And people from NI can go wherever they like in the ROI. You could see the them and us mentality. It is definitely there, in a cohort of the SF vote. Ireland for the Irish etc. But the irony is many of these types hardly speak a word of Gaeilge (I don't know what SF's excuse is for the last 100 years - re- the Irish language). But they want the 'Brits out', and have tattoos of British soccer teams. While failing to see the irony. It would be like you having a large tattoo of Sheffield Wednesday while giving out about 'The Brits'. I have no time for them, they are pure eejits looking for a cause with some mystic. A 'gang' effect more than a political party.

We'd a chap, posts here often, fond of the Greens, telling us a few months back how SF wouldn't do so well because they support immigrants/asylum seekers rights but their supporters don't. Maybe it's the stereotype yis are peddling needs work? I suppose by that narrow logic anyone votes FG is an accidental landlord who dodges tax and misses the empire

Fine Gael minister Brendan Griffin, SocDem leader Róisín Shortall, Sinn Féin TDs Pearse Doherty and Brian Stanley and Fianna Fáil TDs Robert Troy, Niamh Smyth and Pat Casey, who is now a senator, submitted parliamentary questions (PQs) about 5G's health impact.

RF-EMF has been proven to be harmful to humans and the environment." That's not a question, it's a lie and is peddling a conspiracy theory. Completely reasonable to question, not to make statements like that.

Maybe we should ask more questions about vaccinations. Maybe we should ask more questions about the merits of not drinking and driving. Maybe we should ask more questions about the place of women in the workplace. Maybe we should ask more questions about the merits of internment? Maybe we can re-evaulaute the very basic mertis of democracy, sure its only asking a question, right? By all means, people can ask questions, and they can reveal themselves to be philistine halfwits (SF in this case) in the process.

AGAIN: If we want to play the 'one TD Councillors or members gaff/ill advised comment/ stupid question/action - means an entire party is the same...have at it, because I can do that with every single party since the dawn of organised politics.
markodaly wrote: » Do you have any moral convictions, or will you defend anyone asking questions, no matter how dumb, insane, or half-witted those question could be.
Remember the time, when Trump rambled on about injecting disinfectant into a body to kill Coid-19, he passed it of a 'just asking questions'. See where I am going with this?
So, when SF makes a gaff, everyone is at it, but if FG do it, you are there like lightening, posting about it. Do you honestly think that is OK?
