It's an attack on our democracy

THE targeting of Irish politicians for death threats, abuse, and harassment is criminal and appalling.

- JOHN KIERANS

It now seems we are not talking about angry keyboard warriors with two chips on their shoulders sitting at home around the country but more sinisters forces from abroad.

There are a lot of countries who have big issues with us at the moment but I won't speculate without the clear facts but you can easily work it out for yourself.

We are seen as too liberal and not conservative enough in some places, anti-Christian in others, far too pro-Palestine, pro Ukraine and anti Russian.

There are a few world powers out there who have skin in the game.

The gardai are of course all over this and they will in time establish who specifically masterminded the shocking threats against the Taniste Simon Harris and his young family.
