't a bad idea. At one time scolds were muzzled so I see no reason why we shouldn't reintroduce clamping for people. In a way we already do with ankle-monitors and GPS systems. Just make the ankle mo...

Anyway. Going back to our hero Enoch Burke I believe he resides in Castlerea prison currently. Not sure what the status of Mammy and Ammo Burke are after the High Court issued orders that they be detained for repeated contempt of court at the back end of March. I suspect the next thing will be the d...

Quite true. If someone pressed me on my knowledge of the Road Traffic Acts in Ireland I'd be on shaky ground. Secondly I am referring to the fact that acts of rebellion are generally illegal but quite often lauded thereafter, wholly dependent on how much public support there is for them. When untold...

Since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested approximately 400,000 individuals.Of these arrests, roughly 60% (about 240,000 people) had some form of criminal charge or conviction. So just to remind you that's at least 240,00 c...

I know what you’re posting but I don’t like guesses when we are dealing with the law. They didn’t seize “ the Burke family vehicles ” because Enoch was sent back to jail. You should have known this. I was familiar with the blockades on the motorway outside Cashel and it was not nice! The reason for...

That’s nothing to do with you not knowing it’s illegal to block public roads! Not so much that I'd be unaware but to be honest more a case of not caring in the slightest. Probably illegal also to view the tipping of an Oireachtas into the Liffey every now and then but I'd still view it as highly de...
