Is it just me or have SF vanished?

But Francie spent all day yesterday and couldn't answer a simple question on Sinn Fein yet today seems to know the internal working of FF and FG. I would expect the opposition as a SF supporter he should know more about Sinn Fein, would you not think?

I seen what Francie posted yesterday, clear and concise answers complete with quoted articles and links to same that backed his responses.

I also seen the posts you gave in response to those, stuff about not being able to find it on Google.

Guess which posts I had more faith in?

Funny Mark and Blanch spent today debating/responding to the answer I gave you, yet you claimed you 'could find nothing about them on google.

. yet today seems to know the internal working of FF and FG. I would expect the opposition as a SF supporter he should know more about Sinn Fein, would you not think?

Why would I not be allowed an opinion on how other parties are behaving? You are on here dissecting a party's manifesto and intentions. Is this another Only Redgirl Can Go Area?

You're entitled to opinion, Sfos will agree with it,because well they would..
But the rest of us will probably only agree with your facts,if they're correct, but maybe not with how you interpret them

Wel the facts are that as soon as FG got a bounce in the polls their tails were up and they were sniffing for the advantage.
My 'opinion' (and I don't care who agrees with it or not) is that they will walk the walk and talk the talk but really want another election they cannot be blamed for. They sent out the young fella yesterday to try and spook the Greens, you will see more of that.
I'm too long watching politics not to be completely cynical about the most PR image conscious iteration of FG I have ever seen. If Varadkar stays in charge much longer they will end up standing for nothing like what has happened to FF since the crash in 2008.

If you don't want to respond don't. People died so...something something...

I do find it strange you are around a lot of these political thread lecturing people on how exception Sinn Fein are. This is based on a quick look at your posting history.

Yet you haven't even read the manifesto of the party you voted for? so that would suggest you haven't read any of the other parties, not think that's a bit of an issue?

I prefer SF's housing strategy, (and the SD's) to FF/FG's. You've added nothing by evading questions.
I read FG's for the most part in 2011 and voted for them among others. They did a complete about turn IMO. So how did that help me? For your education, you are best looking to parties promises as general ideals. Building social and affordable rather than supplying business to private landlords, vulture funds and the like is a better direction.

Back to you, last time. All we know of you is you don't like SF but are unwilling to support any alternative to building social and affordable or discuss those policies we currently follow.
I'll take it you've either no intention or possibly the ability to respond after this:

Do you feel record breaking crises year on year is something we need to keep?
Do you realise that instead of building social we are entering into 25 year leases with vulture funds/private companies/private entities, (which ever you can understand), to house the very same people many of whom might be in rent arrears?

Interesting theory
Falls down though with Vradakar straying from it with his friend handing out food parcels the other day
I'd say your theory is just another new sfos angle ye have thought of
Good one though

All I have seen is you lecturing people about how your right and their wrong? So if your right what’s your source?

If it’s an opinion why are you telling people they are wrong when you have no idea?

So you couldn’t find out what a vulture fund was?

They are both taxation.

Yes. Taxation on income rather than on property. A 3 bed semi in Dublin is worth about double what a mansion in a country town would cost. The person is being penalised for where they live.

Taxation on income is better in my opinion, would would agree with SF on that one.

ThunbergsAreGo

Not sure which is the right thread for this, but the abuse politicians from all sides get from twitter morons really is ridiculous.

Whether I agree with their policies, they are all people with families and feelings the vast majority of which do their best

is a 'lecture'...you have been doing it since you arrived. If you have an counter opinion yourself, give it, I will consider it and answer it, if I have anything to say on it. The only person who can stop me giving my opinion here is a mod. You are not a mod.

I would be shocked if you said mine. But your do realise all I did yesterday was ask a question? Seems you have some difficulty with that concept.

That’s you, Francie, Blaaz and Bowie who seem to have issues with people asking questions, I am starting to notice a common theme here.

Imagine asking to talk about Sinn Fein on a Sinn Fein . Why do you have such an issue with that?

I don't. What I do have an issue with is you scolding because people occaisionally talk about other parties.
It is allowed. If you have an issue, report it. Or stop doing it, you have a scroll wheel I presume, like everyone else. There are multiple posts I don't feel the need to respond to.

Hang on a moment here, I'm not sure you have a grasp on how these boards work.

Usually, someone makes a point or post their opinion on something, people might call them out if they suspect they're being careless with the truth, and if or when that happens the onus is usually on the person making the claim to back it up with some kind of reliable source.

I repeat, this happened yesterday, and Francie toddled off and came back with his relevant sources, complete with extract's from these sources which he copied and pasted in quotation formation.

You came back basically dismissing what he posted because "you couldn't find it on Google" - earlier today you claimed to not know what a vulture fund was FFS, that's simply not credible to me and I'm sure many others.

You can post links on sinn feins housing policies, discuss new builds etc and housing tenants arrears etc etc and not know what a vulture fund is?

I definitely have "a difficulty grasping that concept" and you can quote me on that one.

Simple
If the pr is so organised as you say,then he wouldn't have been caught out like that

Btw,Leo wasn't being a hypocrite, he just didn't know his pal was out distributing food parcels and his pal wasn't told in advance that Leo was going to make the points he did

They'd need a sort of an sfos for that level of awareness

Tbh the only way for him not to be a hypocrite,would be publically critise eogan murphy (hint: he wont)

But him saying he'd be ashamed to be seen delivering food parcels,kinda deosnt help,the image of him hating poor people either :pac:

But somewhat of a pointless storm in a teacup really....just came across rattled as fcuk to me (part of me,loves to see em all at each others throats

Brilliant. That was exemplary limbo dancong there.
He said because it is all a false persona. It is difficult to keep up with the fallacies he indulges. He was posting pics at Darkness into Light himself a day or so after. Not a hint of irony.

His point was a solid one,that we do way more for our needy than is done in the North,its just unfortunate for him that his pal unbeknownst was out dropping stuff off to cocooners and others the previous Evening posing for a photo

Leo says: 'It's wrong to use poorly funded welfare services in the north for publicity', but it's ok for Leo to use poorly funded services here for publicity...that's rank hypocrisy to me.
What does it say to you?
