  • Fianna Fail’s Ireland

    ,

    I never considered emigration; until now. Not because of Ireland’s debt or related problems but because of the people who have put themselves in charge of this treehouse club, this joke of a country that is without a shred of democracy, this poodle of the EU and any other power that wants us to break…

  • Lost the ability to criticise?

    ,

    What is it with the modern era? I know personally that whenever I express genuine concern or lack of faith in something that I find to be either worthless, dubious, or simply lacking moral guidance, I find myself being shunned and “opinion barred” by both professional and personal acquaintances. What is it about criticism (constructive…

  • Cullen settles Liveline libel case – Times Online

    ,

    As one minister is subjected to “the biggest, worst libel in Irish history”, another has settled a long-running libel action. It has emerged that Martin Cullen, the retiring minister for arts, sport and tourism, has been paid damages and legal costs by RTE over a lewd remark on Liveline in 2004. The broadcaster confirmed yesterday…

  • Scumbag Culture – Part 2

    ,

    “When integration is actually exclusion despite what the letter of the law says.” Towards the end of 2009 I published the first of a planned series of articles on the tide of scumbag culture that is sweeping over the country. Detailing the attitude of many who are branded as “disadvantaged” and “minorities” but whom through…

  • Lisbon: A Final Word

    ,

    This Friday the people of Ireland will go to the polls and at this moment in time I have no doubt that the Lisbon Treaty will be approved by a majority YES vote. Yes, I advocate the NO vote but so too am I realistic with respect to the current state of play. Without offence…

  • I predicted it!

    ,

    A couple of weeks back I was talking to Siân about what I perceived as the shameless pro-YES campaign being run for the Lisbon Treaty. I’ve been taking notes of the kind of voices that are being given air time from the NO side and the amount of YES side commentary and blatant lies that…

  • “Dire-land” – FT.com

    ,

    A clever and appropriate nomenclature coined by John Murray Brown of FT.com to summarise Ireland at the moment. Our Emerald Isle is looking more like a junk shop, jade dragon – cheap, useless, outdated, and fragile. On one hand our country is fighting the evil of wreckless developers and their associated debts while on the…

  • Lisbon II – What’s Changed?

    Last October the Irish people went to the polling booth to have their say on the Lisbon Treaty – the result was a definite NO. The path is now being paved for a second vote on the treaty; So, what’s changed? Before the first Lisbon vote, many people had a great number of concerns about…

  • Green but only with envy

    When the Green party in this country were sucked into power last year by the great vacuous siphon of Fianna Fáil, I thouhgt to myself, this is no longer a party of idealists and tree huggers led by the political incarnation of Duncan from About the House; this is a Marxist and Sellout Party. Sadly…
