Old Bill questions Dana's brother over child sex abuse

    I kind of thought after the fiasco that last year's presidential election proved to be for her, that Dana would slither off into well-deserved obscurity and we would hear no more about her. But it was not to be.:(

    The Indo reports today that her brother John, who was her campaign manager until the allegations that he had molested his niece were first aired, has been questioned by the police in London.

    [HTML]ohn Brendan Brown (56) was quizzed for several hours at Wembley police station in London, the Irish Independent has learned. Mr Brown, who was the campaign director for Ms Scallon's presidential bid last year, has strenuously denied claims that he abused his niece, Susie Gorrell, in London in the 1970s.
    It is understood Ms Gorrell, daughter of Ms Scallon's sister Susan Stein, flew from the US to London last October to lodge a formal complaint with police in the English capital.
    [/HTML]
    The allegations relate to events that are claimed to have happened nearly 40 years ago and, of course, we must be mindful that everyone is innocent until proved guilty.


    Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how this saga unfolds as two branches of a seriously god-bothering family tear at each other's throats over what seems to be their real god - mammon.;);)

    Just imagine, though, that Dana, with her own family in such a dysfunctional state, had the cheek to ask the people of this country to make her our head of state.:pac:

    I remember Dana used to do a children's religious show when I was a kid. I found it condescending then as a child. As I grew up I disliked her more and more as she seemed to still be condescending and a little Mentally disturbed.
    She does not appear to be a rational human being anymore and shows signs of paranoid tendencies.
    No doubt she will start saying this is some conspiracy soon.

    Shes a complete space cadet,

    I loved the way she tried to use this child abuse allegation to get sympathy votes during the last presiedential election.

    She's not her brothers keeper.

    And there seems to be a sense of triumphant glee in your post which seems inappropriate given the circumstances

    I had forgotten about that already! (shame on me)

    The only option left for these shadowy conspirators is to send a robot from the future to try and keep Dana silent

    No, although I did live in that great city for some years. It's just that I feel such Schadenfreude at the thought of a major-league god-botherer having his collar felt that I wanted to use an affectionate term for the pigs , sorry police, on this occasion.:):):)

    I think we were all happy when she lost the presidency in such a spectacular fashion. Well, except for the 2.9% that voted for the nutjob.

    Maybe you were or maybe you weren't. I know I was.

    But if the brothers case was part of the reason, then I think that's wrong.
