“I stand with Enoch”.
I have been reading that online on various social media sites for the last two years, or thereabouts.
A few days ago I read online about a planned demonstration of support for Enoch Burke which was to take place yesterday outside Wilson’s Hospital School.
This morning, I read there was approximately 20 people in attendance.
Maybe the keyboard warriors stand, metaphorically, for Enoch. Perhaps that’s what they mean.
But when it comes to standing on a road in rural Westmeath on a cold January day it is a different matter. The professions of support ring hollow.
