 Children
die screaming as world's heart turns to stone
GW Bush just got tough and apologised to the
People's  Republic of China. Of
course, this shouldn't be considered
a sign of weakness of the US president, after
all, he hasn't had much much opportunity
to practice getting tough. His recent opponents
including a wax-work dummy, and several of his
fellow citizens strapped to a hospital gurney
having their lungs collapsed by a machine
designed by a psychopathic Holocaust denier.
With world leaders of this calibre, is it any
wonder that as children in Borneo, like the
little girl pictured here, her head cut of with a
machette, died screaming in such horror that
could not be imagined, the world's heart turned
to stone and a couple of old statues in
Afganistahn.
Economic
migrants attacked in Donegal, mistaken
for asylum seekers
The
labour shortage, combined with the high
rate of unemployment, is beginning to hit
Donegal to the extent that businesses are
being forced to employ legal economic
migrants from as far away as
Russia. One of these Russian workers,
Ivan Nibblertitsov, was asked about
working here by Mad-as-Hell.Com. He
stated that he could make far more money
here than he could ever hope to make back
home, but went on to say that he and his
comrades kept on being spat on in the
street as they were continually mistaken
for asylum seekers. Officially, Donegal
has the highest unemployment rate in
Ireland, at around 20%.
Meanwhile, investigations are continuing
into allegations that a local businessman
has been squeezing out his regular
workforce and replacing them with
government subsidised foreign workers. |
 He's still here, living
proof of the Irish government's
commitment to hypocrisy.

 The
Irish minister for bullshit
Joe Walsh,
Ireland's agriculture minister has made this
statement after the news that foot and mouth is
apparently out of control in Northern Ireland.
"This fresh outbreak means
that there is a geographic spread of the disease,
and not alone is it active on the island of
Ireland, but it is actually rampant, so we have
to literally redouble our efforts. We have to
remain vigilant, to have each farmer to have
their farm as a fortress, as a self-contained
unit - to make absolutely certain that the
disinfection and hygiene facilities are in place,
and that along the border with Northern Ireland
there is no movement of livestock or animal
products in any way. This is a salutary reminder
that we have a long way to go to win this battle."
What the minister hasn't said, is that just over
the border in Donegal, a number of major
entertainment venues that attract hoards of
Northerners, have stopped using disinfectant mats
at their entrances. According to a member of
staff at one venue, 80% of it's clientel were
from Northern Ireland over the Easter weekend,
many of whom expressed surprise at the lack of
disinfecting facilities at the border.
Many farmers in Donegal continue to protect the
entrances to their farms with useless bits of old
rain soaked carpet, as reported here in previous
editions. One small farmer interviewed in a local
drinking establishment by us, said, "What's
the point of wasting money on disinfectant, when
the disease doesn't live on the ground".
Others commented, "It's all
bollocks/rubbish/nonsense" when asked their
opinions about the need to keep disinfecting.
Visiting Donegal Town today, (17/4) we only saw
proper disinfectant mats in one shop....hanging
on the wall, for sale. The authorites have been
notified that this has been the case for several
weeks previously.
Update: 2 weeks after
we (and doubtless, many others) contacted the
authorities, the situation appears to
be..........unchanged.
 Fianna Fail babe gets
fucked
Beverley
Cooper-Flynn TD, member of the Irish
Parliament, proven in court as having
helped clients to evade tax, when
the jury in Ireland's longest and most
expensive libel case found that the Irish
national broadcaster, RTÉ had not proved
that she had induced a farmer to evade
tax by not availing of the tax amnesty,
but decided that she had encouraged a
number of other people to evade their
taxes while she was working for National
Irish Bank, is yet another prominent
figure to have resigned from the Irish
Public Accounts Committee. In case you
came in late, the PAC has been recently
investigating what effectively amounted
to the policy of successive Irish
governments turning a blind eye to tax
fraud in the interests of the economy. Official
figures are that 10% of the
Irish population had non-resident bank
accounts which allowed them to evade
paying tax.
The Coopster will now have to pay over
£2,000,000 in costs for her arrogance.
Cooper-Flynn's father, Padraig, has also
yet to explain a 'donation' of £50,000
that he is alleged to have received from
British based builder Tom Gilmartin.
'Pee' Flynn was also Ireland's EU
Commissioner, in charge of his country's
begging bowl which received billions in
aid from our Euopean partners who did
pay tax, much of it for
Ireland's benefit.
 In a
seperate court case, involving the Flynn
family in Febuary, a suspended prison
sentence and fines were imposed on the
Coopster's sister, when she was convicted
of more than 20 motoring offences. Audrey
Flynn was also disqualified from driving
for 10 years at Castlebar District Court.
Fines totalling £6,800 were imposed on
Flynn, who faced 46 different summonses
relating to driving a school mini-bus
without insurance and without a
roadworthiness certificate and for
failing to have a public service vehicle
licence.
Flynn was also convicted of making a
false declaration to obtain insurance and
making a false declaration to obtain a
public service driving licence.
Judge Mary Devins described her evidence
as one of "complete breathtaking
arrogance".
It would appear to run in the family.....
Ms. Cooper Flynn is expected
to be re-elected, should she stand at the
next election.

 The 14 year old boy
blinded by terrorists
Stephen Menary, yet another child blinded by a
terrorist's bomb. He also lost his hand
and much of his hearing. Pictured here on
his release from hospital, he said he was
not angry with the terrorists who planted
the device adding, "In a way, I am
glad it was me. If it had been someone
younger or much smaller than me, it may
have killed them."
Perhaps some in Ireland would do well to
think of Stephen before whining on and on
about things that happened hundreds of
years before they were born.
Irish doctors
attack 70 year old pensioners
The group representing Ireland's
doctors is opposing the Government's plan
to provide free medical care to
all people over 70.
Actually it's not as bad as it
sounds...........
The Irish Medical Organisation's GP
committee has said that the plan will
mean that scarce resources will go to
retired High Court judges and politicians
at the expense of single mothers and low
paid workers earning half the minimum
wage have to pay to see a doctor and pay
for their prescriptions.
Worth noting though,
is the fact that such low eligibility
levels are not imposed on those who are
unemployed and start work under the 'back
to work' programme. They can keep their
free medical entitlements for 3 to 4
years, even though they still receive a
percentage (100%/75%/50% 1st/2nd/3rd
years of employment) of their
unemployment payments on top of their
wages.
 The fuck stops here
The Vatican has finally acknowledged a
report into the sexual abuse of nuns
by some priests and missionaries. Crimes
committed include rape, where in some
cases, victims were forced to have
abortions. It has also been alleged that
some nuns have been forced to take the
contraceptive pill. The report was given
to the Vatican..........6 years ago.

 GW Bush committed to global
executions?
US President Bush has said he has no
interest in the international agreement to help
slow down global warming, the Kyoto
Protocol. His administration is now taking legal
advice on how to withdraw from the Protocol,
against a backdrop of international condemnation.
The world would do well to remember that
President Bush is not excacty prone to mercy in
the case of innocents facing death.......unless
of course they haven't been born yet.
Our appologies if that doesn't
make sense, but it does kind of put his stance on
abortion into it's hypocritical perspective
 Irish
Minister finally admits some truth about
continued smuggling
Joe
"O'Keefe did nothing wrong" Walsh,
Ireland's agriculture minister has admitted that
livestock continues to be smuggled across
Ireland, despite constant previous
denials. He has requested that they cease the
activity.
Perhaps the minister might now make comment on
the larger than expected number of animals being
culled in the Cooley Peninsula exclusion zone
(it's not just happening in South Armagh), and
the number of farmers reputed to be smuggling
their almost worthless animals into the zone to
avail of compensation payments. Although,
considering that in his own
words, "people are still reticent about
giving information" about how the disease
keeps getting into Co.Louth, it's unlikely that
he'll risk further annoyance of those calling the
shots.
Last week, South Armagh farmers refused
to allow their animals to be slaughtered unless
they receieved full and satisfactory
compensation, along with legal immunity from
prosecution......for bringing foot and mouth into
Ireland in the first place, by smuggling infected
sheep. The UK government agreed, and even agreed
to further demands, transporting the carcasses
all the way to Belfast to be disposed of, rather
than being buried or burned localy. An Irish
farmer discovered with ilegaly imported livestock
has taken the Irish government to court, to
prevent their destruction. Contrast this attitude
with that in the Britain, where a farmer with
illegaly bought stock has had to leave his home
on the advice of the police, for his own safety.
Such advice would be unlikely to be given to
farmers in South Armagh.
Meanwhile, the disease is rapidly spreading
through Northern Ireland. Several miles from the
original outbreak.
