You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

Has the journalist who reported on this incident, reported things that didn’t happen in the past for which the Irish Times had to publish a retraction and apology?

The answer is yes.

Why the deserved scepticism of other journalists who have previously reported things that never happened but unshakable confidence in this story by this journalist?

Maybe people from a certain ideological perspective are willing to suspend disbelief solely because they wish it to be true.

They actually think that they are convincing people that nothing happened. The lads living there just decided to do a runner but not related to this.

Yeah they are on their last legs and they left because of the journalists and not because of the scumbags.

Oooookay

Well they lived there peacefully for months until Kitty Holland turned up.

You don’t know the reason they moved. Perhaps they wanted to avoid the authorities and press as much as the locals.

Now that’s just speculating on reasons like yourself.

I think we’ve already been over this. She eye witnessed the attackers both trespass on and leave the site, in addition to hearing the fight take place and actively shouting at the attacker and subsequently asking the attacker face to face about their motives.

Throwback to 5 years ago when the Republicans acknowledged the serious threat that Putin was. Even in 2017, they boasted about aid they sent to Ukraine to fight back against Russia.

During Impeachment 1, in 2019, their *entire impeachment defense* nearly hinged on the fact they sent weapons to Ukraine. Very proud of this fact!

But now that Biden has to deal with Ukraine, suddenly sending them weapons is the worst thing ever and we should just roll over for Russia and accept their expansion over Europe

MARC BERNIER: A lot of people are wondering where we are with the Russians after the Syrian situation. They’re not happy with us. The president had talked about how it would be good to get along with Russia and it confused some people. So where do you think we’re going with Russia?

RON DESANTIS: Well, this idea that, like, it would be good to get along with Russia. Yeah, it’d be good to get along with anybody. But you got to understand, when you’re dealing with somebody like Vladimir Putin, he does not see the world the same way that we see the world. He views the biggest tragedy in the 20th century to be the fall of Soviet communism and the evil empire. That was something that was responsible for enslaving millions of people. Millions died on the watch of communism. And yet he thinks that’s a tragedy. He wants to reconstitute the Russian empire.

And so what you see with him in a place like Syria and I think some of the administration’s message about, oh, does Putin really want to be on the side of Assad and these unsavory characters? Honestly, I don’t think he cares about that.

What he sees in the Middle East is a chance to project power. He has access to a warm water port on the Mediterranean. He has the ability to launch aircraft in the region. And that brings him one step closer to having a mighty expansive Russia. And so I think that he’s been a threat for a long time.

You know, Clinton tried to work with him. Bush tried to work with him. Obama tried to reset. Trump was very positive about Putin. And I think that reality has set in that this is not going to work out that way, and you’re better off dealing with Putin by being strong. I mean, we’ve tried to deal with some of this in the Congress a couple of years ago. We authorized lethal aid for Ukraine so that they could resist some of the Russian incursion. The Obama administration fought us on that. But I think that’s the type of thing when Putin sees he can gain an inch, he’s actually apt to take a mile. And basically, if America’s not going to give him any pushback, I think he’s going to continue to try to expand Russian influence.

You already know, having listened to the interview you yourself linked me to. You're JAQing off now.

Explained not 2 minutes into broadcast

"They showed us around the tents and how they organized it ..."

Sounds like you don't know enough about this case to speculate one way or the other so probably best to leave it be and let the Gards handle it then.

So you are claiming that the other trespassers, the people who had been living on this land which they didn’t own for months. Could give another person who didn’t own the land, Kitty Holland, the right to trespass onto it also?

I am sorry but that just doesn’t fly.

All the parties involved. The migrants in the illegal camp, the journalist and photographer and the alleged attackers were all trespassing.

You say she eyewitnessed the attackers without seeing the attack.

That is a complete oxymoron.

No. You used trespass because of its connotations to illegality and then object when it is pointed out that the residents and journalists were trespassing also.

Carry on.

No, you seem very lost. As I said, just explaining how an eye witness would know they were up to conspicuous activity by the manner they entered the site.
