No shit Sherlock
I am appealing to my Irish readers.
Well, that’s not strictly true as the vast majority of you are not living here [lucky sods], so most Irish don’t find me appealing.
Anyway, this is for the few who do live here.
You may have heard that one of our ministers [a little cunt by the name of Sherlock] is trying to implement a bill that will effectively hand over control of the Interweb to our gubmint and the music industry. It is essentially the same as the American SOPA thing in that they can shut down a site if they don’t like its content.
Seeing as our shower are just puppets for the EU, that means we hand over control to Brussels. They claim that it’s to prevent copyright infringement, but knowing the EU, it will go much further than that. Even this humble little site could be under threat as once or twice [*cough*] I have said a few things that could be construed to be anti-EU.
In a few days, they hope to implement this bill without even a vote [democracy at its best again?] so there ain’t much time.
The only way we can stop this is by lobbying. and that is very simple.
Get your arses over to Stop SOPA Ireland and sign the petition.
It has occurred to me that they can’t tell the nationality of the signature if the email address is a .com but of course I would never ask all you non-Irish .coms to sign now, would I? [*cough cough*]
So do you want the likes of EMI to dictate what sites we visit? Do you trust our gubmint? Do you trust the EU?
If the answer to any of those is no, then sign the damned thing.
If the answer to any of those is yes, then you are nothing short of a fucking moron.
So just sign the fucking thing.
OK?
Or would you like to see me wiped off the airwaves?
I signed that a few days ago when Sweary Lady tweeted about it. The site wouldn’t let me sign again.
Page wont show here, flashes for one second then blank! It’s not April 1st already is it?
Just signed up now – thanks for the link.
As as Irish Times reader said today:
“Free access to information on the Internet, independent of the whims of large, powerful private interests is not a “loophole in the law”. It is a freedom which must be promoted and protected”
Brianf – Fair play! Sure aren’t you more Irish than most of the sods who live here?
Not Green – I just tried it again and it’s working perfectly for me?
Mossy – That reader is spot on. In modern times freedom of expression is absolutely vital. Handing any control to any government would be catastrophic as it would be the thin edge of the wedge.
I’ve signed it a thousand times, but I hacked back into the system and signed it a thousand times more for ya. Indeed, I left a tiny cookie in there givng you the credit; you should soon be more famous than you already are…
Heh! Thanks Nick.
Actually Grandad, your readers might consider taking route 1, and write directly to the little weasel himself at: sean.sherlock@oir.ie
Or do both? Even better!
46211 now Grandad, have passed it on.
Yes Iv signed pity some of these criminal politicians in Ireland dont get what Gillard got in Australia. She’s another of the NWO carbon tax whores.

i am not signing it. Ireland is far too liberal a country as it is. A bit of censorship is long overdue.
Just check out this Sherlock I see he’s a member of the Irish Liebour party why am I not surprised…gobshi**.
You know…writing the guy is a good idea.
I did that over here, even penned a missive to Obama. Next thing I know, a couple days later, my little girls have minders; solem, sturdy men adorned with dark glasses, ear pieces and – judging by their ill fitting suits – access to large bore handguns. They follow the girls everywhere.
And just this morning the missus said she saw a couple of similar guys following her in and out of the grocers, picking up the cleaning, etc etc etc.
It’s a wonderful use of my tax dollars, keeping the family safe…
Jan M – 48044 and climbing!
Peacock – Jayzus but Yer Woman was in more danger from her bodyguards than from any protesters. The press made a real meal of it. She lost her shoe??!! WOW. And Sherlock is indeed a gobshite in every sense of the word. Heh!
TT – You’ll be first on the banned list. It works both ways y’know?
Doc – Don’t I have my own battalion of CIA camped outside my place since the Bush days? I keep telling ’em that Manhattan Power and Light on their van is a bit of a giveaway but will they listen?
Signed it. Count now at 50,600. What a larf!
Heh, signed it again (different email address). Count now at 51,048. Looking good!
“Mossy – That reader is spot on. In modern times freedom of expression is absolutely vital. Handing any control to ant government would be catastrophic as it would be the thin edge of the wedge.”
ANT government, I knew they were organised but fucking hell mate the little bastards will be crawling everywhere, poking their little feelers into issues about which they have no clue, wait a minute…
tt now all growed up and coming of age having pupated into TT, welcome to the adult world, now all you have to do is find someone ugly enough and drunk enough to steal your cherry – don’t fucking look at me you gormless twat.
Oh for fuck’s sake. Even my spell checker had no problem with that. Go back to trying to annoy TT.
52707 now.
It’s tt not TT. Always. It’s GD puts TT. Fer fucks sake how hard can it be?
Is that a capital crime?
Came across this tonight, hope it works lollllll
Will try again,

skip the climate thingie, have found you lollll
56,270
Still climbing.
Thanks, Jan M! 😀 Actually he is on my feeder thingy anyway. Have to have my daily drop of Filthy.
I just saw now all 22 EU Forth Reich member states have signed ACTA global internet censorship bill. Barry O Bama has also signed the same act bypassing the Senate to ink an agreement that could allow Chinese companies to demand ISPs remove web content in the US with no legal oversight.
Wont be long now till any sites criticizing governments or the EU will be shut down. What they criticized China for they are now doing themselves. Watch out Grandad for that early morning knock on your door.
They’ll have to get past Herself first!
And anyway, what makes you think I am critical of the EU? [*shower of power crazed money grubbing cunts*]
58,472 and counting…..
59,071 now.
Sorry I’m late to the party.
Meltemian – Better late than never. Already the campaign is having results. Sherlock has been forced into an open debate!
I knew Sherlock’s auld fella, and he would go wherever the wind blew! If the son is anything like him he will take heed of people power. Lots of first preferences in that tally!
