You’ll see the name of an ecclesiastical supplier everywhere in Irish media today. He was one of six ppl named in a court injunction restraining him from erecting a fence to bar entry to a new DP centre in Ballinamore Nov 2019. #RussianEmbassy

🇷🇺 NEW diplomatic row: the Russian Embassy in Dublin says the truck which rammed its gate today did so “in the presence of Garda officers, who stood idle” – and accuses Ireland of breaching the Vienna Convention by not protecting the premises from any damage. @VirginMediaNews pic.twitter.com/QjRg8i70O9

Holy crow.

This afternoon.
Orwell Road, Rathgar, Dublin 6.
Pro-Ukraine protestors attempt to block cars leaving the Russian Embassy.
Name those jammers, anyone?
“name those jammers” ??? who gives a flyin fupp what cars theyre driving? It’s not posh n becks, its political staff from a country that wants to destroy the world.
*Russian rep pulls up, lies to the world about committing genocide, wiping out children, families, innocent civilians, threatens other countries with the same if they speak up, threatens nuclear war*
bodger *kicking the tyre – “nice car, man. what’s that? the 7 series? all electric is she?”
Are you lost Father? You do know what website you are on, yeah, good lad.
Forgive me “Dr”, not Father :)
It’s probably just a blameless envoy doing a run to Centra.
Ecclesiastical Supplies surprise attack from the rear… or Goods Inwards?
;-)
Someone ordered 100 missals?
“20 Silk Cut mauve and 2 Novichok ices, luv”
Sorely a clerical error.
‘a country that wants to destroy the world’
I think your understating the evil intent. They actually want to destroy (holds pinky to mouth a la Dr Evil) THE UNIVERSE!!!
Agree completely with the first commenter regards the model of car … also it is much more interesting to note the eccliastical services truck
Pro America, not pro Ukraine.
If you can not see this is a petrodollar war you are blind.
Ukraine is just a puppet caught in the middle.
How right you are!
This is b1oody mass hysteria, lunatic stuff.
This is one other war among many wars, nothing essentially different about it and ALL wars are nasty with the common people paying in blood and tears.
Speaking of lunacy, my own little theory is that the best chance of what passes for ‘world peace’ is to re-elect Trump – I know, be careful what you wish for and all that! I do believe that Putin was wary of playing hard-ball when Trump was in power because, while hard-ball is predictable with a doddering old fool, it ain’t advisable with a ravin’ lunatic …
As usual the oinks use these things to justify their hatred
The driver should loose his licence for this for starters
Were there any signs?

In fairness. Well done. Keep sending a message to Putin and keep the usual BS commenters foaming at the mouth and front of the keks.
Names of the jammers? Tough one. Is there an a Olek or a Boryslav in there somewhere?
What message would that be? That a certain amount of the Irish population have become unhinged – after years of unrelenting propaganda?
Not a good look in fairness.
That’s enough about the regular BS commentators.
Lol. Not surprised to see Chris has fallen for Putin.
Can anyone explain what it is that makes certain people all of the following: pro-Putin, antivaxx, pro-climate change denial, pro-brexit, anti-trans, pro-Trump?
It intrigues me. Perhaps more intriguing is that these types can’t seem to see the pattern in themselves.
Not everyone drives on the middle of the road it’s really that simple. I have grown really tired of your sneering at those with whom you disagree
You mean you’ve grown really tired of being sneered at.
You should get a new hobby so, or some sense.
No you haven’t sneered at me before
But you are relentless and nasty
Take your own advice
I think its because they’re bumholes lacking in empathy so they spread lies about innocent victims of a war started by an egomaniac.
Such a simple minded view of the world.
I envy you a little bit at the same time I put this kind of simplemindedness down to a repressive catholic upbringing
Says a progressive immoral protestant.
I’m not pro Putin or Trump, nor anti trans.
As SOQanon likes to say, time will tell..
It’s all a bit crazy on here lately eh?
Bodger and Nick getting loadsa hassle
All I can say is, that anyone who can work a line from Lethal Weapon 2 into a headline is alright in my book ;-)
Keep it up lads
Two well know communionists.
Riggs and Murtaugh?
We’re getting too old for this plop.
Micko; I didn’t get the movie reference but when it comes to actually interviewing any actor regarding speech, diction and tone I’ll settle for a compromise between Dave Fanning and Christopher Walken.
… just or future reference BS; if a tiny local radio station in Wicklow can get Matt Damon then surely you should consider Walken! Give a bribe of a Supervalu bag if need be?
Yes, because people disagree with them.
If they maybe put together some sort of coherent and researched hypothesis or argument outlining their position, instead of inferring their point by posting something with little or no context, followed by hmmm or mmmf. It is too easy to misconstrue their point, whatever it may be, in the current guise, and it’s irresponsible journalism.
Like, if they have a point, then make it. Don’t do this kind of thing, it does no one any favours at all – least of all them.
Millie, I think most people get the gist of these smaller posts, but I hear you. In mitigation, there’s only two of us left here – up against a lot of propaganda – and we have published hundreds of thousands of words by others that outline our position, certainly better than I could, and have ourselves posted a 25,000-word investigation on the nursing home scandal for example.
Thanks for the response Bodger, it’s appreciated.
It’s as they say, I may protest what you say but I’ll protest your right to say it. I think there’s an obligation to be responsible to what you post, and while I know you and Nick are very dedicated, I do think that putting together where you can a coherent argument (like with the nursing homes scandal or the mother and baby story) gives you a better position with which to combat the abuse you two get.
(As an aside, I didn’t know your staff numbers were so diminished. Fair play for keeping on.)

How else do you think that bloomin’ Charger was able to sneak back in ?
The pair of ’em were distracted having a ruck over who gets the last chocolate Hobnob and shazam, he was in like Flynn.
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.”
Dr Marcia Angell
“A lot of what is published is incorrect.” I’m not allowed to say who made this remark because we were asked to observe Chatham House rules. We were also asked not to take photographs of slides…Why the paranoid concern for secrecy and non-attribution? Because this symposium – on the reproducibility and reliability of biomedical research… – touched on one of the most sensitive issues in science today: the idea that something has gone fundamentally wrong with one of our greatest human creations. The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, “poor methods get results” …The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour is alarming. In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data… And individual scientists, including their most senior leaders, do little to alter a research culture that occasionally veers close to misconduct.”
Dr Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of the Lancet 2015
There’s only one Chatham House rule
That was a bit silly. Try that on some embassies and you might get yourself shot at. Risky stuff. At least nobody hurt (but an innocent gate)….
we’re not afraid of burning down embassies here.
Same unemployed loons that were out at COVID protests I assume
The unemployed loon driving the commercial vehicle?
An idiot behind the wheel
That would be an ecumenical matter!
Does this count as a trucker protest?
Only if they freeze the protestors ability to order a ‘Just Eat’…
Or pay their bills
Already these Irish protests outside the embassy have been more violent than any of the trucker protests.
Not more violent than Putin though and you’ve no issue with that.
It take a very strange person to be more concerned about violence towards a gate than people.
Specsavers?
Candle supplier to churches…..the Russians were obviously getting on his wick!
They should mind their own beeswax
Well done to those men. Hurray for the lorry driver.
Hurray my ass! It was a stupid, mindless, embarrassing act.
No cheers for him. It’s not impossible that his anger partly stems from being annoyed that Russia’s actions will likely lead to more immigrants arriving in Ireland. He’s not particularly fond of immigrants being housed in certain places.
You mean in the Main Street in Ballinamore?
The same. He’s gone as far as Oughterard to be annoyed, too.

Anyone would think that great defender of children’s rights, the Irish Catholic Church, was trying to send a message to Russia. In which case Russia might be the one on the side of children’s rights… it’s so confusing!
I won’t be getting into a van with ‘Ecclesiastical Supplies’ on the side any time soon, that’s for sure!
can’t believe nobody bothered to give a nod to your headline there Bodger, Riggs and Murtaugh very nicely done indeed
on the incident itself would be awful unlucky if a readymix truck were to lose its 6 cubic meter load just there at the footpath dish in an unfortunate incident, let’s hope that doesn’t happen, would be fierce messy
Ahem… up above good sir :p
