One wonders if anyone in the Irish authorities has spotted the irony that as the Gardaí are carrying out further raids on an illegal immigration gang to stop people-smuggling, the government is gearing up to offer amnesty to illegal migrants in much the same way. The gang in question, based in the Republic, which Gardaí […]
At this stage, it’s hard to know whether Australia is a real country, or an imaginary place invented by NPHET to make the Irish Government seem like a benevolent and kind alternative: Fifteen rescue dogs, including 10 puppies, have been shot dead by a rural Australian council under its interpretation of coronavirus restrictions.

The Taliban may be terrible news for the people of Afghanistan, but for people who have to find things to write about, there’s certainly been a silver lining to that particular […]
Credit to the Irish Farmer’s Journal, for this scoop, and to their reporter, Declan O’Brien. You can read the full article here, if you have a subscription.
