Orange is the new Burke

There is the possibility that the WHS grounds actually include the space, where he stands, between the public road and the school grounds proper, as in the curved area to the front of the gates open to the public road being an area designed to allow vehicles/people halt while others are exiting the school grounds, being WHS property. A lot of schools and properties have the same design vehicle entranceway.

The Daily Mirror has a report on F/B covering EB's arrival on foot at WHS with a posse of camera-people and other people and a bunch of photos of him talking to an elderly security man inside the school grounds, said security man with his arms extended to hold back EB's advancing more into the school grounds.

Poor kids having to go through this circus to get to school every few weeks .
With the type of crowd that turned up to support him this morning it’s the last place you would want your children.

He doesn’t give a flying **** about anyone else , his only agenda is spouting his nonsense to as many people as possible and all this is giving him the perfect platform to do it .
If my child was in that school I don’t think i could hold myself back without telling him what I taught of him to be honest.
A good kick in the bollix is what he needs .

If he's waiting on the Castlepollard Guards to take him away, good luck to him. Useless fuckers!

He complained that being in prison hampered his preparations to make an appeal. So the judge released him to allow him to prepare. Instead of quietly preparing he goes straight back to the school breaking the court order once again.

He complained being released was a trap. But goes to the school which will likely lead to his return to prison thereby self-activating the 'trap'.

Goes to show there is a big difference between having intelligence and logic. Any sense of logic was removed from him at home many years ago.

This strikes me as a battle of wills between Enoch Burke/Burke family and the state. Enoch will not win this. The state cannot be seen to bend no matter how genuine Enoch is in his convictions and no matter the merit of his convictions. He has been requested to stay away from the school and he persists on flouting that ruling. He is doing his own name and the validity of whatever argument he is attempting to put forward enormous damage.

Their can be a fine line between principle and acting rationally. Sadly Enoch has crossed over to the irrational side and the merits or otherwise of his argument is no longer irrelevant.

Ah here at this stage just leave him off.

There probably wasn't much legs to report it from day one. But this no longer needs to be news.

If it was the majority of the other schools in the country that he tried this at, he wouldn’t have lasted in his protest more than a week as the yahoos that populate most secondary schools would have pelted him repeatedly with anything to hand and pissed on him etc.

He’d have given up long ago if he was facing actual adversity instead of the High Court. He was being met on his own ground, talking and ‘sounding’ intelligent.

a lot of bots to be fair

It’s bad form of the judge making the school, pupils and parents go through all these hoops again.

Cregan said this morning that it appeared the school might have to bring a fresh motion to attach and commit Mr Burke to prison again.

Saw that banner outside the Dept of Migration on Stephens Green yesterday (it's there every Wednesday).

Must be great being able to take time off work to protest as often as they do
