I've been in a car where there was a three way discussion on the radio about Donald Trump with all three against him. That's typical if Irish media these days. Unless they can find somebody on the opposite side of an issue who is less intelligent than their side he won't get air time. The only time you don't get that to the same extent is during an election debate although the host does still try to favour his preferred candidates.

I'm hoping he gets elected at the expense of a candidate from one of the major parties. It's time they realised that the rural electorate are fed up of them not listening. And I'm of the opinion that they are all clueless anyways. Who knows, a man with a good business history might be more useful in Europe if he goes and learns about what's necessary to do the job.

The biggest problem in rural Ireland I find are those who sit on various fences, criticise every initiative and resolutely refuse to get involved...but will be the first to whinge if an initiative fails. They exist in your head. Traveller crime has been talked about for years in the media.

Africa back in the day? Did they shoot people as part of the Raj? Did ye make yeer wealth off a plantation in Brazil? Do you feel guilt in that respect? In what respect do you feel that Ireland owes welfare tourists and people who fraudulently claim asylum here? He is right. Again. And unpopular again as a result in 'woke' media circles.
