Gemma not taking enforced retirement too well

She's permanently on twitter now tweeting links to wacky stories from a few years ago and every single conspiracy theory she can get her hands on

ah yes, Katie Ascough

while I absolutely don't prescribe to Katie Ascough's views, she was very poorly treated by the university. Absolutely bullied in a way that would be an outrage were she a member of almost any other major religion.

Her Brothers and Sisters took NUI Galway to court

They were all fairly extreme in their homophobia in 2014/2015 alright.

still though, a 'lifetime ban' from all 'societies' in NUI Galway, - harsh? even "discrimination". Probably they would not enter those societies anyway; but they are young, and it does seem very harsh. Anyhow, after 3 years, they won the case?
The family are so serious, veer somewhat to didactic. But [I think] they won this under the Equality Act? good sometimes that people challenge these Acts.

They say "the politicians are not representing the people", sounds good to me; as does their dialectic about 'freedom of speech' and 'religious expression'.
Their 'Burke Broadcast' on youtube; interesting.

She said her views on abortion wouldn't interfere with her role as student president when campaigning. Then let it interfere with her role as president by blocking information on abortion services being printed on a student guide for freshers week, wasting thousands on euro in the process. I think they had a clear cut case in calling for a vote to impeach her. And clearly the majority agreed as they voted her out.

and I disagree with what she did, but the abuse and attacks she got, being labeled 'baby Iona' etc.. were completely unwarranted. Especially as most of the abuse came from the same sections of people who regularly are the loudest voices against that.

Bollocks. Promised to not allow her personal beliefs interfere with her work as an SU officer. Promptly did exactly that and pulled information that had been published for years from the students' journal. Got called on it, got her just desserts.

Baby Iona is hardly offensive? Not that I would agree with actual abuse being sent her way. It's easy enough to win an argument with that lot without resorting to abuse as seen in the last two referendums. Iona on the other hand have come out with some fairly disgusting stuff towards women and gay people.

I do feel so sorry for the Gardaí who are going to have to deal with her and her likes with their live streaming in the next few weeks!

In fairness if the fines come in for being outside the 5km limit the chances are her fines would easily cover the covid bill for the entire country lol

a quick look at her linkedin page shows the description of "baby iona" isn't far off. How many people list "fulltime anti-abortion campaigner" on their linkedin page.

they dont give 1 sh1t about that poor girl. They just like causing hassle and being seen to cause hassle. Its funny, these mad religious ones (like Gemma) are very un Christian in their thinking. Its a pity because they seem to be absolute geniuses but what value would they ever give to society.

It's one thing calling someone names (I'm not aware of any other abuse she received) but it's another thing to withhold vital information to someone who may need the information because it is contra to your beliefs. Even if you said you wouldn't let your beliefs affect your decisions before a vote was cast.

What I really don't get is why you think this is some form of "gotcha" moment against the left. People are allowed to be vocal against opposition, especially if the opposition is trying to restrict the rights of many.
It's about punching up, not down. Why can't you right wingers ever get that?

That's horrible.
You can bet she wouldn't do it to a guard or a younger person.

GOD comes across as extremely deranged but i hate that gormless " punching down " leftist term

it implies that certain demographics ( beit travellers or council house residents ) are incapable of reaching any number of general standards and to criticise them is wrong as they know no better , ties in the with whole " bigotry of low expectations " mindset

there are people willing to rob us and hurt us at all income levels , no sacred cows

thats real equality

If the tenor of some of the abuse she received had have occurred in the north people would have been arrested for their sectarianism and bigotry.

The information published in the magazine about abortions abroad - at the time - could only legally be provided by doctors, councilors or certain specific agencies.

whatever about not wanting to personally wear one (for whatever made up reason) , that is just the height of ignorance. She really has proved that this isn't a 'freedom' thing, this is just contrarian nonsense.

It's an appeal to the "karens" and "kyles" on Arsebook and Twatter so she can get the drug she's addicted to, attention. She's a notice box. And given the average IQ is 100, that means there's a fair cohort of people below that who will buy into her bullsh1t, because, well they're idiots.

it absolutely does , its about ringfencing individuals from criticism based on what profile they fit , therefore a traveller is not held to the same standard as a working professional from say drumcondra , the left have a sacred cow list of people and groups you can not criticise

they dont see individuals , they see identity etc

" punch down " is about policing views and opinions

I am in no way a violent person but that would be my limit. If she did that to me on the street she would be getting sparked!!! It would definitely be a situation where id worry about the consequences later...

Have to say I find that one quite upsetting.
It's one thing her verbally attacking guards and traffic wardens - it's not nice but to a large extent it's water off a ducks back for them. Even the halal butchers shop workers, the guys there are probably used to ignorant comments (which I hasten to add doesn't make it right).

But that's just a clearly confused elderly man.
