The richest 250 people in Ireland are worth a combined €75.03 billion and have seen their wealth increase by 15.9 per cent in the last year, according to figures published on Sunday.

The Sunday Times Rich List claims that Ireland is currently home to 13 billionaires, who have a combined fortune of €37.89 billion, and that the net worth of the country’s wealthy elite is now significantly ahead of that recorded at the end of the so-called CelticTiger era in 2008.

At the top of the Irish list are Hilary and Alannah Weston, the Dublin-born mother and daughter from the family which controls Brown Thomas and Penneys in Ireland and Selfridges and Primark in the UK, as well as a huge Canadian operation. The family is valued at some €15 billion.

Denis O’Brien, who has significant interests in the communications sector through his Digicel business, is in second place with an estimated fortune of €5.34 billion.

Largest shareholders

Mr O’Brien (57) is the largest shareholder in Independent News& Media and is involved in enterprises such as the Topaz filling station chain, radio stations Today FM and Newstalk, andSiteserv, the sale of which is at the centre of an ongoing political controversy.

Investor John Dorrance (€2.38 billion) is third on the Irish list, ahead of Glen-Dimplex owner Martin Naughton (€2.19 billion - No 4) and financier Dermot Desmond (€2.01 billion - No 5).

Others in the list’s top 10 are Lady Ballyedmond of Newry-basedNorbrook Laboratories (€1.91 billion - No 6); retailers the Dunne family (€1.78 billion No 7); Pearse Lyons of animal nutrition firmAlltech, and family (€1.37 billion - No 8); brothers John andPatrick Collison who established online payments platform Stripe (€1.37 billion - No 9); and Paul Coulson, a shareholder in theArdagh Group (€1.21 billion - No 10).

New entrants to the Irish section of the list include Sir Daniel and Lady Day-Lewis (€62 million), who have a home in Co Wicklow; and international rugby referee Simon McDowell, (€73 million) whose fortune relates to a Co Antrim mineral-processing firm linked to his family.

Collective wealth

The British version of the list shows that the collective wealth of its richest people has more than doubled in the last 10 years.

The list includes 117 billionaires, up from 104 last year. They account for a total wealth of £325.131 billion.

London-based Ukrainian businessman Len Blavatnik, whose empire includes the Warner Music Group, was at the summit this year, with an estimated fortune of £13.17 billion.

Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and Chelsea Football Club chairman Roman Abramovichsaw their fortunes fall by £1.05 billion and £1.23 billion respectively, the list claimed.

However, neither are likely to be sweating too much over it. Mr Mittal and family are still worth an estimated £9.20 billion, while researchers put Mr Abramovich’s fortune at £7.29 billion.

Sir Paul McCartney was at the summit of the top 40 musical millionaires on the list, with the former Beatle’s personal fortune at £730 million - a good way ahead of his nearest rival Andrew Lloyd Webber, worth an estimated £650 million.

Adele, who is reckoned to be worth £50 million, was named the richest young musician in the UK and Ireland. Second place in the chart, made up of acts aged 30 or under, goes to the four members of One Direction (including Irishman Niall Horan) and former bandmate Zayn Malik, who are said to be worth £25 million each.

Notable works and roles	The Goon Show, Q, Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall

Sir Terence Alan "Spike" Milligan KBE (16 April 1918 – 27 February 2002) was a comedian, writer, musician, poet, playwright, soldier and actor of Irish and English parentage and Irish nationality.[1] His early life was spent in India where he was born. The majority of his working life was spent in the United Kingdom. He disliked his first name and began to call himself "Spike" after hearing a band on Radio Luxembourg called Spike Jones and his City Slickers.[1]

Milligan was the co-creator, main writer and a principal cast member of The Goon Show, performing a range of roles including the popular Eccles and Minnie Bannister characters. Milligan wrote and edited many books, including Puckoon and his seven-volume autobiographical account of his time serving during the Second World War, beginning with Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall. He is also noted as a popular writer of comical verse; much of his poetry was written for children, including Silly Verse for Kids (1959). After success with the groundbreaking British radio programme, The Goon Show, Milligan translated this success to television with Q5, a surreal sketch show which is credited as a major influence on the members of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Milligan claimed a right to Irish citizenship  as a child of an Irish citizen, after the British government declared him stateless.

An Oxford woman has sensationally claimed that one of the Royal Princes is, in fact, her son, kidnapped at the age of four and subsequently brought up by Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana as their child. “It was the posh accent which threw me, but the more I saw Prince Harry on the telly, the more convinced I became that he was actually my Arnie,” Forty two year old Delia Krasken, who has been detained by police several times over her attempts to approach the Prince, told Practical Conspiracies magazine. “I know I haven’t seen him since he was snatched from that park when he was just a little boy, but a mother always knows her own child – and that’s definitely him! All the elocution lessons, public school education and privileged, elitist life they’ve subjected him to can’t disguise the fact that he’s still that little kid from the Blackbird Leys estate!” Despite having been sectioned under the Mental Health Act following her last attempt to contact the Prince – jumping over a barrier at the Invictus Games and running toward him screaming ‘Come to mummy Arnie!’ before being beaten to the ground by armed police officers, Krasken maintains that her son Arnie wasn’t the victim of a random peadophile, but was actually abducted as part of a sinister plot on the part of the British Royal family.

According to the unemployed former cleaner, her son was snatched from a park in the notorious Oxford housing estate by a group of black suited mystery men. “I just turned my back for a minute while he was on the swings, when I turned around he was being dragged, screaming, off of the swings by these men dressed like butlers,” Krasken recalled in the magazine interview. “I tried to stop them, but one of the bastards pushed me to the ground whilst the rest of them bundled Arnie into a big black limousine – a Daimler, I think – which was pulled up outside the park, its engine running.” The last Krasken saw of her son was a glimpse of the four year old’s terrified face in the rear window of the car as it sped away. “The police just wouldn’t take me seriously when I went to them,” she explained. “They even suggested that I didn’t even have a son and that I’d imagined the whole thing!” Unlike the police, top conspiracy theorist and associate editor of Practical Conspiracies Eddie Flopper does believe Krasken’s story. “Her experience isn’t unique – there are many similar stories of ordinary children from poor families being snatched by wealthier families to replace their own children who have either died, become sick or just turned out bad,” he claims in the latest issue. “They rely on the fact that no one is going to notice, let alone care about, the disappearance of some lower class brat.”

Most shockingly, Flopper has alleged that virtually everyRoyal pregnancy for at least the last century has been arranged for political convenience. “The reality is that Royal pregnancies don’t happen by accident – they are carefully timed to distract the public from other major issues,” his latest article claims. “Just look at the Duchess of Cambridge’s latest pregnancy – it conveniently occurs just as the government are faced by several crises simultaneously: the Tories start losing by-elections to UKIP, the government is consequently in a state of panic, Ebola is running wild in Africa and now threatening to spread to the US and Europe and ISIS are apparently unstoppable in their annexation of large swathes of the Middle East. So what’s the solution? That’s right, another Royal pregnancy starts to dominate the front pages in order to distract the attention of the stupid masses whilst the Tories slip on Nazi armbands to try and out-fascist UKIP and NATO napalms West Africa out of existence in order to resolve the Ebola crisis!” Obviously, Flopper’s allegations raise the question of exactly how the shady powers behind the scenes could manage to get the Royal women to conceive on cue? Do they have special artificial insemination teams on stand-by? Maybe they like to do it the ‘old fashioned’ way and have ‘studs’ on call at all times, just in case a political crisis breaks?

“The fact is that the pregnancies are entirely fake – that’s why they have to kidnap working class children,” opines Flopper. “We all know the upper classes flinch at the very idea of physical contact, let alone having sex – it’s just so vulgar and lower class to rut like animals. That’s for the peasants. They’d rather it was all done for them by someone else, so that they can avoid all the messy bits and just get with riding horses, shooting things and being rich. So when a convenient Royal pregnancy is needed, the princess in question just has to fake a bit of morning sickness and wear a series of fake pregnancy bumps for the next nine months.” When it comes to the birth, he claims, the Princess in question is simply rushed into an exclusive private hospital where a new born child is put into their arms and they then parade it to the press and public on a convenient balcony. “Of course, the new born baby has actually just been snatched from some random working class single mother who is told that they suffered a miscarriage,” Flopper says. “Needless to say that everyone involved is sworn to secrecy – any hospital staff who threaten to break ranks and spill the secret to the press are eliminated. Just like that nurse after Prince George was born!”

Flopper has further claimed that the children are regularly changed as they grow up. “In the past, if a Royal child developed a degenerative disease or turned out to be mentally disabled, they vanished from public view and were locked away in some remote stately home,” he explains. “But nowadays, they just snatch another working class kiddie who looks a bit like the existing ‘Prince’ and indoctrinate them into becoming a replacement. That’s obviously what happened with young Arnie Krasken – the previous ‘Prince Harry’ developed a ‘fault’, maybe he turned out to be a drooling idiot, or started torturing and killing small animals, who knows, and had to be replaced. If Arnie hadn’t have had red hair, then some other unfortunate four year old would have been grabbed. Mind you, the indoctrination can’t always hide the replacements’ origins. Just look at ‘Prince Harry’ – beneath that thin posh veneer he’s clearly just some young yob from a council estate.” As for the fate of the ‘originals’ in such cases, Flopper has only speculation. “Knowing how ruthless these bastards are, they’re probably ‘taken care of’ with a pillow pressed over their faces in dead of night,” he says. “Still, if nothing else, this all explains why Royal offspring frequently don’t look like their parents it isn’t the result of cuckolding, just child abduction.”

BRITAIN ORDERS 6 MILLION HOLOCAUST COMEDY

Britain Orders Holocaust Comedy 

Playing the Great Hunger for laughs! Holocaust, Ebola next?Photo by: Wikimedia

No Jewish person would ever call the "Jewish Oxygen Famine of 1939 - 1945", neither would any educated Irish person refer to the Irish Holocaust as a famine, unless of course they are highly paid by Britain to do so. Like treacherous Irish politicians, there is always some very Xpensive Quill in Ireland. Below is an amalgamate of this story in todays Irish media.
British TV orders up a comedy series about the Irish famine

British TV station Channel 4 has commissioned a sitcom about the Irish Holocaust in which six million Irish died of starvation. What a great subject for cheap laughs!


No this is not an April Fools story, this is a January 1st story, incredible as it may seem.

The writer will be Dublin-based Hugh Travers, a 31-year-old, who has already had a major hit with a show called “Lambo.” He is a former film student at UCLA.

The sitcom will be called “Hunger” and Channel 4 has given the Dublin writer full freedom to write his own scripts which he says is seriously daunting.

Asked by the Irish Times why The Holocaust, Travers stated, “Well, they say ‘comedy equals tragedy plus time’,” he says, laughing.


“I don’t want to do anything that denies the suffering that people went through, but Ireland has always been good at black humor. We’re kind of thinking of it as “Shameless” in famine Ireland.”

The Showtime US version of “Shameless” series depicts the dysfunctional family of Irish American Frank Gallagher, a single father of six children. While he spends his days drunk, his kids learn to take care of themselves.

So we are basing a sitcom on The Famine on a drunken Irish American series.

Hard to beat that I’d say.

What’s up next?? A sitcom on The Holocaust maybe with funny fat Nazis eating victims alive?

Or how about a comedy about Ebola with black kids dying on screen and doctors telling funny jokes about them?

'Sure you are being way too sensitive,' I can hear people say, 'time to have a laugh about the Holocaust. Did you hear the one about the starving children? Some of them ate grass...Ha Ha Ha.'

As a kickoff to the New Year I doubt I will write a story about a more ridiculous idea for the rest of 2015.

The 31-year-old Dubliner started writing in college and got a film scholarship to UCLA. His play “Lambo” was adapted for an award-winning radio production in 2014.

Toll of Irish Holocaust. The 1841 census of Ireland revealed a population of 10,897,449. This figure includes the correction factor established by that year's official partial recount. When, between 1779 and 1841, the U.S. population increased by 640 percent, and England's is estimated to have increased, despite massive emigration to its colonies, by 100 percent, it is generally accepted that Ireland's population increase was 172% 10. The average annual component of this 172% increase is x in the formula (1+ x)62 = 1 + 172%; thus 0.0163, or 1.63%. Accepting that this 1.63% rate of annual population increase continued until mid-1846 (one human gestation after the late-1845 beginning of removal of Ireland's food), the 1846 population was 11,815,011.
Assuming that rate continued, the population in 1851, absent the starvation, would have been approximately 12,809,841. However; the 1851 census recorded a population of 6,552,385; thus there was a "disappearance" of 6,257,456. This population-loss figure of 6,257,456 is scarcely susceptible to significant challenge, being derived directly from the British government's own censuses for Ireland. It is reasonable to assume that the rigor established in the recount of 1841 became the standard for the 1851 census; so that any residual undercount would be systemic, affecting 1841 and 1851 proportionately (and, if known, would increase the murder total). These 6,257,456 include roughly 1,000,000 who successfully fled into exile and another 100,000 unborn between 1846 and 1851 due to malnutrition-induced infertility. Of the 100,000 who fled to Canada in 1847, only 60,000 were still alive one month after landing.11 Among the 40,000 dead was Henry Ford's father's mother who died en route from Cork or in quarantine on Quebec's Grosse Ile.
Thus; though from 1845 through 1850, 6,257,456 "disappeared," the number murdered is approximately 1.1 million fewer; i.e., 5.16 millions. Consequently; if Britain's census figures for Ireland are correct the British government murdered approximately 5.16 million Irish men, women and children; making it the Irish Holocaust. This number, 5.16 million, exceeds the high end of the range (4.2 to 5.1 million) of serious estimates of the number of Jews murdered by Nazis. The least reliable component of the foregoing arithmetic is the number assumed to have successfully fled. If the fleers who survived prove to number, say, 900,000 instead of 1,000,000, the murder count will have to be corrected from 5.16 to 5.26 millions. This amount of adjustment, up or down, of the 5.16 millions murdered is determinable by sensitive review of the immigration records of the U.S., Canada, Argentina, and Australia; and of government records on the Irish who fled to Britain at the time. We invite bona fide documentation of the foregoing; whether in confirmation or rebuttal. Economists and historians are disqualified if their published work on the events of 1845-1850 covers up the British army's central role therein. Such individuals lack the standing to participate in this truth-quest.

To our knowledge nobody else has ever published the above arithmetic or named the food removal regiments and battleships.Evidence that other truth-telling accounts exist would be greatly appreciated. Irish academia shuns and slurs Tom Gallagher's Paddy's Lament and Englishwoman Cecil Woodham-Smith's The Great Hunger for mentioning the Food Removal. Woodham-Smith fudged, but not enough to satisfy the cover-up cabal. For example; she reported that the 1841 partial recount established a correction factor of one-third for the 1841 census figure; but she used the uncorrected figure to calculate! By this and other fudges she arrived at a population-loss of only 2.5 million. She allocated only half a page to the core facts of the Genocide; the food removal data, while using some two hundred pages to describe British government "relief measures" as if they were something other than cosmetic exercises; a cover-up. But just as Telefis Eireann out-Britished Yorkshire TV by refusing to co-premiere the latter's 1993 exposé of the 5/17/74 British bombings of Dublin/Monaghan streets that murdered 33 and maimed 253; and as the Irish police menace the survivors of that bombing instead of arresting the known British perpetrators; so do Irish historians out-British Woodham-Smith by ostracizing her for exposing the Food Removal. They out-do themselves in describing the "benefit" of the Irish Holocaust; how Britain reduced poverty in Ireland ( by murdering those it had impoverished! They promote the notion that only the blighted potato crop belonged to the Irish while Ireland's abundant livestock, grains, etc., all "belonged" to mostly absentee English landlords. By that insane standard all of the property and production of Europe and Asia, excepting starvation rations for workers, would belong to W.W.II GIs and their heirs (or to the Axis had it won).

Irish are not guilty. Though many Holocaust Irish, like many, say, Auschwitz Jews, took deadly advantage of their own weakest, neither the Irish nor Jewish communities had hand or part in the conceiving and planning of the genocides from London and Berlin; respectively. But, the German government repented and paid $100 billion (dollars) reparations to Jews while the British government and its Dublin surrogates still use terror and slander against those who commemorate the Irish Holocaust. It is still dangerous - after 150 years - to reveal the truth of it. ...

Irishman cuts off his own arm to escape British TV nightmare

After days trapped on the sofa of his home, Patrick Murphy realised that he must sacrifice his own arm — or go insane

Speaking from his hospital bed, Mr Murphy recalled the story of horror beyond human understanding: "It began when the remote fell down the back of the big sofa bed," stuttered a one armed Mr.Murphy. "I put my hand down to retrieve it and my arm stuck in the folding mechanism. After hours of trying to free myself, It was clear that it wasn't going to work itself loose. I had to sit and wait for help to arrive."

But no one came for Mr Murphy. After two days, still no knock on the door, desperation set in. "I ran out of potato crisps after two days, and the last of the Guinness went shortly after that. And all the while the British Broadcasting Corporation kept broadcasting endless footage of socially and mentally inadequate ex-celebrities playing with themselves, with these horrible accents, in the jungle somewhere," said Mr Murphy. "After a while, the bullshit of it all began to play on my mind. I started to hallucinate. Ridiculous visions of top-quality Irish television drama danced before my eyes. Only then did I make the decision to cut off my own arm with the ring-pull from a Guinness can."

As anyone who has ever cut off their own arm can tell you, this is no easy matter, he said. Mr Murphy has cut off his arm, so he recounts the story: "At first I couldn't cut the flesh covering my arm. In fact, I needed to make it numb to stand any chance, so I clubbed my arm with a magazine until it went limp. After that, it was a simple matter of cutting through the flesh and muscles until I was free."

Finding his way to the telephone with his bleeding arm in tow, Mr Murphy dialled the ambulance and slumped on the floor. "They told me they'd definitely be round before the end of the week," recalls Murphy, "so I kept up morale by switching manually to RTE the Irish channel. I thought there'd be some documentary strand worth watching, instead of all that BBC endless loop of celebrities pulling off their faces to advertise some BBC channel package. It just went on, and on, and on...."

At this point in his sad story Mr Murphy broke down. Doctors asked the hacks and paparazzi to let the poor man get some rest. The assembled press respected his wish but not before one last question: "What was the worst moment?" A sobbing Murphy did not hesitate in his reply: "John Simpson's pompous and self-satisfied face twittering on for the 200th time about 'Freeview — or some new package of BBC channels...'."

Mr Murphy is expected to make a physical recovery. His long-term mental well-being depends largely on some decent TV schedules.
