Orange is the new Burke

A bit like this?

It alone would be worth it if we get some GOLD like this. Fair play to your man though, he had a point. And I had a shirt like that, same colours and pattern, only nicer still.

If I had kids in that school or if I was a teacher I would be worried at this point that EB is going to become Irelands first school shooter. I think thats a very real danger at this point. Its not right to have kids and staff have to work with a lunatic turning up every day.

I'd agree. well, 99% agree. When there's a certain level of fanaticism there's always a risk that it could turn violent. However there's no indication that any of Burkes ideology is violent and in fact it probably views violence as a bad thing. Still I wouldn't feel qualified to say it's 100% certain.

same here, neither of us are truly qualified to be sure, id imagine, even professionals would struggle with such as consideration, but im still not convinced this situation will lead to such violence, i could be wrong of course, but….

Oh, that would be brilliant.

Just brilliant.

Allegedly EB has supporters out there.

There is zero point from putting Enoch on TV for an interview apart from creating a sideshow and giving the family more notoriety.

He’s fundamentally dishonest about why he has been in prison and his statements that his religious beliefs give him immunity for his actions. He’s not going to approach an interview in a reasonable way, and the interviewer ask him questions until he’s blue in the face, Enoch isn’t going to change his mind.

I'd be thinking more of the lines of watching Enoch squirm as Panti spent the interview flirting with him.

while it would certainly be entertaining, the problem is that people would then use the footage to vindicate Enoch and to make out that this was all along a question of Enoch’s religious freedom. The spotlight should illuminate Enoch’s unwillingness to engage in a reasonable manner that one would expect from a professional in a position of authority. His beliefs and what led him to behave like this is arbitrary. Today, he rejects the use of the pronouns. Maybe tomorrow he rejects the vegan meals in the canteen. Professionalism is all about dependability and a knowledge on how to appropriately escalate one’s concerns through the chain of command. If we all take a foghorn and start denouncing our personal prejudices, the workplace will descend into chaos

And that, I think, was why he was released without his own application. To adduce evidence that he was not genuine in pursuing his appeal and thus to allow the court to make an order bypassing all the other processes - it did not matter hell fore that this might have been apparent (or even obvious) to the court as they could not take notice of it, it was not evidence.

Clearly he is not bothered about the trauma this might be causing kids going to the school. Some of time might find it funny, but some would be badly effected by this. Burke is not as passive and caring as people seem to think.

fair ply to him,he is a brave lad,he will come out on top in the end.

A man so scared of his mother that he remonstrated himself for being almost tempted to go to the pub once. Bravery is not something he has.
