Maybe he should wear some different socks. That seems to work for the media.

Duckworth_Luas · 18-11-2017 04:18AM

OK, that's the Sun's editorial stance. More importantly though, what is Desperate Dan and The Dandy's opinion?

JCX BXC · 18-11-2017 04:22AM

Oh wow, what a nasty piece.

"He is too busy disrespecting 17.4million voters of a country whose billions stopped Ireland going bust as recently as 2010."

Some angry people in the Sun!

Kermit.de.frog · 18-11-2017 04:30AM

Will this appear in the Irish version?

Readers of the Sun aren't too bothered with the words, now the pictures, that's another story entirely.

RustyNut · 18-11-2017 04:49AM

Are we sure someone didn't just fotoshop a sun banner onto a WaterfordWhispers article?

the_syco · 18-11-2017 05:10AM

It should be helping make Brexit work for millions of his citizens and ours, including by engaging constructively on a border solution.

By boosting American trust and have them build a nice fence along the border?

Watch the British media get much, much, much more Europhobic and xenophobic in the next few years as they deflect blame for everything away from their Tory clowns on to various non-British institutions and people. Watch the 'poor Brits' victim culture surge amid lower corporate taxes and inferior working conditions. All blamed on the EU.

That scapegoating is the one absolute certainty of Brexit. They're all out of step but our Johnny.

It's the right wing mainstream media your talking about here. You're right, they will use the tactics you describe, but there was a big percentage of people in the UK who didn't vote for brexit. There's plenty of media out there to read in the UK that doesn't toe the same line.

The sun is gutter rag. I wouldn't use it to wipe.

Absolutely ****e paper

classy as ever...

That type of gutter press has its market though sadly

Zebra3 · 18-11-2017 11:05AM

Ah The Sun. The moral bastion of phone hacking and invented stories of football fans pissing on the dead.

BillyBobBS · 18-11-2017 11:07AM

Varadkar is an absolute disaster. More concerned with his socks than solving the many issues we face as a nation.

Gay, "Arish" and a little bit brown. I'm surprised the super soaraway Sun's collective undies haven't exploded.

The U.K. left wing papers won’t get more xenophobic but will get more russiaphobic

It's a rubbish paper. They are going to get the shock of their lives when all is said and done. They've ****ed their economy by being easily lead by the national war spirit and deserve what they are going to get.

I'm still staggered that they were enough of them stupid enough to do this to themselves.

Yep. A rubbish paper. But a rubbish paper with the highest circulation of any paper in the UK.

Also, you aren't allowed to say people that voted for brexit are stupid. Clearly they were, but you can't say it. That is why they voted to leave, because people said they were stupid.

Says a lot about its readers there! No wonder they were so easily lead.

Do you know the circulation of it here?

Why can't I say it? Is it not pc?

The "facts" aren't really what the Sun is interested in, though.

I know we got a loan from which they will make a tidy profit from, didn't realize anyone gave us free money!

Neither it would appear were the British people that voted for brexit. "Gung ho" dosn't even do them justice.

Specialun · 18-11-2017 12:16PM

Some of those words are a bit too big for the typical sun reader

I 'm far from socialist but British society works on us and them and on keeping "them" in the gutter. Unfortunately most of the gutter voted the same as some well off tories who still didn't come to terms with the loss of empire. UK is probably the most unequal society in Europe and Brexit is the result of it. Sun is just helping to cement that inequality with making sure they produce a newspaper that is as dumb as possible. It's a stupidity carefully cultivated through the history that brought on Brexit.

True, but nothing to do with Kermit being trolled!
