Is Broadsheet loading painfully slow for anyone else for the past week? Both on mobile and desktop?

Yeah on mobile it’s a disaster

I find I have to refresh mid load as it hangs (on the mobile). The refresh seems to jolt it into loading properly.

ahahahahahahahahhhh

It’s as slow as Donal Óg Cusack admitting to the second worst kept secret about him. We all knew he did Woody “Poor Harvey” Allen for Tom Humphries. He should give the proceeds of his book Come What May to the RCC.

wow…Lysette Anthony the face of the 80’s….
I did not recognise her at all had to imdb
that Weinstein is some piece of work

I did some background reading on the Joshua Boyle episode, what an imbecile. Who brings their pregnant wife hiking in Afghanistan? After being rescued he refuses to board any US aircraft.

He seems like a right weirdo.

Was also married to a sister of a gitmo detainee.

Something odd about him alright.
Junkface
Exactly! What an idiot! He was almost asking to be kidnapped. These deluded western types in extremely dangerous, hostile foreign countries, its almost like a turn on for them. What did he expect?!
Mustn’t criticise Islam! Bizarre the lefts blindspot towards a group of ideas from the 7th century that should have no relevance today.
Yep
They brought out Amanda Brunker!!!! In a story that’s somehow related to the Weinstein story….and she won’t even name him!!!! That’s amazing.

You’ve been “brunkered”.

Nope. Just the guy who abused and the people who covered it up.

My Harvey Weinstein moment
Sitting

In the stand at the Michael Jackson gig
– the Pairc late 80s
A 2fm DJ “tripped”
Grabbed me boobies
With both hands the grubby tramp
And laughed “Cheap thrill”
Stupid knobend didn’t know what ta’make of the dig he got
He had a look across his face that almost threatened he’d report me
Tbf. The lad I was with called him a drunken disgrace, and his missus ( I think) dragged him along to his seat
A bitta banter followed him
Langers laughing at the posh dub thinking he’d be allowed score in the Pairc so easily
Never thought of it till now
I’ve just googled him there now
He’s still alive and in his 70s
Damn you Amanda
I’m traumatized
I’m going to need therapy

You may miss it because it’s hidden up the top, but Donal Óg Cusack is the sportsman who wrote the character reference for Tom Humphries.

Is it ever appropriate to write a letter outlining the character of a person, even if they’ve been convicted of a terrible crime?
That’s a serious question/dilemma.
I’m not sure I could. But doesn’t a court need to know if the convict – apart from their crime – is a good egg or a monster.
Frilly Keane
After their carry on during the last Cork Strike and Humphries using the Irish Times as a propaganda machine for him; why is it any surprise the Óg Egó would be standing up for him now
Objections to their partnership were thin on the ground then.
No media outlet cried foul over their partnership
And nobody had a problem with the Óg being given high profile mentoring work or Media work since
Not even the GRA
So everyone complaining now is typical
And Hook ‘esque
Nonetheless
I’m delighted to see so many finally having something to say about Donal Ógs relationship with the convicted Paedo

He’s not convicted yet
Frilly Keane
Oh dear
Do you want to swap out of that hat quickly
Before anyone notices

Sheik Yahbouti
He has been covicted, having pleaded guilty to SOME charges, and will be sentenced later this month. What are you talking about?
guy bague
He has been convicted. Not sentenced.
GiggidyGoo
You never see letters outlining the character if the outlining paints a negative picture. As the writer would probably be subpoenaed by the prosecution to testify. Which should also mean that letter writers like Cusack should be subpoenaed to appear for questioning and validation of their claims.
Warden of the Snort
He’s not convicted yet
Lilly
A moot point; he has pleaded guilty.
Topsy
He pleaded guilty & will be sentenced next month.
Warden of the Snort
It’s not a moot point
Lilly
Whatever. If you’re expecting him to be acquitted, you could be in for a disappointment.
Warden of the Snort
What sort of a wacko comment is that? I’m merely pointing out that once he is convicted you can then all say “he’s a convicted man”. Until then he is an innocent man. That’s how our system of justice works here.
Topsy
Warden. What part of – I’m guilty me lord – do you not understand.
Lilly
Ever the pedant. Okay, he’s an innocent man who has pleaded guilty. Does that satisfy you.
Warden of the Snort
Sorry, I didn’t really realise you were a troll with resting bithc face on until now.
Warden of the Snort
Take your point Topsy, but the lad was booked into John of Gods shortly after, if it was any other poor oul craythur in those circumstances we could not be so quick to judge, let he who is without sin and etc.

Fact checker
Snorty – Humphreys was convicted after entering a guilty plea at his last court hearing – the court then went on to hear a victim impact statement, which only occurs after (repeat: after) the accused has been convicted. Humphries is a guilty, convicted child abuser who is currently in prison awaiting sentencing.
He is not ‘an innocent man’ – and your understanding of how the court system works is wrong – plain stupid and 100% wrong.
Warden of the Snort
We’ve seen you give your half-learned opinion on several other occasions so-called Fact Checker, you have no authority here.

Pot kettle
Fact Checker
I have every right to come on here and correct your egregious and uninformed errors if I so choose. Thanks.
Lilly
Character references should have no place in a court case. An eight-year-old knows that people are a mixture of good and bad. Judges should rule on the facts of the case before them and not be swayed by the fact that the accused once helped a blind man across a busy road.
Warden of the Snort
Utter gibberish. When sentencing judges always take into account the character of the accused, whether this incident is the latest of many similar, had there been a predilection for similar misconduct previously etc, or was this an isolated case. Like any other form of evidence the judge can then choose whether or not to ignore or disregard the impact of it in making their decisions.
martco
…and their background too
like if they come from well heeled stock resident in Dalkey for example
Lilly
@Warden — Your tone is recognisable, so save yourself the trouble of constantly changing your name.

Warden of the Snort
Yeah Fact Checker is the boss of broadsheet – all rise when Fact Checker enters.
Face it Lilly you were wrong about not allowing character references, just plain wrong.
Even a four year old would know that the character of the accused is a fundamental tenet of the legal system during sentencing,.
Lilly
You really are a fool Warden (or whatever you’re calling yourself tonight). I ventured an opinion on an accepted practice that I don’t agree with. It’s not a question of right or wrong – although I doubt that’s something you can grasp.
Have you gobbled that humble pie so soon, here have another slice.
Pat Kenny's wife
Lilly he is dead right, Fact checker is wrong
Even a guilty man can have his sentence set aside
The Court of Appeal has set aside a man’s 12-year sentence for possession of drugs worth more than €4 million in a case which raised an “important question” regarding construction of the Misuse of Drugs Act, as amended.
Stephen Geraghty (50), Neilstown Drive, Clondalkin, had pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis worth over €4 million for sale or supply at Nutstown, Clonee, on November 27th, 2003, and possession of €350,000 worth of cocaine for sale or supply the following year.
Lilly
He began grooming that girl when she was just 14. I don’t care if he gave a kidney to a stranger – or similar heroic deed – beforehand. I hope he gets the full 10 years.
Lilly
@PK Wife — Yes, I know a guilty verdict can be set aside on appeal. But that doesn’t make TH innocent right now.
Pat Kenny's wife
“Half baked paedo apologist” is a slight exaggeration though is it not? The lad is just stating his opinion same as yourself
Lilly
Ah yeah, I have been known to get carried away once in a while :)
Topsy
@ warden, are you employed by the defence, or do you have a particular interest – just wondering like.

Neither Topsy. I have a particular interest in the fact that people want to name and shame without knowing anything of the mental state of the accused.

Terrible alright that a child sex abuse conviction should come with a certain amount of naming and shaming. My heart bleeds for your sensibilities.

Looking at the headlines and the news that consumes our attention, I feel that the current cycle of outrage to outrage can’t hold. What we knew only becomes outrageous when we name it. Then it will be a frenzy, and soon pass on. Are things any better for the jews since Kevin Myers was sacked, for rape victims after George, for wannabe starlets after Harvey, for Silicon valley females after Dave Mc Clure. No better than they are for refugees after Aylan Kurdi’s pic. People will just be more careful calculating and bide their time. No nature has actually been changed, just vapid and vain lashings of hate from both sides.
Pop will eat itself. Its going nowhere. No enlightenment, in fact Id say entrenchment. For all the virtues that are being called out, the world is becoming darker. Trump, Brexti, Putin, Erdogan. interesting that the more the sugar candied version of the world is being touted, the opposite is what is manifesting. And its not about what is right or wrong, its just human nature.
Journalist Alison o Reilly has won “Mum of the Year” . Sunday Times report as well as adopting a child from Ethiopia , she is a foster parent and legal guardian to a number of teenagers. She has been taking care of a child with severe special needs, taking a 120 mile hospital daily trip to Dublin for treatment.

As for me not liking women, I’m not going to change whatever notion you have but I can say i don’t like you for sure. Are you a woman?
not blaming ALL men – stop being a low rent melodramatic villain in a cheap play.
made the point that the “characters” who were willy waggling all weekend were all blokes apart from one who claims to be a a woman.
