It’s getting hard to count the number of disasters the Minister for Health has been involved in this week, and its only Wednesday morning. At the present rate, it is entirely possible, if not likely, he’ll have single handedly bankrupted the state by Friday. First, this week, we learned what he was up to in […]
When I put this down on the list of things to write about, yesterday afternoon, the plan was simple enough: Point out how ludicrously insane this statement is, and question how in the world it ended up being allowed to go unchallenged on the national broadcaster. But then, last night, we heard that the Government […]
It’s tempting to say that London, in the video below, is “getting back to normal”. But that’s not quite right, is it? It’s standing room only in Soho this evening. A carnival atmosphere. “This is London,” one man tells me. pic.twitter.com/KdeqvQCaFN — Matthew Thompson (@mattuthompson) April 12, 2021 For one thing, though the United Kingdom […]
This is one of those stories that is half common sense, and half utterly ludicrous. In fairness to Fine Gael Senator Barry Ward, let us start with the part that’s common sense: Vaccinated persons should be exempt from Mandatory Hotel Quarantine – Ward 12th April 2021 – Senator Barry Ward Fine Gael Senator Barry Ward […]
In the week that marked the 23rd anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement on April 10, 1998, the loyalist violence in Belfast underlined the fact that little has changed regarding the fundamental nature of society in the north of Ireland. It is unlikely that many of the people taking part in the […]
Don’t expect those on the real gravy train to tackle anything other than mere trifles like social media accounts and “foreign interference”.
This weekend, in the name of safety, the Irish Government interned – without trial – a fully vaccinated man who had also provided a negative covid test, and fully intended to prevent him from going to see his dying father. The man took them to court, and, rather than allow the court to rule on […]
Professor Gerry Killeen will be familiar to readers of Gript, being, as he is, one of the leading lights in the Zero Covid campaign, and being the apparent owner of an access-all-areas pass for the RTÉ campus in Donnybrook, where he’s never off the air. Professor Killeen, like a lot of the Zero Covid types, […]
Despite the Irish elite’s fawning attitude to the American Democrats, it would seem that the Biden administration is paying them no heed. One of the reasons that the Woke corporations – and their dependents in countries such as Ireland – hated Trump was that the former U.S. President was attempting to ensure that Ireland and […]
The so-called Enlightenment placed man at the center of the universe, edging aside the “God-centered” worldview once prevalent among Western elites. Then came the Industrial Revolution, spawning the age of “Economic Man.” Matters of consequence came to be viewed primarily through the prism of economic impact. That is something that both Karl Marx and the robber barons […]
Independent Wexford TD Verona Murphy has hit out at regulators over new “Stalinist” rural planning rules that she says will force rural people into “urbanised ghettos”, claiming that a “Dublin-centric government” does not understand rural issues. “For a long time now there’s been a lot of disquiet in relation to planning regulation and particularly in […]
A report by The Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA) has shown that during the period from 7 September 2020 to 26 March 2021, it received a total of 2,352 phone calls and e-mails requesting information and/or complaint forms.
