The British are resigned to a hard border? The majority of The North voted to remain in The EU – it beggars belief that democracy, such as it is, works in this way.
eoin
Our national broadcaster has a junior govt minister on the most listened-to radio programme to answer questions about the border. “So, do you regard the imposition of checks as undermining the Good Friday Agreement?”
“Well, our priority is to avoid any physical infrastructure on the border..it’s part of an ongoing process..we have obligations to protect our place in the EU single market.. what we’re having now is discussions with the EU Commissioner…if there are checks they will have to take place remotely away from the border”
You’ll remember what Simon Coveney said earlier this year.
“But once you start talking about checks anywhere near the Border, people will start delving into that and all of a sudden we’ll be the Government that reintroduced a physical border on the island of Ireland”
Simon Coveney to Shane Ross, 15 January 2019, inadvertently picked up on reporters microphone
I remember when this was mental as far as the eye could see at this time of night.
Eoin should be here soon to copy and paste some facts, thankfully

True.
I used to enjoy opening the papers and seeing if there’d been a massacre overnight. It did get progressively madder (and unpleasant) as time went on and I’m pretty sure that’s when the lads in mission control had to step in.

Another cull is surely ( and hopefully ) imminent

I recall the same old reliables featuring in the nightly massacres, and their conspicuous absences. I trust life has been grabbed by some in a positive move. It was an awful waste of a person’s nightlife.

RE: Exaniner > Does the Pulse system record botched procedural issues alongside Mr O’ Sullivans name ??
You need to watch the British papers like hawks for the next two months. This is how the “Irish” Sun interprets an opinion poll today
“FEWER (sic) than half of Irish people are happy with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s Brexit stance”.
A downbeat gurney pic of Leo, a downbeat mid-blink pic of Simon Coveney yet Boris looks like an energetic go-getter.
Yet if you drill into the figs
41% are satisfied
25% are neither satisfied nor unsatisfied
24% are unsatisfied
And although the Sun doesn’t report it, 10% don’t know, otherwise their % don’t add up!
Also the “pun” of a headline is “BREXUALLY UNSATISFIED ”
Why the strained sexual pun? For a second, I saw “bisexually unsatisfied” over Leo’s mug.
The Irish Sun is selling 46,412 copies a day here. About the same as the Irish Times. We should be concerned at Murdoch’s propaganda at this point in Brexit.

Any news about the cause of death of the 19-year old in Galway 8 days ago? The Gardai were reported to be carrying out toxicology reports last Thursday on the day of her funeral. No news yet?
This just asking questions evolution to your comments is becoming some of the worst and most mean-spirited stuff ever seen here. Get a Fupping life you self-righteous ladypart.

Steady on.
The Old Boy
In fairness Bodger, eoin presents himself as an eagle-eyed observer of the press, then makes deeply disingenuous remarks like that knowing full well that it is not usual practice to publish toxicology results in the immediate wake of personal tragedies. It’s left until the inquest, if at all.

In fairness Old Boy, that is eoin’s MO; See below for another example where he mentions the press attack on Prince Andrew & Charles…and then makes deeply disingenuous remarks (fabricates a ‘story’) about the queen and her corgis – pure filth.

The guy pictured besides naziboysalute while he was doing his thing on Barrow Street is alleged to be a Charlie Russell of Blanchardstown.
Mind you they want to picket outside O’Doherty’s house so it could all be fake but- if it is true then it is a pretty good indication of the type of people involved.

So, despite Boris pledging he wouldn’t discuss Brexit with EU leaders until the backstop was abandoned, he’s going to Paris and Berlin this week for talks with their leaders? But neither French nor German EU leader has abandoned the backstop. Boris is going to look like a silly flake when he’s told some home truths this week.

After the attacks on Prince Andrew (Daily Mail and Mirror) and Prince Charles (by association with Louis Mountbatten, Sun and Sunday Times), I was surprised not to see in the Telegraph today a US-tinted attack on the Queen, what the footman saw, that type of thing, smearing pheasant blood over her unmentionables and summoning the corgis, maybe. I mean, if Establishment papers are capable of fingering Andrew as a paedo (he denies sexual contact with girls linked to Epstein) and throwing mud at Charles (by association), why stop there?

Boris Johnson is to clamp down on social media platforms which allow anti-vax claims.
The graph for measles in Europe in this article is shocking. 5,273 cases in 2016 versus 82,596 cases in 2018.
That pic on the cover of the Telegraph. They’ve installed a giant slide in a British cathedral and the bish delivers sermons half way down it. I know it’s summer loch but even the BBC carries the story.
If you read the article, you’d see that the people of Kilmacud sponsored and supported their move there.

Good old Fred Dibnah! Funnily enough, I lived and worked beside the Didcot power station for a couple of years. Developed a nasty dose of conjunctivitis as a result of the emissions; the cooling towers emitted steam but there was a little hidden flue about the size of a high jump pole which emitted the concentrated and deadly carbon dioxide. You could taste in on your tongue on a morning. When it was earmarked for closure, locals became very nostalgic and a local arts group (of which I was a member) covered them in illustrated white sheets which were then illuminated with images at night alongside musical chants and dancing – it was quite magical. The affection people had for the power plant is a bit like the Poolbeg towers today. I never thought a set of cooling towers would feature so prominently in my life but there they are now as dust as I shall be one day.

I just loved watching the no fuss natural brutal engineering talent the fella had….those simple ladders & rope & the temporary scaffolds he’d knock up 200 feet above when having to take down the tops of the chimneys by hand…& never looked like falling off. an oul fella doing it in his hobnails & overalls looong before these trendy youtuber free climbers with their fancy gopro’s were born. he had chimneys already down when others would be still at a drawing board doing complex maths to model it first.
