BELFAST CITY AIRPORT has reopened this morning after an Aer Lingus plane suffered an emergency incident while landing during strong winds yesterday afternoon.
The plane’s nose wheel collapsed as it landed at approximately 4pm in Belfast due to adverse weather conditions.
There were four crew on board the Aer Lingus regional flight from Edinburgh and no passengers when the hard landing occurred .
The incident triggered emergency procedures at Belfast City Airport and forced the runway to close for the rest of the day.
Several flights were also redirected to Belfast International Airport.
Following an incident on 22 December, the runway at Belfast City Airport has reopened & is operating as normal. Passengers impacted by yesterday's closure or those due to travel today should check the status of their flight with the airline.
— Belfast City Airport (@BELFASTCITY_AIR) December 23, 2024
Emerald Airlines, the airline operating the flight, said the incident was a result of weather conditions, which has been disrupting travel across Ireland and the UK.
Yesterday, a spokesperson Belfast City Airport said the “incident” was a positioning flight, and urged passengers affected by the airport closure to contact their airlines.
“This was a positioning flight with no passengers but four crew members on board.
“The airport’s emergency procedures were enacted.
“The runway is currently closed and will be for the rest of the day. Passengers are asked to contact their airline.”

Lefties in panic mode across Europe now.
@Marvin Dollery: How many far-right T.D.’s?
@Brian D’Arcy: there is a narrative against migration though. How many of these TD’s come out in full support of the current migration situation? How many parties came out in full support of migration before the election?
@Paul Fahey: FF and FG stated they are pro-immigration at the leaders debate, it is their migration policies after all. Labour and SocDems also favoured immigration, they are the next largest parties after the big three. Those against got no seats.
@Marvin Dollery: You can change the account name endlessly, but unless you vary what you type then it’s obvious it’s still you!
@Marvin Dollery: Is the left and right illusion still going strong? (genuine question)
@Numinous20111: I only have one account. At least I use my name and not some cringeworthy alias.
@Marvin Dollery: Useful stooges still spending their time trolling and shilling for their dimwit overlords. Book allergic, with their brains scrambled by the tech bro algorithms – on and on it goes.
@SerotoninWars: You need medication.
@Marvin Dollery: The usual witless and simpleminded reply from yourself. I can’t imagine how much you lower the mean IQ in a room. But fools never realise they’re fools. Humanity’s greatest collective flaw.
@SerotoninWars: Never argue with a fool.. I told you before I don’t interact with mentally unstable people. It’s always a waste of time.
@Marvin Dollery: Translation: ‘I’ve no comeback so I’ll resort to some jaded mental illness rhetoric’. ‘lol’.
@SerotoninWars: No, it means I don’t waste my time chatting to clowns with mental problems. Then again, I wouldn’t say you understand that so I’m even wasting my time explaining it. Bye now.
@Marvin Dollery: You’ve literally left a post trail contradicting yourself even on this small thread! Not that anyone with a functioning intellect believed you anyway, but man, you sure do the work for your detractors all by yourself. Pray that you never end up in front a professional interrogator! The tiniest thread pull would unspool the incoherent shambles in your head in seconds. Go and get educated. Do yourself and your village a favour!
@SerotoninWars:
Don’t overlook the fact that a large number of people are profiting greatly from the wave of illegal immigration (or economic immigration, as a recent garda report correctly termed it).
These range from the dozens of state funded charities and NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration, as well as the parasitic legal system that defends it. There is also the accommodation and other service providers providers that are benefiting from the gold rush.
This country has always featured gombeens and traitors as well as scroungers that never worked and cannot understand why the rest of the world shouldn’t join them on the welfare bandwagon.
@Brian D’Arcy: no far right yet commie,wait till the g rapes and murdering of irish citizens, you dirty leftwing libtard
@Brian D’Arcy: you are behind
and usually copying UK for everything.
it will grow, question if time.
immigration rising with the help of power in place… it will come like it is now in uk
@FG’s Rental Trap:
Let’s not forget Sinn Feins 10 year obsession with wanting to flood the country with immigrats.
Far right is in with a good shout of being the medias buzz phrase for 2025…that and probably weather warnings.
@Dere: just calling a spade a spade. But get offended at facts all you want, melty.
@Dere: The Lazy Left have got so used to walking on peoples rights that they are confused about the concept of freedom
@Dere: ‘Far left’ probs no.2? Not as loud or entertaining as the supposed right, those all these extremities are exactly the same, which is also entertaining, lol… Watch the lumpheads try using words like ‘fact’ lol, it’s beautiful.
@F1rYnpWc: Get offended? Nah bud it’s actually quite funny you think everything is far right.
@F1rYnpWc: you can’t call a spade a spade because its racist
@donal O’brien: Shhh, anyone who projects as much as that clown does is a secret racist themselves. Also an Oikophobe. Mental illness.
@thomas molloy: Imagine posting this! Imagine having a world of information at your fingertips and instead of delving into books, history, academic work and evidence based arguments – you drivel this out. Yah, it’s the left looking to crush dissent, roll back on press freedom, demonise the LGBT community, parrot endless racist conspiracies, lie on an loop and pine for a white Christian nationalist planet. Well, tech bro planet is what they’ve got right now – feed the gullible endless bitesize gibberish that appeals to fearful emotions and requires no intellectual diligence – watch them lap it up, while you bag the power and strip their rights. You lot are unforgivable. The place you are taking us all too…
@SerotoninWars: “taking us all to”, not “talking us all too”. How old are you, 11? Such a juvenile rant with juvenile spelling mistakes. Give mommy back her iPhone child.
@Marvin Dollery: taking us all to”, not “talking us all too”
‘Such a juvenile rant with juvenile spelling mistakes’
Hahaha! Oh dear. Painful.
@F1rYnpWc: nah you’re just calling what you don’t like a derogatory label, but never let the truth get in the way of your arrogance
@thomas molloy: What people’s rights has the left walked on? Go on, name one?
@Ian: the right to be a sh*t-heel human?
More centre-right than far-right. A proper far-right party wouldn’t continue to import migrants and would probably leave the EU.
@common sense: Is that the perception of “far” right? I’m interested to see where people draw the line in their ‘truth sand’… Far right for me is sort of forceful authoritarian Communism that uses violence and unhappiness as its mantra, maybe Taliban to a degree, etc.
@common sense: Fratelli d’Italia, Meloni’s party, was literally founded by Mussolini’s henchmen in the MSI.
@common sense: even the far right are not far right enough for you
@Jacintha Dumbrell: By that logic Fine Gael was a fascist party containing the Blueshirts. Is anyone saying that they’re far right?
@Colette Walsh:
By logic Sinn Fein are National Socialists. As they Collaborated with the Nazi during WW2. Plus each year they hold a rally at the statue of a Nazi chief of staff of the IRA in Feirview Park Dublin.
I’m worried about the ideology that all migrants are good.
What I can see is not good at all.
The birth rate below replacement reate and it’s showing up in the schools already.
Immigration is far from an unqualified benefit. The famous liberal states are finding that out and we are being told, but our big economic interest parties don’t want to hear.
The current parenting generation with their 1.2 children in a big car will find out about itm shen It’s too late to do anything.
I won’t start into it – the recoil reaction is “You are a recist”.
@Antony Stack: do you know what a speculative theory is? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement_conspiracy_theory
@F1rYnpWc: Do you know what a FACT is.
@Antony Stack: Yup, no context and no attempt at a balanced perspective. Just re-heat what you’ve heard on ‘alternative’ media. Why do you think Irish people are having fewer children? Could it be due to living costs being difficult to manage. Home ownership prospects? In case you haven’t noticed, Ireland has been a very expensive place to live in for the last 30 years (i.e. the supposed stronger economy than the earlier decades). So you have more children when it is more affordable to have them and when you believe they can lead a normal employment life in a home of their own with a good chance at an adequate retirement.
@F1rYnpWc: are the UN conspiracy theorists…who knew?
https://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd-egm_200010_un_2001_replacementmigration.pdf
@Numinous20111: In general, the poorer the society the larger the families. Previously Irish families were larger even though we were poorer (some fo this can be put down to the Catholic church or a lack of contraception), however you see the same results in other countries across the world. With increased incomes and better health systems, family size reduces.
@Emer McDonnell: You appear to be misinterpreting that UN document, which merely considers possible solutions to the problem of declining and ageing populations in Western countries.
@Brendan O’Brien: (Also, it’s 25 years old.)
@Brendan O’Brien: you mean the document doesn’t say that Europes “native” population is being purposely replaced, mainly by people from Muslim countries, at the behest of elites such as Soros that seek to drive down wages for their own benefit? Who knew?
@Kevin Kerr: Totally predictable attempt at muddying the waters. You’re fooling nobody. All it shows is your level of juvenile intellect. You and that sad clown Brenda are both wanton Oikophobes.
@Marvin Dollery: as usual, you resort to personal attacks rather than debate the issue at hand. Bye now
@Marvin Dollery: You believe in the ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy theory?
@The next small thing: True – poverty is a major factor in population growth.
The growth of the population in Ireland in the 50 years before the famine certainly was’nt due to ‘home ownership’
Look of for comments that start with “no context and no attempt at a balanced perspective” . It will be followed by illogical statements from somebody who doesn’t want to hear and doesn’t want to know.
@Brendan O’Brien: and….? Tell me what has the Western world done to incentivise westerners to have children or is it becoming more difficult due to a lack of housing (security) , free contraception, high number of abortions etc..but yet they are spending billions (2 billion alone in Ireland since 2022) on housing foreign migrants….!
@Kevin Kerr: You are an Oikophobe. Interesting that both yourself and Brenda replied at the EXACT same time too.. blatantly obvious that ye are either A. the same person or B. ye are on a messenger group. I’ll go with the latter – there’s a tiny vocal minority on here trying to control the narrative. Not happening. You fail yet again. By the way, lots is known behind the scenes.
@Marvin Dollery: I refer you to my previous reply
@Marvin Dollery: ‘lots is known behind the scenes’ … mysterious! (and meaningless).
Yes, it’s obvious that anyone who disagrees with your ‘oikophobia’ gibberish must be secretly liaising with like-minded people ‘behind the scenes’: in your world that probably seems logical.
In reality, of course, you’re a paranoid outlier fooled by echo chambers into believing that his extremism is mainstream. Even the general election results didn’t disabuse you of that notion.
@Emer McDonnell: The amusing thing is that the most vocally anti-migrant people are the first to condemn improved maternity leave or anything that benefits women in general (too ‘woke’).
Do you have any evidence that having children is deliberately disincentivised to serve a political agenda?
@Brendan O’Brien: Looks like you don’t like being called an Oikophobe! Oh well! You won’t shake this name off, its stuck with you because it sums you up perfectly. Such desperation and deflection in that reply. By the way, had there been a viable alternative centre-right party to vote for, they’d have landslided it. You know this too. It all changes from the 20th, too many fools drunk on power abusing their position.
@Brendan O’Brien: Having a few weeks off for maternity leave isn’t a huge incentive now is it Brendan? Btw there is nothing wrong with being vocal about our migrant problem and the billions our Government is spending , is there? Unless of course you are one of the businesses profiteering from it….are you one of them Brendan…?
@Brendan O’Brien: well Brendan they really are incentivised aren’t they?
https://www.thejournal.ie/unicef-report-finds-ireland-chilcare-expensive-half-of-salary-spent-5470328-Jun2021/
@Marvin Dollery: You can call me anything you want: I couldn’t care less.
‘had there been a viable alternative centre-right party to vote for, they’d have landslided it’ is fantasy (and what you mean by ‘centre-right’ is anyone’s guess). You fool yourself into believing that most people think like you, when they quite obviously don’t (luckily for us all). You’re just a paranoid child who’s afraid of foreigners.
@Emer McDonnell: One moment you’re talking about the Western world as a whole, the next about Ireland being more expensive than other Western countries. You have provided no evidence that having children is deliberately disincentivised (either here or across ‘the West’) to serve a political agenda
@Brendan O’Brien: Ireland is part of the western world is it not Brendan? ‘Affordable, quality childcare is inaccessible in many of the world’s wealthiest countries’ unicef! Now Brendan tell me why is our Government not spending a billion per annum on this? please give me information on what our Gov has done to incentivise us to have children…..and please don’t deflect!
@Brendan O’Brien: Nope, all made up lies and deflection. The only thing I fear is that clowns like you manage to get any sort of power or influence. Thankfully people have brains and ye are a tiny minority. Go talk to the average person on the street and you’ll have your warped Oikophobic mind blown.
@Marvin Dollery: The ‘average person on the street’ elected a Dáil that is completely devoid of people who think like you do. You are far from ‘average’.
@Emer McDonnell: You have still provided no evidence that having children is deliberately disincentivised (either here or across ‘the West’) to serve a political agenda. As far as I can see, there has been little or no pressure on the government to incentivise people to have children. It is not a live issue.
@Marvin Dollery: And ‘clowns like me’ (i.e. moderate people …. non-extremists) make up virtually the entirety of our elected representatives.
@Brendan O’Brien: No Brenda, the low turnout of voters said it all. No viable alternative party to vote for. Also, the lefties who were voted back in all hailed from NIMBY, leafy, affluent areas. These clown-rich areas are populated by the status quo with vested interests and won’t rock the boat as it will directly affect their lifestyle. The average person on the street also knows that if they says certain hurty words they’ll land themselves in trouble with the lefty communists. Behind all the deplorable censorship there is an extremely angry populace. The pot is boiling over, warped folk such as yourself will only get so far before it majorly backfires.
@Marvin Dollery: You work so hard to try to distort the real world into something that chimes with your fantasies.
‘The average person on the street also knows that if they says certain hurty words they’ll land themselves in trouble with the lefty communists’: and are the ‘lefty communists’ [sic] in the polling booth with them?
@Brendan O’Brien: I have sent you information on the huge cost of childcare, the cost of housing, free contraception and access to abortion are any of these an incentive ? now Brendan are you able to provide me with information on what they have done to encourage/ incentivise ….are you able to? Seems like you’re not!
@Emer McDonnell: I never claimed that they incentivised, although child benefit, parental leave etc. are incentives. You haven’t been able to back up your claim.
@F1rYnpWc: Wikipedia
@Brendan O’Brien: how have I not being able to back up my claim? But this is you ‘ there is little or no pressure on the Government to incentivise people to have more children, it’s not a live issue’….but do keep burying your head in the sand there Brendan….can’t question the Giv can you?
https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/irelands-birth-rate-drops-sharply-to-reach-lowest-level-in-decades-1598551.html
@Brendan O’Brien: you’re far from moderate Brendan!
@Antony Stack: you are some feckwit,are you still hiding under the bed ???
@Emer McDonnell: The Useless Nations.
The Journal wouldn’t know what far right was if it gave them a left hook.
@Eric Gaffney: It is propaganda and conditioning as usual. The journal create fake narratives on behalf of their paymasters. This particular narrative is the meloni is somehow a figure for the ‘far right’ when in reality she is just another globalist stooge. Mainstream media’s job is to keep the political Overton window tight.
@Eric Gaffney: You mean in the same way you can pick anything decent to film?
@SerotoninWars: *can’t
@SerotoninWars: In the same way you can’t type.
@Eric Gaffney: One corrected typo vs a trail of crap films. Hmmm!
@Eric Gaffney: PS does the small Irish film industry know you spend so much time shilling for the far right? Can’t imagine that’s popular!
@SerotoninWars: You seem to be taking all this very personal, are you one of the useless fools working for ze journal?
@Eric Gaffney: Nah just sick of watching fellow citizens shilling for a sex pred. It’s not too late to change tack. Move towards the light mate. It’s not too late :)
@Eric Gaffney: They try to use it as a slur, when it’s fast becoming a compliment.
Ah sure everyone’s far right these days. Your even far right if you disagree with UK grooming gangs or UCD report into Rochdale type grooming gangs present in Ireland. Far right far right far right. Seriously.
Beautiful woman.
@Dan Murphy: simp
In fairness she’s a good leader, who gets to say who she visits?, far this far that centre this centre that.
Far right Can anyone here mention one far right thing that Mrs Meloni did or tried to do officially while in office that’s far right?
Far right is:
Xenophobia – Meloni has said that instead of bringing undocumented Muslim migrants who don’t integrate to bring people from starving Venezuela who welcomed Italian migrants during the 20th century. These people are of a predominantly darker and mixed-race.
Colonialism – Meloni spoke about how France is in charge of printing the Central African Franc charging them for the springing costs plus a fee of half the gold countries like Burkina Faso extracts at a discounted price plus demanding that their reserves are held in France.
EU -The centrist groups were fighting over luring Meloni’s party to join them, she immediately said no to the anti-EU groups.
Social Welfare – Meloni introduced measures aimed at supporting families like tax benefits and financial incentives proportionate to the number of children, as well as initiatives to increase the availability of crechés and support working mothers.
Abortion – While Meloni remains opposed to abortion, she didn’t try to eliminate free abortion in Italy, it has been free and it is still free under Meloni.
I ask again, heat is far right about Meloni? The word “far” seems to be thrown as an excuse when someone doesn’t agree 100% with someone else’s agenda on both sides.
@Dave G Doe: Yes she is.
Far Right? So Sweden has only taken 4000 asylum seekers this year.so does that make it far right.no it’s been an unmitigated disaster in Sweden.The fear of constant criminal activity been hidden and swept under the carpet as a necessary by product of migration by the government narrative has truly ended
Interesting photograph that the Journal chose for this article. Then again, all far right politicians must look like nut jobs according to our government. Just saying.
@Gerry Madden: yes this is a tactic used by news outlets that are not impartial. By using an unflattering photo they help influence the readers opinion subconsciously. It’s often used with Trump articles. Most are not wise to it.
@Gerry Madden: I can’t see the problem with the photo, which looks perfectly normal to me (but apparently portrays a ‘nut job’ according to you).
@Cathal Scully: 100% correct. Propaganda and social conditioning.
@Gerry Madden: Apparently the Guardian doesn’t have a decent picture of Meloni. Check them out
Gotta love the ultra far left who welcome unrestriced, uncontrolled Islamic migration to Europe, whilst forgetting how they treat LGBQT+ folk in Islamic countries…
She’s not far right. Ridiculous statement.
@Alan OConnor: Papers to sell Alan.
@Thesaltyurchin: Another 4 years incoming of Trump half way through a blink.
@Eric Gaffney: Yes, it’s a disgrace that so many photos of Trump show his head, neck, etc., in order to paint him in an unflattering light.
@Brendan O’Brien: Phuck off and talk to someone about the weather ye little puff.
@Brendan O’Brien:
They could show the rest of him,and have double the laugh
Don’t like it. So call it far right. F-ME
Far-right? She literally says for western nations to stop financially raping these countries of their resources so maybe they might be able to build up their own economies. France, Britain, Germany and the U.S have ransacked every country over the last 300 years.
@Tomás Clayton:You will find it’s China and Russia that are now the predominant countries taking the resources from these countries, especially in Africa. It’s the west that are left to try and either provide aid or take in the fleeing populations.
@The next small thing: The west has robbed Africa for centuries. The west is the reason Africa remains poor and is the way it is. It’s pathetic of you to claim it’s Russia and China’s fault now and the west is trying to help. The west is responsible for what’s happening in Africa and that’s a fact
@Ger Whelan: The west WAS responsible for robbing the resources from Africa, that is no longer the case. It’s 50 years since any african country was a colony of a european country. Nowadays countries are either being financed by China or Russia (through exhorbitant loan deals that will see the investing countries taking over large parts of the infrastructure in these countries). Also, you will find private armies from Russia and China working out of many African countries.
Now I’ve given some evidence to back up my claim, maybe you could list out some of the issues the west is creating in Africa today.
The term far right now is a badge for common sense forward thinking people.
@Dave G Doe: blue hair dye and being the constant victim in life seems to cause a delusion, far right is a harmless political standpoint only, alt right now is something slightly different.
The darcy creature is a far left piece of detritus.
Common sense = far right
Remember that Far Right now means you are just slight left of Marxist
I’m far right. Come at me.
@FlipBip: Finally, someone who at least owns up to it.
@FlipBip: Lol! we really have no idea what that is tho?
What makes her far right? And not just right? Or centre right? What is it in her politics that she is far right when I thought the Nazi’s were far right?
Far right?? I like newspapers found by populist socialist and soros
So funny Biden gave to SOROS an award of freedom what a joke
She is about as ‘far roysch’ as chairman Mao. Shes a complete fraud.
Far left, far right, what about far center? Maybe far populist?
Who decides what far right or far left is anyways?
@George Vladisavljevic: the way the comments section on the journal is operating these days anyone who has a different opinion to open borders and letting in everyone and anyone is far right. Reality is the line’s have been blurred that nobody knows that far right actually is anymore
@George Vladisavljevic:
Jacinta Dumb something.
@Ger Whelan: yes. Anyone who is not in favour of mass migration from Africa and the like are far right. The irony is, it’s all being done to satisfy corporate wants. Western governments and the 1% are tired of western citizens with notions about owning houses, having families and having a strong sense of culture/identity.
Think about it, everything being pushed is to weaken the average citizen whose ancestors built western civilisation.
@Carl Valderrama: whatever about Meloni, you are a fine example of someone who has far right beliefs
@Kevin Kerr:
And you are a fine example of a controlled NPC!
These journal ‘journalists’ are usually indoctrinated into Marxism through DCU, then the journal (the establishment) gives them a cushy number churning out establishment narratives to condition the masses. These ‘journalists’ think they are some sort of right on ‘stick it to the man’ heroes. They are actually just stooges pushing false narratives for their paymasters. Self righteous, sanctimonious, holier than thou kids who are full of ego.
@Carl Valderrama:
Excellent point, and I would say all the other universities are the same.
@Regular John: Yes I know how it works. These idiots love the ‘power’ bestowed upon them. They use their ‘job’ as a means of artificially platforming themselves. They wouldn’t have achieved their ‘status’ on their own merit so they become propaganda peddlers on behalf of the state.
Far right far sh@te, change the record, if you’re to the right of Michael D. these days you’re automatically labelled ‘far right’.90% of the 2005 Dail would be ‘far right’ by current standards,it’s ridiculous!
Wanting an immigration policy a country enforces that refuses some migrants is seen as far right. Ireland must house all who get here and provide for them indefinitely. Total joke as politicians rent properties to house refugees.
@Pork Hunt: no it isn’t. Grow the f>k up and stop talking outta yer hole.
Meloni is nowhere near far-right, in fact she hasn’t even governed as a right-wing Prime Minister. She has become a cosmopolitan progressive nearly overnight and is now part of the centre-left EU establishment. She’s hiked up income, property and wealth taxes, assaulted the free-market by putting a “windfall tax” on banks to steal more money so that she can increase pensions and welfare to win votes, has made it clear that she is now pro-abortion by promising to “not to touch any abortion laws” even though she ran on protecting life, has increased subsides for renewable energy and has blocked all arms sales to Israel, repeating the same anti-Israel rhetoric that she has held over the years and winning praise from many pro-Hamas politicians. She’s a fraud and Italians should vote her out.
@Frank O’Hara: You’re so far to the right that you’re falling off the edge, which means that virtually everyone is to the left of you.
@Brendan O’Brien: Explain just one policy that Meloni has passed that makes her “far-right” Brendan. I’ll wait. I’ve just given you plentiful amounts of examples that she has governed as a centre-left establishment Prime Minister. You’re so far to the left that anyone remotely less radical than you is far-right. You try to quote Al-Jazeera yesterday to me, I think you’ve lost any semblance of credibility when it comes to your comments (not that you likely had any in the first place). Furthermore, please outline clearly how I myself are “far-right.” Be specific and succinct if that’s humanly possible for you.
Media try to use Far Right as a slur, it’s actually a compliment.
What makes her “far” right? As opposed to merely rightwing? As far as I can see her policies and actions thus far have been moderate and centrist.
Far Right?
Clearly The Journal don’t know the meaning of what they write about.
@J Cronin: Clearly you’re to ignorant to understand basic English.
@Ian: What a dummy. Someone who doesn’t know the difference between “to” and “too” is in absolutely no position to lecture someone else on basic English comprehension. You are a perfect example of a hypocritical bollox.
@Ian: Why did they change the headline then?…..
@Ian:
LOL…. “Too” not “to”. Basic English you dunce.
The left is finished and love to see it.
The fascists are making plans together.
@Jacintha Dumbrell: Name one thing Fascists the Italian PM has done? Jesus at least learn what fascism is before talking such tripe
@Ger Whelan: Don’t pay any attention to that sad tramp Ger. It’s an embarrassment. The dog in its profile pic sums it up perfectly.
@Marvin Dollery: Dehumanising someone by referring to them as ‘it’ … but you don’t like to be called ‘far right’.
@Marvin Dollery: there’s a nauseating bang of fash of you
@Ger Whelan: Read Umberto Eco’s essay ‘Ur-fascism’ and then consider yourself enlightened.
@Jacintha Dumbrell: Ah nice deflection I’ll ask you again to see if you will answer the actual question. Tell me one Fascist thing the Italian pm Giorgia Meloni has done?. How has she turned Italy into a fascist state? Please don’t deflect and answer what I asked.
Simon Harris will probably roll out his parties flirtations with the far right when he meets Trump as a way of cosying up to him.
So what, what’s the story here?
Giorgia Meloni is more of a centrist Meloni herself has framed her approach as “conservative” rather than radical, drawing comparisons to center-right leaders like Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan.
The Far Right label for anyone who is a nationalist,believes in family values and the Catholic Church,just like the founders of this country is becoming really tiresome.
This is getting tedious.
Anyone who who even ask’s a question of the “left”, are denounced as, the far right..
Give it up, for Fs sake.
The Journal once again show their bias.
Just look at the picture they have chosen of the Italian PM ,all in an effort the demonise the “Far Right”
Leftie/Woke Dictionary;
Someone who is Far Right is someone who doesn’t agree with what I say.
Leftie/Woke Dictionary;
Someone who’s a Bully is someone who doesn’t agree with what I say.
People these days talking left and right , without even knowing the difference..online forums , Facebook , and the like .
It is not a very edifying spectacle to see certain ( Orban is another) European politicians cosying up to Trump at his vulgar, tasteless pile in Florida. But, at least, Meloni is a much more nuanced and sophisticated politician than Trump, and she can speak several languages fluently. She has very sensibly and pragmatically moderated some of her earlier, more right-wing views.
@James Hanley: ‘the return of Donald Trump, while still posing significant problems for Italy, would likely heighten Meloni’s instincts towards radicalisation. Whenever Meloni has faced a choice, as she did when determining Italy’s position on the top jobs in Brussels, she has clearly preferred to look to the right. With Trump in the White House there would be little reason for her to do otherwise.’
