    I'd love to know how much money is wasted on leaflets/posters and the like.... I bet it's enough to feed a small army

    'I tried to restrain him against the car.' Putting political-style spin on assault, basically. I've replaced the 'no canvassers' sign on my door with a notice stating 'canvassers will be restrained against the closest vehicle.' Because apparently it's ok to do that to someone.

    If the canvassers are FF, FG or Labour, I will try to make sure it is a moving vehicle.

    a little bit more from the Times today...

    I thought he was going to hit me so I caught him in a bear hug and I was watching that he wouldn’t head butt me when he scratched my face – there was no belting but just one rotten tear, said Mr Deegan who stands 6ft 2in tall and weighs 17 stone but said he was badly shaken by the assault.

    They took over a stagnant economy with high unemployment and MASSIVE debt, but don't let facts get in the way of your soapboxing.

    Nice try Dan, or as you would succinctly put it LOL.

    Who assaulted who first. The Guards will have an opinion on this.

    That's West Cork for you - a sort of White-Man's-Grave for FG-oids. "Come to flog us that bloody treaty, have 'oo?!". To which the correct answer is of course "I'm floggin' fuck-all, I've come to buy!" :D

    Attack on democracy Jesus... I'm sorry Mr canvasser if you had not escalated the situation to physical restraint then I'm pretty sure your man would have run out of steam and gone away. Pretty sure there was no assault as the canvasser would have been pushing for assault charges to milk it. The guards just took everyone's details. Interesting to see if it was the other way around, would the member of the public be charged with assault for restraining the canvasser.

    As an aside because I've seen it mentioned a few pages back FG in 2002 were literally wiped out because they campaigned on a message of financial rectitude - the Irish electorate wanted more mad spending from our favourite bastards FF/PDs

    The rest is history.

    Just sayin. And I ain't no Tory.

    Have you a link for that, never heard that before. Then that was when they sold out a billion euro license to a supporter according to the Moriarty Tribunal.

    Why, would you hit them like the guy in the OP did? :rolleyes:

    Absolutely not! I want the chance to let them know what i have to say and they aren't calling because they don't want to hear about how much of a sh*t job they're doing!

    Do you make a habit of jumping to the wrong conclusions often? Topping it off with the "rolling eyes" makes that a contender for post of the day!
