For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Sex Sells. It Always Has. And the Ad Industry Has Finally Remembered That Sat Aug 02, 2025 19:18 | Lee Taylor
Sex sells, says Lee Taylor, and that is something many brands, caught up in the joyless theatre of modern virtue-signalling, could well stand to relearn.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11no offence, but what is this about? i cannot decipher it?
WTF is this about??
This stringing together of random words does nothing for me i must say
I am thinking of doing a series of cut and pastes around the Laffoy decision to release
Mister 'A'. She was bound by the existent legislation, which though well flagged to the
present Tanaiste and Minister for Justice , led to the notorious Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2006
*******************************************************************************************************
The transcript is of a speech by Mister Rabbitte, which repeatedly asked for a
copy of the new legislation that the parties were to debate on.
During the debate, for example, Ciaran Cuffe TD read a letter by the Ombudsman for Children
which asked for the excision of section 5.
Mr Howlin reffered to the section as an absurdity.
Joe Higgins was the only TD to vote against the Bill.
The drafting of the legislation as a'response' to a constitutional crisis by the present
Tanaiste / Minister for Justice, included within the body of the legislation
a section that was unconstitutional (section 5 is not gender neutral)
and indeed a return to putting the victims of rape on the stand.
The next speech is the view of the Fine Gael Party.
I also would like to examine closer the series of events which led to the Laffoy Judgement.
I know what you mean Chris, I cannot understand what that was all about. Mandatory Sentencing in statutory rape was proper order. It gave some protection to the young lolitas from the consequences of their provocative dress (non)sense.
If men and boys know that having sex with under age girls opens them up to automatic sentencing then they keep well clear. Don't tell me that 16 year olds can look like 20 year olds, I know they do. But are there not plenty of genuine 19+ girls/boys in the country without taking the risk. The new law is a farce and will not give our children any protection at all.
Around the time of the "judgement" I heard a conspiracy theory that I will share here.
22nd May 2006, RTE Prime Time special on terrible effects of abusive and incompetant solicitors.
One of the featured abusive solicitors was brother of Mary Robinson.
Mary Robinson is a longtime mate of Justice Adrian Hardiman.
Tuesday 23rd May, Justice Hardiman delivers the outlandish Supreme Court Judgement abolishing all legal protection for underage girls.
Result! Everyone forgot about the Prime Time special, abuses of solicitors and Mary Robinsons brother.
Look forward to your future pastes
..."If they were under 16, with other 16 year olds, under what I understand the Government
will come forward with today, it is providing for them to be sent to jail for five years , and if a sixteen year old girl gets pregnant, by another sixteen year old, which should not happen, she is liable to be sent to jail for five years.
The government cannot simply repeat in 2006 legislation which was for the conditions of 1935 and the government needs an immeadiate dialogue with young people and with their parents so an entire section of the young, whose mores are different to 1935 are not criminalised willy-nilly by legislation now being repeated. That is no way to dilute the urgency of protecting children and young adults from predatory adults"
Three things:
The stenographer was present and knows how to spell government.
Bertie was in New York and does not.
Joe Higgins was the only TD to vote against the bill.
So far: Labour object to section 5.
Higgins objects to the Bill in toto because it criminalises the young for sexual experimentation.
The Bill was purported to address the issue of statutory Rape.
Mr Howlin; " That is above and beyond the bizzare and absurd position that
girls will be criminally liable for foreplay, but not for sex. To put it bluntly
the incoherence behind the current proposals is demonstrated by pointing
to three conflicting propositions, each of which the government is seeking
to advance in this Bill.
I will give an example. I apologise for being so explicit, but it is necessary,
if two sixteen year olds engage in sexual intercourse, the boy is guilty
of a serious offence while the girl is guilty of nothing. If the girl performs oral
sex on the boy they are both guilty of a serious offence. If the boy performs
oral sex on the girl, then neither is guilty of any offence".
Ms O Mitchell. "this is great legislation"
*Mr Howlin; "Even more bizarrely, if attempted sex-
Mr O Donoghue" " The deputy should read the legislation"
Mr Howlin "The Minister, Deputy O Donoghue, should read the bill himself.
This is a fact. I know it is a surprise to him-
Mr Howlin" Even more bizarrely, if attempted sex takes place between two
sixteen year old, they are both guilty-
Mr Rabbitte "That is correct"
Mr Howlin "- of a serious crime, but if actual sex happens, they are not"
Mr Mc Dowell "not so-
Mr Howlin, "It appears that girls can only achieve innocence if they perform full sex.
I wish to raise another anomaly I have seen in the bill. If the defendent believes
a 14 year old is 15, it is a complete defence to a charge under section 2.
Since section 3 is limited to sexual acts with persons over 15, and he makes the case
that he thought the girl was 16, if he is believed by the jury, it is a complete defence
and he cannot be charged with any other offence, that he has committed a sexual
act with somebody between 15 and 16."
"our advice is that this outright discrimination will fail the test of constitutionality
and of compliance withthe European Convention of Human Rights."
These excerpts form part of Deputy Howlin's response to Minister Mc Dowell
on the Criminal Law(sexual offences) Bill2006.
The official (unexpurgated) Dail report for june 2nd 2006, is at
http://debates.oireachtas.ie
The reason why it is unconstitutional is this :On the basis of the case law of the European
Court of human rights in the Dudgeon and Norris cases, where the court regected
the idea that certain acts which were lawful for heterosexuals were unlawful for
homosexuals, a strong case can and will be made for the proposition that it is
illegal to provide an act which is lawful for a girl is unlawful for a boy.*

of particular interest is the section: Masturbation Christ's Gift to You- it is splendid
and I was taught it would make you go blind. It opens on anal sex too.(!)
"The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground"
-indicating how virgin maidens should receive anal sex- this is from the first page
of sexinchrist the piece is entitled; "Anal Sex in Accordance with God's Will"

"another suggestive scripture tells of a woman's pride in her valley.... read on, tis the
good book. George Bush would be proud of ya....
Pat Rabitt is as bad as the rest. Its easy to take the mouth full while in opposition. He might be in the next government and then people will see his hypocracy.
Try sticking to the guidelines Chris.
Cut and pastes. Posts that are publicly available elsewhere on the internet, or in the mainstream media. We do realise, however, that there can sometimes by a strong case for articles published elsewhere to be brought to the attention of IMC readers. In these cases, we ask contributors to write an original introduction to the article, highlighting its relevance to Irish indymedia readers and include a link to the article. Users can also choose post a short note and a link in the Media Updates link at the top of the newswire. In particular, articles that consist of an original introduction and contain several links to articles containing background information stand a good chance of being made into front-page features
This comment will self destruct in T-minus...
I presume its ok- to publish the Ombudsman for children's request for excision of section5,
given that we are the rather unprecedented position of having the Tanaiste (4% of the
vote) holding the Dail to ransom over 50,000 (donation, loan, bribe) whilst his department
has the worst record in the Department of Justice in the History of the State?
But thank you for leaving Mr Howlin's speech up. It's very funny.
