Sad occasion for her family and friends. RIP
|

By:
why wouldn't the family want a quiet funeral? Who pushed them into this? This was quite close to a state funeral

journalist murdered by terrorists - don't you think that deserves a good turnout?
|
|
By:
no, not to this scale. Do you? And if you do, why?
|
|
By:
Did any know who she was?
I'd never heard of her until she was plastered all over the BBC |
|
By:
The MSM look after their own.

Headline news now.

Jamal Khashoggi brutally murdered by the Saudis - allegedly. A journo who was the news for a long while across every known news media; i wonder what he'd have thought, & said about the 37 bloodthirsty executions yesterday in Saudi, one of which was a crucifixion? Just to add, one of the victims yesterday was another journo
|
|
By:
how many of you knew about the above? Not broadcast very successfully was it
|
|
By:
Apparently she was Sky news young journalist of the year for the whole UK but I had not heard of her either. As for why the big funeral, it was to demonstrate that the IRA are still a big threat.

By:
Is it only journalists you have heard of that should be on mainstream tv if they have the misfortune to be murdered by terrorists SontaranStratagem.
|
|
By:
I didn't know about the 37 executions but not surprised bearing in mind that the MSM can't afford to upset the Saudi's
 |
|
By:
double standards, Reynard? I read about it on Amnesty International, btw

Who was the famous war correspondent for the Times I think, who was killed? She wore a patch?
|
|
By:
Not a good situation anyway Bap,Saoradh marching in paramilitary gear in Dublin and Cork,ok Easter but a big step up.
|
|
By:
Marie Colvin I think she was American themightymac.
|
|
By:
yes pa, i heard about that, down O'Connell street as well?
|
|
By:
Yes,up Barrack st in Cork,i've nothing against marking republicism from times past but a different feel to this.
|
|
By:
it could be worse, pa they could have let hate preachers spill bile & filth on British streets for years unabated
|
|
By:
Thanks Fife.
|
|
By:
we now have the answer3
|
|
By:
Saoradh marched in Glasgow today.
Surprised they were allowed given their association with the group that killed the young journalist. |
|
By:
any trouble, Mr Bula?
|
|
By:
Can't stand the Irish pronunciation of Lyra.
|
|
By:
I haven't heard of any. Was an old work colleague who told me so not first hand info.
|
|
By:
there is definitely something brewing. As we now know the reason for all the dignitary suckholing; expect the unexpected
|
|
By:
I was surprised as well given that it wasn't a targeted killing of a journalist but an indiscriminate shooting that killed a lass who happened to be a journalist.
I think though that something is brewing and the large turnout of dignitaries was a show of strength against a return to all out violence. |
|
By:
Good on the local residents. Takes courage to do that.

By:
indeed
|
|
By:
when politicians get together, Mr Bula over something that wouldn't even make headlines normally, you just know their stench has other plans for it's aroma
|
|
By:
Especially with Theresa involved. Discount nothing.
|
|
By:
thank you for mentioning her, Mr Bula as she was the reason i started the topic. I will let you all surmise why
|
|
By:
and the large turnout of dignitaries was a show of strength against a return to all out violence.
Correct |
|
By:

Correct |

By:
Seen a couple of pics on twitter in respect of the march.
Each featured a banner. One read 'Unfinished Revolution - Unfinished Business' and the other 'We haven't gone away you know'. Both worrying messages. I doubt though that apart from a few 1diots they'll get much support. |

only takes one snowball to start an avalanche, Mr Bula

What do you expect when the utterly inept PM starts meddling , putting the Good Friday Agreement in jeopardy.
