    Is the Journal going to write about one of the terrorists being a “refugee” from Syria or does that go against your open borders agenda.

    They are waiting to get confirmation. No point jumping to conclusions, but if it happens to be true, sh!t is going to go down

    Japan’s keeps Islamic state attacks away because. 1. They’re the only country to give citizenship to Muslims. 2. Propagation of Islam is banned. 3. The Japanese government is of the option that Muslims are fundamentalists and unwilling to change their laws. 4. Japan is the only country in the world with negligible number of embassies in Islamic countries. 5. Permanent residency is not given to Muslims.

    Japan has always been insular. I wouldn’t read too much into their laws.
    BTW….Japanese troops are not allowed to be stationed over seas……so that kinda takes them off the radar of Middle East terrorists.

    Absolutely not Al and neither should Gerry. Sure when he didn’t take responsibility for giving his brother a prominent roll within a SF cumann after he knew he was a child abuser I’d hardly expect him to take responsibility now. I wondered why Gerry and Mary Lou weren’t out shouting about the outrage last week. Kinda know now.

    Then why did you mention it….unless you are only for scoring political points and nothing else while forgetting that she took Maria Cahill’s place in the RNU….an organisation that was created in opposition to SF’s and the IRA’s agreement to the Good Friday Agreement.
    Anyone who believes that Maria Cahill was accidentally made National Secretary of the RNU by mistake seriously needs to grow some brain cells. Her whole life was about being immersed in Republicanism and to claim after leaving the IRA(of which she was a member too) that she didn’t know what the RNU was about is absolutely ludicrous.
    So when the IRA decided to give peace a chance….she jumped ship to continue terrorist activities with dissident Republicans….and you think that’s OK……lol yopu’re being played by Lab/FG and you don’t even realise it.

    I have repeatedly said I wouldn’t vote for Maria Cahill personally. I do not support her or labour or even FG for that matter. But it’s the double standards that SF supporters on here continually throw out that pisses me off. I dont expect you to understand.

    Al Ignore the zombies. British propaganda did a good job for years making Gerry look like the baddie all over Ireland. Reason for this is because they knew he was a prominent strong articulate intelligent adversary politically in the north, and needed to slander him to keep him from touching the minds of people. Showing them up for what they were doing up north. And it slowly comes out day by day collaborations of murder pretending it was IRA but it was British agencies and loyalists. How they can trust or believe sanything coming out of main stream media from sources that have been shown to be outright liars is beyond me.
    Why people cant see through this is because they are sheep. I would love to shake their heads till they woke up.
    Not a shred of evidence not one tiny iota of it in the decades that Gerry gave any orders took part in anything nothing not a thing, with the surveillance 24/7 tailing bugging. Give me a break.
    And this one now in Labour what a joke.

    That was probably directed at you Hosford. I know you are probably in a group chat with people down at “The Drugstore” but give it a go. Over 2,000 views already…Think about it.

    Charlie, the excerpt is in keeping with our usual style, which usually references three major stories and says “X, Y and Z had people talking today.”

    In light of the events of the last 24 hours, only one story felt applicable here.

    As for the “Drugstore” comment, you clearly have a perception of my life that could not be further from reality.

    I appreciate the reply Paul. I just thought that more nuance would be used.

    I’m glad that my thoughts on your lifestyle is off the mark too. It is well know the journal office is full of substance abuse and risky sex. I just thought you would be into that.

    Thanks again.
