Deaths from heart attacks deaths triple, and cancer deaths are predicted to rise over the next ten years. Yet the lockdowns continue, and the data is ignored. It seems that the main function of the Irish government is to inflate the fear. The latest from our patronising Tánaiste is that we might have to get […]
Irish badgers are being cruelly, and unnecessarily injured, traumatised, and killed by the use of snares by Irish Government employees, according to a wildlife rescuer based in the Midlands. Ruairi O’Leochain runs Athlone’s Wildlife Apiaries, and told Gript that the problem was widespread, and the cruelty involved is distressing and unnecessary, especially when cage traps […]
The recent rise in Covid cases in Ireland has nothing whatsoever to do, according to NPHET, with the decision to open schools in Ireland. No. It is instead a result of an increase in household visits, according to the State’s Covid Czars: A doubling in the amount of inter-household visiting since the start of February […]
According to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, sexual violence affects every demographic and every community – including LGBTQ people. In fact, one of the most wide-ranging reviews to date of Same Sex Intimate Partner Violence concluded that “despite the myth that intimate partner violence is only an issue in heterosexual relationships, its occurrence among lesbian gay […]
Lebensunwertes Leben is German for “life unworthy of life.” As a justification of killing, this idea led to the Holocaust. Alarmingly, there is growing acceptance in Canada of lebensunwertes Leben. Think of Canada’s Bill C-7 and its expansion of “medical assistance in dying” (a euphemism for physician-assisted suicide, i.e. killing done by doctors). Instead of first helping […]
Vicky Wall says that the loss of her baby daughter brought her to realise that sometimes, even amongst the enormous pain and heartbreak of infant death, the small things also mattered. “When Líadán was born, she was so tiny. Beautiful and precious and perfect, but tiny. We took her home from the hospital in a cuddle […]
The European Parliament this afternoon approved a proposed regulation from the Commission for the introduction of vaccine certification across all member states. The approval by the majority of MEPs means that the Commission can bypass the normal legislative process. It will be known as a Digital Green Certificate. Contrary to the impression given by some […]
This is a new one on me, to be honest. I wasn’t aware Cardinals got a salary, as such, and certainly not anything this generous. If this Gript thing doesn’t work out, that’s my next career move, for sure: VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has ordered cardinals to take a 10 percent pay cut and […]
“Diversity is important”, the Lord Mayor said yesterday, as she launched her campaign for the Seanad, in contravention of the wishes of her own party. The Greens weren’t happy, and the parliamentary party met last night to consider a motion of no-confidence in the Mayor as it relates to her other job – Chairwoman of […]
Update: The www.nphet.e domain now plays the intro to the Muppets Show. Here at Gript we take out job of calling out, and countering, “fake news” seriously, and as part of that we have recently decided that we are going to begin occasionally highlighting stories in the Irish media which we feel are questionable or […]
The vicious fight on the Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin city centre, during which at least one teenager was stabbed has brought the issue of knife crime sharply back into public focus. It is of course just the latest incident in a long and pitiful litany of knife related crime as a quick review will easily demonstrate. We […]
After a clearly disturbed young man shot up a number of Asian massage parlours in Atlanta, Georgia, killing 8 people, the mainstream media line was that he was a white supremacist responding to former President Trump’s inflammatory language about the Covid virus.
