    Verona meeting with MI5! :D:D:D:D:D

    It’s public knowledge. Google is your friend.

    I can see plenty of accidents. None apportion blame to either party.

    I see plenty of crashes or collisions, not accidents. The word 'accident' was dreamt up by the PR industry working for the motor industry in the 1930s to sanitise the widespread mayhem that cars and trucks were causing on the road, and it stuck.


    Gardai, rescue services, Road Safety Authorities don't use the word 'accident' anymore - they talk about crashes or collisions.


    Most road deaths and collisions don't involve cyclists or pedestrians. Most road deaths and collisions are motorists killing themselves, other motorists or passengers.

    After her disappointing result in the bi election last year. She's managed to secure a seat this time around.
    Was it the change people were looking for more a protest vote to Leo?

    It's well documented that she attended MI5 and Interpol briefings that were arranged by the EU.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that the electorate saw through the media hysteria and trust her to do a good job.


    The realization for FG now should be that the vote in the bye election was nothing to do with the FG party vote and was all down to people voting for her,.

    No hysteria. She said what she said and apologised and retracted.

    Documented means recorded.



    It's referenced in the following articles:

    It would be normal for the EU commission to invite heads of industrial representative groups to attends information sessions like this.

    She says this herself. I'd be interested in knowing just what these briefs contain.
    She was the head of an industry group. It's not like she was working as a security analyst or a spook.

    Presumably it was a seminar where they gave a general discussion to ensure that industry personnel were aware of the issues. I seriously doubt British intelligence services provided anything that wasn't public knowledge with civilian truckers groups.

    You said it was 'documented'. You've posted a link to her claim that she attended.

    I was really hoping that maybe there was some kind of document that confirmed that she attended such a briefing - but sadly no.

    She never claimed to be security analyst but chose to highlight what they were informed of and she's being castigated for highlighting it.
