The Cheap Talk of Emmanuel Macron Thu Mar 06, 2025 12:37 | Noah Carl
Macron claims that Russia is an ?existential threat? to Europe. Yet his actions belie this. France has given Ukraine 12 times less aid than Denmark. And it's still importing billions of euros of Russian energy.

The Gaping Holes in the BBC?s ?Boiling Spring? Story Thu Mar 06, 2025 09:00 | Chris Morrison
The BBC has run a story claiming UK spring temperatures are up 1.8?C. It's alarmist agitprop straight from a Green Blob press release and it doesn't check out when you look at the facts, says Chris Morrison.

Why Are We Funding Arts Council England?s Woke Nonsense? Thu Mar 06, 2025 07:00 | Charlotte Gill
The Javaad Alipoor Company is a theatre company with a woke "nine-point manifesto that drives everything we do". Inevitably, the Arts Council is stuffing it with taxpayers' cash. Why do we fund this crap?

google comes up with nothing
http://www.google.com/search?q=Habebamus%20diabolam
google is my god.
"habebamus diabolum" (we had a devil) or "Habemus diabolum" (we have a devil)
According to the received orthodoxy of the Oxford Latin Dictionary there isn't a word "diabolam", only "diabolum" (from "diabolus"). An "am" ending makes it a first declension noun, which is usually (though not always) feminine.
A weird posting..brings to mind the popular Bush T-Shirt "A Village in Texas is missing an Idiot!". But in these series of posting over the last couple of years, one increasingly suspects that village is in Galway.
The MENTION of fellow travellers, when the photo only depicts one. Are you counting the photographer here...as in twos company, three a crowd?
The TITLE - who are you trying to convince Tommy us or you? Mary left activism over two years ago into the courts, she has now got a six year good behavior bond that she doesn't look like breaking and like many a defeated activist before her finds refuge on the lecture circuit.
The SYMBOLS and VISUALS you choose are idiotic....the use of an armed struggle republican threat, the use of the axe threatening decapitation, getting the Latin wrong are idotic and understandably don't sit well with the peace movement..
By trying to add to the Mary Kelly myth you diminish it. Keep its death throes off cyberspace and let the myth slowly ooze into folk lore. It was a courageous act by one woman one night at Shannon. Its use here as a basis for your cheap shot anti-Catholicism shite - and its promotion to the top of the newswire - makes one wonder about issues of self harm in the movement.
Tommy, Gay Catholics, liberation theologians don't need your help (this kind of help)...they know where the door is and if they're not going to exit I'm sure they can put up a more mature opposition than what you offer here.)
After checking with Prof. Brian Arkins of the Classics Dept, NUIGalway - who gave his imprimatur to "Habemus diabolam" and "Habebamus diabolam" before posting -it's now the case, bejaysus, that "Classics Fiend" is right and the Prof wrong.
"Response to Item"; put a name to yourself?, your sewage has the same ad hominem malodorus psychopathology as the shite that was flung at Mary Kelly and myself some months back on Indymedia by some headbanger purporting to speak for the Pit Stop Ploughshares. C'mon now !, do the dacent thing and out yourself, if you dare, otherwise, button your sphincter, asshole, alright!.
Regards to the good professor. I'm guessing that it was a back formation inspired by "papam" ?
Now I get it the decapiation victim represent the Fairview peace group...the last local autonomous local peace group in Ireland that went under the knife of this lot, during the past week
What happened to the Fairview Anti-War Group?
There are still autonomous activepeace groups in Galway, Cork and the FEICers in Derry.
