    …Joan Burton has done some pretty dispicable things in the past few years but her grandstanding could put people behind bars for protesting…shame on her…

            I know what side I’m on and it ain’t the one with champagne socialists and Trotsky-ists like him. He is no friend of the poor.

  2. Daisy Chainsaw

    On the basis of the video evidence that the Gardai couldn’t find, despite it being on YouTube, there’s not a whole lot of “beyond a reasonable doubt” there.

      Lyndon B Johnson said “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” That’s not really unique to America or specific to black people. Remember that headline a couple of weeks ago expressing shock that Seany Fitz had to use a cafe that had people wearing tracksuits in it? Some folks LOVE to look down their nose at people. Mainly dirt poor people. They genuinely seem them as animals. You only have to look at how some “respectable” people even here talked about the folks in that protest. The verdict could go either way.

        What has that got to do with this case, I despise burton, but that wasn’t a peaceful protest.

      Spending his €100k + lump sum and €30k+ annual pension (plus his State Pension)…….

    I love how everyone on both sides knows the outcome already.
    Why do we bother with courts at all?

    Lock them up, instigate a revolution. That’s my hope.
    It could keep us entertained until Christmas.
