 Fr Iggy was a bit Jesuitical Fr Iggy Donovan, Pat Kenny, and Michael McDowell were singing from the same hymn sheet today, suggesting that the peace activists were responsible for last night's disturbance at the Dáil. Was this over-80-year old woman the ring-leader? Hey guys, 83 year old Mrs Valentine Stokes, on RTE at lunchtime, told how she was effectively assaulted by uniformed Gardaí at the disturbance last night. The radio interviewer tried to suggest that activists used her as a sort of buffer zone between them and the gardaí. What a lot of tosh. She was minding her own business (and that of babies in Iraq), and the young protesters came to her aid in a very nice protective move. This woman should be a mascot for the peace movement. The indomitable spirit of the Irish Mammy, caring for children that aren't even hers, that are far away, but in terrible danger. If you don't believe this, check out her interview on the RTE website in the lunchtime news today. Don't reply in a whiney voice until you've heard and seen what happened to her. I HATE whining! And Michael McDowell, go check the video, as you said you would! I'm always nervous of self-described liberal democrats, like him. And Iggy, try to be a bit less jesuitical. Pat, try to be a bit more journalistic, you know, as if you're not in the pocket of the (other) rich dudes. Yeeeeuchh. |
