Leo tried to score a point yesterday about the shinners helping out in their communities, and likened it to "Trump giving out toilet rolls" as some kind of derogatory slur. This is presumably the same Donald Trump leo was so in awe of that he interfered in a planning process against a renewable energy wind farm to try and protect Donald Trump's private business interests. And that man stood up in the Dail and accused anyone else of being "two faced"? Oh dear.

The premise being, instead of handing out food pracels, govern the country! The attack at SF for doing the food parcel thing is very legit. They are more interested in PR rather than governing. Their time in Stormont is an indication of that. Now one, could defend SF record in the north, or they could follow Leos twttier account to deflect.

That is not even to get started on the anti-Irish lies he told as well.

What 'anti-Irish' lies are these, exactly?
FrancieBrady wrote: » His suggestion that but for Tory largesse that the place in which many many fellow Irish people live would be much worse, was deeply insulting to those people.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Mark...sorry to teach you a bit about the world. It is NOT the Tory's money.
Leo was trying to insult in a cheap and particularly nasty way, he succeeded and displayed for all to see what he really thinks. Referring to Belfast as 'overseas' later reinforced that.
markodaly wrote: » I didn't not say it was, did I? Changing the tune now of the argument. What he stated was 100% correct, both factually and in spirit. NI is the region of the UK that receives the most money from the British Taxpayer, yet the place is an economic cesspit. SF and the DUP still cant run it correctly, nor reform it, as they both want to retain its sectarian nature as they benifit from it. Now, what this has to do with FG, I do not know, but this is a losing argument for you and I do not want to go down that road with you as its just tedious. Anyway, we, get it. You do not like Leo, nor FG. We get it.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Nothing to do with Leo's family heritage. Explained already ^ He chose to insult Irish people living on this island by implying that they are dependent on Tory largess. Please spare yourself a long winded explanation on Leo's behalf as mark did. If he meant something else, he should have said something else. Same as his 'overseas' comment. He is like Enda, he let's the mask slip, clearly has the shinners living under his bed too.
