Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v2.0

vicwatson

Lucinda Creton has this smirk on her face all the time, she doesn't give two ****s about the electorate and needs a smack in the gob to take that "fook you" smirk away me thinks :mad::mad:

I rate Lucinda highly. She's cool and intelligent - well able for Vinnie's bullying.

There must be two Lucinda Creightons then ????

Was Willie looking for a banking transactions tax ? The little prick was part of the crowd that caused the problem. How can anyone listen to him suggesting how to solve it. He should be put out on a deserted island with the rest of his crew and left there.

With his gun and one bullet

Catherine Murphy is mumbling and stumbling her way through her sentences tonight for some reason.. I can only presume that she got the (56 hour) audiobook from Marc Coleman, "Effective Public *cough* Speaking"

vicwatson

What's with Creton's "frown" - like as if she knows what she is talking about and is actually serious about politics :mad:

Sure Vincent Lucinda doesnt give a toss about the state having to pay 5 Billion per year when she'll be sitting somewere on her big fat pension. Sick to death of politicians and their crap.

I am going to vote no on this Treaty. Mainly because they will close every Hospital in the Country in order to make the Budget, rather than go near the untouchable Civil Servants Pay and Pensions.

The Croke Park Agreement was odeous, and the Government will probably get a similar one to replace it when it runs out.

Katherine Lynch is the grossly unfunny RTE2 Comedian, that is Kildare's own Catherine Murphy TD on your Telly right now

Lucinda has such a horribly arrogant manner to her and seems to talk down to anyone who asks her a reasonable question. Can't wait for her to lose her seat.

tayto lover

Is Lucinda married ?
I wouldn't like to go home to that one and tell her that I lost the wages on a horse. She'd be a vicious little vixen i'd say.

Married to a lad who's about 20 years her senior if I remember correctly. The cap fits though really as sitting next to Catherine Murphy the two women look around the same age even though Murphy is around twice Cretin's age

From wiki

She is married to Fine Gael Senator Paul Bradford.

That would be an interesting conversation, if she votes to abolish the Seanad

I'm really surprised to read the comments regarding Lucinda here. I'd like to precede this statement by saying I'm certainly no feminist but it seems to me that when it comes to women in politics, it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.

In this case, Lucinda is being lambasted for merely doing her job and speaking with more insight regarding European policies than most of her male contemporaries. I understand that this might upset delicate Dáil and electorate egos but there's no denying that she's a formidable representative on the international stage and for that reason, I see no cause to slate her

I like Catherine. She seems sensible. Havn't seen her much on telly before.

I'd rather Clare Daly
I think its Lucinda's smug and sneering manner and not the fact that she is a female that annoys people.

Her manner is brusque and arrogant, her tone condescending and her constant pulling of faces and rolling her eyes to heaven when asked reasonable questions is a horrible trait for a politician (or indeed anyone else to have).

Apart from that she's alright.

Please get a grip, its because she talks absolute crap and comes across as a Toff! Man or woman i dislike this character.

Where did I say that? Did you miss the part where I said Lucinda is being lambasted for executing her duties to a more superior standard than her contemporaries -but don't let that stand in the way of your really substantial, sensationlist response

I think that Catherine Murphy and Peadar Tobin (regrettably) had the best performance tonight.

Untouchable doesn't fit either as they have already been touched.

Toibin is a very good speaker in fairness. Lucinda has that look on her again like "how can you lot be so stupid" kind of look.

Please get a grip yourself. Fair enough if people don't like Lucinda's personal mannerisms but comes across as toff? See, this is precisely what I mean -let's send her out to mingle with Merkel and Co. in an Arran jumper and a Kerry accent shall we -would you be happy then?

I'd love nothing more than to vote No against this Treaty but where do you people think the money to run this country is going to come from, if not Europe? Because I'd really love to know and that's a genuine question

I think it might be something to do with where you said;

".....but it seems to me that when it comes to women in politics, it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't."
