    Naughten is a dirtbag who previously shafted the people of Roscommon hospital for his own advancement. A despicable little person.

    I see Unilever’s plans to move their London HQ to Amsterdam and de-list from the London Stock Exchange because of Brexit are going well …

      And you love your bitty.

      Ollie Cromwell – our very own Krispy Kreme commentator.

      Lines up and honks all night.

      Don’t feed it.

      In fact I’m so struck by the Unilever news I abandon my usual breakfast of Vegemite on sourdough toast in favour of Mrs Ollie Crowmell’s prized Marmite,so to speak.
      What a marvellous way to start the day.

    How many of those Irish headlines point to the failures and dishonesty of FG?

    Just to put things into perspective as regards Naughten. (remind yourself now of his passing of information to INM related folk back in 2016, and his ‘explanation’ and ‘apology’.)

    There was a tender put out. Three groups were interested. Two of them (who were experts in the delivery of communications) found that the tender was confusing and complicated. They refused to bid.
    That left just one interested party. (Remember, the actual bid hadn’t been made at this stage – but when they put their price in, it would be the ‘winning’ bid anyway, regardless)
    Once it transpired that there was only one bidder, Naughten meets them for a cup of tea in New York – prior to the bid. Following that, there are drop outs from the consortium (wouldn’t you wonder at that, seeing as they were going to be the only bidder, and would have won?)
    A few weeks ago, up pops Actavo. (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice/ Blankcheque Blankcheque Blankcheque) Nothing like a blank cheque to attract a particular type of FG friend eh.?
    Two weeks ago, up pops the information the Naughten met them in New York.
    Over dinner, Naughten says there was only one thing discussed.
    Turns out today, that he lied. There were ‘at least’ four issues in relation to this, discussed.
    This tender now needs to be stopped. Naughten needs to at least step down

    I’ve just realised something:
    The ‘remember me’ option for comment “autofill name + email” has been not working for ages now.
    The number of sock-puppets on BS seems to be at an all-time high.
    Anyone posting under multiple names wouldn’t want this feature enabled.

    Are these related?

      It’s been non functioning for a couple of weeks. If you’re using and iPad for instance, Safari won’t remember anything. I have Google also installed, and once you click into the username and password boxes, those are remembered for the next time (you may have to type the first letter of each)

      But the buttons you mention are missing a couple of weeks now.

    Young people preaching communist values in Beijing are regarded as subversives. If members of the Legion of Mary in Dublin offer Catholic literature to passers-by in Grafton Street, they are deemed subversive. It’s time for Legionaries and Young Communists to team up in Tiananmen Square, agus an Coróin Mhuire a rá as Gaeilge.
