    Incorrect. I claimed to know more than a poster who suggested everyone criticising the goverment is a SF voter/supporter/shill/shinnerbot. Simplistic nonsense.

    Hey...you are doing a great job for your beloved FF. Top marks. Keep it up. :p

    That is not what I suggested actually - I never called anyone a shinnerbot, etc so you can add that to your list of bullsh*t lies today.

    I think you might have a split/multiple personalities

    And you claimed to know more than I'll ever know without having anything to back it up

    You can't blame SF on the dysfunction of FF or FG for that matter.

    Where's Labour in all your blame?

    SF were a non-entity until 1998 really and even then they talked of peaking in 2016 election. It's not credible to blame political parties for the idiocy of other political parties.

    The electorate are to "blame" for this. And the fragmented nature of the Dáil is, based on how votes fell, what they want.

    I mean, that Lowry still gas a seat. That the healy-raes still have seats. That tax defaulting developer, Mick Wallace consistently got elected is a testament to the idiocy of the people.

    So put the blame where it needs to be put.

    And if you really want to throw blame around, look at Labour and Gilmore. If they went into opposition in 2011, that would have been the end of FF and a likely victory for Labour in 2016.

    He's never voted SF, hates FF & FG and thinks Labour are a disgrace!

    You're arguing with a PDs supporter by the look of things

    IT is great to see in the biggest crisis in year in Ireland, with everything going on we have no sign whatsoever of "the best opposition ever"

    Look like the Sinners all off hiding somehwere, maybe on holidays abroad but the SF trolls wont mention that???

    If in Ireland you would expect them all to be standing outside RTE begging for someone to interview them

    Why do they need to do anything?

    The government are shooting themselves in the foot left-right-and-centre.

    Do we need to rehash the famous saying from Napoleon about interrupting the enemy?

    The vox pops and phone ins all morning are all the same; the people are furious. No need for SF or the SDs to do anything really. Alan Kelly had his spoke on the news at one of course.

    And you continue the bull. She of course pointed out the wrong...the FF wrong...but took no wrongdoing on behalf of FG on board. They are partnersd in government, the buck for the actions of the government stops with them all.

    The government, some of the opposition, the judiciary, the gardai all have answers to give here.

    Incorrect Francie, again incorrect.

    She as I heard it implied the Hogan misread the public mood and having seen the set up should have left.

    When pressed by Sarah she rightly said about his position that it was up to him to defend it .She wasn’t there so it’s his call.

    On the Wolfe issue she, as I saw it , implied his position was untenable.

    She gave a very fair crack of the whip to everyone, bearing in mind that they have right of reply on the issue too.

    The bullhorn lad from DL can ‘call’ for sackings and ‘action’ all he likes.

    People just ignore that auld codswallop, but at the end of the day Regina got it right, was clear how she felt but had to take into account peoples right of a fair right to defend themselves.

    So Francie you are way off the mark as usual.

    Normal parties and normal people will not stick with that. The guys done wrong, it was called out.

    Yes, FF are paragons of virtue...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,088 ✭✭✭✭BonnieSituation


    SocDems wont get any seats outside of urban areas, old Labour voters, nothing for rural Ireland

    I don't think they care.

    The urban vote is way more valuable and easier to get.

    Why waste time and money trying to get the vote off an old codger in Barraduff who's only gonna vote for a Healy-Rae anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,805 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    jaysis I always knew FG and FF in power together would be a car crash but this has turned into an absolute holy mess, people are raging at them.

    Whats worse is they have now totally undermined any government advice on restrictions. People who were following the guidelines are just going to go fcuk this, why bother when FFG are making mugs out of all of us. Similar to the Domnic Cummings affair in the UK the behaviour of FFG here has now legitimised others not following the restrictions. Tipp might be the next county for a local lockdown but if FFG call it they just have no credibility anymore to tell anyone what to do and people will ignore it. Kildare are getting a further two weeks of lockdown later today but why would residents there even listen to anything FFG have to say at this stage.

    This will have serious consequences for public health, the damage they have caused to six months of public health policy is irreversible now and people are just going to do whatever they want just like FFG did.

    This is the question, I think I asked this yesterday. I have had no response.


    It's similar as everyday on here. Complaining about everything with zero alternatives. No alternative plan


    Hurlers in the ditch.

    Because you'd never dodge a question yourself.

    Do you think the government have handled things well the last few weeks?

    If not, what would you have done differently?

    SF are in government in the North remember, and they want to be in government in the south.

    What do you think of our government's performance on Covid. Do they seem to think they know better than NPHET?

    I think it's more of lack of cohesion, people trying too hard to impress and solo runs on COVID-19. Calleary & Buttimer carry-on was so obviously inexcusable you'd wonder why they could possibly miss it.

    FF stupidly keep losing ministers. I think Ms Foley is next in the crosshairs, if anything goes wrong with the schools "plan".

    Francie, what are you talking about? so you now think a Garda escort is a baby sitting service for politicians so they can tell them wrong/right?


    Are we back to the Nazi party when the Gestapo would kill people for stepping out of line, is that the plan if SF ever got into power.....:P


    This is hillarious how you come up with this, the TD was on holidays, it was a private function. Why would a Garda escort get involved if they even where part of his detail that night?


    This is baffling

    A garda assisting someone in breaking regs Shef? No issue?

    Lol.

    The Garda allowed this happen. Every level of the state was present except Michael D.. They couldn't give a flying ****.

    You know you are onto a lower when that is your only comeback. I think you have scrapped through the bottom of the barrel and are digging a hole.

    There wont be an election any time soon, like Brexit was used an excuse not to have an election, COVID will be used an excuse not to have an election.

    Also if there is an election who do you vote for? Lets face it none of the big parties are coming through this crisis as a party to trust and the smaller parties like the Soc Dem's or god forbid Labour just are not big enough to have an impact. If there is an election it will be just either FG or SF and then it will be seen who will go into government with either one. I think FF are finished and if they do survive they will be like Labour are now.

    Fine Gael are the best of a bad bunch, at least until the pandemic is over.

    FG are part and parcel of this. One of their senior politicians has decided to blame someone else for the fiasco while lower ranked politicians admit they were completely wrong and fall on their putters.

    Who was that Francie.

    Not the lad who is now under the management of the EU is it.

    Edit.... you ran away kinda quick from your incursion into the Regina Doherty accusation.

    It would be quite hard to be obsessed with someone who seems extremely confused as to who they are themselves

    I ran away from nothing Brendi but you repeating yourself. You, as usual heard a different interview to me. I heard Regina trying to recover from the barbed comment from the interviewer...'you sound like you are on the opposition'.

    Very few will buy that one Brendi come the day of reckoning. You (FG FF GRs) are all in it together.

    And I meant senior PARTY member Phil Hogan. He works for Ireland in the EU and is a member of FG.

    Why waste time and money trying to get the vote off an old codger in Barraduff who's only gonna vote for a Healy-Rae anyway.

    They won't get any votes from low income workers either so wee niche party with half a dozen ex teachers isn't exactly going to change the world .
