Calling the Rape Gangs a ?Dog Whistle? Issue Is Utterly Disgraceful Sun May 04, 2025 19:00 | Richard Eldred
Dismissing the rape gang scandal as a "dog whistle" isn't just tone-deaf ? it's a vile insult to victims and exposes a government more afraid of losing votes than of protecting children, says Henry Hill in the Telegraph.

Seen Bridget McCole 'as the enemy'?

He was actually a very good teacher.I had him for Geography in the early 1980s.And he actually unlike most of these overpaid,time marking civil servants or outright unfireable psychopaths did give a damn about those who wanted to learn somthing.
Thing is ,he should have stayed a teacher and not got involved in politics as he was good at that job and is dreadful,and always was as a politican.
...........to all politicians: I meant to call them 'donkeys', not 'donkies'. Hope that's cleared up.
..........the more things remain the same. A large section of Irish society would like to think Irelamd is now a sophisticated
first world country and an integral part of the European Project.. The problem is, we're still represented by the sort of
graceless parish-pump donkies that Frank Hall introduced us to back in the seventies, and Noonan is a prime example. The
only reason this country is any different to Greece is because the bill our politicians and bankers ran up was smaller and we
surrendered our sovereignty and economic independence two years earlier than the Greeks.
..this is just standard FG thatcherist no-such-thing-as-society market-worship ignorance...its Labour's scabbery we should be attacking.
Question: seeing as these gobshites are bent over the altar rails for the EUcharistic holey commEUnion and hop(at our expense) over to Paris for the socialist photo-op with Hollande while refusing to even mention that maybe the EU neo-liberal mutation is toxic to actual labour...have they not given themselves the redundancy red-card???
Their nothing-we-can-do-but-tug-the-forelock surrender indicates they are as dispensible and disposable as stage props...so its time for the logical cut-back...on them.
They are just the fucking insult compounding FF's injuries.
Noonan was "Standing with one foot in Ireland and the other foot in" his stupid overpaid mouth. Maybe he should stuff some more feta cheese into his piehole instead of talking "on our behalf" (not!)
Apologies to the greek people for the witterings of this ex teacher halfwit. Also, apologies to his previous pupils for subjecting you to this racist idiot at the states behest, thus likely depriving you of the opportunity for an enlightened education!
With morons like noonan at the helm, no wonder EU sharks are savaging Ireland on the political stage. Any half decent poker player from the local poker house would get better terms from Europe than these clowns.
