RHASIDAT ADELEKE IS enjoying the support from Irish fans in Paris after dominating her 400 metre heat in the Olympic Games this morning and securing a place in Wednesday’s final.

The Dublin-born runner came first in her heat this morning, cruising over the line in what seemed second nature to her. Speaking after qualifying for the Olympic final, Adeleke said she is appreciating the support from irish fans in Paris.

“I was like, ‘Am I at Morton Stadium right now?’,” she told RTÉ Sport when asked how the reception felt.

    Not one media outlet has interviewed or brought up the concerns the citizens of the UK Ireland or other EU countries have, genuine protests where hijacked by toe rags or government fixers.

    @Alan B: I know I keep thinking I will end up like Saw. But then I m reminded many of today’s freedoms are here because people wouldn’t shut up.

    @Be Lucky: unfortunately it looks as though its going to get worse in the end everyone suffers. The government should have planned the whole process but as usual don’t,now this is the result they’re actually fueling the so called far right playing straight into it makes no sense at all.

    @Be Lucky: As long as the “concerned citizens” allow the toe-rags to speak for them, little will change. Elected councillors stroking up hatred aren’t helping anything but, then again, the concerned citizens voted these people in.

    Hawkish and presumptive ‘opinion’ piece from Dr. Luke (with comments closed of course) Maybe if people understood their predispositions to being ‘mad’ then they wouldn’t have flipped out, naive to blame a plant… blame a failed ‘healthcare system’ perhaps!
