One thing I was hugely impressed with was when ye stood up to Denis O’Brien’s lawyers about republishing the Waterfordwhispers article about Gilligan being similar to himself in a parallel universe.

Best of luck John & all. I’ve been here from the start in a few incarnations and tbh through phases of fluctuating mental health. Broadsheet was a constant & I was annoyed and amused in equal measure by the commenters. I also won two record vouchers which was nice.

Nick Kelly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nobody told me there’d be days like this.<\/p>\n

Strange days indeed.<\/p>\n

It has been an honour and a privilege to have been so warmly welcomed into the weird and wonderful world of Broadsheet<\/em>. It represents the best of Ireland. I have enjoyed working alongside John Ryan more than I can say. There are few in Irish media who possess an ounce of his heart, guts or punning ability.<\/p>\n

Since Covid, I have looked upon my profession and despaired at what it has become. Seeing former journalistic colleagues calling for a witch hunt of the unvaccinated on national television is something I never thought I would ever see in my lifetime. Yet here we are.<\/p>\n

When I began posting on this site in 2018 the world was a lot different: I loved promoting new Irish music in my daily You May Like This music posts. And the weekly Friday music quiz caught the imagination of the faithful Broadsheet<\/em> commentariat in a way that gladdened my heart.<\/p>\n

I want to thank our sponsors Golden Discs and Currys for their invaluable support which allowed the competition to become a much loved staple of the site.<\/p>\n

I also want to thank our readers for encouraging me to continue with the format even after the vouchers ran out; that was a truly heart-warming show of solidarity that I won’t forget any time soon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I also want to thank the various press officers who sent me so many great videos over the past 4 years (including Pete Murphy<\/strong>, Emma Harney<\/strong>, Ciaran Savage<\/strong>, Sheena Madden<\/strong>, Kevin Murray<\/strong>, Colm Slattery<\/strong> and Michelle Whitehead<\/strong>: I write their names out in a list).<\/p>\n

And I want to thank the artists themselves for managing to create such powerful music even when circumstances locked down their dreams. I know this much is true: the Irish music scene has never been in such robust health.<\/p>\n

Then Covid happened and everything changed. Although I continued with the music, popular culture and social history posts, I found that I could not stay silent on a subject which affected me so profoundly.<\/p>\n

As a vaccine-damaged person who knows first hand the devastation that a pharmaceutical needle can inflict on a person’s health, I felt compelled to warn of the dangers of the jab<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The response to our posts on this subject proved to be polarising in a way that was as regrettable as it was unavoidable. Keeping silent on this issue was simply not an option. If you have a problem with the concept of freedom of speech, then maybe Western Civilisation is not for you.<\/p>\n

Broadsheet<\/em>, to its eternal credit, was the very embodiment of this sacred pillar. Alas, in Ireland it was essentially alone in a cultural landscape that has become gripped by an hysterical conformity to pre-approved narratives handed down by globalist bureaucrats who I suspect may not actually have our best interests at heart. A crazy idea, right?!<\/p>\n

Alas, the zeitgeist has moved so far from a commitment to core democratic principles that Broadsheet<\/em> came under a ferocious and sustained attack in the comments section by both honest and dishonest actors. I want to thank those commenters who rallied to our cause day in and day out. We could not have endured as long as we did without you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To the honest commenters who virulently disagreed with us, I say this: we are just regular people who sincerely felt that our friends, families and the general public were in great danger<\/strong>. And we used this platform to sound the alarm. That’s it in a nutshell: we were never paid a penny to push any opinion. We pursued our editorial line because it felt like the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

For the reasons mentioned by Bodger in his Closing Time<\/a> post, eventually the excruciating war of attrition, on top of our normal financial and legal woes, took its toll. We had nothing left in the tank.<\/p>\n

It’s a bittersweet moment for me. I am immensely proud that this website kept its head – and heart – when all around were losing theirs.<\/p>\n

It was a rollercoaster ride for sure, but I loved every minute.<\/p>\n

See you hopefully further on down the road.<\/p>\n

The question is, Barry, does a country that has a dreadful, tragic history of emigration, a problem that is as bad right now as it’s ever been, that has failed to give it’s young people jobs, houses, a chance of a decent future, have any business taking in thousands of illegal immigrants, simply because Gy\u00f6rgy Schwartz AKA George Soros demands that it does?
\nI don’t think there is any way to answer that in the affirmative, our own & the EU’s immigration laws are being routinely ignored & breached by our own government, our Immigration Service, such as it was, downed tools as lockdown commenced & seemed to have ceased trading & a minimum of 50,000 Stamp 2 or IG student visas to attend English classes at fake language schools are being breached, because there is no attempt to police them.

So, scottser, you acknowledge that ”the oldies in your family…were scared out of their minds by Pat Kenny et al”. Out of their minds, you say? You’re are correct there.
\nThen, however, you reiterate the Fake TV Science, the idea that you could somehow protect them by taking a gene therapy injection, a complete fabrication that formed the backbone of Kenny et al’s propaganda campaign!
\nIt’s clear that it was you, scottser, who was propagandized & motivated by fear & in that irrational state, you made a mistake.

I wasn’t quietly disturbed, I did voice my opinion but received no response one way or another. I guess my voice on these pages wasn’t strong enough compared to other more vociferous people.
\nThe issue has some relevance for me: Despite being active and physically fit, I developed a heart problem. After many tests the cardiologist made one remark that struck me: ” No coffee no spirits, no cocaine” All three can cause palpitations and I had developed an arrythmia.

Then, more recently, the extreme rises in mortality that perfectly tracked the mRNA drug trials, which so many in the West were the guinea pigs for, became utterly undeniable, whatever you believe.

If cocaine use (or abuse) was a cause of such injuries then the numbers would have been increasing over a sustained period of time- they would not be rising in tandem with what is known to be vaccine injured athletes elsewhere. <\/p>\n

According to Dr Peter McCullogh, vaccine induced myocarditis is quite different to the natural sort- far more severe for a start- and is identifiable by scans.<\/p>\n

You know, it all started to go south when John threw his lot in with Qanon and their thinking that Trump and Trumpism was essential to destroy what they believed to be pedophilic and satanic global hegemony. <\/p>\n

Once down that rabbit hole there was no coming back. The word of Q was their gospel and consequently, eyeballs left in droves. <\/p>\n

Covid then hit along with such strong anti vax focussed editorial stance means that John\u2019s frequent denials of the imbalanced editorial stance was laughable. <\/p>\n

Credibility now in the jacks. <\/p>\n

Then the clickbait and frequent denials of same\u2026 <\/p>\n

The last straw and the one reason why I won\u2019t mourn Broadsheet\u2019s demise was its take on Russia\u2019s despicable invasion of Ukraine – leaving thousands dead, millions displaced and the state of our world to come in a perilous state. <\/p>\n

The mastubatary levels of glee by those now fully invested in Q\u2019s way of thinking sickened my and for a while I went out of my way to irritate and provoke – and maybe I did and maybe I didn\u2019t. But I know I pissed a few of yis off. Even Charger when most of yis though I was him. Or Daisy. Or a couple of others consigned to the naughty step of doom. <\/p>\n

(True story, years back I once pissed Charger off so much after exposing one particular piece of his bullshit, he stoped posting for a couple of months out of the embarrassment of it all)<\/p>\n

Anyways. I\u2019m sure this war has John\/Bodger properly tickled as it\u2019s doing what Trump could not. I hope not however but it\u2019s clear that many here are loving it for their own bizarre reasons. It\u2019s utterly disgusting. <\/p>\n

Absolutely, it reveals Vlad’s obsessions, into which he tried to force opinions & attitudes which had absolutely nothing to do with QAnon or Trump or America, even. Nobody I know has ever visited QAnon, to my knowledge, I was of the opinion that it’s a site about American politics, no?

And the first Laugh out Loud I had here in years was
\n‘but we made friends along the way’ over on the we’re closing thread. Pretty certain JR laughed as well<\/p>\n

I’m guessing Nidgie or Rotide<\/p>\n

Ok it’s a ‘if you know you’ll know’
\nBroadsheet pre 2018 would know, and then turned it into a street party <\/p>\n

Broadsheet was the comments
\nJR was our MC, our host, who gave us our themes and topics of the day
\nAnd off we went<\/p>\n

When the comments got corrupted
\n So did Broadsheet<\/p>\n

Totally warped <\/p>\n

Thanks, Nick, for the fun and the times. Your competitions of a Friday helped me remember important times in my own life. Often they were the soundtracks of my weekends.<\/p>\n

The introductions to new bands was very welcome, and a great anodyne to some of the stations only pushing approved music.<\/p>\n

Although not today nor yesterday, one of my younger brothers was affected by the introduction of a new childhood vaccine, not available to me just a few years older than he. My youngest brother, several years younger again, got the same one, but more care was taken by my parents in approaching it. But with the extra years that had passed between the two it was more reliable <\/p>\n

As such, I supported your stance, for all that I have had many different vaccines over the years given my line of work. But do not know enough of the subject to have commented, and feared doing so would fan the flames.

To Nigel (and Clampers) above re: transgenderism. Saying that a transwoman is not actually a woman is not at all equivalent to saying they don’t exist. You can still recognise they exist as persons, even if you don’t think that a person embodied as a man (genetically, anatomically, hormonally, etc.) ever can be a woman. <\/p>\n

You can disagree with a person’s beliefs about their own identity without disrespecting that person. You too, Nigel, are committed to rejecting persons’ beliefs about their gender identity. For example, I think I’m a man, not a cisman. On the transgenderism view (which is a philosophical view about gender identity) there is no such thing as a “man” as such. “Men” who identify as male are cismales, not males. So if you are consistent Nigel you’ll think that I’m a cismale. But I deny this completely, my maleness is not contingent on whether I identify with it or not – my maleness is an objective given concerning my embodied identity. On your view of respect if you insist on thinking of me as a cismale then you are doing violence to my real identity, as I identify it. So, on your logic, you don’t think I exist. That’s absurd obviously, but it’s a consistent application of your view that disagreeing that a person identifying as a transwoman is tantamount to denying that person’s existence.<\/p>\n

While every person who thinks they are trans is every bit as valuable as anyone else, the transgenderism thesis is clearly absurd. It cannot accommodate any objective understanding of male or female, and so it trades on terms (male and female) it does not accept the objective reality of. It is ultimately self-defeating as an attempt to explain sexed identity because it ends up by denying that “man” and “woman” are real categories of identity. Test it out: ask a trans thesis proponent what a man is, and the very best they will be able to come up with is the (completely circular) response: “Someone who thinks they are a man”. But what is it that they think they are if they think they are a man??!!<\/p>","parent":0,"avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b6fda45481b8ecb6be802cacfe562eea?s=80&d=mm&r=G","level":0},{"id":2438806,"name":"K.Cavan","url":"","date":"2022-06-10 04:14:55","content":"

Tom, everything you say may be correct, well-argued, clear, concise but you know Nigel’s response:

Luckily transgenderism is medically recognised, so you don’t have to personalise your rejection of their reality by having imaginary conversations wi me where you tortuously accuse me of rejecting your identity.<\/p>\n

‘Cis’ just means ‘not trans’ so rejecting it as a label is like rejecting one part or the other of ‘homo sapiens’ because you don’t approve of neanderthals and then claiming I’m denying your existence because of it.<\/p>\n

The existence of trans people suggests gender is more nuanced for some people than the simple binary it is for most. That is all. This is interesting and a cause for wonder at the rich complexity of life, not panic, anger, denial and mockery.<\/p>\n

Yes, transgenderism as self-identity (inclusive of feelings, beliefs, etc. about oneself and one’s body) is medically recognised. So is anorexia nervosa. Separate is the question of whether an embodied man can be a woman. The biological, medical answer to that question is “no”. That doesn’t mean that a transwoman has to accept that answer, but it does raise the further question of what is meant when they identify as a “woman”. There are circumstances where this last question is of no public importance, but there are circumstances where it is. <\/p>\n

People certainly can have very complex, nuanced (and – let’s be real here – confused) thoughts about their gender identity. It is no cause for mocking anyone or denying those people exist. There still remains the real question of whether thoughts\/feelings about one’s embodied identity as a “man” or a “woman” align with reality. Ultimately, the transgender thesis denies the objective reality of male and female embodiment. Talk about “gender” just obscures this important fact. If gender is divorceable from sexual embodiment as the transgender thesis supposes, then it is a purely subjective construct that causes only confusion by denying the existence of actual males and females. That seems important, in at least some circumstances.<\/p>","parent":2438826,"avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b6fda45481b8ecb6be802cacfe562eea?s=80&d=mm&r=G","level":2},{"id":2438851,"name":"Nigel","url":"","date":"2022-06-10 09:27:56","content":"

Actually the biological medical answer is yes, with appropriate intervention. Everything else is social acceptance. The very existence of trans people complicates our accepted binaries.

“Actually the biological medical answer is yes, with appropriate intervention.”<\/p>\n

That is simply not true. The only way it could be plausible is if feelings and thoughts determine biological reality – which is the end of biology as a science.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if you have heard of it, but this video is of interviews with a bunch of gender studies academics.
\nIt is quite the spectacle, in that if you just let the interviewees talk, as the interviewer does, the so called academics do a fine job of exposing their own nonsense.

( PS – Many have commented that they are no fan, or dislike the interviewer, but state that the content is on the nail in exposing the claptrap that is gender ideology.
\nJust thought I’d state that as I’m sure Nigel will be on to comment about the interviewer while ignoring the content.

Where do you think those thoughts and feelings come from if not out of our bilology?<\/p>\n

I say it twice because believe it or not the science and biology of it are not as important to me as the reactionary backlash against a vulnerable minority hidden, when it bothers to hide itself at all, behind the bad-faith invocations of science and biology and logic.

Thanks for all your efforts on the Broadsheet, and John also.<\/p>\n

The time between a conspiracy theory, becoming an established fact is less than 6 months and shrinking. I am glad you guys stuck to your guns with an editorial stance that ran counter to the government narratives, it was a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

Some people really struggle to accept the reality that their government will lie to them on a regular basis, about everything.<\/p>\n

It is a hard to swim against the consensus current, but from my perspective, you did a great job, with limited resources and distinguished yourselves in positive way.<\/p>\n
