    The image they use is below.



    Except that picture is doctored, here's the original:



    Kudos to Hugh Green over on Lisbon Treaty Whup-Ass The Punishment of Sloth
    Hmm... I wonder have they purchased the rights to use Steeler's Wheel's music in that video, or are they also stealing music as well as using doctored photos...???

I laughed.
    What would you propose we do if Ireland comes under attack from somebody. Tell those EU busybodies to stay away and not destroy our "neutrality" maybe.

    I don't think Ireland would come under attack, given that we are neutral and are not likely a target of any organisation.

    So let's abolish the army. A waste of money. In 1914, belgium was neutral and it didn't bother Kaiser Bill much. What if an Al Qaeda outfit decide to do something for the cause in infidel Ireland. You would refuse assistance from the EU I presume.

    Neutrality means that when you see people being marched to a gas chamber you do nothing, shrug the shoulders and say "I'm neutral". You even go and sign the book of condolences for the guy that marched them to the gas chamber in the first place.

    Not only did they add in the naked women but they added a whiplash to Trotskys upraised hand. Shame on them.
    The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.

    What an own goal. Surely kbc, yfg, ly and yg could do better than that. On the broader point the video is extremely dirty and sadly typical of the yes campaign.

    Are you sure Generation Yes doctored the photo?

    Not the first time I've seen that fake photo on this site. Come out Clanrickard/Thac0man/bormotello with your hands up!
