I really enjoyed the book launch for my book on Habeas Corpus this Tuesday. Thanks to every one who came out, in particular Judge Hogan of the Supreme Court. I hope everyone present had a good time, I know I did!

My book on habeas corpus should come out in the new year, but in order sell more copies I'm thinking of calling it "A house of flame and roses and swords and shadow and iron and bone and thorns and steel"

Working title on an article about a recent judgement.

"Blood, death and the 46a bus".

One subtle Irish nuance foreigners might not get about Bad Sisters, is that traditionally in Irish culture, where sisters band together to murder someone, it is considered to be bad.

I wonder about the 127 voters who voted Pascal Donoghue no1 Gerry Hutch no 2.

Very disappointing to see the globalist pedophile cabal making inroads in what has traditionally been a hardworking illuminati shape-shifter constituency.
This is the best one so far: Malachy Steenson, who looks to be out of the running in Dublin Central, suggests Gerry Hutch was "put into this race" by the State to prevent his election.

Just voted. The people working at the polling centre told me turn out has been very high.

Once I asked a senior colleague at work what he was doing for Christmas. He replied

'Spending it with Mrs Claus and all the subordinate Claus's"

Congratulations to everyone getting FE1 results today, especially those I have given grinds to. If you know anyone looking for grinds tell them to make a donation to charity and to get in touch with me.
