The Faux-Radicalism of Kneecap Wed Apr 30, 2025 19:00 | Andrew Doyle
Kneecap's vocal support for Hamas and call for fans to murder Tory MPs is obviously reprehensible. But it's just for show, says Andrew Doyle. The police shouldn't waste their time investigating rappers.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Reilly calls for GM application to be rejected
Meath Sinn Fein Counciillor Joe Reilly has called on the Minister for Agriculture Mary Coughlan to prevent the granting of a license to a German company to grow genetically modified potatoes here. Councillor Reilly was responding to a report that BASF has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency to be allowed grow a trial crop at Summerhill, County Meath.
He saiid: "While no doubt Minister Coughlan will give her usual response that this is somehow not her responsibility, and that the relevant authorities will assess the application on scientific and safety grounds, she, as the Minister with responsibility for the reputation and health of Irish farming, has a duty to intervene.
"If GM crops are grown here, they will inevitably contaminate traditional and organic crops. There is no doubt about that from research that has been conducted.
"Three years ago I placed a motion before Navan Town Council rejecting the idea of GM foods been produced in Ireland. Navan Town Council fully supported my motion.
"I call on the the farming and consumer organisations to resist attempts to grow GM food in Co. Meath. The introduction of GM here will benefit no-one other than the companies which are attempting to control the food system. There is no demand from Irish farmers for GM, and no evidence that it will benefit either them or Irish consumers."
Farmers and Peasants of Ireland do not be sucked into allowing Basf GMO's to grow in Ireland. This company was interlocked with Dow, Monsanto, and Dupont after the second world war, and derives from the Nazis I.G. Farban Monopoly of chemical warfare, along with Bayer, and Hoekest. These six companies have been waging a chemical warfare poisoning of the world, since that time to this. GMO' s from Monsanto are being contested and fined and thrown out by the peasant -farmers in India, Vietnam, China, Phillipines, Indonesia, Canada, U.S.A and etc throughout the world. In fact Monsanto was the leading monopoly providing agent orange in the chemical poison bombing of Indo-China where five million people were poisoned, and when the Vietamese recently took Monsanto to the Supreme Court of America the judges there found Monsanto not guilty, yet everyone knows that Monsanto did the majority chemical poison spraying in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. These companies are posing as agricultural experts to get monopoly rights over the farmers to take away the peasant-farmers rights to grow and plants their own seeds. That was proven in Canada and other countries , and their terminator seeds and other dominant seeds will take over all the designated food plants naturally grown in your area and then they will use the monopoly law to prove their seeds are better and dominant and the peasant-farmer, in law loses the right to grow their own seed. That is a freedom not worth losing. If Ireland still cares for freedom and has a spark to liberation they should throw the GMO's of Basf out and encourage the organic method of farming , for it is the natural way and best way to grow food and leave the soil with vitality for the comming generations. Viva social liberation.
