The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

sunday papers

category international | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Sunday July 18, 2004 18:16author by -guess. Report this post to the editors

ha ha! you thought we had gone away.

in this weeks issue-
Progressive Democrats why the fuck is a party that changed the constitution and garnered praise from the main leadership of the extreme right on three continents doing in power?
Ahern, why the fuck does he think, that Summer time is the time to prepare humble pie Celtic Tiger whilst his neoNazi sidekick Mc Dowell seeks Gardaí of vocational worth.

Haiti. what the fuck are the Guardia Civil (of Franco's invention) doing in Haiti the land of Toussaint L'ouverture (at Zapatero's order)?

Oh there's more.

The Ardoyne. My short and blunt sunday paper opinion is- Ireland the cultural entity has talked too much Temple Bar and too little Ardoyne since I left. sorry.

Forum 2004 Barcelona has been invaded by Sea, Land and Air this very hot day. I'm a merrovinginvanjan of dubious vampyre stock, and so can't go out in the Sun for long. I can't regale you therefore with an eye witness account of the rafts that made the journey.

Aznar. the fucker is in Colombia and really seriously kicking in his "i'm an improved Thatcher I speak español" role. He has not gone away either.

Bush is a fucking muppet.

There are not many Irish companies who have Managing Directors who call for the cancellation of external debt in the states where they do business. One such company saw its lawful business venture in Iraq slowed down by the absence of the then lawful ruler Sadam's signature on their contract. Then the fucking muppet bombed the place. I suggest, fuckity fuckity me, that the past present and future of this company ought be of considerable interest to the Irish people since it's like "flying your flag".

other things-
who the fuck told Pat Cox the Catalans were terrorists in January 2004?
who the fuck told Aznar (to tell the world) there were WMD in February 2003?
who the fuck told Blair there were WMD?
who the fuck said it was ETA?
Who the fuck would say it "in your little scrawny neck of the woods" it was the mad IRA, or et cetera. In times past, when my forebears were still working up to the vampyre skin, you were lied to systematically by "Cads". now they're just fuckers.
