        The Guardian, Hughie, The Guardian?
        You do know there’s a reason it’s the lowest-selling daily newspaper in the UK?
        I know I’m being slightly dishonest in calling it a newspaper.

        1. anti bot

          Go on reply. is it acceptable for a Russia to invade Urkania and kill innocent people. Why can’t you reply? Who are you working for?

      2. K. Cavan

        Syd was very over-rated. Most of the Floyd stuff with him on it sounds more like Monty Python.

    1. Dinkum

      Irish citizens still living in Russia
      Well in all honesty expulsion of 2 Irish diplomats expelled from Russia is hardly news since Ireland did the same

    3. Dinkum

      I thought Ukraine was Ukrainian and there was no historical links to Russia
      But as history states the map today is vastly different to near on a century ago

      1. K. Cavan

        The Atlantic, yeah, they did a big article declaring that Russia would never invade Ukraine, 48 hours before the invasion. Must’ve had some inside knowledge.

    1. K. Cavan

      The Guardian, again, well it’s good that they have a readership in Ireland, Ferg, they haven’t really got any in the UK, apart from mentally ill people who work at the BBC. Their circulation might take a bit of a nosedive when that lunatic fringe organisation is finally taken off the air.

      2067?
      Sounds about right to me.
      Something similar happened to Ireland after independence, it took almost 50 years for our economy to take off.

      1. stephen moran

        well like the brits we were the agents of our own misfortune by tying our hands and legs voluntarily and exporting our human capital like cattle – We had an army of ideological luddites kissing the catholic ring – the worst thing the Brtis did to Ireland in the 20th century was not shooting Spanish American De Valera in 1916.

        1. K. Cavan

          We didn’t really export our “human capital” stephen, they left voluntarily, because Ireland is a hole. Human capital, eh, you have a sound grip on the language of psychopathy. Of course everything would’ve been different if Dev had been shot, definitely. We wouldn’t be a failed state, about to go out of business, again, we’d be Wakanda or maybe Sierra Leone, wait, we are Sierra Leone!
          Definitely, though, everything is Dev’s fault, even the weather.

    1. K. Cavan

      That’s the Bill Gates WHO, yeah? The ones who did the fake pandemic, with the killer fake vaccines?
      They should rebrand as the WDO, World Death Organisation.

        1. K. Cavan

          Hmmm, “sub-Marvel”? You reckon the WHO is fine & dandy then, Nigel, Marvel-ous, even? It figures, really, you do seem to like that special mixture of globalism & neo-fascism, of incompetence & corruption, that they’re pretty much the poster-boys for.
          Remember their world-wide Swine Flu pandemic or am I thinking of their world-wide Bird Flu pandemic? The Swine Flu one was more successful, managed to cost Ireland a quarter of a billion with their toxic “vaccine”.
          Good practice for what was to come, though, eh? I think Gates has made some improvements since he took over, they’re much more effective villains, now.
          I hate cape sh!t.

        How did your ‘evening with Matt Le Tissier’ go down the Lapstone last night? I heard you got lamped and tried to pull the ‘wig’ off some old doll, you thought was an undercover trans operative.

    I see Liar O’Neill now getting into a position of power. Why didn’t Claire Byrne get a place on the new Covid ‘advisory’ Liars Grouping?

    Here’s how history has already recorded Luke O’Neill’s pronouncements.

    – He stated ‘Vaccinations are stopping transmission.’ (No they’re not)
    – ‘When vaccination reaches a high level ‘the virus goes away’ ‘ (No it doesn’t)
    – ‘We can prevent Covid through vaccination’ (No you can’t)
    – ‘All of the vaccines, including AstraZeneca, will prevent you getting sick and ending up in hospital.’ (No they won’t)

    Imaging getting advice from him.

      1. GiggidyGoo

        Well, if you look at. Luke ‘$ record, I’ve no doubt that he would be your go to. Unless he’s a protestant of course

        1. bisted

          …as I said…can’t decide who to seek medical advice from…a professor of immunology or a ratlicker…who did you seek advice from before you got vaccinated Giggser?

          4. GiggidyGoo

            As I say, Bisted, he’d be your go-to. You think he’s a Professor of Immunology. Lordy me.

          5. bisted

            …as I also said…I know zero about medicine except the daily dose of misinformation and quackery offered here…I do know the difference between advice based on science offered by a brilliant communicator and a ratlicker on the internet…even a vaccinated one…

          6. GiggidyGoo

            Great that you know nothing, yet you’re comfortable taking advice from the purveyor of false information, Luke O’Neill with this history?

            He stated ‘Vaccinations are stopping transmission.’ (No they’re not)
            – ‘When vaccination reaches a high level ‘the virus goes away’ ‘ (No it doesn’t)
            – ‘We can prevent Covid through vaccination’ (No you can’t)
            – ‘All of the vaccines, including AstraZeneca, will prevent you getting sick and ending up in hospital.’ (No they won’t)

            All of that is on record. He communicated the lies well. That’s what counts for you, on your journey to Hameln.

            If my advice is to take his lies as such – lies, what’s your problem with that?

          7. bisted

            …yes Giggser…we know what you think of Saint Luke…but…whose advice did you heed when you got vaccinated…and…have you had your booster?

          8. GiggidyGoo

            Already answered those questions Bisted – directly to you. Look the answers up.
            While you’re searching, why not tune into Lukie boy for another plethora of lies?

          9. K. Cavan

            Well, Luke O’Neill might make an exception if an individual asked him for advice & actually tell the truth. It would be out of character but you’d never know.

      2. Broadbag

        Luke O’Neill is away with the fairies (and dangerously so) so in this case I might actually take GG’s view under consideration.

      3. jonjoe

        Good question bisted.
        But I’d certainly look at a person’s record when considering their advice.

    2. Gavin

      Hes a flip-flopper extraordinaire, then again he has a few books out so would say anything to stay in the media’s eye, certainly wouldn’t be listening to anything he has to say, you might as well be getting advice from Twitter as from Luke.

    3. K. Cavan

      When the “booster” scam was announced, Luke “Porky” O’Neill went on Newstalk & declared that these “boosters” were different from the original injections (a lie) & that they’d give “several years robust immunity” (a damn lie). Obviously, he’d time-travelled into the future, performed serum tests on injected people, then hopped back with the Good News.
      He’s exactly the type of scumbag that our politicians like to flock together with.

    Nice to see the Indo giving Jay Bourke a vaseline on the lens soft porn platform to play the serial victimhood card where it’s always someone else’s fault – as with other shameless sub dollar store serial losers and grifting charlatans like Trump there never any mentions of the 1,000’s of suppliers etc. these guys leave in the lurch deeply out of pocket

    1. Cú Chulainn

      Yeah, Bourke has a long history of leaving financial ruin behind him. It’s the same story every time. Just about every business he’s set up. About time he was done properly.

      1. SOQ

        Not true- he was a part owner in one of Dublin’s most successful gay venues Pantibar. I am not sure if he still involved there mind, but he certainly was.

        1. stephen moran

          he owes €13.5 million to creditors including 500k to Revenue – fact – he’s a compete fraud and a total charlatan

          1. TenPin Terry

            Have you ever run a business One Vowel™ ?
            The fact you spend so much time on here suggests to me you’re either unemployed or in the public sector.
            Which sometimes is the same thing.

          2. stephen moran

            In relative terms I spend very little time on here – Having worked for 30 years plus I’m independent financially and do a bit of low VIX trading now- erratum Bourke owes €13.7mm

          3. TenPin Terry

            Perhaps it’s your constant snivelling which makes it appear you’re on here most of the time.
            ” Having worked for 30 years plus I’m independent financially ” – public sector it is then …

    Hungary breaks ranks with EU by offering to purchase Russian energy in rubles

    Hungary said it could pay rubles for Russian gas, breaking ranks with the European Union which has sought a united front in opposing Moscow’s demand for payment in the currency.

    Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto earlier said that EU authorities had “no role” to play in its gas supply deal with Russia, which was based on a bilateral contract between units of Hungarian state-owned MVM and Gazprom.

    https://newseu.cgtn.com/news/2022-04-07/Hungary-breaks-ranks-with-EU-by-offering-to-purchase-energy-in-rubles-191gtvL5aow/index.html

    I suppose that after the EU blocking all funds to Hungary because they didn’t like who was elected, they have nothing to lose.

    1. scottser

      the eu is withholding funding from hungary are because they won’t get on board with equality legislation, not because they ‘don’t like who is in power’. same as poland.
      get a grip.

      1. SOQ

        And that never used before rule slashing funds to Hungary one day after Orbán was re-elected, was just a coincidence I suppose?

          2. scottser

            the process has been going on for months.
            fill your head with whatever bullshit you want, just keep it to yourself please.

          3. SOQ

            What process exactly?

            The announcement was made two days after Orbán won the election- FACT- and it is quite obvious he is no fan of the EU, and them of him.

            If the opposition had won, it wouldn’t have happened so yes, it was because Orbán’s re-election.

      2. K. Cavan

        Which “equality legislation” do you teckon Hungary won’t “get on board with” scottser? Or did you just pull that one out of your posterior?
        What does getting on board with equality legislation even mean, exactly?
        We all know why the EU is trying to bully Hungary, it’s got nothing to do with equality or legislation.

    1. SOQ

      Far right conspiracy theorist Clare Daly gets stuck into the EU again yesterday.

      “History has taught us sanctions do not end military conflict…they’re not going to help save lives…the more arms you pump into Ukraine, the more the war will be prolonged, and more Ukrainians will die.”

      “Your feigning of sympathy rings hollow. It makes me sick to be honest with you.”

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8EgN7m-mFs

      Keep going Madam Daly, keep going.

      1. Gavin

        The slapping of the desk and storming out at the end….LOL…although the shouting isn’t needed from Claire, doesn’t do her any favors.

        1. SOQ

          No, I love it- her and Mick are so at odds with the well spoken polished politicos in their nice suits.

          1. Gavin

            Yeah it is good see some enthusiasm in politics rather than the usual drab boring reading from a script

        2. K. Cavan

          Is it unladylike, Gavin, do you reckon? It would probably be ok if she was a man, maybe? Or perhaps if she was doing a bit of war-mongering or if she was in one of the Fascist parties, FF or FG?
          Banging tables, eh? Can’t be having it. Lol.

      2. Nigel

        Another of the weird cohort who think the obstacle to peace in Ukraine is Ukrainians defending themselves.

          2. K. Cavan

            Oh, I reckon I could surprise you quite easily, Nigel. You’re a rather credulous type, who thinks people who disagree with you are “weird”.
            BOO!

      3. Cian

        https://www.joe.ie/news/clare-daly-russian-state-tv-745859

        Daly was described as a “voice of reason” on Russian state television.

        A speech from Clare Daly has been widely shared and praised on Russian state television for condemning sanctions against the country.

        The Irish Member of the European Parliament (MEP) criticised moves to sanction Russia as a response to the ongoing invasion in Ukraine.
        […]

        The clip has since been edited to remove mention of war and Russian responsibility, and broadcast as part of a panel discussion on Channel 1.
        […]
        Elena Suponina, a panelist on Channel 1 described Daly’s speech as evidence that there were people in Europe who saw the war as the US trying to weaken the European economy.

        The same clip was introduced on Russia-1, the second largest channel in the country, describing Daly as the voice of reason.

        2. SOQ

          And? She’s right- they will come to the table- the only question is how many innocent lives are going to be lost in the meantime.

          It is a queer world we are living in where diplomacy and taking the middle ground are frowned upon- especially by those claiming to be champions of the ordinary Ukrainian people

          1. Nigel

            I don’t think it’s diplomacy to demand that the people being invaded go to a table that isn’t actually there.

          3. bisted

            …as has been commented already…sleepy Joe and his proxy army will fight to the last Ukrainian…

          4. Nigel

            Why won’t they just let Putin kill as many of those pesky Ukrainians as he needs to make his perfectly valid point?

          6. K. Cavan

            Hey, Tom j, go back to peeking at your neighbours through your net curtains, what a sad comment. Suits you, though.

          8. Tom J

            Yeah, I like the way the Russian army diplomatically invaded Ukraine and are diplomatically murdering civilians.

          11. anti bot

            why no reply? Is it right to invade another country? I’ve asked you this 10 times, you’ve never replied. Who’s paying you?

          1. It's Grim Up North

            lololololol Harney stopped watching rte a couple of years ago and now won’t stop yelling it at everyone on the bus. Single deckers only of course. lolololololololol

      4. anti bot

        Ah go on answer, is it acceptable for one country to invade another? What can’t you answer? You spend all day on here, attacking people with different views but you cannot answer a simple question. who I’d paying you?

  11. stephen moran

    Well the taxman cometh this time (super preferred creditor) – but of course it’s all the fault of Goldie’s and the worldwide Jewish banking conspiracy ( that jaded time honoured 1930’s Nazi trope)

    1. K. Cavan

      Imagine being somewhere or in something or at some place or around anything that had Nancy Pelosi in charge of it?
      Run for your life, it’s going to explode, fall apart, disintigrate or collapse!

      1. johnny

        ….
        “The former president’s desperate lies aside, the speaker was no more in charge of the security of the U.S. Capitol that day than Mitch McConnell,” said Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Pelosi.”
