    We have ongoing problems balancing all these matters normally, along comes an exceptional situation that requires an exceptional and assuming that Ukraine prevails, temporary solution. To shelter war refugees in the belief that they will want and need to return in due course when law & order is restored.

    The web though has flourishing whataboutery... maybe we don't hear the full story, what about this war or that, what about our homeless, what about our own citizens awaiting public housing and so on. This all contributes to undermining the public resolve. Divide and conquer, that's the Russian hope & tactic when it comes to response from other states. There are matters that can be let slide and others than demand fixing. Yes we are open to manipulation but you'd have to make a very, very strong case that we are being grossly misled by what we believe is happening in Ukraine.

    You make very good points and I agree completely, just felt it unfair you thinking I'm more concerned about ability of Government to maintain SW and that I'm seeing any of this from a Russian perspective, I genuinely am not and just asked an honest question which was not intended to question what was going but to just say caution is needed in determining factually particular accusations of war crimes.

    I admittedly am disgusted by the double standards being applied when dealing with Ukrainian refugees as I've seen first hand how other refugees have been treated and I might add ones actually invited to Ireland by Government and coming from equally appalling situations. I just feel everyone needs to be treated equally and that just has not happened.

    Finally, the Irish Government rightly offered support but without clearly understanding what they were offering and already cracks beginning to surface. Resentment is brewing which is regrettable but not at all surprising.

    I'm not resentful of supporting anyone in difficulty, I'll just say wether it be an individual, family or group, there must be a plan in place to support, I just see utter chaos in the approach being taken.

    I don't believe I'm too bad an egg , so to speak 😏

    This won't happen. God forbid it gets to the worst scernio however according to our laws the people sharing the house are licensees so can be asked to leave with no notice and if the lodgers don't leave it just takes either a call to the guards or a few friends to put them out.

    This is why I say share your home not a separate property.

    Place people into a property that you don't reside in they becomes "tenants" with rights a mile long and that's a very different ball game.

    Could we lose Riley Helpless Grapevine to the Darkside? As she (or he) has now achieved influencer status, she (or he) will likely now be snapped up by NK Management.

    To advance the process you should buy subscribers and likes. It's a practice allegedly used by some in the stable so to speak.

    Great news this morning for the legal eagles ......will Joe be recalled for to moderate the discussion?

    will they be allowed even talk about it ? Not sure who is at fault, but another embarrassing episode



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,122 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Is this to do with ********* and the Judgement in the ********. Case 🤔

    Like Joe, I'm no legal Scholar but am pretty confident I could have told the Department of Justice and the AG, years ago were this was going 🙄 and for free. I shudder to think how much this has cost and more to the point how the victims family must be feeling this morning.

    Whoy is Joe away 🤔 is it he's self isolating or on another extended Easter break a La Château Dufy 🤔

    Surely if its self isolating, he must have a Shed in Da garden in Dollymount he could broadcast from, if Claire can do it, Surely Joe capable of doing the same.

    My initial response would be that the law should be changed then. The current set-up must be a great boon for terrorists , drug gangs as well as yer ordinary decent criminals so to speak.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,122 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    I completely agree, I've lost count of the years this case going on.

    I recall in my time in the mobile phone business, regular requests from Gardai for info on sims, phone numbers etc and won't discuss how these requests were handled but my god, Hoops had to be jumped through.

    There was even talk that all prepaid Sims would have to be registered at one time, that never happened.

    I've an open mind about what is or not appropriate from a civil liberties point of view but it would seem if evidence is irrefutable it should be permitted to be used, the crux of the matter in hand seems to be how evidence was obtained.

    I did actually buy €10 worth of likes on Twitter re promotion of mask wearing tweet. That’s the minimum spend on the site and buys you notice for one single tweet for one day.

    I once bought “attention” for a genealogical website which paid dividends in solving a couple of family mysteries.

    Can we sign a petition to get you reinstated on Giphy cawlur , I'd be happy to join the cause 😏

    Friend of the thread, Fungus, featured with Claire on the TV show from the shed last night. They were discussing pensions and how he was disappointed to have to leave RTE once he turned 65. Although I'm not certain he did.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    Yeah he moved from a salaried position to that of a contractor, laughable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,122 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    Yes saw the show, I couldn't possibly believe Claire was returning to the Shed, had to see if it was true and my word what an OTT pile or shtye it was. Fungus of course didn't mention his PT gig on the live line .

    The entire show laughable Cawlur, all that was missing, was RT Abseiling in , having jumped from a helicopter, to check in if Claire was OK and to remind us all of his general wonderfulness & all round good Eggsness, so to speak 😏

    I just had one dodgy image removed. I had forgotten putting it there momentarily. It was a blended Ryan with eh, something in the shape of a totem pole, so to speak. It was intended only for WhatsApp but somehow made its way to GIPHY. If I post more porn I’ll be barred, went the warning. They must have an algo - riddem to detect certain shapes.

    Funny Fergal Keane, Orla Guerin and the BBC were nowhere to be seen when reports of atrocities by the British army in Iraq and Afghanistan surfaced

    Or indeed Australian

    Keane and Guerin are morbid actors and emotional tourists



    Can guarantee if this was happening in the North, they would not be chasing up stories, they would be blaming the victims


    The BBC are about as unbiased as Russian state tv, they promote their country’s “interests”, seems the Joe Duffys think it is somehow a sign of intelligence to worship it


    CNN and Euronews are really more reliable

    Joe must be fumin' he's off on one of his many break-eens with dis development in the Dwyer case. Not only has he missed an opportunity to drag up the nefarious habits of Mr. Dwyer so to speak, but he's also missing an opportunity to have a go at blaming de Geee Dee Pee Orrr too.

    I've anecdotally I hasten to add heard some of the Dwyer stuff that didn't make de papers or de court case so to speak - not related to the victim btw, other stuff. It's shall we say, eye-opening.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,794 ✭✭✭An Claidheamh


    That said,

    can hardly blame the Ukrainians for using every avenue they can against Russia, there does not seem to be help coming from NATO - which we are told we must join (despite them doing nothing just supporting the US) - and Putin is no doubt emboldened by moving into Ukraine



  • Posts: 24,207 ✭✭✭✭ Riley Helpless Grapevine


    It was Ryan’s head at the top of a productive pole so to speak.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,122 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    A, I see, I thought given the sanction, the pole might have been lower down, so to speak 😏

    I imagine Filatov won’t be long in leaving, with the excuse that the embassy has been made inhabitable by Irish business interests.
