Wallace and Daly

Wallace and Daly tried to get the author barred from the European Parliament for asking them questions they'd rather not answer. Says it all about them. Anyone who voted for them last time out really needs to have a rethink.

You are aware that they have absolutely no power to get journalists banned from the EP? She's is entitled to ask any question she likes and they are equally entitled to ignore her, completely the right thing to do when dealing with a journalist who's only goal is to damage you.

Poor Naomi, she's spent ten months allegedly researching this and produced two pages of stuff that is already on the public record, the MEPs make no effort to conceal it and any newly registered undergrad student with access to lexisnexis through their library could produce the same stuff in a couple of hours. Embarrassing stuff from her really!

Isn't it just terrible that we don't have robust protections against such outrages such as reporting facts?

Journalists wouldn't get away with such violations of human rights in more civilised and developed societies like Russia. I know for a fact that all journalists over there know how to behave properly, and when one of them malfunctions and does something mean towards a politician, such is the feeling of shame and disgrace, that they usually shoot themselves in the head 4 or 5 times or have an accident and fall out of a window.

Any other irrelevant things ya'd like to rant about to try to distract? Osama Bin Laden maybe?

We're you not aware that Wallace stole his employees pension contributions? Or that he defrauded the revenue?

Or that both were convicted and served time in prison?

All this lady did was collate publicly available material. It was useful for her to do so as most of it appeared on foreign language media which Irish people would not read. I'm sure the pair (and yourself for some reason) would prefer for it to be hushed up, but unfortunately we have free press in this country.

I didn't defend anything, I clarified inaccurate statements and ridiculed the standard of journalism.

'Genocidal apologists' - care to go on record with your actual name with that Pearl of wisdom, c'mon brave man money where your mouth is?

Hushed up, they published it, podcast it, tweeted it FFS...What were they trying to hide FFS. Naomi is engaged in really disingenuous journalism and she knows it!

Jaysus. All these years I've said Daly, and later Wallace, were populist chancers ............ I never knew I was a shill for Nato. Should I have been getting paid? Would ya say it's too late to submit an invoice?

What was disingenuous about it (do you have examples, if you mean the article)? Did you even read it?

I thought it was good and useful to know that Russia and China find their public statements etc. very useful for their propaganda and deploy them to bolster it. That was the main point, I think.

The stuff about the "Golden Lion King" nick (ha) + the Chinese Little Pinkies online really liking Wallace was quite fascinating (edit: in a morbid kind of way). Every days a school day I suppose.
