Slavery and Stuff
« on: June 14, 2020, 08:14:08 am »
Big Dommo .Tommy Two Fingers ,Billy The Bastard ,Meself and Sharon Muddyman were having a few cans last night in the Playground in the Flats now that the Corpo reopened them .A few youngfellas came over to join us as they like to learn stuff from us oldtimers .Larry Byrnes youngfella ,the one with the tattoo on his neck was wondering what would some of the Statues around Dublin be worth for scrap .He is a real deep thinker because he then says I wonder would you get more in scrap value for a statue or would you of gotten more for a slave .What im saying really is a statue worth more than a life .So I said to him .You are attending Trinity College .It was built by the British to spread Britains version of Education and History it was a Bastion of British oppression educating Protestants to oppress Irish Catholics .Is its value today to Irish Society effected by its past and as it is a Monument to that past should we tear it down or do you limit your disgust of the past to just a few statues for effect .Reflecting Deeply on the Substance of my argument he asks How much is lead a Kilo now in the scrap yard .

To much class for that Dollyer .Luke is vandalised  as that Statue represents the States Failure to protect Life .Read Leo in the Paper complaining about Danny the Boxer and how he is responsible for Multi Murders .There is a Man who when he looks out his front Window has a clear view of the Statue .There have been multiple attempts to kill this man and people have been Jailed for his Attempted Murder .The State have a responsibility to Protect life .How are they Protecting the Number one target in the Country from an assassins Bullett when they cant even mind a Statue in his front Garden .

The defacing of that Statue is a Protest to Garda and State indifference to protection of life .All Irish Government Ministers have a Protection Detail yet Michael Collins is probably the Last Government Minister clipped in Ireland .There is more to the Defacing of Luke than the fact it is a shite statue .

Yes it is obviously politically motivated.it is suspected by a few locals who is doing it,but certain people are afraid to become involved because they are on TR themselves

A can of spray keeps the Gunmen away .Gards drive by more regularly to catch the painter so certain bogies avoid the area .Cause and effect Dalymount .

"The Pornographer" by John Mc Gahern, a great read. The best man to come out of Leitrim.

We removed all the empire statues back in devs day

A huge statue of queen Victoria in trinity  but we didn't wreck it we gave it to Scotland
The only 2 we wrecked was Nelson's pillar and a statue of a lord on a horse in Phoenix park
Most other s were graciously repatriated
