    Isn't that what you and your pals on here have been crowing about for days now. Standing against evictions. Auld Jim is saying the same thing as you are. I think you're getting confused!

    I wonder did the evil bank make them sign a form to see their religion. Or maybe they made them take the bread-in-the-cupboard test to see were they Protestants. Also, Ulster has 3 counties in our wonderful Republic. FYI.

    The like of stephen manning(integerty ireland ) joe doocey (who is still in jail afaik) and the ex gardai who it seems is a ex garda rather than a retired garda having been dismissed.

    have a google of these nutters and see if you like .

    That might work....

    Two questions. Try to be honest.

    1. Regardless of if you think there were assaults or not, people from the UK have a right to work in this country as EU Members. Do you accept that?

    2. If the farmers co-operated with a lawful court order, there'd have been no need for physicality at all. Do you accept that?

    At this stage I think they should just bulldoze it and sell the land in divided lots.

    Firstly I know ulster has 3 counties in this " wonderful " republic. So don't get smart with me mate.
    Secondly you seem to know it all and no matter what will back the bankers to the last.
    Thirdly I thought he made interesting points. But you seem intent on rubbishing anyone who does not agree with you.

    Why are people still calling them elderly?? Surely the news has gotten around about all debts they have and the middle fingers they have given the banks + revenue for years. Now the mob are blaming the immigrants and calling for a coup on the government! Wtf

    I see from online videos he is linked with that ACT crowd. I suspect the whole eviction farce was planned by them along with faux outrage afterwards.

    Hahaha it's going to be made practically impossible to do evictions. IV no doubt that security men wearing ID badges would be plastered all over social media and maybe even have their family paid a visit at home.

    I'd love to be a fly on the wall the next time any farmer from Roscommon goes to the bank to look for a loan! :-)
    Perhaps they could take a Loan ‘ Without filling out all the Forms "

    There are plenty who aren't though. In fact I would say most aren't.

    Journalist emmett Corcoran after been arrested, the Garda after seizing he's phone and laptop, looks like it's because he was "telling the other side of the story", the guards really playing a blinder it all this fiasco.

    If Manning, Integrity Ireland and the Anti Corruption Taskforce as well as Ben Gilroy are involved in this no wonder there's such a chaotic confused mess going on. Check out the Freeman thread for insight into their particular brand of madness. If the people at the center of this became involved with their insanity then no wonder things ended up where they did.

    Absolutely incorrect on both counts. What I do hate is arseholes using ''but de bankers, de bankers'' to absolve themselves and others of personal responsibility. From this case, to social welfare fraud to a litany of other offenses. Just because some elite scumbags did wrong, doesn't give every Tom, Dick and Harry a license to do what they want. That includes you. That includes me.

    Because when combined with the loyalist and/or paramilitary angle, it has great optics for an agenda. Bonus points for ''...and just before Christmas too.''

    Nope, in for a penny in for a pound. No middle ground. No grey areas. You're an apologist for Big Corporate if you dissent one iota.... or ya know... point out an actual uncomfortable truth.

    Would he be "a former parliamentary assistant of Michael Fitzmaurice, the Roscommon-Galway Independent TD."

    No, there are plenty of Irish people in the British Army, they would not describe themselves as 'Loyalists' either.
    What is this nonsense?

    If they're actively serving in the British army, they're loyal to the crown, whether they describe themselves as such is neither here nor there, nor is it derogatory in describing them as such either.

    It is however fact.


    Perhaps your confusing unionist and loyalist?
    Its just a cheap anti-British sectarian pejorative for the keyboard warrior Neanderthals to get high on. Seems to be working too.

    I'm neither anti British, nor sectarian, and describing someone as a loyalist, or a member of s British army regiment doesn't make me so either.

    Depends. The farmers have a concern over the eviction notice and believe it not to be legal. From what I read they have engaged their solicitors in that regard.
    Always two sides to everything and so far mainstream media has only presented one.
