Surely 1 of the endless advisors can come up with messages to let the kids know to follow the rules.

Seems like you have nothing to say about Breege O'Donoghue either - bar complaining that I didn't immediately attack her - or Leo or whatever

Poor Mary Lou is shrieking to keep pubs open from the top of some red top rag only purchased by her support base. She was probably under pressure from Dessie Ellis anxious for a sing song with his gang. The links are not even to the headline I was referring to Still stupid, irresponsible cheap effort at a bit of populist self interest at the expense of morons. She should link up with Gemma

McMurphy wrote: » My "point" is you made a post, I corrected you, you came back - double downed on it - "couldn't be arsed" to find a link to back up your claim. I provided you with sources to back up what I was saying (I can even link to the CB show McDonald was quoted from) You come back now with "what's your point" and "that's not the headline i was talking about" Toddle along and find the headline and we can discuss it, because otherwise it just looks like you got called out on hoop talking.

FrancieBrady wrote: » What Truth meant to say was 'Some journalist portrayed Mary Lou as shrieking on the top of the red top he/she writes for' instead Truth tried to portray Mary Lou as using the redtop to her own device to shriek. Subtly of it may have escaped you. But his/her's other line would have compounded the impression he/she was trying to give, that only Shinners buy these redtops. That's the 'truth' according to Truthvader.
Truthvader wrote: » Yep almost 100% I believe Mary Lou issued her stupid and irresponsible statement in the hope it would get maximum publicity and was of course delighted to make the front page portrayed as " de hero of the wurkin' man and de only wan fightin' to keep de pubs open"
