A view of the world from an Irish hole

More news from the Narco-state

A report carried by the BBC on the Africa page of its news website tells how the attorney-general of Guinea-Bisssau has received death-threats in response to his investigations into the discovery of half a kilogram of cocaine on board a plane that landed at Bissau’s international airport. These threats have emanated from senior politicians as well as military and security officials in the West African nation. This points to how far the country’s feeble infrastructure has been infiltrated by international drug smugglers.

Yet we in dear old sleepy Ireland need not be so complacent, especially here in Cavan. Hardly a week has passed since the seizure of a large haul of cocaine near Kilnaleck. As attempts by criminals to infiltrate local government are not unknown here might we see Cavan become a “narco county”?

Traffic jams

The latest piece of news from the hole is that there was a serious traffic jam this morning in Ballinag. Such an unwanted aspect of modernity has caused understandable anger and frustration. It is indeed like something from the Prophecy. Next ther4′ll be women going around dressed as men, men dressed as women, blokes holding hands in public ( no that’s Ballyjamesduff), not to mention drugs being handed out to kids. Where is it all going to end? Something’s got to give. (Personally I blame the Pope.)
