MYSTERY surrounds how this photo made it into today’s Irish News beside the story about loyalist killer Mark Haddock. Maybe these kittens just like fish, or perhaps Mount Vernon’s mural painter has gone soft. Anyway, the informer is trying to do a Scap and secure anonymity for himself by preventing the media publishing pictures or details about his whereabouts.
Here’s a great review of a fascinating book (H/T reader Rory) on how the Internet is destroying our capacity for intelligent, focused and critical thought. It opens thus: …here is the news that Ulin brings in this slim, meandering book: that reading is “an act of contemplation”; that such an act becomes more difficult in [...] read our review »
The nod and wink politics of Ireland’s last two or three decades as practised par excellence by Bertie, Albert and Charlie is ultimately what has the Republic in the stew it’s in. Don’t get me wrong, the effective monitoring of those exercising of power does not demand full disclosure of everything all the time. But [...] read our review »
Northern Ireland’s peace process has been promoted as an international success story. The Republic’s Department of Foreign Affairs has its Conflict Resolution Unit, which aims to disseminate the ‘lessons’ of the Northern Ireland peace process. And some of the prominent players in our peace process have travelled abroad to other troubled spots to share their [...] read our review »
Or maybe they’re trying to tell us they’re a bunch of PUSSIES
let him out now so we can get justice!!!
ITS A SMALL WORLD!!
I do not think to many Unionist politicians will want this matter persued do you?
Haddock is not the only “Avishai Raviv” of the last 40 years.
The British intelligence services control all the terror groups on all sides.
Guess who controls British Intelligence???
“Guess who controls British Intelligence”???
I give up. Kittens?
I just had a look at the email address on the Mad-dog post – is that Johnny Adair’s tuppence?
“Guess who controls British Intelligence”???

Right, sorry, spot on Susan

Obviously Winalot does cat food also… I never knew, but you do.
But it would not be only natural that a Haddock swims, and eventually sleeps, with the fishes.
“[i]Or maybe they’re trying to tell us they’re a bunch of PUSSIES [/i]
Brilliant Mad-dog, lol
“[i]The British intelligence services control all the terror groups on all sides.”[/i]
Correct Sam Flanagan. They control those Muslim headbangers also and they even had a say in the Japanese suicide bombers
whoever the brainbox is on the ground with the GPMG has the carrying handle obstructing his iron sights.
Perplexed as to how or why they chose this picture to be photoed infront of???????
‘Japanese suicide bombers’…i take it you mean kamakazie pilots who were part of the Japaneze armed forces?

NO, he means, stooges who were used “by older and more sinister men.”
Sam, were did they not constitute a part of the imperial japaneze forces?
When they killed themselves, stupid
????????????

I would never have guessed in a million years that that was how the “wallpaper” looked. Just goes to show; there’s no accounting for taste.
Meowww.
Gonzo – this actually made the print edition? If it was only the online version it might’ve been a hack, but if it was the print version too maybe someone wasn’t thorough enough and grabbed a pic from rathergood.com or similar.
Reminds me of “Bert is evil” after 9/11:

Maybe the message has a subliminal meaning – KAT -as normally seen on walls in loyalist areas

What’s the “mystery”? Who is mystified?
“Haddock is trying to change his name before this [his release from prison],” it emerged in court”.
Smart move. An unfortunate name for an apprentice butcher.
I always thought there was something fishy about the guy. Isn’t he named after the captain guy out of Tin Tin ?
A tenner says they lifted it from someone’s Bebo page.
