    I've checked out their twitter feed. Sherlock has a reply up there

    http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1spgsj8

    In it he completely avoided mentioning the story except to say he's not racist and that anyone who said he's racist will be hearing from his solicitor. Also apparently anyone who complained about the story hates free speech.

    What annoys me most about the site is the unbelievably disingenuous name of it. In fact it's not even disingenuous, it's a downright lie. It's pretty shoddy that they felt they had to try to attract readers by naming the site as they did, rather than the more truthful rightwingconservativeprolifemouthpieceoftheionainstitute.ie. Not as catchy I'll admit, but at least no-one could be in any doubt as to what their agenda really is.

    It's kind of pathetic when you think about it. Having to pretend to be something they're not to try and get readers.

    Whatever about the many fake news stories including the infamous imaginary riot on St.Stephen’s Day, or the suspect competitions where you can’t find out who the winner is, or the thousands of facebook likes that certainly weren’t bought, or the outrage pieces that certainly weren’t written by Leo himself against gay people, foreigners, women and abortion, or the entire family of Sherlock’s with their bizarre behaviour… It’s the plagiarism that has caught up with little Leo.
    Most ‘news sites’ (I use that term loosely) are not so thick as to even chance it, those few who do and are caught always hold their hands up. This character however has convinced himself that it’s all part of a global conspiracy against him and his edgy, tell-it-like-it-is, no nonsense attitude. No doubt led by the Jews, Angela Merkel, Peter Sutherland, Dublin 4 liberal media elites and the lizard people.
    It’s a cluster****, but not surprising when you see the family that he has come from.

    "I'd like to thank my excellent staff who I truly believe are the best there is."

    I wonder does he truly believe they exist? Like, does he have imaginary conversations around the imaginary water cooler with 'Fernando Sanchez' and 'James Brennan'?

    No incidents reported. No witnesses. No damage.

    Except that there was, it was even reported on by the Indo and Herald... Not that their bastions of integrity or anything, I'm also not entirely sure why the story was racist for mentioning the majority of youths were black.

    I noticed recently that I'm blocked by Leo Sherlock, despite never having any kind of interaction with him before. The only explanation I can think of is that maybe I once 'liked' a tweet that called him out on the plagiarism. Seems kind of petty. But not as petty as blocking the fucker back, which is exactly what I pointlessly did.

    Looking who they follow there's another female Sherlock (I won't post a link in case it's just a coincidence)

    however her bio says
    Love the Lord & Israel. Abortion stops a heart beat! :( Trump and Pence Supporter. Marriage is between a man and woman, nothing else. Against water fluoridation

    So that's an absolute nutjob then.

    I never quite get this accusation, I've never seen it. Any Liberal.ie article I regrettably ever read was so badly composed and full of grammatical and spelling errors that it could quite literally have come from nowhere else. I'm all for an independent right leaning media in this country to counter the mainstream but the Liberal is semi literate at best.
    It has happened though - how much, I don't know, but there is definitely one case of it. A writer in the Cork Echo. They blocked her when she took them to task on it then.

    Liberal PC elite cabal strikes again. Couldn't deal with the liberal.ie telling it how it really is so they decide to use the Irish so-called "justice" system (which let's not forget is just a puppet of our foreigner loving, anti-Catholic PC government) to bring it down.

    Pathetic. Is the sarcasm obvious or will people think I'm being legit. I guess we'll only know when you quote this to angrily call me a twat.

    They never said 12 years experience developing web technology. It could just be that they spent 12 years browsing.

    Edit: just saw the mod directive. Sorry.

    The Independent originally reported about the "riot", the liberal then picked it up and added the racial twist to it, because that's their agenda.

    What do you mean they added a "racial twist"?

    By reporting that witnesses were saying the group was 90% black? If that's "adding a racial twist" then so did The Irish Times as they reported the following:
    A security man at another shop on the street said “about 80 to 100 [people] teamed up and ran up and down the middle of Henry Street to where there was an unmarked Garda car.

    “Then they ran back down to where there was a marked Garda car.”

    He said that those involved were “a mixture of mainly black and some white guys.

    “Elderly customers in the shop were afraid to go out. They hadn’t a clue what was going on.”

    A security man on Mary Street said that gangs clashed there regularly, “usually on Saturdays, but it’s not racist. It’s black on black.”
