The more he speaks publicly about his holiday trip to Egypt, the more his story does not make sense.

The story never made sense, the b.s. spouted by his sister's on a regular basis made the story even more nonsensical.

Tubridy was abysmally weak on the subjects that mattered, as he was probably instructed to do

And just like the crap in Belfast this week, everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Poor egyptian irish guy minding his own business on holiday and got arrested during a political protest. Awwwww.

Play the race card, "poor irishman locked up by the big bad egyptians" now everyone wants to "bring him home"......

****ing gob****e.

Biggest mistake of his life?
What an idiot.

Galwayguy35 · 31-03-2018 8:21pm

He came home whinging he wanted privacy, quickly realised people were grand with the idea of him disappearing into obscurity because we were sick hearing about him and next thing he is going on radio with the sisters telling the same old tired story nobody is interested in.

Fast forward a few months and here he is again whinging as usual.

RTÉ love z list celebs

They’ll probably give him a job on a reality TV show to keep him happy.

Looks like he was right.

So attending a protest in Egypt wasn't?

Now, now. He didn't attend a protest. He was on holiday in Egypt and he happened to stumble upon a protest and the shortest route away from that protest was via the stage.

Oh dear.
Didn't take long for the racist accusations to appear here just because the Halawa topic was brought up again. Trying to shut down a conversation by claiming racism doesn't work anymore.

Took longer than I expected for the "nothing's ever racist" brigade to interject.

His story didn't add up given the known facts, he did himself no favours going on the LL (or indeed the radio interview he did in Cork with his sister which was arguably more damaging for him), and it would seem that there isn't as much support for him in the real world as he might have expected - ie: easy money from his tale and media publicity for him now that he's back.

Best thing he could do is get on with his life and give up trying to be a "celebrity" or "influencer" or whatever he's at.

Don't we all

no . just a few posters on boards only. as far as the rest of us are concerned, he was acquited, released, job done.

You can't blame him in a way. The media disgraced themselves in their approach by treating the public like fools by distorting the truth on the issue. They had their own agenda but most of the public were somewhat cynical despite the constant barrage of one-sided, unquestioning coverage of the issue.

the media simply reported the information given. they are guilty of nothing from what i can see.

Christ.. I've been giving out about 'The Late Late show" for years..

Did I say say crucify....

Nothing about the b.s. his sister's repeated to any media that were willing to listen too.

Well he said himself that he would rather be back in a cell, fecking let him go I say. He's a muppet that has lied about being starved, tortured, and shot in the hand that was so bad he nearly lost the use of. Yet somehow he was put in a cell with someone, by a miracle somehow cured him with whatever was lying around.

For someone that was starved he came out fat.
How does that happen?

Yeah, but he wasn't found innocent, was he. So therefore he must be guilty. Cant be having one rule for one foreign court case and a different rule for another.

Well great. Let anyone here try being a normal, well balanced person after what this young man endured in years of prison waiitng for trial

suicide_circus · 01-04-2018 9:32am

I don't think anyone cares about his trial, it's the horsesh*t story about coming out of the cinema and accidentally getting up on stage at a protest that people aren't buying

TerrorFirmer · 01-04-2018 9:48am

The part that just really baffled me in terms of consistency was his arrival home, having gained what looked like several stone in weight.

Not being funny - just genuinely unsure how that can be explained, if indeed it was even broached, when one claims they suffered incessant torture, starvation, deprivation, etc.

He'd be better off saying nothing. Keep the head down and work away. Nobody like attention seekers.

Maybe they fed him a load of carbs and he didn't get much exercise?

He does look pretty healthy there alright. In the old days when you were captured and held, say in the Lebanon, you came home like a skeleton, if you were lucky enough to get out. Do you remember Brian Keenan when he was released? He was as frail as a bird and had aged 20 years. Halawa doesn't look like he suffered anything but boredom.
