I wonder was this Russian spy the one who planted the bombs in Monaghan and Dublin? Or who covered up for them? That was the Russians wasn't it? BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3221 - 06/10/2024 22:02:55 2573364 Link 1 |

Britain is America's poodle at this stage and is no longer a major world power.

If what has been leaked is true then there was no criminal offence. Rather sad affair really. The way they protected the monstrous brother of the former leader and others means they have no moral grounds to be talking about anyone else. Mary Lou made catastrophic error in upping the ante by claiming she knows stuff about the others. She really doesn't want to go there....

I wonder if all these latest developments, both here and abroad, means that we won't after all be seeing that rather " colourful" character on a ballot paper in our capital. I was looking forward to seeing how that would have played out. Freethinker (Wicklow) - Posts: 1297 - 25/10/2024 08:41:04 2576805 Link 0 |

Britain may be Americas poodle but what is America to Israel? Amazing how such a tiny country can hold the worlds no1 superpower to ransom. Israel running the show. Whatever they want they get.

Don't worry, there's another "colourful" character saying he'll run for president next year. So we won't be bored.

They get the blame for it because they sold out their voters and backed it to the hilt. There's a clip, think it's still on YouTube, of Ruari Quinn announcing planned housing legislation in the Dail and Richard Boyd Barrett essentially saying (and I'm paraphrasing here) . . "Party politics aside, please please don't do this. You will railroad the country into a housing crisis" A strong Labour, who stood by their manifesto when elected, would be a great governing party indeed.
