Mr Varadkar will travel to Budapest on Thursday to meet with Mr Orban. He confirmed that he will raise issues with Mr Orban with which he does not agree.

The guy himself is probably surprised to be still alive. Has probably only just discovered that the standard Irish Garda is unarmed. Nevertheless, most of the terror attacks we have seen in Europe over the last 2 or 3 years have been perpetrated by "lone wolf" individuals from islamic countries, many of them failed asylum seekers wandering around the EU committing petty crime. Changing their name regularly and applying for temporary benefits in different countries, until eventually they get fed up with infidel society and decide to go out with a bang. Classic case in point; the Berlin lorry attack Normally (if the attack is newsworthy) IS would get to hear about it, and then claim the credit retrospectively. Not going to happen now though, because they have recently had their asses handed to them at former HQ in Raqqa. So you can happily declare that this is just a sad case of temporary insanity in a gentleman who happened to have been born abroad.

Wouldn't be a fan of Scientolology, but still wouldn't dare dismember nor mark a poster of the superb filmography in the Tom Cruise film: 'risky business' (1983), an iconic masterpeice.

Get Orban to ask Varadkar why the Gardai did not detain this illegal migrant when they first encountered him, and instead just left him to wander around. Its the story of the whole failed EU Merkel migrant policy in one little microcosm.
recedite wrote: » Eh no, I have not disagreed with the conclusions of the Gardai. I explained in this post why it would be extremely difficult to label it positively as "a terrorist incident". Despite that, we know what it is.
