If one of those Liberal fools went to North Korea to preach peace he'd be simply disappeared. Its one less of them of the world. I see it as a win win

Cosgrave, another plastic luvvie. His moral grandstanding is performative. He gets off on judging others, it has nothing to do with any sense of morality or 'social justice'. He's pathetic & must believe people can't see through him.

Champagne Socialist.

But did you ask the outspoken Web Summit CEO about how he feels about the questionable practice of using “volunteers” rather than employees at major corporate events?

Irish wifi very bad. Qatari human-rights abuses and wide availability of 'volunteer' migrant labour ok.

There is money to be made in Qatar , why let human rights get in the way

Gobshite.

These so called 'well-documented human rights abuses' were just made up by the Guardian...

“And the Wi-Fi is brilliant” he added, “it’s powered by the life force of migrant workers”

Paddy also criticised the Irish tax system while using whatever methods he could in the US to do pretty much what he was moaning about happening in Ireland

That jumper is a human rights abuse

No conflict for sone of us who don’t believe in human rights or are willing to ignore it if it just ain’t happening with your business partners.

Doesn’t make sense Qatar is not a free country and he reckons ireland is corrupt when Qatar is so corrupt taking through both sides of his mouth

Does not make for pretty reading. ''Activists reported that six people were arbitrarily arrested by security officials and tortured and otherwise ill-treated for their sexual orientation.''
