    what is his 'disability' ? The social welfare should be having a good hard look at his case. He seems to be well able to get around to all these protests anyway

    disability won't always stop someone from getting where they need to go. of course it will be more difficult depending on the disability involved. i wouldn't use going to protests as a measure of disability tbh.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    he seems to love talking, and able to get himself around the city with ease. perhaps a call centre job would suit John, 'disability' permitting of course ?

    I remember he 'fell' into a hole or something while out protesting about water charges ...a further waste more of states(taxpayers) time and money getting an ambulance...sure theres loads more where that came from..but at least his pitiful sense of self importance got a boost..thats all that seems to matter.

    you are assuming an employer would employ him. he deserves a chance as much as the next person but we do have to be realistic in terms of the attitude of some if not many employers.

    i wouldn't be a fan of the man myself and i disagree with him on a number of issues (bar water charges which i completely agree with him on) but one is entitled to protest something they disagree with and if an ambulance was required to take him to hospital then it should be provided. if it wasn't required but provided then that should be investigated.

    I'm fairly certain that the ambulance wasn't needed.Its the self righteous indignation thing with this guy that annoys me.Like he has some moral superiority, that his attention seeking nonsence is so feckin worthy.. ..when it seems to me that he's happy to live off the rest of us mugs.

    if you have evidence that an ambulance was provided in circumstances in which it shouldn't have been then you need to report it to the relevant authorities so they can investigate the issue.

    He claims the Irish water workers knocked him to the ground then played the injured man on the ground and was taken away by ambulance only to be discharged from hospital shortly after. I think we can safely say that there was f all wrong with him other than attention seeking.

    He was Just on with PJ on 96fm trying to be controversial and backing up George Hook.

    Also looking for a Pat on the back for not raping and murdering a drunk woman who he picked up one night and dropped home because she put her hand on his cøck.

    Christ you couldn't write this stuff.

    He's on with PJ again saying the protestors should block the gates to Apple in Hollyhill so they get nothing done.

    They must be hard up for callers to have this moron on so often.

    Of course not, they ring him.
    The guy has to be playing it for lolz now at this stage.

    He was on 96FM recently when PJ was off and his stand in proclaimed "Ah John you must get mad at everything". He doesn't , just what they tell him too. He fills their shows nicely both by him calling and the reactions to his call.

    That bum has benefitted from state handouts for years... funny now he's cheerleading for people whose mantra is essentially pay your own way.. But hey this is s clown/tinpot fascist who will take any chance to boost his notions of self importance... I think his new buddies call it virtue signalling.
