    Ben has recently been giving his opinion on this weeks political appointments. Apparently you can't be a Minister for Children if you are gay and childless, a Fisheries Minister if you live in the midlands, a Rural Affairs Minister if you live in Dublin nor a Minister for Health if you've an engineering background. On this logic Mr. Gilroy would be an shoe in for several portfolio's given his record on addressing his bank debts, reclaiming farms, arguing with judges and recent visit to Mountjoy

    As for his comments on the new Lord Mayor of Dublin, whom he didn't vote for....

    And yet, he ran for elections himself. Double standards much.

    Car with three people in it was observed to turn away from a Garda checkpoint. Followed, stopped. Two persons in front were "active criminals of interests to Gardai". Car searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Newspaper report doesn't say what, if anything, was found.

    Passenger in rear of car gave name which, however, did not match name on bank card he was carrying. Was then required under Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994 s. 24 to give his name and address; he failed to comply. This is an offence under s.24(3). Newspaper report is of the court proceedings arising out of that charge. Defenece offered was denial that he was ever required to give name and address under s. 24- demand was never made. Outcome is that he was convicted and fined. Appeal has been lodged.

    Ben has been on the Facebook again - this time being interviewed by some like minded individual.

    He has said that Justice McGovern might get a belt of a hurley off him for what he did (jailing him) and said that he was a corrupt, fraudster tramp.

    god i just can't listen to him anymore


    the smugness of the pair of them

    at this stage he judiciary are better to ignore him. If they were to do him for contempt it would martyr him and give more fuel to the protest brigade

    I disagree. Detain him again, it get a few lines on page 10 in a reputable news source such as RTÉ or the IT, normal people get a giggle and we all move on. Ben's audience are minuscule in number and are socially irrelevant as such so their powers of persuasion are close to zilch. Throw him into Clink, he's off the air, his audience will listen to similar whacko within his vicious circle that they listen to anyway. Meanwhile sane people are none the wiser as we see what sort of biscuit we are on a FB feed :)

    Nicholas Cotter, defending, said that a serious car accident in 1991 had caused the defendant brain damage

    Poor fella.

    What's the excuse for the rest of them?

    Ben is off on one hell of a rant about the legislation that Tom is worried about.

    Apparently this legislation has come about due to some case that Ben obviously has an interest in they was before the courts in the last few weeks. According to his esteemed knowledge the Vulture funds went to FG and Ff with bags of cash to get this passed. So they could lie and take peoples homes.

    Oh .. and we are all peasants and British subjects and Irish men have no balls .... he gets really animated when the net tightens on his fantasy world

    Law Reform Commission has been saying we should make this amendment since 1980.

    Vulture funds clearly got to them 40 years ago...

    And of course the same vulture funds went with the same bags of cash to travel back in time to the Law Reform Commission to make them write this into their 2016 report on the Law of Evidence.

    A photo that Benroy posted up this morning was inspected by the Facebook Fact Check police. You can guess what their take on it was :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,668 ✭✭✭whippet


    You can be full sure not one of his grovelling minions will read the actual fact check ... can’t be leaving the echo chamber

    Do I understand
    "She said she asked two solicitors in the Circuit Court that day to represent her but they "walked away""

    to mean that she asked two random solicitors that were present but not engaged by her, to take her case on the spot?

    If so, how quickly do you think they ran out of there?
