Brexit .Revenge for Skibeereen.

I  have no regard for the main political parties in this half country.With a few honourable exceptions they are part of an international murder machine and totally under Satan's wing.I  talk of the murder of our living unborn babies.
Having said that I  must congratulate all the Political Parties ,their combined leadership and the written and unwritten media and all the journalists who have contrived successfully to humiliate our neighbours in the U.K. over the nerve of their citizens to leave the E.U.
We have the bastards on their knees and tearing out each others throats,too good for them and about time too,
What all the Irish uprisings and the varied constitutional crusades failed to do.i.e.Revenge for all those centuries of oppression has been achieved in spades
We now have a situation where our radio and television commentators can call all the Brexiteers "liars"all of the time ,particularly Matt Cooper ,working for Sir Richard ,who repeatedly uses this appellation in relation to Boris Johnson.
Revenge in spades for caricaturing the Irish as Apes in the cartoons of the last century.

How sweet he must feel every time he opens his mouth and that is fairly often.
Let us not beat around the bush here.
The backstop was invented by our politicos to stymie the wishes of the British electorate.
We have been squealing about the sanctity of the Good Friday Agreement and the damage a solid border would do to that.Agreement.
Let us get to the essence of the AGREEMENT.
Essentially the Provos fought off the British Army,the British Police,the B SPECIALS,the Loyalists  and the Irish Army,Irish police and the judicial system ,fully aided by the Irish politicos of all denominations who  helped the Brits all they could.
When the war became deadlocked the protagonists set down their arms and the Good Friday  emerged.
Gerry Adams and Martin Mc Guinness persuaded the Prove fighters to decommission all their arms and this process was overseen by an international committee who oversaw the destruction of all the arms.
With all these ex fighters well into pension age and all the guns decommissioned ,just who is going to do all this fighting and resurrect the war  .
Certainly there are a small number within whose hearts the notion of a united Ireland remains strong,
but they are insignificant in numbers and effectiveness.
Unless King Leo brings a picture of an assault to the border.
The last true Irish patriot ,sharing a foreign parent was Dev., who had a Spanish father and who is and was ,in my opinion, the one and only true statesman that this Country has ever produced..
But even he ,brave fighter as he was,could not knock a chink in the United Kingdom   set up.
But Leo,with Simon as back up and Mickeen Martin in close support , have come up with the notion of the backstop ,gotten the total support of the 27 E.U. AStates and reduced the U.K.to a bunch of blithering idiots ,pitching Parliament against the people and the  Judiciary against the Government.
They have turned brother against  brother and sister against brother  and with the bitter and resentful Scots hovering on the sidelines spraying hatred and bile at every opportunity have created the opportunity to splinter the Kingdom.
Yes indeed our Politicos are playing a blinder and are giving it to the Brits up the arse.
Take a bow ,lads and lassies.
That the States of Europe are ganging up on the Brits and hungry for its destruction is no surprise.
The AXIS powers of Germany .Italy ,Romania were stymied by the Brits and without the intervention of the U.K we would now have a German Europe.This too is their revenge.
The remainder of the E.U.States either rolled out the red carpet to Hitler ,or like the French,didn't put up enough fight to burst a paper bag.
The descendants of   those Brits whose ancestors gave their lives to ensure freedom in Europe  and enabled the setting of the E.U.itself ,must be totally humiliated by how soon the peoples who they fought and died for in droves ,have chosen to now shite on them from on high.
Some of these Luxembourg mouthpieces  who take joy in humiliating the Brits are particularly short in memory .I  cannot remember even one fighter from this country.
A I said at the start All the politicians of this half country are well entitled to rub their hands in joy at the destruction and humiliation they have heaped on the U.k.
Now is our chance to keep them down for the next thousand years.
By the way I  don't believe any of this stuff and I  think Leo et all better pull their horns in before they put us in the shit entirely.
I have loads of solutions but a probable runner would be to turn the entire Island into a Duty Free Zone..

Dunderry v Donaghmore/Ashbourne IHC 30/8/2019

This match was played on a grand summers evening in Ratho.
To stay in contention we had to win it,not a foregone conclusion as our form to date was patchy,to say the least.
I  had recently been at Ratho on the way back from Croker,as part of a tour paid for by the GAA for auld Gaels like myself deemed worthy enough to get the treat of the visit.
We were made more than welcome then.

The match was referred by one of the Donoghues from Kiltale.This man and his other siblings have swung the caman at the highest level at both Club and County level ,so they well know what is within the rules and what is not.
And so it went.
He was fair and consistent.
We lined out as follows:-

                                                          Mickey Dowdall.

Fitzie                                                  Feeney                                                   Wright

Bunny                                                 Peanut                                                    Fear na Gcaorach
                                            O laoghaire                      Geordie

Timber Og                                         Lukie                                                     O Seaghda

Alex                                                   Bomber                                                 Timber oG A Do.

There is a footpath about 6 inches up from the surrounding ground and maybe 6 feet across to the fence surrounding the pitch.I  parked at the edge of this path ,with the front of my car facing the pitch.I  used the bonnet of the car to rest my jotter so that I  could annote the various happenings.
We started well with  Bomber shaking the onion bag with a class goal,much to his father's and George's delight.The lead was short lived as nearly immediately afterwards they did the same on us..
They have some fine players
But the returning Lukie was easing into gear and scored a brace of points with ease.They pulled one back.It was shaping up for a good contest.
Then Alex was felled in a tackle and went down for treatment just in front of where I  was standing.A group of about 6 male Donaghmore supporters were standing  beside me and one,at least of that group started to sneer and jeer at Alex ,implying he was faking it.
Alex is a bundle of courage and does not do this sort of stuff.
I  have played hundreds of hurling matches in two counties in my lifetime and the only time I  have heard such knavish and cowardly behaviour was in Ratho that evening.I  made my feelings known to this mob,to little avail.
I don't know them but do know full well that those who involved themselves in this behaviour  know as little about hurling and the ethos of the GAA as my asshole knows about shooting snipe.
The nearest I  have seen in Meath to such behaviour was when I  saw a supposed fully mature Gael sneer at a school boy as he was about to take a sideline puck from about two yards distance.
In quick succession ,Geordie,Donnagh,Jamie and O  Shea split the posts from play,
Jamie then pointed well a long distance free before they pulled back a point.
Bomber took a brace of points ,driving his auld lad into ecstasy .Jamie took a long range free and not to be outdone by Bomber Lukie reeled of two minors from play.Jamie pointed another free and Alex gave the best possible answer to his critics by landing a great goal.
They pulled back a point from play to leave the half time score 2-13 to 1-3 in our favour.
The scoreline flattered us somewhat as Donaghmore had some fine players but not enough.
Lukie and Bomber score the first and second points of the second half before they scored a minor.
They had well shot their bolt and we rattled of score after score via-
Luki 0-1
Peabut 0-1
Lukie1-1
Jamie 0-1
Adam Kelly 0-1
Jamie 0-3.
The final score was Dunderry 3-22.Donaghmore 2-5.
Towards the end of the match one of the Donaghmore forwards went around the pitch ,behind the Referees back, swinging his hurley at every Dunderry player he encountered ,trying to provoke a fight in my opinion.
Anybody my side of the pitch could see it and were stunned.
I

Rural Ireland on its belly.

I came to live in Dunderry in 1986.It was thriving then.The two pubs were flying as was the local shop.
The local GAA Club was going well.There were myriad small businesses around the place giving reasonable employment.
Above in Robinstown there was a thriving pub ,a Post Office and a grocery shop.
Now ,in deference to the many businesses that ceased to exist since then,I  will not name them.
Any person who lived through those  times will be able to list the disappeared businesses.And the disappeared people.They are all over the globe.
There is no pub in Robinstown now.There is no Post Office in Robinstown now.There is no shop in Robinstown now.There is no shop in Kilbride now.
Those people who chose to stay and hold their ground have been and are being relentlessly pursued by Banks who destroyed the economy by loaning excessive amounts to people who couldn't afford the repayments,by State authorities who drive them to suicide and worse in pursuit of taxes they cannot pay and by an uncaring Social Welfare which places them on levels of subsistence that wouldn't sustain a mangy cat.
In 1986 the wisdom was that a yard of a publican's counter was worth a hundred acres of land.
The pubs of rural Ireland are fucked now and those trying to keep them going are modern day heroes.
Drink driving laws enacted by a self righteous elite who have at their fingertips severely subsidized transport options have pontificated from their perches on what the yokels in the country cannot  do.
In Dunderry there is not,nor has never been any form of public transport.
Gardai who used hide in the ditches to catch the guys brave enough to drive on unlit roads to get home with a few on board have now resumed their former activities,now that those of their members who forged  2 million non existent breathalyser tests have time on their hands..
The pubs are deserted most nights as people are terrified to go out.
Of course when you are robbed the culprits are never found.
I  used have a good regard for the medical profession .They stood way above us mere mortals in their unending self righteousness so you would have some regard when the vehemently deplored smoking.
Now some of their members  are murdering the living unborn.
Personally I  would rather take a chance on smoking than being killed before I  had chance to draw even one  breath
In the full knowledge that Hitlers Death Camps were manned and wommaned by doctors,who by a flick of their wrists decided on instant death by  gassing or more prolonged death by starvation,brutality or torture,the penny has eventually dropped about elements of this profession.
Even today Irish medics will not testify about negligence of their colleagues and claimants have to either go abroad for expert witnesses  ,the expense of which is prohibitive for ordinary litigants.
Now ,if you want to register with a new doctor there is a severe waiting list.People are dying and will die as a result.
If you want to build a house there are so many levies and rules to be surmounted that you would lose the will to live before permission came through.
Before the Famine of 1845 8 million people subsisted here Are there 6 million now.
How come with all these advances in technology and so forth that we cannot house all our people and that over 10,000 are homeless.In the countryside thousands are having their homes repossessed,but they are utterly helpless to help themselves.
The most prolific businesses in rural Ireland is farming.
Small beef farmers,and by this I  mean farmers with under 50 acres who either farm suckler cows or dry stock are losing money hand over fist for decades and have been subsidizing the losses by holding down off farm incomes.
They art regulated in their farming activities up to their oxters by both E.U.AND Irish regulations AND LAWS and live in a state of constant fear of the Dept.of Agriculture,who have the powers to put them under by cutting off their subsidies and bankrupting them in effect.
Banks are of no help whatsoever and the State bodies do all in their power to put them out of business.
Rural farmers are living hand to mouth.
Every employee in this State has the right to strike for an increase in their wages and the State imposes minimum wage limits on all employers
Farmers and other self employed  under competition law have no right to unite  to get a higher price.
This is a load of bollix and a reason why we ought take a leaf from the book of the Brits and tell the EU where to stuff it.
What are farmers supposed to do?
Leave the Thistles,Docks and Bonan Buis take over their fields,as they have the roadsides.
Our ancestors gave their lives for these fields and we are not going to let them slip from our hands in  order to provide  cheap food for Europe and destroy ourselves by working for slave returns.
An old guy I know said that if you had a son or daughter you hated you should give him a 40 acre farm on condition that he farmed it exclusively and rear a  family on it.
Guaranteed to drive him or her to suicide.
Goodman was saved by the then Government by the enactment into law of the Examinership legislation.
He was and is a financial heavyweight.
Farmers and their families are on their knees and at their wits ends.
They are expected to rollover and wither and die.
The Government,the Beef processors ,the Courts and the judges speak uno voce in humiliating and putting down those decent farmer protesters whose identity they can establish in every way their law allows.
This is no wonder as they are all loaded and share a commonality of origin,with a huge crossover between the political and judicial and legal systems.
The existing farmer organizations are so far up the holes of the Establishment that they have long ceased to represent the interest of the small guys.
This is why they have been cast aside and this is why the ordinary decent farmers will nor  back down .
Their backs are to the wall.This is their last stand and actually the last stand of all of rural Ireland.
Support them and yourselves O  ye of the land.
