The global warming craze is dying out, says Matt Ridley in the Spectator, as banks, billionaires and politicians bail out of the Net Zero agenda. Good. The climatastrophe narrative has been a terrible mistake.

Fianna Fail Granny, Warmonger,Hypocrite

category national | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Monday June 30, 2008 10:30author by paul o tooleauthor email pauljotoole at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

More hypocracy from the Fianna Fail, PD and now the New Green Party

Fianna Fails Mary O'Rourke calls for the assasination of Robert Mugabe. Only last week the Queen 'stripped him' of his knighthood (ouch), so I suppose she is just showing the Queen that she can talk tough also.
Morgan tsvangirai, 'preferred' president and friend of the west, now hiding in a Duch Embassy pleading for his fellow countrymen to vote lest they be shot or tortured, is backed by all western governments who will decry the election....why?
One thing, he will reverse Mugabe's programme of removing ex-colonial, mainly British, white farmers from Zimbabwe's land. 4,700 so far have been removed forcefully. If this succeeds, and it looked like it might have, this removes the white stronghold of real power in Zimbabwe. Land ownership and two party statehood for electible western supported candidates would suit the west very much to continnue control of internal resources and international affairs in Zimbabwe.

Calling for Mugabe's assisanation as Mary O Rourkes statement to 'shoot him' is a bit rich comming from a Fianna Failer.
A minority FF government propped up with a few independents and minor parties masquerading in public as a force to be rekoned with without any real direction other than privatising everything that this country is worth-is one thing. Sticking its long thick neck out into the big international bad world and calling for assasinations to be enacted is what we say about Ireland 'punching above its weight'. Big Talk from tough people like Bush and Blair now ORourke, bet not one of them lost a nights sleep for all the killing they've instigated
The irony, and the double ironies are laughable...if it wasnt so sick
With the help of Mary O'Rourkes signature and without UN approval-stopovers and re-fuelling for the US military was made possible with the murder of more than 1 milliom so far and a country destroyed......Then when they found the guy they were looking for.... Dermot Aherne asked for Sadam Hussein 'to be spared the death penalty'-
..in light of all the beef that Sadam bought from Fianna Fails Friends under Haughey while carrying out his reign of terror and torture, I suppose it was a fitting gesture of our minister of Forigen Affairs to ask for his life to be spared
They oppose the alleged torture of Zimbabwes citizens when western media bombards the headlines with the zimbabwean election fiasco- yet we allow rendition flights through Shannon and not a single word to the proper about any system to ensure this does not happen, thereby supporting the US policy of torturing human beings- a disgrace we as a country will never recover from.

We agree to banning cluster bombs manufacture, transport and use. Michael Martin said it was a firm step foreward in the fight to ban cluster bombs...yet, we make the triggers for them in Galway, we transport them through Shannon and we support their use because we facilitate their manufacture, transportation and their use on Iraqi, Lebaneese and Afgaani civilians.

I'll stop here, you get the picture.
