    A FINE Gael TD has accused Education Minister Ruairi Quinn and a prominent Labour deputy of wanting "a communist state" in Ireland.

    The comments from Cork East deputy Tom Barry come amid already heightened tensions between the coalition partners over the changes to means tests for college grants.

    Mr Barry also said Labour thinks farmers buy "tractors to go to Mass in – not that any of them would know the inside of a church anyway".

    I bet that Labour crowd are all wife-swapping sodomites as well. Grrrr.

    "Either they grow up or they can go their own way," Mr Barry said.

    Results of Red C poll in last Sunday's Sunday Business Post

    Projected result % seats
    FG 28.00% 50
    LP 12.00% 23
    FF 26.00% 45
    SF 16.00% 24
    ULA/SP* 2.70% 4
    GP 2.00% 1
    OTH* 13.30% 19
    100.00% 166

    Result of Labour doing as Mr Barry suggested = FG out of Goverment.
    Barry = Idiot ?

    I don't get it though. They don't really say why he is supposed to be communist? If he's removing funding that's like the exact opposite of communism surely.

    "not that any of them would know the inside of a church anyway"

    Tom Barry's opinion has instantly become irrelevant since he believes that someone's church attendance or lack thereof has any meaning.

    Sadly there is a seriously retrogressive rump within Fine Girl, the type that Alice Glenn used to lead and who just won't quite die off. Ruairi Quinn simply wants a modern education environment.

    He wants greater means testing on farmers kids for grants is it?

    That's not communist. Farming subsidies are more communist than that.

    No.

    No one would have a problem with means testing on income, myself included.

    However Labour were proposing including assets into the mix which is unfair given the very low profit margin in a lot of farming. Subsidies etc. are there to soften the blow of below cost production, they're not profit in themselves.

    So means testing on income, grand, on assets I'm with Mr Barry, they can fcuk off.

    Well then if I were a God fearing anti-communist like Mr. Barry I would suggest that that capital should be redeployed more effectively.

    Bertie wasn't a dictator, if he was we might even have something to show for his term in office. He was a leach that did nothing but look out for his own bank balance.

    Oh no, not "the banks" "the banks""the banks""the banks""the banks" excuse.......


    It is surely a component
    there is no way to deny
    But with a cuddly dictator
    We'd be made comply.
    The problem is you see,
    Unless we're told
    we are a nation
    incredibly bold

    He wasn't much better than a lot of them, start out with a decent little country with a lot of positives, absolutely destroy it, then regret when out of office he didn't build a huge monument to himself (the Bertie bowl).
