Absolutely shocking treatment of this man, don’t bury the fundamental principle in nonsense, remember all this man has done is stand up for something he believes in.
Well, so did everyone in jail, did they not?! I mean, a lot of them believed it was right to hit/abuse/kill.steal from their fellow man...
This man can purge his contempt of court anytime he wishes by abiding by the court, lets also remember that.
yeah, but what he believes in is contrary to equality legislation and an impediment to his role as an educator. he bullied and harangued his principal, became subject to injunction, which he defied and contempt of court which he refuses to purge. he's not a martyr or a prisoner of conscience, he's an idiot.
Once again for the slow learners.
Enoch Burke is not in Jail for his "beliefs" he is in jail for his ACTIONS.
He is absolutely entitled to his beliefs, no matter how repugnant the vast majority of people find them.
However :-
All this could have been handled quietly and easily had Enoch for even the briefest of moments behaved like a normal functioning member of society and followed the clearly laid out procedures available to him for conflict resolution instead of choosing to set everything on fire and behave like a loon.
"I was imprisoned for my beliefs... I believed I wouldn't get caught"
Meanwhile, in a wholly unexpected development, Martina and Ammi Burke have been removed from the Court of Appeal after shouting at barristers and the judge.
Gagging to be thrown in prison as well for contempt.
Not true
See @Quin_Dub post above listing everything else.
@Quin_Dub already outlined the particulars, but this is demonstrably not an issue of persecution over beliefs, but a very rigid sequence of legal decisions Burke has failed to adhere to - including a refusal to purge his contempt.
Dont be shocked, this is how the legal system works.
Enoch would be mad to purge his contempt and face his family for Christmas. The annual family Carol Service won't be the same without his contribution though.
Ami's coat could do with a clean.
How is this family still running roughshod over our legal system? Court dates non fooking stop..
That's what comes from wrestling Gardai on courtroom floors.
The fundamental principle is no one is above the law.
is he still showing up outside the school every schoolday?
Unlikely given he's currently in Mountjoy for refusing to purge his contempt. The school has had a nice reprieve.
Yes, via videolink.
More ridiculous antics. I feel sorry for the kids with those kinds of parents
I feel sorry for society with this being dragged on and on… legal eagles mockery!
The Burkes are not kids anymore!!!
whos paying for all this? did they win the euromillions or something? even your man,whats his name?mobile phone guy?couldnt afford this amount of court time...
I know they are lost causes but the state should be looking into any kids THEY have, especially if they want to go down the home school route. Enoch doesn't seem to be able to function in normal society at this point and looks like he will be jailed for life when he could be out easily. Furthermore, he is fully supported by the parents, who should really be telling him they'll be down to pick him up shortly. I'm entitled to take issue with any future kids being indoctrinated into this because my own tax money is now being spent on this prison stint and it looks like I'll be paying for it for quite some time. What are the odds on one of the other kids being put in prison over something similar and taking more money out of our pockets for this nonsense
She knows no one is looking at the coat. We're all just waiting for this...
Yes, exactly....serious amounts money needed for all this utter back and forth nonsense. They are making a mockery of our justice system, and in a sense, exposing it!!! We are allowing it
None of the Burke children are likely to beget (isn't that a lovely biblical word) any children so enjoy this courtroom entertainment while it lasts.
On the other hand if one or two of them do manage to they're bound to have about 15 sprogs so more than making up for the nonproductivity of the others...
Enoch Burke's mother Martina and his sister Ammi were removed from the Court of Appeal today by three Gardai after they entered the courtroom and started shouting at barristers and the judge.
It's like a little early Christmas present for the regulars here, more disruption and shouting. 😄
Is mammy wearing a real fur coat in that picture? 😲😞
All fur coat, and no knickers.
We are.
They never have legal representatives and you can be sure they don't pay costs orders against them
Yeh, plus Enoch's considerable injuction fine.
