offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

The Guardian, of all papers, has acknowledged that predictions about the disappearance of Arctic sea ice may ? just may ? have been exaggerated. Paging Gore Vidal: Can we have that prize back please?

As Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer urged restraint when it came to prosecuting people for social media posts. Why, then, was the book thrown at Lucy Connolly?

Smegma for the Needy

category national | gender and sexuality | other press author Saturday November 06, 2010 13:36author by circumscript Report this post to the editors

Even if listeners to the home service of wireless RTE yesterday were the first to know, by now there's no inside knowledge or shame attached to the FF/Green coalition's latest solution for Ireland's ills.

Yep. We're talking smegma.

Of course none of the commercial press titles or paid journalists or even esteemed opposition deputies or presidential candidates will utter the word................

But free smegma is there for the having.
If you don't - there's some going free courtesy of FF & The Greens.

Alas, Minister Brendan Smith did not properly explain how the Irish underclass might obtain their free smegma.

Oh yes. They keep that kind of thing under wraps.

Well it's simple. All you need to do is present yourself at any office of the state (with or without a friendly bullet proof glass talk space window) & request your smegma.

Remember smegma is (according to wikipedia) a natural byproduct of both male and female genitalia so if you feel like you're waiting on your bit, you could always generate your own. Exactly - motivation is the key.

There really isn't much else anyone could add to a story like this.

Only the Irish would understand

Heh...

"ONLINE REACTION to the free cheese announcement was, predictably, swift, sharp and prolific.

Cheese puns abounded on the micro-blogging website Twitter.

Comments as sharp as a cheese-wire included user Seaniemulvihill’s remark that the scheme “has to be for the grater good”.

But PaddyDuffy said the whole thing was “really exhausting my patience in Ireland; I camembert it any more.”

In response, the user longlivemufasa said: “Its un-brie-lievable!”

VirtualDonal took the benign view that while the Government “squandered Milleens”, it was for the “Gouda da country”.

Simon McGarr, posting under his handle Tupp_Ed, suggested an election slogan for Fianna Fáil: “A lot done, more fondue.”


Lets hope the free cheese tastes better than you are suggesting in this article! But beggars can't be choosers I guess, eh FF?
