Is it just me or have SF vanished?

I haven't seen or heard anything from Mary Lou, Slab Murphy and other good Republicans in ages.

What's going on?

And the Irish Times, Labour Party are calling for it too. The Irish Times claim it’ll take up to 10 years before the appeal comes before the court.

I am not a green party member. How bizarre of you to think that someone with my varied opinions could be in a single party.

I don't have to take part in threads unless I want to.

What Apple account? The state doesn't have an Apple account.

The economic illiteracy of the woman never fails to surprise.

It would be more accurate to state that Sinn Fein have been keeping the public misinformed all along.

An example was Mary-Lou's crass attempt at self-isolating against all HSE advice.

Not read the entire thread, but I’m pretty sure that if SF were more “visible” the same people would be talking about “grandstanding”.

Sure it'd be better to have people lose their jobs, **** the economy and it'll be cheaper in the longrun eh? No - it wont be. Work has to be protected in order to make sure people have jobs to go to when we know what the story is ... doesnt seem like a bad idea. Leo is the one claiming we can get hoc when we need it

Its a bit so so that SF only turned up when the public found them out. Some are probably very reluctant to bother if it was not for the orders from the top brigade pushing them about.

And what was your take on it? How does it compare with the Irish strategy?

When this was happening, the advice my daughters school received from the DFA was that it was safe to travel to Italy.

That was three weeks ago. The world has changed at an unprecedented rate in only three weeks.

Of course governments have had a change in strategy, no one had any inkling what this would involve or the number that would be infected. No one.

It compares by being much later than here. It compares by being half-hearted. The schools are closed here, not in the UK, where they are staying open for children of health care workers etc. If you thought Glendalough and Lahinch were busy here yesterday (and they were) it was nowhere near as full as beaches, parks and so on in the UK. They are not undertaking community testing in the UK. I hope that NI, and Scotland, will wake up soon.

Stay safe

Nah, he's won a big majority and the press/media treat him with kid gloves.

One of the differences between the British and Irish is that the former tend to associate a toff accent with expertise, and resolve, whereas the latter associate it with colonialism and subjugation.

Thank goodness that shire of bastards aren't still in control of (most of) Ireland.

“OMG drop the drawbridge” and “Barbarians at the Gate”.

Looks like the French were going to 'burn their bridges' to Britain too:

French newspaper Liberation, citing sources in Macron’s office, said Johnson’s decision came after the French leader gave him an ultimatum on Friday morning, threatening an entry ban on any traveller from the UK if there were no new measures.

Boris’ “pivot” shows same sort of manoeuvre as Olga Korbut, for those of us old enough to remember it. In an instant, he went from “herd immunity”, which is basically equal to “let the old feckers take the hit”, to “OMG drop the drawbridge” and “Barbarians at the Gate”.

Except I would imagine all those SF TDs went onto those shows to either:

A - whine about how badly the current Gov are handling the situation, being too slow/too quick in whatever situation

B - whine about how were are in this situation because of FF/FG actions over the past few years and SF would have ensured this never would have gotten as bad as it is

Heard MaryLou whinging on one radio show a few days back sneering at the Govs handling of all this, and still trying to make her "Gov of the Left"...well MLmD, get on yer phone then! Not like the opposition TDs are pressing the flesh at GGA matches/funerals/over a bar these days! Get enough support, march into Michael Tweens office, slap down your votes of support and give Leo the boot so!

Except she wont because she is not eyeing up being in Gov anytime soon. Same radio program, she made mention how a critical opposition was also important for the running of a country....I bet SF are going to let FG/FF organize a Gov till 2025 and use this event and the inevitable recession to beat them and push for a larger majority in the next election. its not like SF can even guarantee their lat election promises, the USC cuts were going to be paid from the rainy day fund FG setup years back in light of the last recession...a fund which is gonna be well spent (and then some!) by the time were out of this.

So what you really mean is if Corbyn was in power now, and he had undertaken the exact same strategy Boris had, which was contrary to the advice of his leading scientific advisors, you'd be able to criticise Corbyn as bumbling, but you can't bring yourself to criticise Boris because of your own political ideology. Boris has ensured the body count will be greater due to listening to Cummings over his scientic advisors and the advice of WHO, but yeah lets over look all that and be thankful Corbyn is not in charge.

Every centre left /populist left government is totally f***** this up in Europe (Spain, Italy).
They have no replies, because they can’t spend like the centre right as they don’t and never will have the economy to back it.
CEntre right is surging in polls in Germany (only polling in Europe post Corona).

Sinn Fein have cravenly backed off into the hedge when there's a proper crisis in true Homer Simpson style

When the real women and men of Ireland are trying to get the country back on it's feet Sinn Fein will come out of the cowardly hibernation and start off the mouthing, barracking, bitching and usual sniping.

Then the usual dullards, mouth breathers and armchair revolutinoaries will shakily stand up in front of their tv's and laptops, shake their fists, and do nothing other than vote for them, then they'll sit back down, fart and belch and continue being utterly useless.

As man have pointed out SF and their supporters represent 25% of the population now. They're also more often than not working class.driving lorry's working on tills. Keeping food on the table. Not only that but alot will be facing uncertain financial circumstances because of this virus. Are the Finnerbots worried that SF will stand up for these folk at the cost of their golden circle?
