Once again I am debt to the indispensable 1690 an’ all thon .
Should you ever need an example of how not to speak in public the Democratic Unionist Party’s Jim Shannon offers a master class. After 52 seconds he breaks into what he claims is Ulster Scots.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch it.
A transcript can be found here.
He draws a handsome salary for this.
And yet, even with a face to connect with a voice, I’m still seeing Elmer Fudd talking.

Just saw this in your Google ad below the video:

You may wish to have a word with them regarding this. I do not know whether or not it is possible to prevent Google from displaying adverts from certain political viewpoints.

Incidentally, I’m viewing this from the United States, hence the reference ‘our ally’ and lobbying Congress.

I’ve has the same problem as a blogger, it’s with youtube (now owned by Google right?) not with the blogger. Some posters to youtube agree to have ads for a fee paid, even lefty ones like GritTV and they show up even in a repost. I have no idea how the ads displayed are decided on. I find that a lack of these ads denotes a decent outlet for news. You won’t find them on Democracy Now or The Real New, for example.

I just looked and the original poster is DUPchannel, so maybe the pimping for AIPAC and Israeli crimes was no chance, but done with pleasure…and for a fee.
