    The institution was caught........Who was punished ?

    Read the article ... ulster bank were punished ... and yes some mortgage holders suffered ... which is diabolical

    However using this as an excuse for certain people’s behaviour is also wrong.

    Also ... dishing out incorrect legal advise to vulnerable people is also reprehensible

    I see his lordship says he has no problem burning the Constitution because it does not give you any rights, someone remind me how many claims he has made about violations of his "constitutional rights"?

    Also a claim of the state building COVID detention camps in barracks, is he hoping for a relase of The Irish Mauritanian in the future?

    Oh, I see today's Vavřička and Others vs the Czech Republic (No. 47621/13) ECHR 08/04/2021 case is going to rightly pee off a certain few, I awaits a load of miss-quoted references to personal liberties, bodily integrity, the Nuremberg Code and god knows what else from our Freeman folk.

    I'm reminded of the rumour from years ago that Stillorgan Shopping Centre was built with a tower so that the whole thing could be turned into an internment camp! Few rolls of concertina wire around the edge of the car park, couple a lads with machine guns in the tower, job done :pac:

    This long in the tooth battle is to be heard today. You’d wonder what Beades did with all the rental income if he wasn’t covering the repayments.

    Irrelevant site note, the article is written as if IIB and KBC were different banks. KBC is just a rebrand, their IBANs still start 'ICON' for a reason!

    At this point, we need to campaign to get a blue plaque put on the wall of 21 Little Mary Street to commemorate the contribution it's made to this thread.

    So the Make Change Happen project is live .. iOS and Android apps are up and running.

    In Ben's own words - it is there to bypass censorship and of course he won't have any input in to it's running - it will all be independent.

    Had a quick look - a fairly elaborate echo chamber.

    How long will comments about Covid being a danger, UN not bonding our birth certs, mortgages needing to be paid, mask wearing being essential, gards not needing to wear their caps, no oats of office, not turning sovereign seals etc etc be left up on it?

    He hasnt paid a cent to his mortgage since february 2011.... he has plenty of money to set up vanity projects online.

    Absolute chancer. We're all paying for his free gaff.

  • Registered Users Posts: 7,668 ✭✭✭whippet


    he is a busted flush !! probably explains why his Facebook page and that of side kick Vin's has been completely emptied of all content

    I'm sure there will be a full frank uncensored discussion about the verdict on the Make Change Happen app

    Delighted for him, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    :D:D
    In his submissions to the court, he insisted that the respondents and its agents were guilty of fraud and he insisted on his right to arrest them for this alleged fraud. But the court could not proceed on the basis of his bare, unsubstantiated allegations. He adduced no evidence at all and, therefore, there was no evidence of any fraud before the court

    Section 8.2 of the CIVIL Service Code (and he repeated the full citation, a few times) obligates the garda to give her name?!

    Good one. Even if it was a Civil Servant....
    8.2 Civil servants should:
    • ensure that their standard of dress is appropriate to their work environment;
    • show due consideration and respect for the public, their colleagues and the office they hold.

    Presume he meant 8.1, which, even if it was a civil servant would have caveats for situations like this.
    always give their names to any member of the public with whom they are dealing, except where given a special exemption, for example, on security grounds.

    The man is an “Officer of the Integrity Ireland Commission” no less. He even produced his badge.

    The judgment (and the previous McQuaid one) is quite telling of the tactics that Gilroy ultimately resorts to after his fake lawyer schtick quickly loses traction. All threats, demands for extortionate amounts of money and attempts at intimidation.

    That struck me as well - seeking ‘compensation’ to make things go away.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,309 ✭✭✭druss


    In my job over 25 years ago I had to deal with the public who called in about their SW claims, some were sobbing, some were aggressive, some threatened suicide, I got no training whatsoever in how to deal with people just had to wing it on a salary of 120 quid a week.

    Me too. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. But I wasn't there for long, and most people were absolutely lovely. Bizarely, many seemed to expect a more confrontational situation.

    Apropo of not much saw sometime freeman Jeff Rudd in the wild. The only voice against hundreds defending the utterly insane antics of Paddy Cosgrove and his nct script shaming.

    'People being held on their own free will'. If you're gonna spout absolute bollocks on camera over and over again, at least try to make sense.
