        or anyone’s loved one, brother , sister, it may not feel real to you, but it’s real blood Zuppy. Have some respect.

        1. Janet, I ate my avatar

          you are disgusting
          you’re take on humanity is a reflection on you
          I wouldn’t even imagine someone low enough to ” invent ” a freind and then imagine this kind of tragedy
          shame on you

          1. Janet, I ate my avatar

            I’m furious with you
            you are a glib, cruel individual
            I’m in shock and can’t believe a kind funny man is gone and you get to walk the streets and call it fake

          2. mildred st. meadowlark

            I’m going to assume that Zup pulled his usual stunt and said something completely obnoxious and out of line.

            Pay no heed to someone so unfeeling and absolutely vile as that.
            I’m so sorry for your loss, my dear. I honestly can’t imagine how you reconcile something like that.

          3. Janet, I ate my avatar

            thanks Milly
            stupid of me to respond, my temper/disgust got the better of me

          4. mildred st. meadowlark

            Happens to us all. Don’t let the bastards get you down, love xx

            *hugs*

            It’s not a ‘black t-shirt’, it’s an Arsenal away strip.

            But don’t let that stop you pulling yourself asunder to the latest and greatest conspiracy drivel.

            I’m suprised bodger hasn’t been along to tell us to all open our eyes yet.

          4. mildred st. meadowlark

            Oh there you are, Bodger, my dear. I do hope you had a pleasant weekend.

          1. I'm "alright" Jack. Mad Jack is on annual leave.

            You wouldn’t be posting fake news here now would you Nigel? You’re a right divil

    Down sneaked in a win against Armagh, great first half, but the second half was a tad disappointing. As anyone would tell you, you can’t score just three points in thirty five minutes of football and expect to win.

        1. I'm "alright" Jack. Mad Jack is on annual leave.

          lol you’re a real gaa type and make no mistake :)
          Won’t someone think of the children?

          1. Shayna

            I often think of the children I may have had, too late now, probably wise on reflection. There was a Junior Football match in Tyrone back in the 80s, where a linesman was stabbed to death with, ironically his white flag. It seems he made a questionable decision as to whether the ball was over the line, or not. It led to a brawl, melée, and ultimately death for the poor chap.

  4. Peter Dempsey

    Say what you like about Varadkar but at least he has condemned those behind the London attack.
    This is in total contrast to Rabble who have stayed silent on both the London and Manchester tragedies.

    1. Kenny U-Vox Plank

      And Dublin City Council who refused to lower the Palestinian flag over city hall to half mast.

    20/1 for Theresa May to be Prime Minister after next Thursday’s general election, according to the Racing Post. What odds for Jeremy Corbyn – 2000/1?

    2. classter

      ‘Enough is enough’ she says after being Home Secretary for seven years. What an utter joke.

      In every single case of these attacks in Europe over the last couple of years (including in Manchester and seemingly in London too) the perpetrators have been known to police.

      Yet May’s approach has been to increase wide-ranging digital surveillance powers and cut police numbers. This approach has failed. She should facing demands to resign rather than running for election.

      1. Shayna

        Funny thing is, because of what happened in Borough Market, she’s receiving a lot of air-time, the pollsters regard this a positive for her campaign, which was previously waning as a result of her unwillingness to engage in live tv debates. I do I think it’s completely unfortunate timing for Labour, as the Tories appear to be using the horrible events as a vehicle for their electioneering

        1. classter

          Yup, I do wonder.

          I think she will receive a backlash from lots of quarters. The clip of her at a police union conference telling someone who raised almost this question exactly to ‘stop crying wolf’ does not look good.

          But I guess you are probably right that others will question whether they trust Corbyn to ‘keep them safe’

          1. Shayna

            I wonder sometimes about British types, I’ve been watching British tv shows/news this morning, there’s a fear of leaving the house there presently. Should The Election on Thursday be postponed appears to be another question for debate. It’ll be interesting to see what the turn-out statistics are on polling day.

          2. Junkface

            Cutting Police numbers and funding in the age of Islamic Terrorism is completely backwards and stupid. Theresa May really screwed this up in her previous position.

    3. Formerly Known As @ireland.com

      May has been shown to be useless. I see her getting replaced, after a narrow win. PM Boris, what could go wrong?

      I hope Labour win but Cameron and go gerrymandered things, to make it harder for young people to vote.

  6. Junkface

    I don’t see how any western countries will ever stop this kind of terrorism, other than making it a law to snoop on all Muslims phone, social media and computer activity. Many times they name the terrorists, they then interview the neighbours who say they were nice normal guys with a family and kids, they never thought they were capable of this. So how else do the Police and intelligence agencies prevent these attacks? You really wonder were this is all going ten years down the line.

    1. Nigel

      Well one way would be some sort of unified international co-operation on reducing as much conflict across the Middle East as possible no, no stop laughing come back

    2. I'm "alright" Jack. Mad Jack is on annual leave.

      It’s a generational thing and will die out in about 20 years or so

      2. Junkface

        This is true, it is a generational thing. Since the 70’s when the Saudi’s became incredibly rich through their Oil reserves they have flooded the Muslim world with a version of the Koran heavily influenced by Wahibism, which was a Saudi invention. Suddenly it has become a muslim duty to kill infidels with beheadings and other medieval behaviour. Many muslims choose not to follow these instructions of course, but angry young men in war torn areas really believe in this stuff, it speaks to them on a tribal level. So now you have countries like Egypt where the grandmothers want to walk around without burkhas like they did in the sixties, but their daughters who were born in the 70’s insist they must cover up. So women have lost all of their freedom and independence within one generation.

        Its time the muslim countries of the world reviewed the Koran and removed the crazy Wahibism influence and put it back the way it was. Then flood the world with new editions of the Koran.

      What about at home, in Ireland? If you want hate speech jump straight to the comment section of thejournal.ie.

      1. mildred st. meadowlark

        Can’t read their comments section. Turns my stomach, the stuff posted there.

  7. Zena

    Broadsheet, can you take Mildred and Janet out of moderation, their comments are amongst the sanest on here and they don’t harangue other commenters for entertainment, as some do.

    1. Janet, I ate my avatar

      thanks Zena
      in fairness I did call someone a fuppwit
      I’m not normally one for name calling but it came from the heart today

        1. mildred st. meadowlark

          +1

          Zup likes to call fake when he doesn’t like the sound/look of something, or if it doesn’t back up his beliefs.

    2. mildred st. meadowlark

      Am I in moderation again?

      I never really know when these things happen. It’s coz I said bastards isn’t it?

      1. Zena

        I seen your full comment, Jane, you were well within your rights to call him that, that man’s a clown. Hope you’re ok, awful news for you to receive.

        Mildred, your comments from earlier didn’t show on here, I’m hoping you’re not back in the bold corner again now. Swearing is expression and should be allowed in these extreme instances.

      2. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

        You said WHAT?
        Oh God. The disappointment is crushing.
        I’ll never look at you in the same way again, MillyMooMoos.

        And you, Janet. Disgusting. I never use bad language and have no log in mine own eye to remove.

        I go away for the weekend and all hell breaks loose.

        Honestly.

        1. mildred st. meadowlark

          Oh gwan then, I’ll bite. Where were you?

          Did you enjoy the weekend away from the fun dungeon?

          1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            Yerrah, nowhere interesting. Spideal.
            My weekend breaks abroad are a thing of the past, sadly.

          2. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            Having labelled Spideal uninteresting, nonetheless I had a grand ole time.
            And you? Es n Whizz, I’m guessing.

          3. mildred st. meadowlark

            I’ve never been to Spideal. Based on your recommendation, I think I’ll give it a miss. Go for somewhere absolutely riveting.

            As for me, well, I drank a lot of red wine, a touch too much whiskey and made loads of cakes.

            And that’s just TODAY!

          4. mildred st. meadowlark

            Also, on an alcohol-based note, I just discovered that there are two different spellings for whiskey and they represent differ distilling methods or something (I don’t clearly remember, because drink and house party and too many conversations), and that there is a very real and distinct difference between them. And I feel a bit… bamboozled because I really like a nice glass of whiskey/whisky and I’m not sure how I’ll know what is what anymore.

            Sorry, that all just fell out.

          5. Sheik Yahbouti

            Mildred, my own, ‘whiskey’ denotes Irish made stuff – ‘whisky’ is Scottish.

    Zena writes “I seen your full comment, Jane…” I think you didn’t learn English grammar at a nuns’ primary school, Zena.

      1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

        I had a reply typed to that comment earlier but deleted it. Not worth engaging, thought I.

    1. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

      DAMMIT. I’d have corrected you first if I knew you were handing out gold fupping STARS.
      *fuming*

      1. mildred st. meadowlark

        That’s really your kind of thing, isn’t it?

        Here, have a gold star, coz well, sure it’s nearly Tuesday now already, and that’s always great.
