If you were to draw a Venn diagram of the people who've been aggressively protesting about various hot topics over the past few years you'd find quite an overlap. There's a motley bunch of "activists" who flip between anti-vaccination, anti-immigration, anti-LGBT and anti-anything else you can think of, depending on the day that's in it. There are some pretty nasty individuals in this cohort and many seem to benefit financially from what they do. Naturally, they never leave home without a phone and a selfie stick.
And today his mother and 3 siblings stood outside the four courts with their placards and a microphone for hours, his mother was ranting all day
Looks like the appeal can finally go ahead! https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2023/12/20/enoch-burke-fails-to-remove-promoter-of-transgenderism-from-dismissal-appeal-panel/
Post edited after re-reading my original:
I don't think people involved in the education of children ever get to thinking - at a moment in time - whether they should involve god in their decisions or thoughts on the gender of a child "Hey, big fella, am I getting this right, that I have the right to interfere and put life-advancement blocks in the path of the child?".
It would probably not occur to them, even though those religious persons who oppose gender assignment decisions later in life claim the child's gender is a decision of/for god, not of humans without blinking an eye, that they never gave a thought to it or god, just using it later on when it is a matter of convenience for them, regardless to the child or adult concerned.
Hell: even the assignation of a child's gender at birth is based on the genitalia the medics see between the legs of the newly born child, and most probably not on the notion of a religiously-minded person there seeking godly advice on it at that moment in time. The formal assigning of gender then is what most else of the child's future-life is based on....
Well, if these people believe in God, then why not Santa...?
There was a "south east lives matter" too - I think it might be from the racist protests in Rosslare
Enoch hasn't made it to the big time yet. Not until Gemma O' Doherty comes out in support of him.
Even God, if there is one, must be thinking "Give it up man, you've made your point!"
This news has made my day!
😁
But Justice Dignam took his sweet time...!!!
Though ffs, the first paragraph...
Teacher Enoch Burke has lost a High Court challenge over the composition of a panel that will hear his appeal against his dismissal from Wilson’s Hospital School in Westmeath following his refusal to address a transgender pupil with the pronoun “they” or by their new name.
🤦♀️

I can agree with that bunch on one thing - Enoch should not be in prison. Nobody should have put themselves into that position over so little. Maybe they can have a word in his ear about the one simple little thing he can promise NOT to do in order to get out of the big house. But then they'd have to pack up and go home and get back to harassing citizens trying to legally use the roads.
🤣🤣🤣
Is it any wonder you got idiots still banging the persecution drum with reductive reporting like that?
I hadn't realised part of the originating incident was also that Burke was deadnaming too. Whatever about pronoun quibbling, that behaviour is just being an outright àsshole.
That was a nice early Christmas present for Enoch from Judge Dignam, would love to being a fly on the wall when he got that news, what goes around comes around. All he has to now to look forward to is mammys Christmas present. Maybe a new tie for his next court date or socks.
"Christians" refusing to accept that people can and do change their name is particularly bonkers seeing as their book has a very notable case of it - Saul to Paul.
It's only an issue when it Paul to Paula
Or Saula, if we're to be biblical.
My apologies: My original post included more direct references to medics and newly-born children, their decision on the gender of children bound up with god, and how both that practice and that peculiar is/was used religiously by others to explain away thoughts on what should/shouldn't [as against could] be done to assist the children.
The Burkes [and others] have taken that to another level by decrying the use of the word "they" instead of he/she because of the gender god [allegedly to their beliefs] had assigned to the child. The Burkes want to change the basis of Irish law to put THEIR god in a pre-eminent position above all else.
He should be in prison though, that is the punishment for what he did.
What would you have him do instead?
Poor fella got an awful bang on the head and then "god" started talking to him. Uhuh.
He's in prison for contempt of court, if he purges that contempt then he is released immediately.
He might well face criminal charges in future, but so far he hasn't (which makes the 'drop the charges against Enoch' placard really special)
At this stage, the word Burke and it's derivatives should really enter the Irish version of the dictionary.
Burke - 1. A person who regularly engages in obvious ignorant and dismissive behaviour while claiming to act in righteousness 2. A highly intelligent but socially inept individual 3. A person unable to detach religious views in non-religious situations 4. A member of a familial cult 5. (to Burke) Stand around in a pointless manner for the purposes of receiving attention
Burkemama - 1. An over-bearing Matriarch 2. An individual who engages in shrieking or chanting behaviour when confronted 3. A cult leader 4. A mad woman
Burkish - 1. To act in an ignorant manner 2. Act in a deliberately difficult manner to prevent the continuance of a proceeding 3. Unacceptable behaviour 4. To frown upon or dislike unmarried and non-heterosexual orientations and lifestyles
Burkism - 1. The belief in one's pious outlook or religious belief to be above that of all others 2. The belief that unmarried and non-heterosexual orientations and lifestyles are immoral or sinful
Yes I know that, that makes it all the more stupid that he literally has to say a few words and he is out. But he won't.
Berk n. rhyming slang "Berkshire Hunt".
That's indicative of the fact that these rent-a-mob lads couldn't give a flying pronoun about Enoch. Anything they are told to protest, off they go.
Way of life dude…..way of life.
You left out Burkery.
Easily defined as The action of being Burkish or performing Burkism
Agreed 🤣
