Why Are We Importing the Democrats? ?Sanctuary Cities?? Wed Jun 25, 2025 07:00 | Charlotte Gill
Join the dots, follow the money. Sadiq Khan is Co-Chair of C40 Cities. Mike Bloomberg is President of the Board, and also UN climate envoy. The UN partners with C40 Cities. It's all making sense, says Charlotte Gill.

The Kabuki Theatre of Trump?s Ceasefire Tue Jun 24, 2025 15:16 | Tilak Doshi
Trump had to appear to have imposed a ceasefire. Israel had to respond to Iran's breach. Iran had to save face. The events of the last 24 hours resemble a kabuki theatre of carefully choreographed roles, says Tilak Doshi.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3I presume no labour public reps will be criticising cllr. Boyle for his remarks, they'll be afraid they might meet the same fate as Declan Bree.....
Nothing new i'm afraid as a motion was put before Balbriggan town council earlier in the year calling for deportations of unaccompanied children back to their country of origin. All Labour town councillors supported the motion. The chair of the council was labour and defended the motion as "not racist".
Quite a statement when 3 other councils across the country said it was.
First labour HQ knew about this was when i e-mailed them about it in June, still waiting for a response on what action they took (if any).
This is disgraceful, but not surprising in the slightest, and merely reflects a deep seated parochialism/prejudice in the townships more generally. Many local councillors do, afterall, spout what the voters in their local pub whinge about, regardless of party.
And where this instance is with regard to a German couple, you can only begin to imagine the prejudice boyle-ing (!) in the wee little townships littered across the county (not to mention their next-door neighbours and this island more generally) where non-Europeans are concerned.
Cheers LabourWatcher for the post, not with regard to Labour, but highlighting the deep-seated 'We don't like your type around here' mentality that is so widespread on the Island of 1000 welcomes. Slainte!
