The Fightback Against Politicised Art Has Begun Wed Oct 08, 2025 15:27 | Ferro
The public's indifference to art has never been greater. No wonder, says Ferro: it's all just tired Left-progressive politics by another means. But the fightback for real art that moves the human soul has begun.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Surely a Judge should not be allowed to make judgements or form opinions, by taking into account ones occupation.
Today, in the Cork Circuit Court, judge Sean O Donnabhain reversed his ruling made yesterday, jailing a Garda for 3 years for beating Stephen Gerard Murphy half to death.
Garda, Dean Foley, was not sent to jail because he was a guard, and it was feared that he may be attacked in jail because he was a Garda. Why could'nt this Guard be isolated in prison ?
Isnt this just fantastic, all the other Garda now in the country, can beat a person half to death, knowing that they will not be sent to jail. (only be sure to get judge Sean O Donnabhain as the judge).
If an "ordinary" member of the community commited such a crime, this judge, so called, would show no mercy, and commit that person to prison straight away.
This is how justice is done in Ireland, it all depends on who you are, (according to this knowledgeable judge) !
"Surely a Judge should not be allowed to make judgements or form opinions, by taking into account ones occupation."
"This is how justice is done in Ireland, it all depends on who you are,"
Amazing, absolutely amazing. You both lament that his occupation is brought into consideration but yet his occupation is exactly why it was GSOC who inverstigated this matter.
Can none of you see the idiocy of your views when its exactly the likes of you that demanded special treatment in the beginning
Christ on a bike your a narrow minded bunch of people.
How do you feel about his decision on Foley? Are we being narrow-minded there as well?
Clearly, a precedent has now been set.
Every Garda in the country, can now beat a person up, and know they will not go to jail for it.
more signal than precedent. Stay quiet, the dogs are licenced. This has always been policy for the poorer sectors, it only shocks the sheltered. A warning to middle classes, stay in line. None of that solidarity shit round here. Accept your crumbs, while we pretend to fix it.
