'Eco-anxiety' affects 78% of children under 12, a crisis that teachers say they are unable to cope with, new polling by Greenpeace has found. The solution? More ruthless exposure of children to alarmist material.

Elderly woman proves Fr Iggy Donovan wrong!

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday April 03, 2003 17:11author by thephysio - noneauthor email thephysio at medscape dot com Report this post to the editors

Fr Iggy was a bit Jesuitical

Fr Iggy Donovan, Pat Kenny, and Michael McDowell were singing from the same hymn sheet today, suggesting that the peace activists were responsible for last night's disturbance at the Dáil. Was this over-80-year old woman the ring-leader?

Hey guys, 83 year old Mrs Valentine Stokes, on RTE at lunchtime, told how she was effectively assaulted by uniformed Gardaí at the disturbance last night.

The radio interviewer tried to suggest that activists used her as a sort of buffer zone between them and the gardaí. What a lot of tosh. She was minding her own business (and that of babies in Iraq), and the young protesters came to her aid in a very nice protective move.

This woman should be a mascot for the peace movement. The indomitable spirit of the Irish Mammy, caring for children that aren't even hers, that are far away, but in terrible danger.

If you don't believe this, check out her interview on the RTE website in the lunchtime news today. Don't reply in a whiney voice until you've heard and seen what happened to her. I HATE whining!

And Michael McDowell, go check the video, as you said you would! I'm always nervous of self-described liberal democrats, like him.

And Iggy, try to be a bit less jesuitical. Pat, try to be a bit more journalistic, you know, as if you're not in the pocket of the (other) rich dudes.

Yeeeeuchh.

the advantage of tactical use of our older members of society.
This report reminds me of the gentleman also in his eighties who was arrested and two days ago recieved a fine for losing his biscuit at the offices of the PP [partido popular] the party led by Aznar which draws its upper echelons from the Franco-ist regime and thus may properly be termed a "·reconstructed Fascist Party·" so I shall go on terming it such even after Mr Aznar is an embarassing memory for the Spanish middle classes.

Old People of Ireland!

you remember the 1970s
you know that the little rascals of Fianna Fail waved tricolours idly and lined their pockets with the paltry profit of Ireland.
You know that Ahern has spent the majority of his political life in cabinet with men now proven to be cheats liars and thieves.

Old People do your thing!

It's great to see gardai battoning pensioners, smelly old has beens and also gardai wives too. Shut up Sheena Mc Mahon, learn to do your duty, get back in the kitchen and cook a decent dinner for your gardai husband.
