Respect your posts in general, Blanch, but wouldn't like to mark Mary's card just because she had Covid. Better than that.

If we were to be critical of SF in opposition then we'd look at:

1) Hundreds of people (mostly fat men) being sent up by bus to the fake funeral of a member of the army council of the PIRA. Sinister. During lockdown. They even made poor auld Pearse go. Standing at the back with his ashamed auld head on him.

2) Davey Boy 'Free State Bastards' Cullinane being the spokesperson for Health. Over O'Reilly? What did she do that caused that demotion?

3) The hero worship of Psycho Adams. Evil is a strange word, but you could legitimately use it towards him.

4) One of their TD's getting a free house and not paying any rent on that because they made a decision not to do so.

5) 50 properties and 200 employees.

6) The Army Council. The Green Book allowed for a few members of the political wing to sit on the fringes of the Army Council. Has that changed?

You lost me at describing people as Fat Men

I'm sure all your family, friends, colleagues are not Fat Men

Fine Gael after seriously undermining Ireland's status at the EU. Why should they be allowed be nominate their two candidates again? A total political non entity at this stage. What do they actually stand for? What do they believe?

Anyone else think that the woman is still suffering from post-Covid syndrome as it is being called? Her performances in recent weeks have been very flat.

We can all refer to reports, Brendan. Like the report that says that SF is still ruled from the top by the Army Council of the Provisional IRA. I wonder who will be replacing Bobby Storey on that? :eek:

Really? Where in the report was she exonerated for misleading the Dail, and Leo, and have the government all but a fanny hair away from collapsing?

"Links to report"

Yeah I read that - where does it exonerate her for misleading the Dail, Leo, and nearly collapsing the government?

Now John, many is the good garment I got there, then into The Goat for a €9.00 special........ needed the seams ‘let out’ after a feed of drink there before the lockdown.

Got shown a cavalry twill set of strides there one visit and I genuinely thought they were a set of breechin ’ for a dray horse.

Except that wasn't the point being made, as has been repeatedly pointed out.

SF Poster: Did the Charleton Report exonerate Frances Fitzgerald?
Others: Would she have resigned if its contents were known at that time?

They are overlapping but distinctive questions, for both of which the answer may be no, but ending up with a remaining unanswered question for which opinions may validly differ over whether she was harshly treated.

Yeah Leo is after dodging a bullet there by leaving Fitzgerald off the ticket. She can get back in her box now that she is not even getting nominated, I guess the government didnt have confidence in her and its not difficult to see why after that disastrous stint she had in Justice.

Have any of the Fine Gael lads managed to find that bit of the Charleton report that exonerated her for misleading the Dail? Its been a couple of days now, I thought they would be back with the links by now.

Now where did I say he didn't say these things? It is a fact that he said these things.

After that, opinion comes into play. The opinions being peddled on here in response are the amusing bits. A few examples:

"LV is trying to play like he's no responsibility and Martin isn't on his team in government"
"Bizarre that Martin seems powerless to stop him trying to pretend he is setting the agenda."
"If only he was in government and could do something about it."

People are entitled to their opinions, and that is fine, I am not disputing their right to have opinions, neither (unlike others on here) do I try to dispute facts. However, I still have the right to form the opinion that there is nothing to see and that the making of a molehill out of a few specks of dust by those desperate to spin it as some sort of government crisis is really amusing (not to mention some of the obsessional homage to Leo), hence my reference to the game of how to interpret a tweet to imagine divisions in government.

LV is trying to play like he's no responsibility and Martin isn't on his team in government. Not a decent manner to run a country.

Seems Leo's idea of setting up numerous anonymous accounts might be in action. The personality of dishing out attacks and then claiming the victim fits.

Yep. It's a cycle you can follow. The account churns out nonsense after nonsense that's roughly the FG line. Then a big story breaks and it has a ****e take and when there's backlash it claims bullying and the cycle repeats again. Every now and again to cover tracks it will suggest an alternative way of doing something in a bit to say how am I a government shill when I'm critical of them. People have wised up to the cleansing of posts in the past now and are screenshoting back up.
Don't forget that Eoghan Murphy had the same idea of bots and anonymous accounts.

Or the same lad that attacked the two Examiner journalists that wrote the golf gate expose and tried to organise a pile only to delete it after the New York times and Guardian ran with the articles.
The sheen is gone from that sock puppet account and people are wide to it now. Probably fake tweeting abuse as a deflection.

Seems the chap is getting abuse from both the Gemma O'Doherty sorts and the mouth-breathing Shinnerbots. A venn diagram would show significant overlap to be honest. Here's a selection of the abuse he has received, simply for using figures, stats, and data to disprove lots of the búllshít and nonsensical theories that float around in the swamps of social media.

Lovely selection of abuse he has posted. The fact of the matter is the opinions of anonymous accounts on Twitter mean nothing; it's a cesspit of outrage that appeals to people of below average intelligence who mistake hyperbole for news; and anyone who takes it seriously needs their head examined. That's the calibre of knuckle-dragger that SF attracted with their misguided online army/supporters campaign.

It's not too difficult to see why the FF/FG brigade don't like the general public having communication outlets like Facebook and Twitter, even when their own use it for spin.

Johnny, stick with me on this one, sorry, but for a man who reckons twitter is full of lowlife malcontent mouth breathing neckbeard (forgive me if that's not word for word, but is definitely the gist of it) dorks, you sure are familiar with it. :pac:

It's one thing to watch fascinated and appalled from afar as disgusting animals get down and dirty, it is another to enthusiastically throw yourself into the scene and join in.

Both are familiar with Twitter, but to use the old Irish breakfast analogy, one (the chicken) is involved, the other (the pig) is committed.
