Carol Cadwalladr's latest 'analysis' of what she calls the 'broligarchy' is a feverish mishmash of Trump Derangement Syndrome, cod feminism and Delingpole-esque levels of conspiracy theory gobbledegook, says James Alexander

Smoggie Queens shows how far BBC comedy has fallen, says Steven Tucker. Let's be honest, there's only one reason the corporation made this awful TV programme, and it's certainly not because it's funny.

Ahern collaborates with Anglo-America to frame Michael McKevitt.

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Saturday March 29, 2003 20:27author by Al O'Halloran Report this post to the editors

On Radio Free Eireann, NYC, today, Bernadette Sands-McKevitt, sister of Bobby Sands, MP, appealed to civil libertarians to protest the mistreatment of her husband, Michael McKevitt, who is now in his third year on remand, charged with being the leader of the Real IRA. McKevitt is held in a cell with no sanitary facilities. The sole evidence against him comes from MI5 and FBI agent, Rupert, and the prosecution is withholding documents from the defense. McKevitt who has been seriously ill with pneumonia, goes on trial(non-jury) in June. The Ahern regime has collaborated fully with the Anglo-American intelligence services in this attempt to railroad McKevitt.

He won't be left to rot in hell there.
No Sir, we've got a much better way of dealing with lawbreakers. We call it the Death Penalty.

Three years on remand? I thought everyone was entitled to have their case dealt with within a reasonable time-frame?
Everyone has, or should have, the right to a fair trial without being subjected to the kind of prejudice displayed above.

Interesting name that, "holy mugger". We have had more than our fair share of holy muggers (and holy buggers) in this country.

As for your comment that he should "Rot in hell"? - That sort of comment is the kind of thing I would expect to hear from the likes of George Bush and the religious loopers who associate with him.

Mr. McKevitt has not been convicted of anything. These are mere allegations against him. The sole 'evidence' against him comes from a highly-paid MI5 and FBI informer. And while McKevitt is abused in jail, Sinn Fein invites the American ambassador to their Ard Fheis. By doing so they give legitimacy to the massacre of Iraqis.

Ahern and Harney are the political leaders of the comprador/gombeen class. Their economic and political policy is to integrate Ireland, North and South, fully into Anglo-American imperialism.

author by Jim Costellopublication date Sat Mar 29, 2003 21:06author address author phone Report this post to the editors

Framing McKevitt and turning Shannon into a warport are parts of the same policy: subordinating Ireland, North and South, to Anglo-American imperialism. By resisting one you resist the other. So lets hear some of the anti-war movement come to the defense of McKevitt. An attack on the civil liberties of anyone is an attack on everyone's civil liberties. Or are Irish civil libertarians only concerned with human rights violations thousands of miles away? First they came for the republicans....

WE ALL KNOW WHAT MCKEVITT IS. I'M GLAD THAT HE HAS NO SANITARY FACILITIES. HE HAS SPENT LONG ENOUGH PISSING ON EVERYONE ELSE. HE IS SCUM.
