As was noted in this forum a few days ago, John McGuirk, the editor of the Irish media organisation Gript, has been absent from his podcast and other fora there for the last three weeks or so, without explanation. It is now been confirmed that he has been dropped as the editor there.

A controversial figure, John McGuirk has been a prominent member of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, Libertas, and New Vision and in most cases left under something of a cloud and in not a few cases with bitter recriminations among former colleagues.

Gript originally started as a response by one of the most prominent anti-abortion groups, Youth Defence/Life Institute, to the failure of that movement in the abortion referendum. McGuirk headed that campaign for that group, which was run the rest of the time by Niamh Ní Bhriain.

It is not known why he has left/been-sacked as editor of Gript but the Irish Times is saying that he fell out with the aforementioned Niamh Ní Bhriain who is the deputy editor of Gript and a 50% shareholder. Maybe its something to do with his atheism, which he is quite proud of, or maybe his support for the state of Israel which he does not hide either, or other matters not in the public domain.

He is succeeded by "the Dublin-born son of a Jamaican immigrant, Ben Scallan", already a senior journalist on Gript.

Does Ben have Irish genetics on his Jamaican side? Descendant of Irish Catholic slaves or Irish Prod slaveowners? Were his African slave ancestors treated well by their owners, or is there intergenerational resentment?

What's his take on the Immigration Question?

He is very sound on immigration, asks plenty of tough questions. One parent Jamaican the other Irish. He's a fine choice to take over. Remember mad red Ruth coppinger refuses to take his questions, so obviously a good one
 
rumors- unsubstantiated of course on X - that McGuirk might run for Aontu. Would actually be very interesting if there is any truth in that, but he would have somewhat, name recognition, could get a seat next election...
 
Can Aontu fool that many.

They fooled Peterdown in cork to join

using "boards.ie" yardstick - id say the break down of the Irish population is:
80% white irish are far right
18% foreign nationals = no opinion
2% lgtbq+-*@#O98 / socialists = progressive antifa

i supported gript with 10 euros per month of a sub as i felt their voice needed to be heard .
i then listened to mc gurk and was shocked to discover he is a mad unthinking illetrate -not give a shit zionist .
not a half clever man with Zionist views but a extremist daft unhinged- unthinking Zionist .
the final straw came when he opinioned the starving children of Gaza did not look dachu/auchwitz enough for his taste .
i wrote and phoned gript and cancelled my sub and i learned that i was one of many doing the same that day and the staff said pitifully THESE ARE HIS OWN OPINIONS NOT GRIPT --i responded he is your editor -good luck and goodbye.

the iran trump was is ON /OFF about 3 times a week and if you know what trump is going to say you will make millions each week on oil futures --he is having a ball as he has it all to himself as he is so unpridictable he can make a 100 million per week.
my 10 euros will have to wait -- it is too predictable/ unpredictable.

Correct, the correct course then with the €10 is to be the very first paid subscriber to Sarsfields.
 
Didn't you pay for my subscription before or was that on Pish?

Never a truer word said.

The moral of the story is: be very careful where you put it.

It might seem like a good idea at the time, but...

Reminds of the unfortunate chap who was political editor of RnaG before the current smarmy pro-refugee, pro-Covid guy, whatever his name is. The journo was on a night on the town in Gaillimh, meets a nice woman who requests the sex from him in his car, as it happens.

Why not? He sez to himself and does the business to everybody's mutual satisfaction. That's all fine and dandy. Just another night out on the town in modern liberal Ireland.

Imagine his shock and surprise a couple of days later to find the Garda Sicini knocking on his door and accusing him of rape. He got two or three years isteach sa prisun.

And somebody else slipped into his job.

The expression is his brains are in his balls --therefore everything will be made a balls of.
the saying is also true ANY SIMPLE WOMAN CAN CONTROL A CLEVER MAN --BUT IT TAKES A VERY CLEVER WOMAN TO CONTROL A FOOL .

This led her to return to Ireland in hopes of pursuing a degree in journalism. After completing an undergrad in journalism and visual media in Dublin, she became a reporter for Ireland’s fastest growing, and arguably only, media outlet providing news and views from a conservative standpoint: Gript Media.

Known for her outspoken nature and willingness to tell the truth in an atmosphere of media and government spin, she has done extensive reporting on the controversial topic of migration in Ireland. She is a devout Catholic with a deep appreciation for art and culture.

Should she be deported?

Maybe she needs some real life experience ? !
 
I thought she was half Phillipina! Are you sure about the Paki thing? She can stay, but if Paki daddy is still around we should deport him pronto. We could also deport McGuirk to hang out with his Jewish friends in Israel.

She is probably very aware of the nasty side of Judaeo-Paki culture.

Strange to make an allegation of leg touching two years after the event. If it happened at all, she should just have slapped his face at the time. Did her Irish Catholic mother not teach her the facts of life???

I wonder who else was in the room? Tommy Yaxley-Lennon, maybe?

I would have thought John was more of a trad Irish bottom pincher :). But as a Zionist atheist, perhaps John is more likely to "bat for Team PInk"?

Fair play to Haven for making a joke, even if it was lifted from elsewhere. We should reward good behaviour like that.

No, she can stay, as for the 3rd world low IQ Somalian savages, deport en masse. Every one of them.

Now you're talking! Which is what I wanted you to do. You don't think that anyone should be deported based on ethnicity, race, immigration status etc...

I assumed that was your position.
