    Whats your opinion on Gemma shutting down peoples right to free speech while complaining about her own right to free speech?




    How does she shut down free speech ?

    We can't even blame the teachers for such astounding stupidity as this because thankfully people who post this thing are relatively rare.

    Of course she needs to be "dealt with" by the legal system for her harassment campaign against the business owners who were going to host Gemma.
    Have any of these business owners said she has been harassing them?

    Ask her a difficult question on her FB or Twitter account and you are instantly blocked. Gemma wants an echo chamber where only people who agree with her get to voice thier opinion.

    Blocking abusive comments on twitter is not the same as shutting down public meetings.

    No-one is bothering to answer the question why doesn't Gemma hold her meetings on the street?

    No no no, i said questions not abusive comments. Ask her (politely) a question that goes against her beliefs and you get

    A: Attacked by her supporters (called a troll, russian bot or my favourite... a Soros paid shill)

    B: Blocked by Gemma.

    What threats were made to business owners that decided not to put her on? I am actual threats. Not someone from Cork saying they're not going to have a pint in a pub in Sligo if they ever happen to be there.

    Eh, they are literally posting her address and photos of her house on a regular enough basis.

    Also in related news, Gemma regularly tries to silence her critics by making legal threats. They never go anywhere cause she hasn't a leg to stand on but she's done it to loads. So Gemma doesn't care about freedom of speech?

    Gemma does not support free speech for her opponents and she threatens and bullies anyone who disagrees with her

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    My wife saw Gemma up close and in action at a Repeal meeting last year, she spent most of her time delivering a vicious, spittle-flecked, incoherent rant against another of the speakers, Kitty Holland of the Irish Times.

    Gemma is a nasty piece of work.

    Seems Gemma has now totally flipped to the other end of that spectrum, more right-wing US cash in pretending to save the babieeees

    Like the time I asked if she knew what the President of Ireland could actually do. Blocked instantly for asking a question that if someone was serious about what they were running for, instead of using it as free publicity for her cult, would have answered, or at least not blocked the questioner.

    Threatens people with solicitors letters


    Shes entitled to do that under the label laws when people smear her good name,




    Makes threatening and harassing videos youtube videos saying people have to be dealt with
    The youtube video she made was more like an exposure of O' Leary and her gang.


    O'Leary has legitimate anti corruption meetting shut down then plays the victim when Gemma trys to fight back.




    Calls for boycott of venues
    Nothing illegal about that.


    If a business cancels at the last minute then I can see why she would want to boycott them.




    Blocks people on social media
    She blocks people who are trying to shut her down.


    Throws people out of public meetings
    She had trouble makers thrown out. The same thing would happen if you started trouble at a FG of FF meeting.

    Gemma does not support free speech for her opponents and she threatens and bullies anyone who disagrees with her
    I've never seen her threatening or bullying anyone.

    She hasn't ever been libeled which is the thing. This has resulted in her never actually suing anyone. She just tried to scare people...

    And let's be realistic, you just like her for her racist views...

    I don't even support Gemma.


    My main concern here is that she is being denied the right to hold public meetings by Anti Democratic Scumbags.



    You don't have to be a fan of Gemma to recognize that freedom of speech is under attack in this country by left wing Fascists.

    See that's nonsense, she doesn't right to any of the venues. Freedom of speech includes the right to object in a peaceful fashion. Gemma on the other hand tries to silence via legal threats and abuse. She tries to scare people.

    She also has had people physically removed from her own meetings for asking reasonable questions.

    Someone said last night that she was planning on having one on a beach. Hopefully it'll be on the shore line just before a rapid high tide as it would be funny to see who gets accused of interfering with the sea in order to shut her down.

    The story featured in the The Kilkenny Journal.

    THE DISGRACED PAEDOPHILE FOUNDER OF THE FAR LEFT GROUP ANTI-FASCIST IRELAND, PATRICK CORCORAN, KNOWN AS " PAT C.", LEAVING COURT AFTER HIS CONVICTION ON CHILD PORN CHARGES.
    This fellow had abused decent Irish patriotic people for years. And now the group he helped found in Ireland, AFA, that he brought over here from England, are attacking the meetings of the respectable law-abiding new Irish political party, Identity Ireland.
    This is the picture of your typical Irish leftie, a member of the so-called "liberal elite" in Ireland.
    Corcoran was also an editor on Indimedia.ie , the far left online media website where he slandered many decent people in the course of his duties there. He was a doyen of the Irish Left and set up a lot of their initiatives in Ireland such as the vengeful AFA gang. But since his fall his former colleagues are now openly discussing all his evil doings against a lot of people in Irish public life.
    In short "Pat C", as he was known, was a prime bastard in every way. And his legacy still lives on in AFA Ireland to this day.
    The Kilkenny Journal gets behind the scenes and brings you what's really going on, the facts about the movers, the truth about the shakers, and their putred skeletons in their cupboards. This is a very evil man, the groups he founded and was an activist in, like AFA Ireland, are still out there carrying out his evil.
    In fact they have called a meeting for the clock tower on the Quay in Waterford City for this Saturday at 1.30 p.m. to go and disrupt a protest by the new party Identity Ireland led by that decent Irishman , the Kilkenny Dail candidate Peter O'Loughlin.
    Maybe the people of Waterford will turn out and show what they think of AFA Ireland and their paedophile founder pictured here.
    WHERE IS HE NOW?
    He wasn't at the Waterford meetings today although he is still a leader of the Leftist AFA Ireland. It has to be said that between him and the abuse of women by Sinn Fein it's a very poor lookout for the Left in Ireland right now. There are some very sick socialists around these days, Connolly would turn in his grave.

    Seanad Record - David Norris 1988


    I have not had the opportunity to acquaint the Minister directly with all of this information but I would like to read for the information of the House and the Minister, a piece of literature recently received by me. It is headed "National Socialist Party: Smash AIDS Blitzkrieg":

    In Ireland, AIDS is being spread amongst all normal people by the Gay AIDS spreaders and the Junkies. The Government is afraid to tell you the truth. Thousands in Ireland are infected — hundreds of AIDS deaths have been covered up and the number dying will double every six months.

    Thanks to Queers, Junkies and Negroes visiting here, all of you are now at risk from the AIDS Black Death, right down to the pregnant women ... and a baby can be born with AIDS!!! Horrific. AIDS is as deadly as nuclear radiation. Help us in the National Socialist Party to break the conspiracy of silence among the knee-jerk liberals in Government. Join us. Act Now. Only we will tell you the truth. Only we will save you and your family from this Scourge of God.

    Our "Smash AIDS Blitzkrieg" proposes: 1. Enforce the Law — ten years for homosexuals; 2. Enforce stringent AIDS-testing on all immigrants; 3. Intern all junkies, pushers etc., as Enemies of the People; 4. Daily testing of the Blood Bank for the AIDS virus; 5. Suspect Discos, Gay Bars, clubs, etc., to be burned down; 6. Execution of deliberate AIDS spreaders.

    We were (and are) the first to commence a smash AIDS blitz. We will shortly issue a Guide on AIDS — the Real truth, not politicians' lies! We will tell you how to protect yourself, family, friends. For this, the National Socialist Party requires volunteers, funds, help!

    Contact immediately — most urgent — SAE to:

    Michael J. McGrath, Chief Lieutenant, National Socialist Party, Kilkenny City

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
