Interesting thread in Irish on politics.ie has been stifled by David Cochrane who says that such dicussion should take place IN ENGLISH!!!!!

Cá bhfuil baill politics.ie imithe? or

Where are the politics.ie members gone?




The thread asking where have all the politics.ie posters gone in a discussion on the Gaeilge (Irish language ) forum has been posted on by Cochrane. Cochrane of course wrote on the thread as Bearla (in English).

Dev&Ed discussions should not take place here, or in Irish.

Cochrane might have told our native Irish speakers that he had banned half the posters missing since two weeks back because of the political pro Tory, pro Bush, anti Irish nature of the site's editorial policy which is being pushed by a cadre of former Libertas employees who are his pals.


Some posters on the thread ask where have the posters gone well nearly 50 have joined the civilised new forum TOK. Life on politics.ie since the mass bannings is boring and without any debate.

Now Irish people are being told they can't debate in their own language.

See my posts below or here for more on the death of politics.ie.
There is an Irish language forum on TOK
