For about a year now, Governments and pharmaceutical companies have been working around the clock to develop a vaccine for the original SARS-Cov 2 virus, and that’s just been released, as you know, in the UK and the USA. The problem is that the new strain of Covid which has driven the UK into a […]
Alright, hands up. “Mary-Woo!” is the single worst joke you’ll see on Gript this year, and hopefully, there won’t be one as bad again for a long, long, time. Still, there were plenty of reasons for people to be cheering in Sinn Fein headquarters yesterday. The party has moved into a clear national lead, at […]
You may have heard the news that Ireland is the second best country in the world to live in, according to the human development index: Ireland is second only to Norway on a United Nations annual ranking of 189 countries measured according to average longevity, education and income. The measure puts Ireland ahead of countries […]
In an odd sort of way, the Taoiseach was making a very reasonable point yesterday, when he stood up and told the country, in the Dáil, that the banks were not bailed out when his party last lead a Government. But rarely in Irish history can a reasonable point have been made in a more […]
It’s a basic principle of Irish democracy that taxpayer funding may not be used to promote candidates for election, or sides in referendums. Actually, let me rephrase that: It used to be a basic principle of Irish democracy that taxpayer funding may not be used to promote candidates for election, or sides in referendums. But […]
A few days ago, the lower house of the Argentinian parliament voted to legalise abortion. While the legislation has yet to pass the Argentinian Senate (where the vote is expected to be on a knife edge), the celebrations from the pro-choice side were familiar, to anybody who lived through the Irish referendum of 2018: Cheers […]
Extraordinary. Usually, in Ireland, if you say that one way to reduce the demand for housing is to lower immigration, you’ll be dismissed as a rabid racist who’s peddling fake news. But in the Irish Independent this morning, no less an authority than the ESRI is out warning that a reduction in immigration, due to […]
A company which sold the Irish Government €14million’s worth of Chinese ventilators, which later turned out not to work, is behind a plan to implement a new vaccine passport, Gript can reveal. ROQU, which was only founded in 2017, and had no Irish trading history before being awarded a €14m contract to supply ventilators from […]
Spare a moment, in this festive season, to mourn an old friend that’s missing in action. At this time of year, we’re usually joined by one of our old friends, the Orthomyxoviridae – better known as the viruses that cause Winter Flu. But this year? No sign of them. LATEST FIGURES SHOW that no cases […]
This is one of those stories that an awful lot of people will cheer, with very good reason. Regardless of your views on pornography in general, and whether it should be legal, or illegal, it shouldn’t be much of a matter of controversy to note that Pornhub, or, more accurately, it’s parent company, Mindgeek, is […]
A good, old-fashioned, spy thriller this morning, courtesy of – where else – the United States, where outspoken progressive Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell stands accused of getting, well, rather too close, to an attractive Chinese intelligence asset: California congressman Eric Swalwell has refused to say whether he had a sexual relationship with a Chinese honeytrap […]
It really is remarkable, how little these big tech companies understand about the way that people who believe in conspiracies think. If you ban discussion of something, the average true believer doesn’t suddenly wake up and realise that they might have been wrong. No. It’s evidence that big tech is part of the cover-up. Here’s […]
