Defence against what and with what ?
The skies above Ireland are defended by the Royal Air Force, the Irish Navy can barely cobble together a seaworthy boat even if they could find the people to crew it and the entire elite forces of the Irish army could be transported in a Thomas The Tank Engine road train.

Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs has raised concerns with Russian authorities over planned missile tests off the Irish coast next month.
We cross now to the Kremlin where the news has just been conveyed to Vlad the Bad Putin.
Is that real money V?

It up to the BBC to check their own content
And until they withdraw it, I am entitled to rely on it’s information
Even if it is a very thin layer of info
Incidentally, a balance quoted in any info

The sum of debits and credits posted, what column that final balance appears in financial reports / statements defines whether tis a Debit Balance
Or a Credit Balance
And even more importantly – is it a P&L item

Surely in these times of dishonest media it is up to the individual to check their sources because the BBC and their ilk are proven liars. I remember when the destruction of Libya was underway that august organ printed on their front page a 1/4 size photo of, and I quote not verbatim, “The Libian people marching to protest against Ghadaffi” The photo was in fact of the Iraqi people marching in celebration of Sadam Hussein, 15 years before. The text on the plaqards proclaimed the support for that infamous dick-tator. Ooops BBC.

Also, striking images coming out of London where NHS staff threw down their uniforms over mandates- the same NHS staff who were being clapped a year ago. The NHS is very popular with the general public so this is a thorny issue for the government.
In normal times, where up to 10% of NHS staff were to be fired, the main media would be all over such a story but these are not normal times. That a sizeable number of medical professionals are so reluctant to take these injections is by its very nature, a taboo subject these days.

Peter Doshi, a senior editor of the BMJ – one of the world’s oldest general medical journals – calls for the full and immediate release of all data related to COVID vaccines and treatments.
A comparison of official Government reports suggests the Fully Vaccinated are suffering Antibody Dependent Enhancement
We can clearly see from world-wide data that the real-world effectiveness of the Covid-19 injections wains significantly in a short amount of time, but unfortunately for the vaccinated population, rather than the immune system returning to the same state it was prior to vaccination, the immune system performance begins to rapidly decline making it inferior to that of the unvaccinated.
