Built-in obsolescence or hitting the ground running?

 The question of whether the railways should operate diesel trains or electrify the locomotives is really a non-starter...it is thirty years ago and more since I laid down the basis of the National Development Plan. That document from my pen was entitled the Programme of Irish Socialists. I called for the extension of suburban electric rail to all the suburbs of Dublin,the electrification of inter-city railways and a light railway for Dublin and short-haul buses (the Nipper).

What now?

Firstly,electrify national railways.

Secondly,build the Western Road and Rail Orbital Route to open up the West.

Thirdly,things have moved on-it is time for a tramway for Cork City.

Full spectrum dominance and its outworkings

In its pursuit of total control of world affairs and the world economy,the Anglo-American alliance and the Coalition of the Willing have hoaxed millions and tens of millions of voters with games of puppets and competing puppets,a game of electoral chance..... Therefore,the wise old owl says, In the North,a well-attended Catholic church ,it attracts an Orange lodge bringing billy-boy bands in to disrupt civil peace because local Protestant businesses are losing trade to Catholic shopowners hand-over fist. That is the general rule. The loyalists have other means of offending while bending the knee to the Orange Order,so here goes for a study of other sectarian intermediaries between citizen and state. The IRA in Belfast in the 1990's? "Easy!Easy!Easy!"  The illusion of an IRA 'victory' in 1997 was brought on by idiots in Belfast Sinn Fein. They were anxious to make a name for themselves as Britain's nemesis. The appearance of a victory was inspired by publicists...

Emigration to England

On London building sites, soldiers are regularly drafted into the resident workforce to protect English craftsmen and builders from aggressive Irish labourers. It is these English thugs from Manchester,Newcastle and Liverpool who use skills learned at Pinewood Studios and Elstree Farm to rig accidents for Irish workers. If an Irishman emigrates to England,he will soon find out who his real friends are because the Englishman is a rough, ignorant, unmannerly individual wherever you meet him,a carbon copy of the Irish countryman whose identity he shaped by sending English soldiers and policemen to control his perennial fits of rebelliousness. The British Labour Party and women particularly the little Irish mother at home,NOT shits such as Catholic priests,Asians,the English working man,a born waster,gamblers in your family,Kerry contractors,the GAA,Galway labour agents,the Scots,British soldiers,police,North of England people or the blacks sent by the English to attack him and,least of al...

Oglaigh na Feirsde,ta beirim agam oraibhse!

 Cease and desist from your activities and nuisance clamour on the radio in Belfast 'Irish' what is known by Gaeilgeoiri as canaiocht,neither song nor verse! Give over your muddleheaded thinking and stop crawling through the streets after people. You are 'driving the whole country around the bend'. Some of your victims have turned to drink and drugs. You have heard the Hierarchy's pleas for peace and tolerance and respect for other creeds and nationalities until at least a decision is taken in the Dail with a two-thirds majority for a referendum on Irish Unity. In the meantime,the thinking man's money is on the police and Gardai breaking up fights and 'coming out on top of you'. Pay heed,pilgrims who take no interest in party politics! Tell the police what you know but only if you are sure of your facts and stop indulging people,voters,whose day is long past.  Vote!  I,for one, don't give a fiddler's f... how anyone votes,if they at least go to a...
