    Also worth checking the account AllForIt is citing, they're a far right loon. And the jabs at a teenager from them and AllForIt come across as nasty tbh.

    They expect the school (and all schools) to back down, ignore all the equality legislation in place, and deny students their rights to self-identify.

    Its not going to happen, but they seem to need something to do during the day, as it looks like most of them don't have gainful employment.

    So why not harass and intimidate staff and students going to and from a school?

    Oh its pretty obvious that they'd love a crowd of supporters. The bigger the crowd to give speeches to and the more media present the better.

    2 opposing large groups shouting abuse at each other and jostling with the burkes in the centre of it would be their perfect scenario for them id imagine.

    Oh, the head-honcho of the Irish Bandwaggon-jumping association there in that photo. A few dogs outside that school would be welcome protection from the 'citizen journalists'.

    Strange family, I member seeing the mother screaming at girls wearing skirts in galway, religious nut vs drunk students......



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 273 ✭✭Fotish


    The Lady certainly knows how to get attention and she seems to have harnessed the anti Burke brigade to help her do it.

    I admire her strategy by the way ,it’s highly successful.

    As for her son being afraid going to school, pull the other one !

    And yet this is the first time you have heard of her or her son.....

    To be honest this comes across more like you having an issue with the student because he is fed up with what is happening outside his school. Such a strange take on it all.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Do you think it's acceptable for the likes of Philip Dwyer to be standing outside a school recording minors? Given the fact that they all share the videos on their telegram groups, I would think it's pretty sensible to be concerned.

    Lowest of the low. VILE attack on a 15 year old.

    Philip Dwyer is a creep, who should be kept well away from the public

    The mother of the child in the article is receiving death threats.

    I assume the BOM have not gone back to the High Court to seek another injunction because they are either sick of or skint from doing the states job for them.

    It's beyond shameful how they have been left high and dry.

    Why not unleash the Wilsons senior cup rugby team on Burke and let them tell him in no uncertain terms to get the fkk out of their lives….or else.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,769 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Possibly because, being the rugby team does not make them violent people?

    “His protest is madness. There is no point. It is detrimental to the students and the teachers. Sometimes I am scared, when his supporters try to film me. I don’t know this man who stands outside my school,” he told the Sunday Independent this weekend.

    “I have been filmed by some of his supporters leaving the school on the bus. I don’t think I should have to be fearful of leaving my own school. I do not want to be filmed by those people.”

    You think it's acceptable that these loonbags are hanging around outside a school and filming students? Absolute creeps.

    How would he know Burke if he was never taught by him?

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    The mother of the child chased Gemma ODoherty out of Longford a few years ago when she turned up complaining about the forridners in the child's class at school. The local paper did a thing where a class photo was printed every week, and Gemma and local loon James Reynolds filmed themselves having a chat about it walking through town, until they ran into this child's mother and they both legged it.

    There may be a chance that the newcomers will spoil the Burke Family EB protest plan so it may end up with a disagreement causing a split turning it into a faction row, which would be of benefit to the school ensuring a court order is issued to prevent disorder. I cant see the Burkes being happy with their publicity being misappropriated by the mob. It wouldn't have to be the school seeking an order, but a parent of a pupil seeking protection of the court against a disruptive mob at the school gateway impeding peaceful entry and exit of school children.

    They are happy for their publicity to be misappropriated by themselves.

    Enoch and the rest of this shower are just holding out until the far right's main patron Elon Musk decides on who he wants to rule Ireland …. this is what is really happening …. money and power is all they want like all the rest of these people posing as "crackpots" …..

    Consent is something these guys aren't that familiar with.

    I can see legislation coming in over the coming years banning protests (aside from say teacher industrial action ) outside of schools by people not connected to that school - what Burke and these bunch of idiots are doing is essentially intimidation of staff and pupils - it’s not right and it’s certainly not democracy in action- it’s just sick.

    Anyone filming kids going in and out of school should be immediately arrested on suspicion of being a nonce.

    Warrant issued and all electronical devices confiscated.

    I guarantee it would stop it immediately.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,311 ✭✭✭lmao10


    Quite right. The nonces will take advantage and go filming kids under the guise of some idiotic protest. Their supporters are all suspect nonces as well.

    This is a result of letting the moron out of jail.

    Be great if the school could open another ingress and a different exit, then change them around at random. That'd have EB and the rest of them running from place to place every day. Then open a third one, then a tunnel. The possibilities are endless.

    On the other hand, someone in charge could make a decision based on loitering with intent and harrassment. Followed by garnishing of salary by 80% per paycheck. If what's left is good enough for a person in a Nursing Home on the Fair Deal, it should be enough for a layabout with nothing to do.

    All above spoken in jest, but hopefully might be true someday soon.

    So has the media decided to ignore the plonker or has he quit his campaign (seen sense)
