Has Nintendo gone woke? That's the fear among gamers as the new Switch 2 is released. Maybe not, says Steven Tucker ? but the underlying code, with its 'inclusive language guidance', is another matter.

Attorney General Lord Hermer ? who was last week accused of likening ECHR-sceptics to Nazis ? seems to think 'Schmitt' is a polite way of saying 'Hitler'. He obviously has not read Schmitt, says Professor James Alexander.

Former Cllr. criticises political direction of Labour Party

category sligo | politics / elections | other press author Monday April 23, 2007 15:38author by kat - lp Report this post to the editors

The newly selected Green Party election candidate in Sligo-North Leitrim Brian Scanlon has accused the Labour Party of not being representative of the working class and the underprivileged anymore.

Mr Scanlon was a former member of the Labour Party, and served on Sligo County Council as a Labour councillor from 1999 to 2004.

He resigned from the Labour Party at the end of last year.

He says while he found it hard to do so, he became disillusioned with the political direction Labour were heading in.

Mr Scanlon says when he lost his seat on Sligo County Council three years ago, he always intended to return to politics.

He says the Green Party's policies are ones he can associate with

Why vote for the new right wing Labour party when you can vote for the real thing the Blueshirts,or better still vote for the Greens.

When are we going to hear the end of this clap-trap from the Scanlon/Bree camp? Brian Scanlon can attack labour all he wants it still won't get him elected or give hime the numbers for him to claim he damaged McGarry

This is without doubt the most absurd attempt at a smear campaign from one so thoroughly discredited. Nobody will vote for Cake. Why the hell would they?

On top of this, Bree is still in danger of looking like a fool. McGarry doesn't need to get elected. He doesn't need to play a blinder or even come close. All he has to do is outpoll Brees last outing and Bree will made a laughing stock of. That is what is at the bottom of this crusade against McGarry. This is not about political Ideology or even Left vs Right within the Labour Party. It is purely about ego. Declan Brees.

The Cake is green
The Rat is red
Im your old friend
back under the bed

The election is nigh
The die will be cast
The blues are all ready
to raise the gael mast

The orange is neutered
The shinners are white
Bertie is purple
Afraid of the light

Henry is smiling
will she ever be
Just like her dad
A dodgy TD ( Tax Dodger..)

Devins is yellow
Scanlon is grey
Will he be back
selling mince for his pay

Comminsky and Perry
lemon and lime
Thinking of Oduffy
and the best of time

Colours are lovely
colours are great
Watch out for a rainbow
on May the 28th

The cake is back,
He loves his Jack,
It wont be long,
Till he gets the sack.

Its true its true
He got the boot
But the rising greens
Dont give a hoot
