    I couldn't be arsed getting into a 'I said...you said' with somebody who is so far up in the high moral clouds they are out of sight.

    Let him/her challenge me in 'real time' when I glorify violence or take my glorification of violence up with a mod. Truthwader does state very clearly that it is evident in my post history after all.

    Doubt he would have the energy to trawl through 34k posts F, and bother his bollox trying to dance on the head of a pin.

    Nah, he’d be wise to give that one a miss, unless he has six months to waste.

    Broad brush Francis..... Broad brush.

    Great interview by Tony on RTE News. Phil 'I don't accept that' being his arrogant self.

    Amazingly SF weren't mentioned once. Hard to fathom.

    What did the blinkered FG boyos think?

    It just reminded me of Michelle o Neill and Marylou after the funeral.
    Then up pops Pearse for an interview, and never batted an eye as he called on Hogan to resign.
    Got in a great dig about the do being for vulture funders and insurance reps too.
    Have to admire his point making

    Do you think MLMD, MON, Flanagan and Ring should resign?

    Be poor if the opposition didn't comment on the latest hijinks and shenanigans from messrs. FF/FG.

    The Greens seem awfully quiet on all of this. TBF, did anyone wake Eamo?

    Leo, Michael and finally the sleeping beauty knocking the ball back into Ursula's court.
    They want the man 'who did nothing wrong' gone, what do the FG FF and Green supporters think?

    The ball has never been anywhere but her court :rolleyes:

    Optics you reckon? I suppose Leo fancies himself as a master of that.

    Dunno what to make of it, unprecedented territory.

    Yes.

    But then politics is half optics anyway. I think they should have never got themselves involved in what happens to him. But its also difficult to explain to people why they have no say in his outcome.

    As opposed to a funeral for criminal thugs and psychopaths?

    What exactly in that statement do you disagree with?

    Do you believe Covid plays politics? Surely the same health issues apply to both funerals?

    Whats your view on the golf piss up and the people who attended?

    Nothing.

    Then I am not one of those desperately pointing the other way to take attention away from this.

    Neither am I, in fact I am delighted that Hogan came clean on his exact move,ents, now is the time for the funeral goers to do the same.

    I am mystified by your defence of Sinn Fein as a SD voter. Could you not just join normal people in condemning all of the politicians who broke the guidelines, including Mary-Lou, Hogan and Calleary? Is that too much to ask of a neutral? As a Green, I haven’t defended any of them.

    He hasn't. He's still clarifying. Even tonight. Also there's many attendees still unaccounted for.this story is only begining. You're very passionate for a Green supporter.

    Hogan came clean?? Around the time he was correcting his lies for UVDL the Irish Times was breaking the story about Roscommon. :)

    The only good that might come from this is an election sees FF/FG sent packing.


    We can live in hope. I think FG will be the lead party after the next election, then FF after that. Same as it ever was.

    Have to say I don’t get it. You have previously claimed to be a neutral, but unlike posters like me, you are defending some politicians that broke the Covid guidelines. For example, do you follow the example of McMurphy and say that the lowly councillor from Monaghan who went to Lanzarote did nothing wrong, or do you believe, like me, she should have the party whip removed?

    What happened in Roscommon?

    Phil was there but neglected to mention that as well as all the other stuff.

    This is a FG member disgracing the country in the EU by being found out lying and covering his ass to save his job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,396 ✭✭✭Higgins5473


    What happened in Roscommon?

    Tinder, purely speculating but saw this punter/whale with a fetish for a fat baldy sweaty aul fella who talked sh*te.

    Let's see a video so we can judge? You've no issue with that right? Especially seems as Simon Harris, Neale Richmond and other Fine Gael politicians share videos of private individuals partying in Berlin Bar a few days back.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,719 ✭✭✭dundalkfc10


    Now they are only going to sit for a half day next week.

    Avoid as much time to asw Qs as possible

    The days are numbered

    When and where did I say I had no problem with the privacy of individuals being violated?

    What defence? Ive constantly stated they should have socially distanced.
    I'm both an SD and SF and whomever else tickles my fancy voter.
    Thanks for clearing that up I too view the Storey/Horkan funerals as the same ill conceived events as far as Covid is concerned. Politics does not come into health issues. I do not think any of them should resign.
    I don't care if Hogan resigns. It won't change the elitest element in our society one jot.

    You've not spoke on them either, outside of constant condemnation of the shinner funeral.
    Whats your view on the golf piss up and those who attended?

    I welcomed th resignations of Calleary, Cassidy eat al, I welcomed the expulsion from the parliamentary party of the senators, I just wish others would be as honourable, but that is too much to expect from Sinn Fein, isn’t it?

    I wouldnt know. I dont believe they were there.
    My gripe is the fact all these levels of state were out partying and so cosy. The covid issues are a big part of course.

    Good auld hunger strike could sort it all out.

    Let’s bring back the black flags and the misery.

    Dirty protest could be a good move too.
