It is absolutely disgraceful and a violation of every form of decent human rights. I will also speak to another form of abuse of human rights, which relates to the former Clerys shop in the centre of Dublin. It was bought by a woman rescued by the Irish taxpayer and she failed to honour the pension obligations of Clerys staff. She turfed them out on their ear, including people who had been there for 40 years. Now she has made a profit of something like €30 million on the backs of these workers. It is the unacceptable face of capitalism.

I will finally comment on the state of British politics. God almighty. First there is the buffoonery of Boris Johnson and then there is the geriatric gyration of bloody Mrs. May. Thank God for Jeremy Corbyn, a man of intelligence, sensitivity to human rights and idealism.
