It is not from a press release.<br /><br />2) You have obviously either not read any NGO financial statements if you believe that they all are "detailed" statements of income and spending.

Perhaps even more importantly than pathologising dissent (as Brendan O'Neill rightly, in my view, claims it does), it simply fails to capture the hatred at the heart of what is seeks to label.

Matt ...Matt's piece is a very poor analysis. <br /> <br />Matt disingenuously claims Minister McEntee said people in Ireland were tortured to death and beheaded in the past: "And the last time anyone was tortured to death and beheaded by someone in Ireland because of their sexuality was when exactly Minister?"
