What happened in Britain during the years 2018-24 wasn?t the philosophical defeat of 'Toryism'. It was a Battle Royal with the Blob that the British Right fought and lost, decisively, says J. Sorel.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9I'm not quite clear from this whether its the case that you can't spell or whether you're a middle-class snob trying to imply that people from working-class origins can't spell. Please clarify.
I presume he is satirising Berties pronunciation. Phoenix Magazine do a similar send up of Berties Doiry in every edition.
What he's mocking is Bertie Ahern's working-class Dublin accent. I'm sure a lot of contributors on here have similar accents. Such snobbery is simply to be expected from this poster. His main gripe about the present government in all the years he's been posting here is that it builds too many houses, roads and factories. He has a fanatical hostility to the building industry which employs a quarter of a million people in Ireland. He'd rather return to the situation we had 20 years when most of the people with the sort of accent Bertie has had to emigrate to London, New York and Sydney.
Its not about accents lads. Please have a heart.
Bertie too - the poor wee child - must have been traumatised, yet tantalised by many 'uncles'.
Nonetheless, I think one will find that no favours were requested and definitely none were given.
Do you not believe that Its very-very unkind of one in fifty of the people to reduce support for the GOP of Ireland?
Do you not believe that this GOP and its leadership has served our people well - very well indeed - from the Waldorf Astoria in New York through a full century of service - excellent value-added, long-term service?
So Ian Paisley has a mole in the Mahon Tribunal and with the aid of Geraldine Kennedy and the two Mayo muppets (Kenny and Rabbitte) almost brings down the Irish Government. That would be some coup as the deadline for devolved government in Northern Ireland approaches. Makes you wonder where the allegiance of the Times really lies. And I foolishly believed that the Sindo were the worst media organ we had. It throws the phone tapping scenario (Kennedy and Arnold) into a whole new light doesnt it.

Don't make me laugh! - The working class are mere canon fodder for the type of capitilist businessmen and right wing political fellow travelling scum you seem to love so much!!!
The working class are the people being ripped off day in day out by your type as I have pointed out elsewhere!!!
Sadly it is you and your ilk who are trapped in a time warp. We have to all move on from the dark age mentality of the outmoded and discredited socialism you espouse. Besides you are all neatly avoiding the issue. Why did Ms Kennedy did what she did and what about the timing. She has a few questions to answer herself shortly.
The Irish Times and Geraldine Kennedy are hardly shining examples of left wing dogma. If you want to align yourself with the mob who want to return the Northern part of our Country to trouble and strife then be man enough to come out and declare it.
It's very easy to hide behind a few meaningless slogans.

People Power
Last weekend the people of Ireland gave their answer to the begrudgers. They want Bertie to stay as I do. Never has a Taoiseach worked so hard and so selflessly for this country than Bertie Ahern. The economy is the envy of Europe and indeed the world.
We are on the brink of a historic breakthrough in Northern Ireland next month and all the begrudgers can do is throw mud at Bertie. We know that Geraldine Kennedy, Kenny and Rabbitte have another agenda but at the crucial times next May particularly people power will win out again and the begrudgers will be left where they belong : floundering.

I notice through the Indymedia sites you are a critic in your own mind. I enjoyed the article on Bertie's Uncles. You noticed some spelling errors. Quite extraordinary - you must be a total academic from North Dublin. You mention snobbery - now John, listen very carefully.
I will give you a free lesson on Ethics this evening but a word of caution - don't take me for some Kevin Walsh that you say represents an armed wing - sometime ago, on this site. I have a low tolerance of idiots like you.
I am an academic John but unlike you I am creative. I would not judge you on your accent that you are so touchy about. Bertie as Taoiseach has the same accent.
John write us an article and show us who you are? What you represent? and then let us be the critics.
Have the courage John - try and be creative but first study and read some more. Evoloution is a strange thing. It took the tortoise 500 years to get to America; it would only take you probably 40 years of study to get to my level.
Quotation from me John
'Fools criticise but the artists keep on writing. Fools laugh but wise men just smile'
Now John, you sad little man, change your Bugs Bunny boxer shorts and Get a Life!
