A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

Fact Not Fiction Gangland and mobiles

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Friday May 04, 2007 12:03author by Kevin T. Walsh - Social Justice and Ethics Report this post to the editors

Who praises people like Willie Corduff, Nobel Peace Prize Winner (Environment)

We need TV naturally to embrace news and what is happening around us. We also need radio but Liveline this week was a complete sham. Joe with the ego (Bottler)and Williams (the great man of fiction on Irish Gangland). We all know what happened when a prisoner phoned from a cell in Portlaoise. I personally believe RTE have broken the law on this occasion. How can we have a prisoner in Portlaoise taking the airways and making threats.

Williams stated as always the lies on Liveline that prisoners were walking around E1 landing in Portlaoise prisons with mobile phones swinging everywhere. People listened with bewilderment. I am sure Anthony Campbell's mothers did not feel happy listening to gangland speak directly on the radio. Now I know Duffy has a lot to prove. He took over from Dear Frankie as Ireland's agony act or perhaps now Ego aunt.

The facts came yesterday, hard and blunt. McDowell came on Liveline yesterday and for 15 fifteen minutes, Duffy kept his mouth shut - it must be a record. I am not a McDowell fan but in fairness, he told Joe facts are facts and there are no prisoners walking around Portlaoise carrying mobile phones. McDowell went on to say there maybe some phones smuggled in but that is a matter for the prison authorities to deal with and they will.

McDowell also told Duffy that three members of staff are pending proceedings at DPP level, in relation to smuggling in contraband into prisons but what impressed me most about McDowell yesterday - McDowell showed Duffy up to be the Little Bottler in the Classroom taking instruction from the Head Master.

Williams come from a paper of 40 pages of sex adverts and D'Arcy's page on just how great he is....

Facts are Facts and I am sure Joe did not like being lectured to. Liveline cannot be trial by radio for any Irish citizen. Last year Duffy was caught out when some looney from Cork phoned in and made an ugly remark about Ms. Leech, Mr. Martin Cullen's advisor at the time. Miss Leech is currently going through the courts in relation to this remark about her character.

I ask why has Joe not considered bringing on Willy Cordfuff, a member of the Rossport Five (Shell) who has just won the Nobel Prize (Environment).

I also ask the most pertinent question .......... Why has no-one Minister, the President, the Taoiseach, the Church not congratulated this man on his Global Achievement. In any other country, Willie Corduff would be a hero but in Ireland he is villified by a corrupt Government bought by Shell. Would Bottler Duffy and Sherlock Holmes Williams ever wake up and write about good people for a change and stop giving Gangland Scum Airways.

Again I will say it was great to see McDowell giving Joe a lesson about facts. One more point - Vincent Browne a real journalist took over the show at the Mansion House, now Duffy and Williams, could not tie his laces when it comes to media coverage. Browne may not be popular with some but he is a brilliant journalist.

An old friend of mine, a prominent barrister, he has evolved from the Rugby green to the environmental green. Yes, he is canvassing door to door near. the border. He holds both the Rugby and environment with passion and respect.

This man does not have a mobile phone - he does not need one and he gets on with his visits to the Law Library and other venues, without it. He rides a bicycle, he has a small car but rarely uses it - a true Irish citizen representing the Greens.

In the meantime, Bottler butler from Ballyfermot with his wife and four kids receiving unemployment for the last 28 years has 8 mobile phones in the house - Can someone explain to me why the 8 phones and who are they phoning daily? Are they phoning global experts about enhancing the environment - I don't think so.......

Some weeks ago, in Herbert Park, allegedly Paul williams accompnaied by his armed guard - Mr. Williams is under threat from another bottler i.e. Bottler Daly from Portlaoise prison on his mobile who in turn spoke to Bottler Duffy on lifeline - it is alleged an old man walking his Shitzu in the Park roarded - 'You are the Leitrim gobshite that is costing the Irish taxpayers thousands in relation to your security over Bottler Daly and Bottler Duffy. The old man repeated mobile phones will be your downfall, Williams - it is alleged Williams ran hotfoot from the bar, with his body guard in hot pursuit.

Williams in recent years has become a legend in his own mind. I believe the FBI require his services to hunt Bin Laden. In the meantime, Bottler is trying to search out Bin Laden in the caves, to talk on Liveline on why he wants to bomb Dail Eireann - the rumour goes Bin Laden does not like corruption.

Now many years ago people would be very cyncial to see Sinn Fein in Government both sides of the border so is it not feasible to say that in 25 years in time in Ireland given the rise in the Muslim population that a grandson of Bin Laden could be in Fianna Fail - (Evolution.....) and could in fact become Taoiseach. This country is revolving so fast not, it is like a roller coaster - we buy two mercedes cars every two hours every two days but when reality checks in and I mean when the bluff of the economy stops and unfolds the truth - our hospitals will not be able to cope with the number of people with mental health problems, addictions to alcohol and illegal drugs. As the old saying goes, it is hard to swallow the illusion - you were once rich but it was only paper!!! And sometimes paper lies.

Jack Russell
