Zizzianeri ('Weeds'). Tangentopoli. How the state spreads its tentacles

While Pope Frankie was to be heard talking of gossips as "weeds" who can spring up anywhere just as Marx referred to Jewish potentates as ",living in the interstices of society (Capital,Volume One), I remark that only on Saturday last was I "entertained" by the two tramps,Brian Mc D. and Kevin W.,spreading slander in the Town's Diamond.

Everywhere we see riff-raff and scum sowing the seeds of sectarian recrimination, political backbiting, religious hatred and gang violence,typical of the cornerboys of Belfast and the loyalist cutthroats.

Ireland can never hope to be free while it is beguiled by these Pied Pipers who leave a trail of abandoned children and orphans behind them in W.' case and a trail of lottery tickets in the case of Mc D..

Gossip is how malicious people and spies keep control of journalists and left-wing politicos such as myself. A dwarf priest such as Martin Donnelly regularly breaks the secrecy of the confessional to feed gossip to his political allies in Sinn Fein. Father Joe Mc Veigh is a similar Nonsuch -priest.

The thing about riff-raff and scum is that like weeds,they can appear anywhere even in our immediate vicinity. I found that out when an old Provo crone from Derrylin was sent by Gordon Magrath,Hazel Farlowe and Graeme Kenny/Allen/ Mc Coy (alias Sean Farry) of the NIHE to the house next door to bang doors at 4 o' clock in the morning.

These pigs in the Housing Executive are untrammeled by proper regulation and a proper police response. The problem originated in Monaghan Irish Army base with Joe and Gaby Mc Laughlin and a madman from Leitrim,Liam Mc Girl of Ballinamore.

Hunger and dirt,1988-1992, Dublin

 St Teresa's Gardens,1989-1992

In St Teresa's Gardens,I saw very little evidence of crime or real anti-social behaviour.

This is proof positive that a listening ear and a kind word go a long way to mitigating social problems and dismay with the police.

Whatever you may say about thugs in the Central Detective Unit such as Mr. Mercedes Paddy Burke,the Dublin Gardai realised that it was better to stay out of areas where they were not wanted,something 303 deaths and thousands of injuries have not got into the thick skulls of the ennobled 'RUC/PSNI'.
