@sinead_ryan AND she could never have raised the army of volunteers, artists for connolly or youth for connolly. No other potential candidate could possibly have come near her campaign
the only possibility was SF but I think that the decision to support Catherine was strategically brilliant
@Berlinnaeus Aontu are the reason Cll Tom Riot-goer is in Kildare CC - ppl voted No 1 Aontu (who played the vote for a woman card) and No 2 Tom - the call is very much coming from inside the house
The Iona Institute seems to be all over the media today, and the chair of Ógra Aontú has been forced to step down over racism allegations. Worth noting that the first chair of that organisation was Breda O'Brien's son, Ben Conroy, who was succeeded by his cousin. #FeckOffIona
I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.
1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.
2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion
3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual
4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded
5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.
For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.
6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.
7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.
8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.
I hope you find this helpful.
Israeli warship directly off my boat, the Spectre.
Boarding is imminent and this will likely be my last post before I am kidnapped.

@MaiaDunphy@Seanfhear59 She also used a Louis Vuitton (2.5K) & a Chanel (5K) while on the campaign trail, un-noticed & un-remarked upon
She is a bag-a-holic
@ZapPiglet@marybuckley549@SenatorKeogan she doesnt want to win, her cult just want to get equal airtime for their fringe cult views, they want to present their backwards looking lies to move the conversation to their aims
a bullshit campaign from a cult
