Don?t Panic Mr Monkeypox! Social Distancing Returns Due to New Viral Panic Tue May 17, 2022 16:53 | Toby Young
At least one medical practice in West London has reintroduced social distancing to reduce the risk of patients contracting Monkeypox. This, in spite of the fact that there are only nine cases so far in the U.K.

Are All Britain?s Current Woes Traceable to a Group of Entitled ?Tory Toffs? at Oxford in the 1980s? Tue May 17, 2022 13:00 | Toby Young
Simon Kuper's book about how a small group of 'Tory Toffs' who were at Oxford in the 1980s masterminded the Brexit project to reclaim their aristocratic birthright is highly entertaining, but not convincing.

Forget Science ? Climate Now Has a Central Role in The Culture Wars Tue May 17, 2022 11:26 | Chris Morrison
You might think that if you debunk patently silly extreme weather claims, the entire fear agenda will go away. Think again. Climate change is now firmly embedded in the culture wars surrounding race, identity and gender.

Would the U.S. Side With Ukraine?s Far-Right Against Zelensky? Tue May 17, 2022 10:10 | Noah Carl
Why didn't the US back Zelensky? The New York Times wrote earlier this year that his government could be overthrown by far-right groups if he ?agrees to a peace deal that in their minds gives too much to Moscow?.

I have my doubts as to whether 'a proper legal team' would shift the odds sufficiently to give Niall Harnett a better chance of justice; a more proper, truly impartial legal system may be what's needed. Best wishes to Niall & all campaigners for justice.
NIALL HARTNETT : ENVIRONMENTALIST AND HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST, CASTLREA PRISON IRELAND.
If Niall has not had an opportunity in prison to access case law on bail; eg the Ryan and O' Callaghan judgements, he should put it to the court as an opening statement that he has a fundamental right to represent himself, but that he has been denied "Equality of Arms" whereby a person shall not, "in judicial proceedings, be placed at a disadvantage visa vi his opponent."
If Niall is unable to access that case law to defend himself he is in a straightforward Inequality of Arms situation before the High Court, which is an instant violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The biggest weakness and problem for Niall is the burying of his story by the media. If the judge at the bail hearing is a certain person who is a 'vacation judge' he will look for any bolthole to refuse Niall bail.
He might baulk at that if there was some mainstream press there but I do'nt know if any word was put out to them.
Nothing is proven against you Niall and you have a clear right to bail.
Very best to you Niall. J K.
I hope that there is someone in our judiciary that has a conscience and a true appreciation of what is going on here. If there is, it is their patriotic duty to speak out and stop the corruption of the legal system in Ireland . It will take courage of course as they will have to stand against their political paymasters.
There has been so many lies told by the government and the Gardai about the protesters that people without direct truthfull information may have formed false ideas,due to their belief that the Gardai never lie.
I would ask any person with doubts about the Corrib debacle
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR HOUSE AND PROPERTY WAS MADE WORTHLESS AND YOUR FAMILIES LIFE PUT AT RISK TO ENABLE A FORIEGN MULTINATIONAL COMPANY AND CERTAIN POLITICIANS TO MAKE PROFIT AT YOUR EXPENSE?
Niall and Maura are well aware of what they are up against and are an example courage and honesty, something that the Irish people would do well to support.
STOP THE CORRUPTION VOTE NO TO LISBON 2.
Just want to wish Niall and Carol and the campers all the best for tomorrow. Hopefully he'll get a conscientious judge that will make an effort to understand Niall's position.
Niall Harnett, hopefully back at the camp soon, where he belongs.
Here's wishing Niall all the best in High Court Appeal on August 17th 2009. Hopefully the Judge whether he be a vacation judge or otherwise sees the light and in doing so allows Justice to prevail. There's good advice in James Kelly's post of August 14th 2009 re/ "Equality of Arms" and the two precedent judgments.
It may help you to know that an effort has been made to try to ensure that all of our elected representatives in Dail Eireann are aware of your present circumstances, and the general situation surrounding them.

Would someone please post outcome of H. Ct., Appeal
He accepted the bail conditions and is out.
"Not many people know that there is an elite within the justice system that have an immunity to prosecution. That extends a little further until the point that hangers on, like dogs of war, who serve their masters well also share the spoils."
For more information on this situation please see at:

There are all protected under the transitory provisions which are excluded from the Constitution ( under their own terms) for any one to see.
Check Govt.of Ireland Act 1920 for clarification regarding his protection.
what was the point of going to gaol to protest against the bail conditions if he then accepted them to get out?
This Act seems to have been repealed in its entirety under the terms of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, after the Good Friday Agreement?
In the Republic of Ireland it seems the Statute Law Revision Act 2007 repealed the Act some 70 years after the Constitution of Ireland replaced the Constitution of the Irish Free State in 1937.
More on this subject can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_Ireland_Act_1920
Niall and all those who supported him in his release from Castlerea prison. Well done.
Best wishes

Quotation selected by me:
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right'.
Mahatma Gandhi, 1931
Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 - 1948)
I add.....if only the Government could review their decision about our natural resources and the deal that was negotiated in the 1970's when times were more economically strained. These are the natural resources our forefathers fought for and we do not need to exchange colonial masters for corporate masters. There is a case that may have some reference but I don't have the necessary acumen to comprehend it. It is Comyn v. the State 1950. The lead counsel for Comyn against the State was Sean McBride - the State lost the case. It concerned phosphate mines in Clare and phosphate was needed in Ireland during World War II when imports from North Africa could not enter our ports.......
Agree with last comment. Fair play to you for taking the stand. But use every thing at your disposal
