Just before the Japanese Prime Minister and Iranian leaders were scheduled to meet together and discuss mediation to reduce tensions with the US, Iran decides to attack tankers carrying a Japanese cargo. It’s like a stale, re-hashed Hollywood remake destined to go straight to DVD. This clip says it all really https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfoaLbbAix0

First, it was ex-president Mary Robinson shilling for the Dubai landlord for the Kinahan drug trafficking organisation. Of course Mary would deny knowledge of any of that, she’s merely good friends with the Dubai dictator Mo McToom and his #1 missus.
Now, The Phoenix reveals ex-president Mary McAleese has joined a lobbying group in Brussels called the “Bussola Institute”. What, pray tell, does it lobby for? None other than policies of the Gulf Cooperation Council. And who are they? It’s a Saudi headquartered group comprising the most backward countries in the Middle East which includes Dubai.
What a twisted sneak she is. As she tries to bad mouth Trump she surreptitiously takes cash from representatives of societies that actually treat women as second class citizens.
The sooner greater society understand how Robinson and company operate the better life will be for all.

Why does Irish media give Jeffrey Donaldson of the DUP the time of day.
Formerly of the UDR which is, in my opinion, a terrorist organisation, having read Anne Cadwallader’s “Lethal Allies” and the number of UDR members involved in murder and gun-running, these days Jeffrey and his bro, Kingsley are principals at a number of companies which have been accused of providing “security” support to the repressive Bahraini regime. Jeffrey said he was suing after those claims, though he doesn’t appear to have sued the Irish Times, at least not in the Republic and their article remains online.
Just a question do a lot of your exclusives come from the Phoenix? No harm but it will save me buying it
On your other question I’m not a PR expert, maybe rotide who appears to work in media can chip in here, but it seems once you’re in the good list as a commentator they will just roll you out again and again because they are unpaid interns working in media now who do that sort of thing and who are lazy and demotivated
From the article…… ‘As former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ireland, Eamon Gilmore had government responsibility for the implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, including its core human rights provisions’ Really?

Jeez,that bad Brexit news for Blighty keeps on piling up.
” BRITAIN has maintained its position as Europe’s foremost investment hub by attracting more business than Germany and France combined, new United Nations Conference on Trade and Develop figures reveal.
The country managed to attract £1.48 trillion of inwards investment stocks in 2018, which is more than Europe’s next biggest economies – Germany and France. This leaves Britain the third-largest investment hub in the world, behind the United States and China. ”
” Berlin managed to only attract £739billion and Paris just £649bn as both capitals struggle to establish themselves.
Over the past year the value of inward stock into the UK increased by 21 percent, compared to just one percent in Germany and a six percent fall in France.
Between 2010 and 2018, the value of these inward stock investments into the UK have increased by 77 percent.”

That reminds me of the jury on a particularly knotty murder trial that, several weeks into evidence went to celebrate one of the juror’s 21st birthday during lunch. On their return, an hour late, they were all soused and two jurors were openly groping each other.
The jury were duly discharged and the whole trial had to be re-heard. They were lucky not to be held in contempt.

Not sure I would describe Diagio as being ‘lefty’s’?
He may have been found innocent of the charge but it would appear it was the Whatsapp messages and his actions on the night including the large amount of alcohol consumed that are dogging him these days.
Being concerned about that sort of behaviour is neither a right nor a left issue, its down to both respect and perception. Diagio obviously don’t want to be associated with a man who goes on an all day bender and ends up having a 3/4-some with a random lady. Looks like they are tolerating binge drinking.
While it was inevitable
In the #MeToo #IBelieveHer environment anyway

Can you see the scam?
“State spends €87 million on Carbon Credits as part of ‘Climate Charade’ ”
The charade first pretends that an inert, invisible, odourless, tasteless atmospheric nutrient (at a concentration of 0.04%) is somehow toxic.
Anybody still pushing this agenda is trying to pick your pocket.
I’d be against carbon credits as it does appear to be a scam alright. Bit like upping your health insurance everytime you go on a bender or eat a greasy take away – it might hurt you in the pocket but its still not addressing the bad behaviour in the first place.
However, its been proven that an increase of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can have drastic effects everything and in high enough concentrations it is toxic.
But if you think CO2 is bad, what until you meet all that frozen methane locked up in the ground in places like Siberia or under the arctic ice – it could be to carbon dioxide what a Fiat punto is to a Ferrari.
Irrespective of whether you believe its human made or a natural cycle or something, our climate is definitely changing.
Increasing Displacement
Its even worse when big corporations buy all the energy from renewable energy thus lowering their carbon bill but you and me are left to foot the carbon bill.
I want to buy my energy from only renewable sources and pay no carbon tax…
