The Silent Treatment

Gulp.

Orwell Road, Rathgar, Dublin 6.

Meanwhile…

….via Irish Mirror:

A source said: “The embassy is struggling because no one wants to do business with them as a result of what’s happening in Ukraine. It’s not only some oil companies they’re having issues with, it’s banks too and many more businesses.”

The Irish Mirror also understands that Bank of Ireland has decided to suspend their accounts with the Russian Embassy in Ireland, according to senior sources.

When contacted, a spokesman for Bank of Ireland said the firm can’t comment on any individual account. It’s understood the embassy also had both its boiler contract and fuel card account ended by separate companies.

A second source said: “The Department of Foreign Affairs wouldn’t be stepping in to get anyone anything.”

    I expect it is mere coincidence that most of the virtue signalling comes out of one of the most affluent areas of Dublin.

    BLM mark II for sure.

        The fact that you think that the embassy is located there is as a result of a false flag operation from the British, in kahoots with BLM, and the Angelsey Road Residents’ Association.

      This is a boycott by (mostly anonymous) companies. The very opposite of “virtue signalling”

      it’s remarkable that you don’t get paid for this. If you’re good bad at something, never do it for free.

        He/she reminds me of that nut who set themselves up as the self-styled “Serbian Ministry for Information” in Ireland and spent all day writing letters to the Irish Times in support of Mladić and Karadžić’s genocide in the Balkans in the early 1990s. Worse still the Irish Times published the buffoonery – for the same reason BS publishes this toxic and untrue guff – other people respond.

        “Critical thinking”.

          I know it’s easy to poke fun but I genuinely believe he’s suffering from mental health problems and no matter how ludicrous some of the crap he comes out with is, I for one would not like to think I contributed towards making someone ill.

            I never was never particularly in agreement with SOQ, but he went from being a progressive-lefty type to a full-time mouthpiece for right-wing dictators – it is genuinely is quite sad.

            total rubbish.
            he was obsessed with the ‘Ra and kneecappings
            when sloppy he’d post about ‘young lads’ in wheelchairs
            until a few started calling it his fetish and ‘wheels’.
            you like him Rob cause he hates SF and Mary Lou.

          3. Hughie Luas

            young lads in wheelchairs?

            I always had them more of a “I rode a tank, held a general’s rank” Walter Mitty ouevre in mind. Still, you never really know someone do you…

            ”the Irish Times published the buffoonery – for the same reason BS publishes this toxic and untrue guff – other people respond.”

            Nail on head. No-one could seriously be that disingenuous and hypocritical.
            He’s a comment generator – bumbling into every thread saying something controversial or provocative, picking fights across multiple threads to generate yet more comments, protected by Bodger because he generates clicks, best to ignore him and he’ll be left talking to himself and his small band of cheerleaders/alts.

            Ever notice the SOQs and kcavans don’t really talk to each other much? It’s all about the argument.

          6. Steph Pinker

            Ian – oG et al., the hypocrisy is astounding – SOQ has obviously hit a nerve with a few of you; take a leaf out of your own books before you gather as a puny little cackle of hyenas to belittle and attack him and the valid concerns a few of us have for society and the world we live in.

            More to the point, grow up and seek help yourselves.

        2. Hughie Luas

          If you have to pick on murder and rape to get your jollies by acting like Brendan O’Neill and John Waters (IE), you need to have your head and your internet browsing history examined by an adult.

          Remember. SOQ can remain anonymous while s/he can get the help they so badly need.

          Step 1, Steph – acceptance. The other 11 come next.

            Hughie, you’re so sincere in and of your ignorance you wear it like a badge; the aspirations of learning, empathy and understanding have long passed you by.

            Good luck to you.

          2. SOQ

            I need help now do I Hughie Luas????? You ignorant clown.

            I am not the one who spends their time making personal and vindictive attacks on others. I am not the one sitting under half a dozen usernames. I am not the one with two or three personas.

            It is like an online version of a bloody psychiatric ward.

            I am definately not the one parroting the government BS ad nauseam.

            Am I really such a threat to you clowns? Yea I probably am. You don’t like what people say on this site, then pee off somewhere else with your bullying- it really is that simple.

      “..The murders at Bucha are merely one entry in a litany of atrocities. The targeting of Ukrainian civilians is so ubiquitous that it can only be intentional: On Febuary 25, a cluster bomb struck a preschool in Sumy where civilians sheltered; on March 9, Russia attacked Mariupol’s maternity hospital; on March 16, it bombed that city’s municipal theater, killing 300 people, despite the fact that children had been painted in large white letters on the ground in front of the sanctuary; and it has leveled apartment blocks in Kharkiv, Kyiv, and every other city that it has sought to capture, as if the destruction of the Ukrainian home was part of the war plan. The Kremlin even agreed to humanitarian escape corridors from besieged Mariupol and then turned around and shelled the refugees who used them.”

    Bank Of Ireland is meant to belong to the Irish tax payer. Was thst not part of the bailout deal?

    So can they do that, and stop acting like an American bank. Which represents corporate and hedge fund interests, like ‘Blackrock’ . The Napoleon brandies don’t spill far from their top tables.

    They have form. https://www.irishnews.com/news/2016/10/05/news/bank-of-ireland-declines-to-comment-on-claims-it-closed-irish-palestine-solidarity-accounts-720741/

    Yanks For Nothin!

        Blackrock is a larger shreholder in Bank of “Ireland”,than the state.
        Any bank has the right to refuse customers or close accounts and seize funds,hand them over the state,then you get prove how you got the swag,which is why you keep a large wedge on account with a good brief.
        what is CAB ?
