Legend when it comes to “discussing Uganda”.
“Discussing Uganda” In 1973, the satirical magazine Private Eye reported that journalist Mary Kenny had been disturbed in the arms of a former cabinet minister of President Obote of Uganda during a party. Variations of “Ugandan discussions” or “discussing Uganda” – the term is believed to have been coined by the poet James Fenton – were subsequently used by the Eye to describe any ill
He’s not an intellectual.
He’s a hack aiming for the lowest common denominator of Brit-bashing.
Just like he aimed for EU-bashing when he urged Ireland to burn the bondholders.
Just because he uses longer words doesn’t make his stuff any less populist than a Sun front page splash.
But worst of all he’s a racist.
An Irish version of Enoch Powell whipping up ill-feeling.
Mary Kenny took him to the cleaners and exposed him for the pompous old fraud that he is.

…I have to confess that, politically, I’m not a big fan of Fintan but he is an undoubted polymath…Mary Kenny is not. To wheel out a list of second and third generation migrants to support your argument is hardly a demolition job. In my limited experience I’ve always been shocked that the loudest voices in the UK for curbing migration come from those like Pritti Patel who have special reason to be thankful for being given refuge from tyrants like Ide Amin. To compare Fintan to Enoch Powell is nonsense…Fintan is a much more astute thinker. Didn’t Enoch end up in the North with the Unionists as his last refuge…

O’Toole has become a parody of himself,drawing on ever more ludicrous analogies to back up his Rizla-thin argument.
He reckons in Never mind the Bollocks here’s Brexit that everyone who voted Leave must have been a punk back in the day.
I mean,seriously ? 17.4 million people ?
Anyway,I’m looking forward to No Deal Brexit,the social and economic upheaval in Ireland and Varadkar getting the blame with O’Toole leading the charge.
History shows that he always waits to see which direction a bandwagon is heading in before leaping on board to wrestle the reigns off the driver.
He’s as shallow as a puddle of dog wee wee.

That’s exactly what I was thinking Brother, pollie has certainly changed his tune and tone in recent times.

…I totally agree with you when it comes to recognising democratic outcomes like the Brexit vote or the rejection of crooked Hillary. I don’t know why Fintan O’Toole bothers…I’d prefer if he dedicated his erudition exclusively to the arts…but I am sure he is motivated by concern for the brits.
For me…I subscribe to the idea that you should never distract your enemy when he’s making big mistakes…

“Anyway,I’m looking forward to No Deal Brexit,the social and economic upheaval in Ireland and Varadkar getting the blame with O’Toole leading the charge.”
While over in Blighty it’s all sunshine and lollipops. Sounds to me like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

@Bodger. The duplicate routine should invoke once the exact same post is presented twice but as above, at times it does not. The first is not presented until after the second which is obviously too late. This is a platform issue so they need to come up with some answers.

That was the exact same post, there was always a space between sing and song. I record all posts from my devices on the internet so no confusion.

Ah, now, that’s very unfair! Look at all the lies he has to make up, non existent wife, friends, cash, life, experience, . Plus he has to think about how little he’s wanted here. And that’s a lot.

John Higgins (70) was convicted yesterday of not filling out the census forms in Census 2016. John objected because the company involved in Census 2016, CACI has links to the US military and, allegedly, human rights abuses in Iraq.
The District Court judge in Ennis refused to allow John’s defence complete the reading out of a letter from John to the CSO in 2016 which provided his reasoning for the refusal.
“The allegation was that Mr Higgins didn’t return his Census form and your client is now engaged in using and abusing this court in terms of spelling out the political position he has – and I won’t have it. I want no more about Iraq and what is happening out there.”
Be nice if Bodger could show us the full letter which Judge Durcan saw fit to censor yesterday.
Much is being made of the “quick thinking Garda” who took screen shots of the encrypted Blackberry being used by the Estonian hitman hired by the Kinahan organised crime gang. Just as that Garda got to the final message, all the messages were remotely deleted. How dramatic!
I would love to know when the screen shots were taken, relative to the arrest of the hitman. How did someone know the hitman was arrested and his Blackberry was in the hands of the Gardai? My money would be on another crooked Garda alerting the Kinahans.

Calm down Dingleberry – you’ll do yourself an injury.

Keep em coming, monkey, you’re getting attention! Tell your wife! Oh no, sorry, you can’t.

“Netflix to spend about $8bn on content this year”
I stayed in a Marriott in Spain during the year. Should I be concerned?
A quite superb demolition job on the bovine stupidity of Brexit O’Toole by the Indo’s Mary Kenny.
I couldn’t have put it better myself.
She takes apart his smug and narrow-minded Brit-bashing with clinical accuracy.
It’s the smartest thing I’ve read on Brexit in the Irish media in the nearly two years since the referendum.
