The somewhat demeaning ’10 People/10 pitches’ at the Dublin Web Summit this week.
But who would you invest in?
The comment was posted on Twitter in response to a torrent of obscene and hostile posts from far-left Republican bigots who objected to him posting photographs from the Ulster Covenant Parade in Belfast.
Mr Griffin’s comment was aimed at people following the exchanges and was clearly directed specifically and directly at the individuals insulting the parade, him and his wife.
He said:
“…While we are staunch advocates of the Union and the right of Ulster’s loyalists to maintain their unity with the rest of the United Kingdom and to celebrate their vibrant culture and their Protestant Faith, we are most definitely not anti-Irish. Working class Irish communities in England have been among the biggest victims of mass Third world immigration designed to lower wages and remake our society on specifically anti-Christian lines.
“We are appalled to see Ireland being turned into a Third World Islamic slum even more rapidly than Great Britain, and we urge the peoples of the island of Ireland to bury the old sectarian divisions, to recognise the existence, culture and value of both native traditions, and to work together to reverse the tidal wave of immigration that, unchecked, will make them all foreigners in their own land.
Unlike the anti-Irish hypocrites of Sinn Fein, our position is both principled and logical. Keep Ireland Irish. Keep Britain British. Eirinn go Brach and No Surrender!”
Yikes.

I really do not think that I’ll,
See a better prank for a long while,
They forced Barack and Mitt,
For an evening to sit,
On a dais, pretending to smile.

THE enormous stress of the night of the bank guarantee may have caused Brian Lenihan’s pancreatic cancer, his aunt Mary O’Rourke believes.
She says that Brian, then Minister for Finance, was under tremendous pressure when the bank executives came into Government Buildings on the historic night in September 2008 to beg for help to stop them going bust. It ended with them getting a state guarantee.
“On a human level I believe that that night of huge burdens on Brian and all the many stresses of the time which followed took a massive toll on his health, and may even have sown the seeds of his pancreatic cancer,” Mrs O’Rourke writes in her new book.
