You're deluded.

A failed person.

That's a new one.

It's really not. I've stated it multiple times about that subhuman.

Goldrickssan · 31-10-2020 3:13pm

Leo needs to make a statement very soon.

This is getting away from him.

I heard on radio he's making one later today

Brave man.

Exact same terminology used within hours of the Maria Bailey controversy breaking. Wonder how that turned out, despite your repeated efforts at dismissal.

Anyone know what journalist wrote the article?

Seán Ó Woodward and Tomás Ó Bernstein

Why would possibly give an ounce of shįte who wrote it if it is such a nonsense and will be forgotten about next week, so yourself and your FG pals can head off on a 24 hour binge like smear campaign?

All I know from my career as an armchair political anorak, when these things break at the weekend, if you're still explaining on Monday you're in trouble.

RTÉ working very hard to downplay it.

Maybe he'll issue the statement on the radio with an RTE broadcaster, that'll clear it up for sure Paddy.

I see Maitiú Ó Tuathail is Biden supporter, no surprises there with Quid pro quo

JohnnyFlash · 31-10-2020 3:20pm

Lot of anger in this thread, and plenty of projection as well. Complete non-story. Sorry folks.

ToddDameron · 31-10-2020 3:20pm

Wouldn't be one bit surprised if this is true, he's dishonest enough and unintelligent enough to do something like this. Interesting to see if anything comes of it.

Seriously why would RTE cover it when it's only broke and there is no details?

He hasn't even spoke yet.

Jesus the conspiracy run foil hat brigade are put early today.

Don't they say in the US if it is still running 3 or 5 news cycles later that you are goosed.

Nothing in the article evidence-wise that isn't easily falsifiable. I mean fake text conversations make up half the humour sites these days so they count for nothing. The contract seems to be the most damning evidence but at the end of the day its a pile of papers with a cover page and some scribbles. Anyone with a printer and a marker could reproduce that.

Leos reaction should be interesting. A strong denial and there isn't really a whole lot for them to go on.

LBJ said his opponent, a pig farmer, had carnal relations with his swine.

LBJ’s horrified advisors said “Lyndon, you can’t say such things!”

LBJ responded “I just want to see him deny it.”

Damage has already been done.

Just calling it like it is, dude. Bit of an outrage orgy in this thread so far. Lads getting excited over the idea that Leo is in trouble. Nah. Conspiracy theory nonsense.

You’d have to only assume that the journalist has some concrete evidence/source which is authentic and verifiable as such and is not relying on screenshots of text messages and an image of a contract. If this all they have and they are relying on this as proof then the journalist is just an idiot and deserves everything they get.

I appreciate the reassurance, Ms. McEnany.

What does LeBron James have to do with this?

Well as pointed out, why is this in the village magazine and not something bigger? Was the evidence not enough for them to run it?

Captain_Crash · 31-10-2020 3:28pm

Leo knew this was breaking, he’s been given the heads up on it! The fact it was published and is out now tells me he didn’t issue any libel related legal threats against publishing it, or if he did, The Village are confident in the source and will fight such a battle if necessary! I think there may be more to this and we’ll know in the coming days

I rekon Shane Ross is behind this!

hahahaha, hilarious, seriously.

wait a minute... your original post said ".......gay GP......., yet when I quote it, the 'gay' is missing. Are you editing while I'm replying??

anyway, THIS is what I'm responding to:
What's him being a gay GP have anything to do with it?

My first thought was "who da F are you calling a GP?"
