    Someone telling Leo to STFU......That'll go down well among the FG zealots. :D

    Any decent leader would have him shut up and in his place at this stage. Michael Martin is clearly too weak to do it.

    2 years of this carry on FG will be in tatters...maybe this is Michael's strategy to win back a few voters swinging between FG and FF?

    Lawless..........? ..... never heard of him

    It's not really important if you heard of him or not, he's saying the same thing publicly about leo as has been said on here for years. Always the expert on someone else's department, shyte record within his own ministerial departments.

    Reminds one of Mary Lou, who allows a lad like Cullinane exult about ‘breaking the State’ and gives him a senior position and no rebuff.

    So, one would have to conclude that she supports his view :eek:

    Any decent leader.......yyada .....yada......yada:cool:

    Fairly standard thing to do alright...send an underling out to give the warning.

    It is really Randal, grunts and gumshoes have been tossing out this kind of rubbish for yonks.

    Anonymous ‘activists’ like we encounter on platforms like this, horse out this crud 24/7.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,012 ✭✭✭✭James Brown


    Throwing in Simon 'boo boo' Harris was a nice touch.

    I wonder is Martin just letting LV make an annoying tit of himself or maybe he's not arsed as he has the top job?

    So too is the "shoot the messenger" as has been so marvellously demonstrated by Brenner there....

    I'm on the Wicklow/Kildare border, and Lawless is actually a TD for my area, gave him a nod in the last election.

    Brendan is a coin who plays politically naïve when it suits or is actually politically naïve.

    There is a certain type of backbencher coin who awaits with bated breath to be sent out to send messages like this. Regina Doherty cut her teeth on it.

    Nothing personal...wondering out loud, how somebody would not know the pupose of a backbencher turning up on the national broadcaster is to clip anothers wings and keep a distance for the leader.

    I didn't think it was personal Brenner, certainly not a personal attack anyway (jeez you are fierce fragile all of a sudden)

    Besides, you use the term often enough yourself to describe others, unless of course you're saying you get personal digs in when you use it?

    I don't think you thought that one through for more than a nanosecond horse.

    Well, j, if examples were given and reference to stuff posted to support the
    personal accusation of “political naivety “ I could accept it, and defend it, its posts like that personal attack upset me quite substantially.

    No proof , just horse out the ‘judgement’ based on nothing.

    Uhmmm... not. good enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,194 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    Lookit... on mature reflection.... let’s end this.

    Don’t want to get anyone censured..... will accept no offense intended



    Case closed..... from my point of view.


    Over and out......

    Best way to deal with people like Varadker is to ignore him, he's yesterday's man, going nowhere fast, few years time it'll be Leo who?
    Be a warm up act for Jedward or Brian McFadden.

    Jesus.

    Think about what you just posted, you're meant to be an adult.

    That's something I would have heard from bullies in school 20 years ago.

    And here we have it, in all its glory

    Sinn Fein politics.....Leo going for dinner one day, buying shoes the next, now it’s his hair

    What will it next week?

    It could be anything, it's get Leo time.
    Laughable when you analyse it, Leo and FG are demonised for everything they say virtually yet if it's and form of self criticism or critical of Leo in particular then it's gospel.
    Lads who gave nods to FG TD's even, and lads who claim anyone critical of SF have grudges to grind using that same tactic themselves.
    Opposition party supporters are like that, disgruntled with everything and everyone in govt.
    Sore chappies mostly.

    Didn't you say you're an FF party voter, what was your opinion on James Lawless having a go at him, basically telling him to stfu about matters that didn't concern him?

    You were strangely quiet on that for a lad whose very opinionated on everything else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,005 ✭✭✭Bishop of hope


    On another note, the old twitter machine was running on overdrive here locally for the last couple of days. A FF TD getting the ire.
    He got my number one in the election but never again, and not because of this, but because one of his first acts was to write a letter of representation for some gougers who were in court on serious assault charges, who were subsequently the target of CAB.
    A good local rep I thought and we needed one, I doubt Mr Flaherty is it now.
    But anyway the twitter mafia is discussing this.

    Sounds suspiciously like what I posted yesterday evening, only the fellow "I gave a nod to" was of FF stock, I don't bother voting for party's, I vote for the candidate.

    Yes OK, I get that, did it myself and got caught out.

    What in Gods name is this about?

    Surely the Shinners aren’t looking for ‘pensions’ for the ‘bhoys’.

    And they want the Brits to fund it!

    Tell me it ain’t true........

    This has been about for quite some time but hasn’t been enacted. it’s annual payment for victims of the troubles from both sides. Some who had absolutely nothing to do with the conflict and were innocent bystanders maimed, paralysed, blinded etc. Not sure what the issue is or why it’s a ‘shinner’ thing, again.
