They are playing into SF's hands no matter which way the cookie crumbles...I think that is where the anger and frustration is coming from. Mort thinks that FF and FG will have gained votes by term end.

We have FG in alleged data breaches warning about the rise of SF if members vote for this wishlist. We have green TD's also warning about handing the power to SF. We have posters who claim steadfastly to know about how SF works getting in a strop about not knowing how the party they votes for works (the Green Northern vote) and getting caught out telling transparent lies about...guess who?...SF.. Yeh Brendan...loads of anger and fear in the hood!

You could say welfare payments are causing hospital waiting times to go up as poorer people spend a larger proportion of their income on alcohol and alcohol is a major cause of hospital admissions so if we cancel the dole then hospitals will be free.We could go in circles on that stuff all day but it is very rare that you hear the party that is perceived as our most right wing being called out for increasing social welfare payments. To be honest it smacks of needing something to criticise them for but not knowing what you are talking about.

A bloated welfare system funnels money to private business rather than any more cost effective alternatives. If the tax payer wasn't funding private profits with rent allowances and 25 year leases where would the money come from? The more cost effective state aid becomes the less profits for landlord investment companies and individual landlords, be they TD or accidental.

Their willingness to oversee record breaking societal crises for private profit would dispel such thoughts. We know at least one current Fine Gael Councilor, (O'Leary) admires fascists. And FG cosy up to people who think Asylum seekers should be sent to education camps if they need the numbers and another thinks Irish people protesting are similar to ISIS and the party has fascist roots, not forgetting Oliver J. Flanagan the celebrated antisemite.

This pointless vitriol that keeps being lobbed about with regard to the government is f*ckin painful. So you are sick of FG's left wing policies, is that what you are saying?
