If the dust has settled, it is possibly now a time for analysis. Let us take for a start the Manchester Evening News article on 26th March 2016. The headline says that the victims had dropped the legal action against the Salford Diocese. In fact they did not drop it […]

Abuse: Its Forms and Failures
Before I start this probably long posting I would like to apologise to Mr Richard Scorer and his abuse team at Panone/Slater and Gordon in Manchester. I have probably done them a disfavour with my past blog postings but I now realise they were working in a section of English […]
Hunger Striking To History
Well yesterday Dublin witnessed what could only be classed as a spontaneous reaction to the ridiculous judge Paul Gilmartin’s sentencing of the Dublin Five to prison for coming within 20 metres of a water meter installer. 10,000 or so locals from the Dublin area arose, put on their boots and […]
Water, Water Everywhere But Not A Drop……..
With the jailing of five water protesters yesterday in the High Court in Dublin by the idiot judge Paul Gilligan for contempt of a court order forbidding anybody to step into a 20 metre no-go zone round meter installers, it emphasised the governments absolute terror at the situation it has […]
Irish Water-Something Does Not Add Up-It Smells
In 2012 when Bord Gais were given the task of setting up Irish Water, it was reported in the Independent on 22nd December that they queried the Fine Gael/Labour government’s determination to initially replace all stop taps in the country with smart meters. Bord Gais felt that the Department of […]

Well it was on March 10th this year when I started my protest against the Coalition’s new tax construct, Irish Water. It was then I parked my trusty old Land Cruiser over my stop cock and told GMC/Sierra, the contractor appointed by Irish Water to go from whence they came. […]
The People’s Voice Was Heard.
It was the morning of the 1st November 2014, my youngest son’s 21st birthday, but he was far away trying to earn his corn on some foreign field. I had just come back from South Africa, where for three weeks I and four friends had been following in the footsteps […]
Smart Meters, A Step Too Far – Part 5
Well it is the start of Day 18, I think. Any way it is 6th April 2014 and the situation outside is looking a little drab. The bright shiny new barriers the meter men put up on instruction from Sierra have lost their lustre and every day somebody or something […]
The Sun Always Shines…
It is 11 days since my last posting, 11 days of mind searching, trying to think of another subject for posting on my blog. It becomes demoralising sitting here at my desk at 4.30am trying to summon up a subject and find there is nothing. I had overdosed on Bede’s […]
