    Looks like Mayo's Greatest Love Machine has made the front of the Connaught Telegraph.

    continued on page 2 also ... quite a celeb.

    Has Joe parted ways with 'the project' over the photogate scandal?

    It seems like he will have to fight this battle without his I-I badge and membership card.

    What's photogate? I don't keep tabs much on Dr. Not and his crew.

    I'm not too interested in them either, but did have a bit of a snigger at how just like all these mad parties and gangs they self implode - usually due to a couple of individuals who show their true colours and go on solo runs to suit their own ambitions

    Dr Integrity filed his papers to stand for election, to do so he had to meet with the register (Finbar?) that he has been at war with.
    Rather than doing it quietly he organised/allowed a big posed photo where they both smiled beamingly.

    Some of his supporters got antsy with this, lots of stuff thrown around on facebook sadly all deleted now. His longtime hombre Garie Beattie in particular had a right pop at him and Joe Doocey appeared to take the latters side - they also seemed to have Paul Collins (who Manning had a 57 page diatribe about last year, + multiple court libel cases against) trying to join in with them.

    Check again. Manning did not and has not any cases against Paul Collins. Apparently he is afraid of what might come out in court.
    Also, rumour has it that Doocey, Beattie and others are now trying to force out manning and take over I.I.

    I saw word on FB today that an anti water protestors who last year was arrested in Swords for kneeing a garda in the groin, Anna Harvey, was found guilty in her absence at Swords district court.

    At the hearing, solicitor Fiona D'Arcy for the accused stated to Justice Dempsey that the accused wasn't present as she "does not recognise this court" :)


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 10,563 Mod ✭✭✭✭Robbo


    Remember the PSNI officer who tried to arrest the judge that granted a possession order against him? 3 months in chokey.

    Not 100% but I think he may have been taking counsel from one of out favourite pseudo-lawyers now or in the past.

    must be the same Anna Harvey who wrote this article for the freeman / DDI propaganda fairsociety.ie 'news' site

    http://www.fairsociety.ie/category/law/page/4/

    all sorts of quackery and mentalism in her article ...

    Can't wait for the Garda/Private Security/UK -British Army/UK Police to serve her with her bench warrant, which she doubtlessly won't recognise either. Expect much buffoonery from this episode in coming weeks :)

    Somone posted pictures of Ben Gilroys election material on Reddit.... oh dear.

    You'd have to question his mental state looking at that.

    just proves the guy is a total wacko.

    I know people who got that through the door and who are very anti government at the moment and are disgusted by it. Gilroy tried to appeal to the lowest of the low. The type of degenerate who never votes, couldn't give a sh1te once the social keeps putting beer vouchers in their ass pocket. This demographic never usually votes so Gilroy rather than trying to win votes from actual politicians just wants to corner the market of fools.

    He wasn't very impressive.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,416 ✭✭✭✭ArmaniJeanss


    He wasn't very impressive.

    Really tough to stand out amongst so many but from what I saw he was fine - he was calm, articulate, had a decent educated vocabulary, concise with his points, looked and dressed fine.

    That's possibly what makes him so insidious, superficially he's a reasonable guy who talks a degree of sense, and its only when you delve a bit deeper that you see the truth. Whereas with most of the freemen and suchlike its obvious after about 5 seconds what they are.

    But what did he actually say? Nothing!

    That's the nature of a ~13 way debate with audience participation, a presenter who loves his own voice, and lots of ads, Manning was one of many who didn't get much air time despite the 2 hour running time (I think it was 70 mins in before I heard the Asian guy speak).

    A positive for me was Manning agreed with the idea of a referendum for repeal of the 8th, if I was a Mayo voter that would at least get him a preference from me ahead of the many undemocratic misogynists on the panel who opposed even the holding of such a referendum.

    Also fascinating how many people here seemed to have signed up just to comment on Manning issues by the way.

    Rare you get to see behind the curtain at the paperwork that Freemen are producing but the Hub recently did a large textdump of their boilerplate pseudo-legal affidavits. As ever, "their word is not gospel", which is a rather kind way of describing it. Repeatedly discredited woo would be more accurate.

    There's a lot in there to dismantle it line by line but I'm surprised they haven't included averments along the lines of "The plaintiff issued these proceedings on so-called paper but failed to demonstrate that it came from a tree". All of their technical arguments on the swearing of affidavits (time, place, residence of deponent) have all been unsuccessfully raised before, by Gilroy and others.

    They're also complaining that they need more of a marketing budget because Facebook are asking for a higher rate to promote their claptrap.

    My favourite moment of the election so far. Gerry O'Boyle is an anti eviction campaigner running in Mayo. Tesco Castlebar offers free parking for customers for 1.5 hours. Boyler posted on facebook that he was not allowed park in Tesco's carpark for his canvass as the car park manager is a Fine Gael supporter!! The dogs on the street know that you may get fined for parking over 1.5 hours. Even better, there's a county council car park next door to Tesco.....but then I suppose the parking isn't free there :D

    Right2Homes have declared that they will (for a fee of course) build modular homes for local authorities. Lest we forget, the organisation was set up as a way of crowdfunding the legal bills of Tom "Grecian 2000" D'arcy so that he can stay in his swanky Kinsealy/Malahide mansion and shirk some of his €18 million in debt.

    Of course the organisation is a "not-for-profit" and the proposal will be done on such a basis. They might want to inform the Revenue Commissioners as they don't appear to have any record of them being a registered charity. The same is true of the Charities Regulator.

    Right2Homes was incorporate as a company limited by guarantee on 9/11/2015 and it's directors are Brian Reilly, Tom D'arcy and Austin Byrne.
