TΓ‘naiste says families will be asked for input on child spinal inquiry as he accepts he broke 2017 promise
Simon Harris today said he accepts βpolitical accountabilityβ for a 2017 commitment that no child would have to wait more than four months for scoliosis treatment.

I get angry evwn thinking about it. www.thejournal.ie/harris-scoli...

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was βhave horrible opinionsβ. The man co-founded an organization thatβs sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasnβt even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

The moral of the story as usual is for the west, that brown, Arab, Iranian lives are worth less than white ones, Israel plays into this often as well, we are the savages, terrorists and are often acceptable collateral damage for geopolitical aims, the end

Reply to Paul Golding from "Prometheus" says "thats because they aren't trying to erase the race of the badgers. Just white British"
