Using Comic Sans ms was an odd choice of font?

Trending on Twitter.

You couldn't make it up

The childish font goes hand in hand with her childish need to be supervised on a swing.

McMurphy · 14-11-2019 10:34pm

That doesn't really read like she's letting this go tbh.

Good. She is definitely a scorned woman. Wonder who she is referring to as trying to reignite the story? Kate O'Connell has been very very quiet the last 6 months.

What is her obsession with that silly font. Very unproffessional.

tigger123 · 14-11-2019 10:38pm

In her interview with Sean O'Rourke she was also referring to mysterious forces at play.

Comic Sans? :eek:

The fact she hasn't owned up to take responsibility for what she did makes her a poor public representative. I'm sure there will be a 'tell all' interview where she still defends her position.

If you can't handle falling off a swing onto your bum, you shouldn't be in politics.

I hope she still runs and gets 3 votes.

Itssoeasy · 14-11-2019 10:43pm

I'm sorry but I've no sympathy for her. She brought the whole mess on herself by going on national radio and making a tricky situation 100 times worse but having a brass neck that was laughbable and playing the victim card. I'm glad her local FG branch(?) told her to piss off in essence.

You have bit of learning yourself, Allinall... Have a look at this copy and past paragraph from the results of the 2011 General Election.

Quote:
It is worth noting that in 2011, Non Voters, rather than Fine Gael or any of the other parties, formed the largest grouping at that general election. If a significant chunk of these non-voters had voted, this may (or may not!) have had a big impact on the final result. Unquote.

Given that a certain % will never vote, what's your explanation for the other % that did not vote? How many of them didn't vote because they simply did not like or trust the politicians "on offer"? There is something radically wrong when the the non-voter's block out number the largest party vote's.

Whoever wrote that should run for election themselves.

They’d make a great minister for the bleeding obvious.

“Mar or may not have had a big impact on the final result”.
WTF does that mean?

Not voting had zero impact on the result of an election.

HUMANITY CROSSED

lawrencesummers · 14-11-2019 10:46pm

Hopefully she runs as an independent.

And gets no votes.

Stop moaning ffs · 14-11-2019 10:46pm

Absolutely no sympathy for her and far too little far too late for FG to be trying to save face in an oncoming election

She should have been immediately dismissed when this emerged.

Instead they tried to bury it and wait it out.

Then forced do a sham investigation. And buried that. And Then cleared her.

They made a complete balls of this and people won’t forget.

I’ll never vote FG ever again.

“Ends“

Wtf is that about?

tdf7187 · 14-11-2019 10:49pm

Very clearly and obviously a sidetracking smear campaign. Have to wonder what the leadership are up to. This party put baldy Noonan in charge of the most important role in the govt at a time of economic crisis. Noonan of the haemophilia and abuse scandals. The country has a national case of Stockholm Syndrome if you want my view. That is not to excuse her actions, but really and truly a minor thing on the grand scheme.

That's quite standard in a press statement, however the use of Comic Sans is definitely not!

I used to be in the chat rooms of AOL back in the day. I loved my magenta comic sans font in bold

Bobtheman · 14-11-2019 10:51pm

She obviously ran into trouble in communicating with the hotel and ran too quickly to the courts. Meanwhile the consumer gets screwed by the insurance industry. The industry claim 20% of claims are fraudulent..pure and utter bull****
But let's zero in on Maria Bailey. Let's vote FG/FF as if that will solve anything
Muppets the lot of you. How well you are being played

namloc1980 · 14-11-2019 10:52pm

That's some joke in fairness........ using Comic Sans in 2019.

She writes all her press releases in Comic Sans. Tbh says a lot about the standard of officials we have that no one has politely pulled her up on it. Good old Calibri should be the standard for such serious statements.

Obviously.
We are all wrong.
She was wronged.
It was a communication error.

RobbingBandit · 14-11-2019 11:00pm

That font definitely eye catching; can/would she dare run as an independent or join a different party for the next election, if I was in that area I wouldn't vote for her based solely on this fiasco, fine Gael can't be faulted for wanting to distance themselves really.

suicide_circus · 14-11-2019 11:03pm

should have used Wingdings

They can only be faulted for trying to do sweet fcuk all about it, other than try to bury it under some utter bullsh1t excuse of a report, no one was allowed to see except them, that apparently portrayed them all as one step below cherubs with gold wings and shyting out rainbow dust.

Only when the local member's said enough is enough, we don't want someone of this calibre to be standing in this area did the party leaders take steps to remove her.

Just so people are reminded, this is the type of public representative they allowed to stay put and install resentment within the public electorate who are being hammered with insurance costs, while Leo and his mates wage campaigns about how fraud cheats everyone.

Strokes and skulduggery are ok, so long as it's one of their own was the message I took from the whole sorry affair.

I'd say that as they didn't vote,,,we will never know what the outcome would be if they HAD voted.

Not voting had zero impact on the result of an election.

I always thought that voting / not voting was what decided the election result's.

If this is the reason you abandon FG- please never vote again. So no issue with chronically high homelessness? No issue with the insurance industry in general spinning utter bull**** about amount of fraudulent claims? No issue with the running of the HSE. Voters like you can fxxx off

As I said- a lot to learn.

Whereas back in the real world, you are the one that clearly doesn't know what the word democracy even means while complaining that some people have the principles and honesty not to vote for any of the scum on offer.

Judgement day for Maria Bailey.
