If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Porsche has scrapped its sales targets for EVs amid a slump in demand. A previous goal of 80% by 2030 has been watered down and the company now says sales will depend on uptake and how the technology develops.

?Mission-Driven? Government is the Antithesis of Liberty Tue Jul 23, 2024 17:30 | Dr David McGrogan
Labour is "mission-driven", says Keir Starmer. But the last thing anyone should want is a Government with a mission, says David McGrogan. That's because a Government with a mission needs conscripts. That's you and me.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3As promised I protested outside the Egyptian Embassy from 11 a.m. to 12 noon, having notified them by telephone previously. I was told that a letter would be accepted by someone in the Embasy.
My poster had two halves, like the open middle pages of a book.
On the left side it read: EGYPT - STOP 720 EXECUTIONS
On the right side it read: EGYPT - RELEASE IRISH TEENAGER IBRAHIM HALAWA
The gate was locked and there was no bell: waving the letter at the window brought no results. However as deliveries came and the gates had to be opened, one of the staff reluctantly accepted the envelope.
The short letter, handwritten, was as follows:
"Dear Ambassador
I am outside your Embassy this morning as promised to protest against:
1) the 720 (threatened) executions of protestors still in place
2) the detention and treatment of Ibrahim Halawa
Please stop the executions and release Ibrahim and all political prisoners.
With best personal wishes
Justin Morahan"
During the protest three teenagers emerged from the Embassy, read the poster, one of them said something in a foreign language. The others roared laughing and scooted while I told them in English that 720 planned executions was no laughing matter.
A very friendly Garda was present throughout the protest.
fair play Justin
These executions are a complete humanitarian affront
This military junta continues to receive funding from the US.
The hypocrisy is mind boggling
The Irish-Egyptian Halawa Sisters' Circus
Why did the three Halawa sisters and their brother Ibrahim purposefully join a street demonstration in Cairo which led to all four being arrested and detained by President Al-Sisi’s forces? The Halawa sisters were released only to foment a campaign to release their brother Ibrahim Halawa without revealing their ardent support for the banned Muslim Brotherhood.
The Halawas, all four, addressed a crowd of 10,000 Muslim Brotherhood supporters, there is documentary proof of this meeting in Cairo. They were arrested by the Egyptian authorities for supporting the banned Muslim Brotherhood former president Morsi. Their father Imam Hussein Halawa is the supreme Muslim Brotherhood cleric in Ireland and general secretary of the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) which is based at Clonskeagh mosque. The ECFR president is Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an extremist cleric, currently banned from the US, France, UK and Ireland, because he supports terror campaigns against Israel. The ECFR supports the fatwas of al-Qaradawi who advocates gays and apostates should be executed.
The Muslim Brotherhood supports Sharia law and is the origin of al-Qaeda. The Halawa sisters are regularly photographed brandishing photographs of Morsi in Ireland and Egypt and are ardent supporters of Hamas.
Anyone walking in the vicinity of this mosque notes no one attending the mosque smiles or greets the locals. Why are Muslims here in Ireland? Muslims describe the Clonskeagh mosque as the Ikhwani mosque or Muslim Brotherhood mosque.
The misguided attendance at a Muslim Brotherhood demonstration in Egypt is the reason Ibrahim Halawa is currently detained in prison. The Halawa circus is an abuse of the western liberal enlightenment in Ireland which allows people of all religions to live and thrive in a free and liberal society.
