There'll be no winners with Trump and BoJo at the helm, apart from themselves of course.

Matt's book is all about the Treble Treble and having been reading the first handful of chapters over the past few days it really does take Celtic books up to another level.

Fantastic read .somebody should ram this article down the throats of every political figure of today and ensure these things are never repeated in this world of ours HH

Sounds like a magical experience, rich in history, sorrowful but culturally significant in many ways. Thoroughly enjoyed the story, almost felt like I had been myself.

Thanks very much for that and I think your comments re history etc. are spot on.

 

[Boola_vogue]

If you read only one article today folks read this one.

Top class.

?????

That’s really kind. Thank you.

Agree totally with 50 Shades a must read
You will not be disappointed.
Sad to think we sat in our homes and did nothing. And Government’s around the World
Who could didn’t.

HH ?

Thanks for that. The lack of response was shameful.

That article was outstanding. x standard!. Well done Matt. I had shivers down my spine...and it definitely wasn't the AC.

Thank you. That’s much appreciated. I would normally say ‘glad you enjoyed it’ but that’s hardly appropriate in this case.

A very poignant article

AsTET says it almost makes you feel as though you were there
Lot of dust in my eyes reading that excellent article once again

Thank you. That dust is irritating. I had the same problem whilst writing this.

First class ,hh

Very kind. Thank you. HH.

Great story. Apparently, there are ninjas chopping onions somewhere in the house . . . .

Thank you. Dust and onions everywhere it would seem.

 

[The Shamrock]

Very kind. Thank you. HH.

I take it that you're Matt, Boola?

Brilliant stuff Matt, The conflict in the Balkans will go down as Europe's shame. We stood by and watched and let people die, does anyone remember the Dutch UN troops who were under orders only to use arms when fired upon. They watched on as human beings were being taken away to be raped, tortured and killed.
When the world finally did react Blair and Clinton acted as bad as the worst monsters in the conflict and added to the death toll by an indescriminate bombing campaign, didn't see them in the Hague with the rest of the butchering Bastards though.

Europe’s shame right enough and I include myself in those who were too busy to care. I only found out about the role of the Dutch ‘peace-keeping’ forces over there but ignorance is no defence.

I take it that you're Matt, Boola?

Yes, sorry. Brand new to this type of forum so not sure of the protocol.

Fantastic article.
What a world we live in eh?
Thank god our politicians are better and the world we live in has improved so mu.........oh wait ?

That’s the worry. My Bosnian guides were both quite clear that the nationalist policies adopted to gain votes and therefore control were a huge part of the problem, if not the main cause. They divided people who had been living peacefully together, albeit it appears to have been a delicate peace. My concern is that I still see that fragility there today, not to mention some of the stuff being spouted ‘in the west’.

Very good article and thought provoking as well as entertaining.

Thank you for that.

After the Holocaust and the evidence that was found in the nazi concentration camps I remember leading politicians saying “ we must never let this happen again”. Well what the fcuk happened here then. Were they all away on holiday when this was goin on. They should be ashamed..... but politicians don’t know the meaning of the word

Spot on.

 

[Boola_vogue]

Really wonderful article. Looking forward to Matt Corr's book. If he can draw you in like that in a single article I can't wait for the journey a book takes. Bravo!

That’s really kind, Niall. You have no idea what a boost I get from reading a comment like that.

They don’t know the meaning of many words G,we live in a corrupt and sickening world !just as well most of us are strong and not let it get to us ,it does ,but we can cope ,just about ,if only the day would come that the citizens of the ‘decent’world could bring these people to justice ,we can only hope and pray,hh,

Great piece Matt,what happened there still heartbreaking to this day.

Thank you, Michael and I agree. Hard to believe this happened on our continent within the last 25 years.

The picture of the lorrys 54 ft long trailer attached with flowers is quite powerful , the horrors that were allowed to happen while the rest of the world navel gazed is abhorent

And yet grim finds are still ignored by the rest of the world

Totally agree. Sadly, the view over there is that will be many more lorries to follow.
