In fairness lad considering the amount of posts from you on the topic I would suggest you avail of your own advice.
Irony.

When was my last post before the last few?

Haven't been here all day unlike some who are posting every few mins since 9am.

Such a waste.

If the story was Trump leaking stuff to a busty blonde 29yo friend he “admired”, there wouldn’t be a whiff of heterophobia. If the shoe fits.

I'd tend to agree there's entirely a whiff of homophobia about the remark. This story is entirely about a politician being more machiavellian and it royally backfiring on him. His sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.

There is a lot of Twitter links been posted here and I am not sure Twitter is a reliable source for information.

I hate to say I told ye so

"The EXCEPTION to the rule is for holders of public office (from which Ministers and Taoisigh are excluded - so excluding Mr Varadkar from the exception not the rule)."

The village magazine saying it makes it true? I hope you are joking with that trail of thought.

Their statement looks childish with the fully capitalised words. Not a good look for them.

Leo confident he can see through this scandal. FF will be hoping he is removed.

He isn't a team player anyway, likely there will be relief in the government if he resigns.

Not the lead story on the RTE 6.1, but the main story on the website.
Odd.

Nonsense.

He leaked documents that weren't public knowledge, he should resign. Simple as. I don't want it dragging on like Phil Hogan who was hounded out of a job for a minor offence. This is not minor, its a resigning matter and nothing more. He needs to do the right thing, even his not best practice quote admits wrong doing. Go for the sake of the government or let SF into office and let that be yuor legacy

Message is very clear:

If you're gay (even if you're not) then contact Leo & Matt, befriend them, and access to confidential government documents will be sent by courier to your house.

Who knows?

They might even invite you to a topless drinking of cans in the Phoenix Park.

You think his sexual orientation is important here?

If he was a straight man would you think that?

They'll drag this out to the death.
Varadkar going down in a blaze of sleaze and corruption as the country's most popular leader...ouch!

More homophobic jokes.

You lads seriously belong in the last century.

Woah,wheres the homophobia in my joke of our Taosaigh whoring himself to vested interests and using tax payers money to HAND of these confidential documents.

You are fairly floundering when you are trying to use some sort of made up homophobia card to excuse your hero and its actually pretty disgusting that you try and use it while people are genuinely suffering from homophobic bullying and violence.

You seem to be obsessed with his sexuality based on your posts. Very interesting.

RTE says this is "politically hazordous" for Leo.

Questions to be asked about this attitude to spreading internal documents to a personal friend by courier arranged by text message, by a politician who was on national television recently excoriating NPHET for leaking information. Hard to see how he comes out this without being, at the very least, a hypocrite.

Did it feature at all on the six one news? Watching the hurling

Yeah hand jobs and him delivering a happy ending.

I can't believe we're 32 pages in and the thread title still mangles Varadkar's name.

Donnelly is literally saying that the thing was agreed, should be shown to GPs, and pointing out that the flaw was in the fact that it hadnt as of that date been actually published. This wholly backs up the argument that there was no harm done.

Assuming Leo's explanations pass scrutiny, then it stands to reason that if anything at this point this is just a point scoring exercise against Leo by people who dont like him, using whatever whistleblower they could find. And what they've found is the lowest end moaner with a chip on his shoulder and blown it out of all proportion for political gain.

The Village is wildly anti-government, leftist garbage and they've fabricated or at least made a grievous error in regards one of the key pieces of "evidence".

Complete non-story as I mentioned earlier. ...All the usual lads fell for a bit of fake outrage again. Must be disappointing for you all to see it fizzle out. Word for the wise, men (always men).

Also, you didnt mention this being a "complete non story" earlier....maybe somebody else did.

Jaysis lads, have ye dressed up as the Borg for Halloween?
