      Oh look- 17 minutes after the papers went up. So who are you going to try and bully off the site today eh?

      Funny how the bullies flip into victim mode at the drop of a hat.

      1. paul

        anyone with a passing knowledge of the Broadsheet comments section can see that for hypocrisy, SOQ. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

        1. SOQ

          See what for hypocrisy? This nasty vindictive little troll spent weeks stalking every single post I made- and you are hardly know for you civility either- picking fights like oversized school children in a playground.

          Do not try and deflect this narcissistic nonsense onto me.

          I got called a retard yesterday for calling out the runaway sexist pig. it’s still online.

          1. paul

            K. Cavan plays the same cards and the website lets it slide. I don’t think anyone other than SOQ wants to climb down to those depths so sure let them have it. Mouths crying out for soap.

          2. SOQ

            Tell me- do you come on here JUST to fight with people or do you actually have anything to contribute?

          3. paul

            Harney in here with the incisive commentary, glad to have you aboard.

            SOQ, I come to Broadsheet for 4 reasons. 1. The news headlines to get an idea of what’s going on, 2. to read and sometimes to contribute to debate (that back and forth thing, I’m sure you’ve heard of it), 3. the occasional light-hearted article to brighten up my day and 4. the pop the bubbles of dopes like you who believe they can force their own agenda down other peoples throats and then get pissy when people object. You sling mud, strawmen and ad hominems and pull an absolute freaker when people call you out on it. I don’t think Broadsheet is protecting you, if anything, they’re giving you all the rope you need.

            Let us know when your strategies work out and you convert anyone other than Harney the busted flush.

          4. anti bot

            soq, the man who can’t debate, or offer any logical reason to any argument. When he lods off his aliases log on

      I think the news reporting that Putin is going to nuke Ireland is defiantly fake news or maybe how Putin views simple Simon
      Time the two fishermen from west cork were dispatched to the Russian embassy to resolve the issue
      Sure they sorted out the Russian navy
      I would say another scaremongering to have us do away with our neutrality

    Gwannn!!!
    Ronnie O’Sullivan (The Rocket!) best sportsman ever!!!

    Absolutely amazing!

  2. jungleman

    Genuinely what is the point of commenting on this site? There are certain commenters (SOQ being the main one) that are being minded and if anything is said that is just a little too acerbic, the comment is deleted. He just called me a “retarded monkey” and my inoffensive response gets immediately deleted while his comment remains.

    Edit: and now I’m in moderation!!! Pathetic.

    1. Joe F

      And they allow Ten Pull Terry to write posts with very crude words. I’m all for free speech but some basic manners and respect seem to have gone with the Indians on this site. It’s a pity, I think Broadsheet is excellent overall, something different, but that’s my one gripe – how they deal with some comments.

    2. Cú Chulainn

      It is what it is, but not what it could be and most certainly not what it should be. There you have it.

      1. Verbatim

        I was appalled by the cruel comments, on Bank Holiday Monday Papers, which were piled on to some people, and we are people. “Schizophrenic”, “mental”, “retard”, and other cut-to-the-bone comments I have to ask myself is this a place I want to spend time where such cruelty and not a modicum of respect to some of our fellows is to be found. I ask myself, would I feel OK if I found out later that I was responsible for harm to someone on this board due to an (extreme) angry comment? I know I’d never forgive myself, so I tend not to call people out, ESPECIALLY if I’ve detected, or someone has detected that he/she has mental health issues.

        1. SOQ

          So if someone is obsessively stalking and harassing other people Verbatim- what do you do? It is fine and well to get on the high horse about sensitivities, but when such are using multiple accounts to abuse and bully others, then surely pushback is inevitable?

          Furthermore, good mental health is not reserved to one or more individuals. All we have is what people type, and apart from their comments, no one has any idea what other people are going through. Where is the consideration for them eh? We are not punch bags.

          One thing is for certain- prolonged harassment and bullying is not healthy- it is not healthy for the victims- it is not healthy for those reading it- and I suspect it is not healthy for those doing it either.

          1. anti bot

            But you bully every one on here who disagrees with you especially the women. You call them names, you derise them. You really are horrid

          2. andrew

            A couple of days ago, it chased another commenter around, insisting he/she apologise for what it deemed to be a “lie”. Can you actually believe the rank hypocrisy?

            I called it out on one – just one – lie it told re the composition of Ukraine’s government a week or so ago – and simply asked that it either verify or retract. Of course, did neither – just doubled down with more lies. Disgusting liar.

          3. SOQ

            And what else do you call someone who repeatedly demand a response to the same questions over and over again- despite having them answered more than once?

          4. anti bot

            soq so it was you who called me a retard yesterday? Yet you used the name Cavan. Unbelievable. Get a mirror and lie to yourself.

        2. Kin

          Verbatim I do think some of the posts regarding SOQ are a bit harsh at times and bordering on offensive

    3. Vlad X. Novichok

      Sure when you become one of the special tankies you’ll be taken care of. Or, it’ll be tea with Bodger if you don’t.

      1. Kin

        Apparently todays nukes are less pollutant than Nigel’s view on turf
        I think we need to either drop turf on Russia or parachute eamon Ryan over Moscow

    1. Joe F

      You remind me of Brendan O’Carroll, resorting to crude language when you can’t express yourself. Another example of Broadsheet not banning inappropriate content.

      1. Kin

        Brendan O’Carroll a second rate Roy Chubby Brown
        The only time I could ever warm to Brendan is if someone threw me on a bonfire
        HIS Mrs Browns boys was a rip off from Les Dawson

    1. jonjoker

      Do others find it curious that even a news item about the weather in E Africa is made to be about Ukraine?

    ” Please explain to me why Ireland is celebrating a centenary of its independence from the UK, yet, to defend that sovereignty, relies almost entirely on the UK ? ”
    ” Ireland cannot defend itself today, let alone tomorrow. ”
    Embarrassing observations from Finland where senior military officials have concluded the Irish Defence Forces are not fit for purpose.
    Morto.

      Ireland will always be able to defend itself. We took on the British and won. No mean feat.

      1. Kin

        Tom
        We spend on defence one third of what Ukraine spends
        At least they have a navy (ships that can be mustered with a crew) fighter jets and the capibility of humbling Russia
        And to be honest we must think is our government worth defending
        The last people I would fight for is Leo varadkar Simon coveney Micky martin and eamon Ryan
        I just wonder exactly the value for money we get

        1. Tom J

          Kin,
          From what I hear they are not doing too well with their navy and army and air force. The country is in ruins and most of the population dispersed around other European countries.

    2. NM

      Lis Truss encouraging English donks to fight and die in Ukraine.I don’t know who is more stupid.

    Selective in your quotations there Charger. (The ‘Ireland Cannot defend itself today, let alone tomorrow’ is what the Irish Times’ opinion is. That line wasn’t said by the Finn)

    Here’s the opinion though of the Finn. ‘“The key question for Ireland is this: will membership of the EU provide enough security for you in decades to come?” he asks. “If the answer is yes, you don’t have to change anything.’

    Somehow, I think the EU would be a lot more dependable than this https://news.sky.com/story/leaked-footage-shows-moment-british-f35-jet-crashes-into-mediterranean-during-hms-queen-elizabeth-carrier-take-off-12482611

      The EU? Dependable? Not for the likes of you and me. The EU is a multiple coup d’etat. Suckers all of us for believing the hype & outright lies.

    ADE? The Vaccine Antibodies May Actually Make Things Worse: Dr. Peter McCullough

    “There’s three large worldwide analyses… all showing the more heavily vaccinated countries have more COVID, and I think, finally, the countries are learning [that the jab may make things worse and are dropping mandates].”

    https://rumble.com/v13b81v-ade-the-vaccine-antibodies-may-actually-make-things-worse-dr.-peter-mccullo.html

    Peter argues that this is the real reason why places like Israel have dropped all mandates. EIGHTY THOUSAND pages released from Pfizer on Sunday- the cat is firmly among the pigeons now.

    Litigation lawyers rubbing their hands in glee but as per usual, it will be the tax payer who foots the bill- and what a bill this will be.

    1. TenPin Terry

      She manages to get to the 5th paragraph without mentioning Brexit.
      What an inferiority complex.
      I’d tell her to get off her knees but perhaps that’s how she gets to write for the Irish Times …

    1. SOQ

      Yes lots of collections for Ukraine- except if there was a collection for say Ireland, everyone would be asking who what, where, when, and why. But it is Ukraine you see, so no questions allowed.

      As for the ‘military aid’- apart from the fact that Europe is seeing it as an opportunity to off load any old junk- a liquorice all sorts of weaponry does an army make. It takes time and training and consistency of equipment before they are even battle ready- time they do not have.

      In the meantime, the US has no idea where the armaments they have already sold to Ukraine have gone.

      1. TenPin Terry

        Poor Queenie – the pro-Putin fanboy has disappeared down the wormhole marked Looper. A nation under attack from a murderous dictator and all he can do is gobble down Vlad’s propaganda like it’s a fairground saveloy.
        I’d like to see how long he’d last prancing around Moscow in a rainbow thong waving a glow-stick.

      1. TenPin Terry

        You’re tweeting some anonymous gombeen with 484 followers.
        The stench of desperation off all your usernames is overpowering.
        What a lonely life you must lead.

        1. GiggidyGoo

          Plenty of other tweets saying the same basically. Did I hit a little blighters nerve then?
          Schizophrenia meter has hit 100% – ‘everyone is Giggidy’
          One user name is enough for me. Not for you though Charger Salmons, Oliver Cromwell, Admiral Nelson, Kate, Vlad, TenPin etc.

          My life isn’t lonely either. Your urine-drenched bedsit in Cork is getting to you.

          1. GiggidyGoo

            Sure it meets it every day in your bedsit. No need to introduce them, they know each other intimately.
            Back of the net !
            Everyone is Giggidy
            Who’s Lorraine?
            Oh hahahahah.

          2. Mad

            The thing I note about the Ten Pin character is that he just repeats the same old jokes every day
            He doesn’t even find them funny himself any more. No one engages with him – it must be so demoralising.

          3. GiggidyGoo

            The thing I notice is that on any TenPin thread that I comment on, you appear shortly afterwards, closely followed by TenPin with his ‘everybody is Giggidy’ line.
            Odd isn’t it?

          4. Mad

            The way I see it Giggidy is that he’s just run out of friends. Acquaintances, even casual ones, in real life barely tolerate him. We are literally all he has
