Admit it OG, it just gets on your goat

Woosh.. the other day , you queried my understanding of the DUP situation.. well Poots, confirmed 2 . Days ago is now gone. By most models that would be seen as meltdown.

I might take that with a little caution. Yes the early vaccination has helped a lot . Remember the UK had about a month headstart , but may have squandered it on not doing the double jabbing. What has happened here is that with greater availability, the HSE ..our equivalent to the NHS has...

From todays Irish Times .. The European Union should consider changing its food safety rules to accommodate British demands if it wants the Northern Ireland protocol to work, Brexit minister David Frost has told MPs. Lord Frost told the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee that the EU was...

My experience with goats is extremely limited, neighbors in France had a few, including a tiny kid, who could slither downhill into my garden. They will eat anything , .. briars, ivy , dock leaves , nettles ..no bother to them.

Following the earlier response I went looking and yes there is a speciality butchers in Ranelagh Dublin ... dealing with Goats meat. Ranelagh would be a hippster , University student, univerity lecturer haunt with very well off folk and student types. I actually ran into Shaun McGowan of...

Nope he is the brand new leader of the DUP... Poots by name, puits by inclination. Mrs Foster was kicked out because she was excessively liberal ... She failed to VOTE AGAINST a proposal allowing gay rights to be discussed .... note not even discussed

Goats meat?. I have never seen it for sale. So I don't think so, but certainly Goats Cheese has become very much an artisan product... My wife is an addict. Mutton and Lamb, is less associated with NI than more Westerly parts

There is absolutely no need to import any meat products into NI... It is a major producer!. Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey, Duck, are all native. To which one can add eels, oysters, mussels, farmed salmon, white fish..

Woosh, perhaps you would indulge me, and accept that I might have a better understanding of things 10 miles up the road. There are plenty of excellent pork farms in NI, and the majority of Ducks consumed in the UK come from the Border, Ireland, North and South is a major producer of Beef...

What will kill peace in Ireland is the current shilly shallying . The DUP are imploding and looking for an enemy to unite against. A resolute Westminster , upholding an international agreement might actually stop that . There was a very serious program aired on RTE yesterday, narration by...

From a meeting in Dublin today ... "Reports suggesting the EU could impose checks on Irish goods going to continental Europe to solve the impasse over the Northern Ireland Protocol are incorrect, a European Commissioner has said. Mairead McGuinness said the EU was willing to be flexible with...

....THis from the Irish Times Fintin O'Toole of today "Blessed are the makers of processed pork products, for they shall come to symbolise British pluck in the face of the foreign foe. The invention of the “sausage war” as a cover for the flagrant breach of an international treaty is absurd...

I'm sorry Woosh, but the Westminster Cabal didn't giver a damn about it. It was a transactional action, to give enough cover to con the UK Electorate into going along with a Deal. The DUP were short changed and sidelined, so their opposition in Westminster was irrelevant. Now the actuality is...

From today's Irish Times .... It has become fashionable to refer to the European Union as a “bloc”, a term which is inappropriate except perhaps when referring to the EU specifically as a “trading bloc”. This increasingly widespread misnomer could, over time, impact negatively on how the EU is...
