I’ve watched some of John Waters recent interviews and read his new book.

Let’s just say I don’t think he is cut out for politics.

One thing John Waters needs to do, even though I do like the guy, is shave his head.

The baldie long hair look is a bit naff in my opinion and I think people don't take him as serious as they would because of this.

Anyways, Waters is a part of these nice, reasonable, fair play, right wing but not too right wing cause that would upset people, overly nice, kind of wimpish, cohort (also Ronan Mullen, Dave Quinn, John McGuirk) of lads who are wheeled out to be the useful idiots in an RTE debate and who make the same mistakes over and over again.

Not going to happen lads. Pull a Casey on it, its the only way this has a chance of working.

You have to go all in on this.

We are just arguing over semantics here.
When the OP said Farage had taken the UK out of Europe without a shot being fired I think most people understand the meaning of this. The shooting of Jo Cox was a terrible tragedy but it is a disingenuous stretch to say it was part of the Brexit campaign.

You have had your day, noone is listening anymore, no one listened anyway but they were afraid to say out loud what they were thinking so the twitter mob got louder and louder.

Peter Casey has enabled people to say what they think, looking forward to the Late Late.

Didn't our candidate win the Presidential election with the largest ever share of the vote? Or am I missing something?

People who voted for Brexit had no responsibility for Jo Coxes death, this is more nonsense posted by the liberals.

If they had paid attention to peoples concerns Brexit wouldnt have happened.

Irish people have now spoken in their droves on the traveller issue and its past time now for action to be taken.

The most effective action would be to set up a Garda unit to deal specifically with traveller crime, this would give Gardai experience in dealing with these people and give them an in depth knowledge regarding the major criminals. At the moment the travellers are running rings around officialdom, they have got used to being able to rack up conviction after conviction and each of those convictions has an effect on the lives of the poor victims.

The OP was saying that no violence. And utterly untrue given the Jo Cox tragedy plus hundreds of attacks on east Europeans, Muslims & others post July 2016.

And don't forget, the UK is far from being out of the EU. Much still to happen and sadly NI could be a victim of the Tory party's internal squabbles. Any gunfire there will be a direct result of this referendum.

There are extremists in the UK capable of such violence as could lead to serious trouble over the brexit issue.
The national front is a dangerous outfit for instance.
Comparisons with anything to do with EU exit here or in Britain after what Casey said is probably making a disengenuous attempt to bring that real hard right wing element into the argument here.
What a lot of Casey supporters want is not a right wing agenda, but a centrist one that is strong enough not to pander towards the left for the sake of votes, throwing hard earned taxes down rabbit holes for fcuk all and giving houses and such to certain groupings who appear to show fcuk all appreciation for what they get and just seem to demand more no matter what they are offered.
There is a happy medium here, but its being abused right, left and center at the minute.

The biggest attacks in Europe have been committed by Muslims, dont forget crazed Muslims sticking long knives into young women on the streets of London.

Muslims planting bombs where eight year old children were attending a concert in Manchester, the Muslims bann music so no one is allowed to enjoy a concert, take your feudal nonsense and feck off back to wherever the majority want to live like that.

Not forgetting the Paris attacks or the poor Japanese man stabbed to death in Drogheda.

our day is still here. leftism and centrist politics are the way forward. right wing and far right politics have continuously been rejected except for a couple of cases. very few people were afraid to say what they were thinking out lowd. peter Casey hasn't enabled people to say what they think, as the people he supposibly enabled always did say what they thought, but played the victim when challenged on their view and complained of being silenced.

they did pay attention to people's concerns. brexit would have still happened anyway because enough people were gullible enough to fall for the nonsense that was spread by the leave campaign. ironically enough brexit won't change anything in terms of their concerns. government still won't invest in public services, there will still be openings for large scale immigration, even if less actually emmigrate to britain.
the most effective action against traveler and any crime, would be to give the gardai the funding, resources and manpower to actually deal with crime. there is no need for a dedicated garda unit to focus on traveler specific crime.

Who has ever said that? Don't make such wild leaps of fantasy. What is clear is that the xenophobic campaign stirred up Thomas Mair to commit his action. And that of several hundred thugs since.

Hilarious statement and signs of the delusion of a great new age of 'truth' going on here. You have been trying to shut down people who have 'been saying what they think' of Casey and his support all week.

As suspected, you guys are only in favour of hearing what 'you think' and not a syllable else. :rolleyes:

What is very apparent is the media attack on Peter Casey calling him ‘populist’ and ‘single issue’ and taking a pop at ‘the disadvantaged’.

The lad was telling the truth, surely.

Contrast that with the treatment given to the ‘real populists’ the Alphabet Soup crowd!!

Want an increase in pay in Dublin Bus/Luas/ Bus Eireann - sure give it to them

Where are you having the picket- we’ll join you

Where is the demo supporting breaking the law- we’ll join you

We want to occupy empty houses- sure we’ll support you.

Want an increase in welfare/ state pension- why not, hand it out.


You see there’s a subtle difference in the point of attack from these people, they target the taxpayer, the people who pay for everything,Middle Ireland,people who pay their way and contribute by their diligence and effort.

Fair game it would appear to be from the media reaction.

However when a coterie of folk who contribute very little to society, pay very little into the community chest,occupy a disproportionate number of prison places,are called out ,there is media odium for the person who states those facts.


Has this poster puzzled, so it has.

If ever a post summed up all that is wrong with our political system, particularly the hard left, this is it. The middle classes are victimized, and no one will say a thing. I only wish more called it out for what it is.

I see this dead horse is still being flogged.

What the majority of people in this country have realised over the past week, is that the people who voted for casey are all idiots and racists. Broad sweeping generalisations against a minority of people (e.g. peter casey voters) are now permitted. PC madness is out the window, to hell with their feelings, anything goes.

What will this giant of enunciation say next? The 70 year old farmers who contribute nothing to society are waiting with bated breath.

Such rich culture. In front of a Garda Station no less, absolute animals. The children have no fcuking chance when they're screamed at to record this sh*t.

Jesus Christ watched it in full. Seems like the really young kids are scared to bits while the older kid is in awe of his Dad. ''My father never gave in to nobody.'' Fcuking grim.

It's worth noting that Peter Casey was very smart to keep his comments until after he got council nominations. The Irish media/establishment were concentrating on Kevin Sharkey and Gemma O'Doherty. They thought they screened everyone, this is what angered them even more. Casey slipped through the net. I bet if he ran again they would go all out to remove him from the process.

It's likely that councils will be more circumspect in seven years when interviewing candidates. Less nincompoops getting through.

I would rather have seen Sharkey and Gemma on there than the likes of Gallagher and Duffy. Would have been great entertainment.

Has only had bodyguards for the past seven years. Never when lecturer, TD, Minister or Mayor of Galway. Never had any bother there and never will have. A simple case of mutual respect.

Absolutely agree. No kid needs to see that. But you realise it's a Traveller fighting a non-Traveller who allegedly called the kids names. Not good on either side.

What do you mean by problems have arisen.
Do you mean problems created by travellers.
