Words escape me.

We all know Constance Markievicz was a woman, right? And that she didn't die in 1916, yeah?

A woman yes,died in 1916 no.

Think_then_talk

A sure she was one of the Lads.
"Don’t trust to your ‘feminine charm’ and your capacity for getting on the soft side of men, but take up your responsibilities and be prepared to go your own way depending for safety on your own courage, your own truth and your own common sense, and not on the problematic chivalry of the men you may meet on the way…."

Wiki told me she died in 1927.

So.. You had to look her up on Wiki yet yet words escape you about his ignorance of her....

And where did I accuse anyone of ignorance?

I never heard of her until yesterday.

I didn't have to check Wiki... ^ he did. Apology accepted.

Your man nodding in the background just clarify's how many sheep there are in protest movements who'll believe anything out of some peoples mouths.

Who is the publicity seeking muppet anyway, sounds like he was taught irish history by Nigel Farrage:D

Apologies, misread OP's name.

overshoot

saw it on the news, it was on of those things; did he just say he? and that she died in the rising... ah he couldnt be that moronic playing the patriot card and clearly be clueless

saw this morning tho that the shouted something along the lines of "run away ya british feckers like in 1916" when they were still trying to run the auction... yep, the massive military success that was 1916 :rolleyes:
edit:They missed a chance with the Castlebar races!

Peregrine

I lost all hope in these populist patriot 'English scum out' and 'Kill the gubbermint' politicians/public figures when I heard that.


Countess Constance Markievicz not Constant Markievicz

Her life not his life

She didn't die in 1916, no. She died in her home beside her family in 1927.

Also the Brits never ran away in 1916


Ben of house Gilroy standing beside him nodding at everything he says, both confident in what they're saying..that's hilarious.

How embarrassing.

Guy looks like his dream to be a lead singer in a band didn't work out, nor did the career as a DJ... I love his speaking style, it's a real let-me-clear-things-up-for-you-style.

Sheep?

Oh no sir!

That's Freeman on the land, Ben of House Gilroy. Leader of the political party Direct Democracy Ireland. He came fourth in the Meath-East by-election.


Worrying, very worrying.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Who is this D'Arcy guy? Is he associated with Gilroy?

intellectual dosser

Must be plant by the other side.....its amazing how one fool can rip up the entire argument of one side.

Did he used to be on Fair City by any chance?
Or childrens TV in the 80s?

He looks vaguely familiar for some reason.

He was a developer. Owes AIB €14.7m

Early in the year he claimed or 'discovered' (said his supporters) that AIB was apparently operating without a license.

They're only playing to their target audience, people who don't worry about such things as historical fact and rational thought.

Nobody could be as ignorant, idiotic and hypocritical as them.




Could they?

Taxi driver turned property developer. I'm sure if he'd been around in the 1600s, he'd have been into selling tulip bulbs.

Him and Gilroy would run in the same pseudo-lawyer circles; pretending to have defeated "De Banks" by causing them minor inconvenience, selling false hope to people in dire straits, making bad sitations worse, making up law to suit their ends and so on.

My name is URL

Fcuking cringe

RossFixxxed

Will you guys actually sit down and learn some history, and not from bloody wiki. Jesus wept.

Constanceance Markovitch was a man, who had a sex change in 1900. HE died in 1916 when a UFO crashed into the GPO where he was holding a beard competition. He came back as a Zombie until 1927 when De Valera finally took out his brain, and he died with his family at his side saying 'braaaaaaaaaaainnnns'.

Is not that hard to figure out is it?

Direct Democracy Ireland, the gift that keeps on giving!!

These leftie groups that keep springing up are frikkin hilarious.

El Guapo!

Ben "the gimp" Gilroy has a very punchable face.

vitani

Saw that on the news yesterday evening. Real 'did he really just say that?' moment.

I love how RTE chose to air it anyway though. Either they knew it would go viral, or they just wanted to show the protesters up.

DDI are a very, very right wing group pretending to be lefties. Read the election material earlier in the year when Gilroy was running up here, there's a stink of GOP-esque policy about them.

fcuking morons.

Split myself laughing at that on the news yesterday. I think RTE saw the funny side too.

I hope so, I'd like to think someone in RTE knew exactly what they were doing by running that particular part of his rant.

The confidence in him as he says it makes it all the better

Lol, what a pair of pathetic morons!

Yeh in fairness, not everything anti establishment is "leftie". A former developer is hardly a leftie.

Ahhhhh, but were the Brits on dere Oats when dey ran. Were dey? Eh? Eh?
