Do We Really Want a Digital Bill of Rights? Sat Aug 30, 2025 11:00 | Anonymous IT Reporter
A Digital Bill of Rights may sound appealing. But think about it for a moment. More poorly thought-through rights will just mean more vexatious, activist Lefty lawyers, says the Daily Sceptic's IT reporter.

The Court of Appeal's decision to keep Epping's migrant hotel open hinged in part on wanting to avoid violent protests. But in truth it's made civil disorder more likely, not less, says Dr David McGrogan.

During exam result season you'll have read headlines about what thickos the white working classes are. But this smear is based on the results of those on free school meals, i.e., the non-working classes, says Joanna Gray.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Bobby Sands, a great Republican in the tradition of Tone Pearse and Connelly, betrayed by weak easily bought Republicans, who like those before them have sold out at the merest hint of self gain.
I wonder if Ogra NUIG will get around to asking Bobby's sister Marcella to come and talk at the University? I'm sure she would be only too happy to oblige, and that she'd also be willing to tell those young republicans why the Sands family did not co-operate with the writing of Hearn's book (as he has claimed).
Celia S.
i was in ballyconnell ,Co Cavan at the 25 year hungerstrike commemeration in the slieve russell,denis ohearn was there as well as the relatives of most of the hunger strikers and this book, his book was welcomed by the sands family that night.
Would the so-called "Ógra Shinn Féin" have us believe that Bobby Sands died for organisations that proclaim themselves Republican while promoting the idea that Republicans join the British Police Force?
It seems to me that they're fooling noone but themselves.
Ógra Shinn Féin honouring Sands is much like George Bush honouring Fidel Castro.
Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing.
Real republicans.
Real republicans know.
They know what is right
They know they are right
They know others are wrong
They arnt afraid
They take no chances
They simply shout from the sideline
They shout abuse at those who struggle
They forward the real republican cause by demeaning those who work for it
They do not understand the term'constructive criticism'
They understand that to be consructive they might actually have to do something
that could get in the way of shouting down young people who want to do something
They dont understand we're on the same team, these real republicans
they bicker and argue and open pointless debates.
these real republicans are like fustrated athiest theologians, knit-picking and finding fault.
Constantly
I am glad I am a fake republican, it is tiring sometimes, but being a real republican must be exhausting, countless hours scrolling throught this site and other sites, mulling over great republican theological debates constanly, lying in bed unable to sleep thinking of ways to insult and demean republicans who seek to work for what they believe in, for their vision for their country, which strangely enough is the same as the vison for their country that the real republicans have.
I am glad I am a fake republican.
Sure isn't the whole Sinn Fein leadership a bunch of fake Republicans?
We'll make the decisions.
You'll do what you're told!
We'll commit to one thing, then change our mind to curry favour with the DUP.
You'll back us without question!
We'll brand others who want open debate as assassins.
You'll spread the lies.
Because lying is what we do best, especially to a gullible grass roots, who'll simply do as they're bid and believe those lies and make others believe those lies.
A 32 Socialist Republic is nothing more than a Great big Lie!
"Our revenge will be the laughter of our Children."
Bobby Sands sure said that NOT our revenge will be our children joining the British imperialist police in occupied Ireland!
There are more British troops in the north than in Iraq, and everyone here agrees that the war in Iraq is an occupation. Does SF and OSF also support the Iraqi people to join the occupying forces in Iraq in the name of ending "political policing" and in the name of moving forward for a united Iraq?
Funny how it wasnt that long ago SF used to say "RUC-SS Bully Boys" "Brits Out" and now only say "NO to Political Policing".
Sinn Fein used to say a lot of things, TC, but the DUP put an end to that. Now the Shinners are more worried about what the IMC has to say about them.
