Judging from the layout I’m guessing that horrifying text is from the sindo. In which case the editor is Cormac Burke (Fionnan Sheehan the main honcho for the other 6 days, from my understanding.) Credit where credit is due.

I know it’s an overused comment, but that would really not be out of place as a Waterford Whispers piece.
I cannot believe a publication that wants to be taken seriously would actually print that.

What a pack of morons. Which reminds me I haven’t called Barry Egan a derogatory name in a while.

Did they say ‘population’ or ‘politician’ control ?

That Senator had the right idea all along, and yet none of us listened…

We all just laughed.
Next we’ll see all those deafness claims from the ice-cream vans.
Bodger, didn’t post this video of a dancing seagull when I sent it in. Presumably, because he has his own hate agenda for the species. I’m leaving it here, to demonstrate the not all seagulls are baby killers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-6l-905zD0

Between them being vilified in the newspapers and Welsh arseholes making them dance for food, the Seagulls need a civil rights movement.

The only thing worse than the Irish Independent is the people who read it.

Its Ireland’s best-selling paper, so you don’t like a lot of Irish people.

Well since most people now days get their news from the radio or online (jaysus, even my 72 year old father is rocking the internet), then yes, we hate those people too.

“Its Ireland’s best-selling paper, so you don’t like a lot of Irish people.”
Sounds about right.

All it takes for Irish papers to consider you an expert is to start an awareness group. This guy is just an expert in hating gulls.

i dont get all the sudden hatred of sea gulls .. saying theyll go for babies is farcical. but to run a ‘national enquirer’ style headline is what i expect from the independent now .. the proof of how they are NOT a broadsheet is that their ‘news’ is in line with the effin Star.

There’s a linked opinion piece titled “These intelligent, ruthless gulls have no fear of man”
Keep the people afraid.
Sounds like a pretty decent method of population control to me
…I see Fionnan is finally begining to make his mark at the Indo..
Indeed

I, for one, welcome our new seagull overlords.

I think they might just be satire now.
In 1994, a seagull swooped down over the campsite in Lahinch and stole a fish from our barbecue.
(i) What if you replaced the word ‘fish’ with ‘innocent baby’?
(ii) That was 20 years ago – surely the seagulls methods have only become more devious in the meantime?
They’ve reached their full beak.
Have you been listening to Sen. Lorraine Higgins or wha?
Surely they cant believe we’re this gullible?
Ugh…that terrible pun has already been done, if only there was some sort of bird that might swoop down and take me away in my embarrassment…..
They can’t lift sinks.
I always associated Armitage Shanks with toilet bowls, I suppose that shows the type of comedy I like.
