Conor McGregor Megathread *Mod Warning in OP Updated 20th April*

Perhaps. But I would also contend that considering being against rape "Virtue Signalling" is just a different way to say the same thing.

Maybe she does. But Cancade Owens is a far-right huckster who says the Moon Landings are fake, that Brigitte Macron is secretly a man, says that jews were behind the killing of JFK and has some weird views on Hitler just being a "Nationalist"

Forgive me if I skip her video on Conor McGregor's trial.

The mentioning of the CCTV contradicting the medical evidence. It’s just really dumb to bring that up.. shows next to no cop on

They are absolutely fair points that i agree on. But i can see why the CCTV footage gave the DPP pause on charging him….it's not a simple clear cut case to make.

That's an excellent article and I'd agree with most of it.

He's labelling the decision of businesses not to sell a rapist's alcohol to be based on being PC. I'm lost on how that could be construed as being PC gone mad. On top of that it's pretty clearly an economic decision which he appears to be ignoring .

but I wanted your opinion - not "its up to the retailer"

It's clear from Ewan MacKenna's article that he believes McGregor and disbelieves Ms Hand.

If he believed Ms Hand, that she was raped, he would hardly be trying to take her down by saying how she treated her boyfriend and child over those 24 hours as "disgusting". It's clear from the article because he says "It’s then she claims the rape took place, something the jury agreed with, thus we must too." It's clear that he doesn't but he can't say that, so instead he tries to bring her down because of what he calls her disgusting behaviour over the course of that 24 hours.

Lets break down what he is actually calling disgusting:

• She got horrendously drunk despite being a mother. I mean, where do I go with this.
• She took cocaine despite being a mother. It's not great, but it's far more widespread in the under-30's now then 20 years ago. Most younger people would put taking cocaine on a par with getting drunk. No more and no less morally reprehensible. She wasn't in charge of her daughter at the time, it wasn't like she was getting drunk and high while looking after her.
• While drunk and high she tagged someone she vaguely knew in pics of herself - fully clothed - on a night out, despite having a boyfriend. Now, lets point out he's not saying she is disgusting because she shagged someone in the toilets during her Christmas party. He's not saying she's disgusting because she sent nude photos of herself to another man. No, he's saying she's disgusting because she tagged another man in photos of her at her Christmas party on a public platform that her boyfriend could clearly see.
• While drunk and high she called another man and asked him to take her and her mate to an after party, despite having a boyfriend. Again, not great, probably something you'd have an argument with your boyfriend about after the fact and you'd have to apologise for, but hardly disgusting.

And because of the above, we should not be admiring her for her actions since those 24 hours.

The reason why people admire Ms Hand (and it is exclusively those who believe she was raped)

• She reported the rape to the Gardai. This requires an enormous amount of bravery.
• She put up with harassment, both online and locally once people became aware that she had reported the rape.
• She had to deal with the blow that, despite her reporting the rape, being subject to an internal examination in order to collect evidence, the DPP was not going to pursue criminal action.
• She had to engage solicitors and detail again the rape to them in order to commence a civil action.
• She had to deal with a break in and her boyfriend being stabbed while her daughter was in the house, and despite this continued with her civil case.
• She gave evidence over the course of the civil trial of the rape and had to endure the defence team and her rapist calling her a liar and suggesting that she enjoyed the rape and that she probably slept with multiple men.
• Finally she likely turned down a settlement offer in order to drop the case. Obviously we have no blatant evidence of this, but most people would believe that McGregor would have offered a substantial sum.

I don't think anything about her behaviour during those 24 hours should negate the admiration for what she has done since.

no not having an opinion is not having an opinion.

why post anything then

How much is McGregor's whiskey ?

40 euro from what what I can see online. There's a few retailers still selling it.

excellent post. Yes, he wants to come out and say McGregor did not rape her, but he’s skirting around it using morals and principles and standards etc

You'll get some pretty nice starter stuff at the 40 euro mark. Eg teelings. Nobody who is into whiskey is picking up Proper 12.

McKenna is a narcisstic fvcking parasite whos been living off being named sports writer of the year in 2012 as some kind of basis for people to listen and agree with his disgusting bigotry.

The less attention paid to him the better

This.

P12 is probably only good for mixing or getting drunk. If you actually like whiskey, this would never grace your lips.

In or around that budget is Roe & Co. which is a little cracker of a whiskey.
