I can only imagine his belligerent nature is well capable of the cold stare across the room. His connections to Ográ Sinn Féin could well get him over the line in a leadership contest but you are in to the blind leading the blind after that. I have seen him handing out the orations at Liberty Hall as if he was gods gift to Irish socialism, Larkin or Connelly would cringe at the thought of him. Waving Tweets around the Dáil as if they matter. I blame the daydreaming on the old Donegal Road, he hasn't a rats what he is at.

Kraftwerk wrote: » SF PR machine: We take the average industrial wage. We're one of you guys! FF and FG aren't improving anything, a change is needed, SF are the party of the future. Reality: Bunch of RA heads singing up the RA on getting elected. Convicted terrorist sitting in the Dail pocketing 90k a year. TDs tweeting homophobic and transphobic crap. TDs glorifying terrorism. Anti vaxer TDs criticising the HSE over vaccines. TDs ignoring and encouraging the ignoring of restrictions during a pandemic to go to the funeral of one of their own. Etc etc I do feel bad for poor floating voters like Francie though. So embarrassed at being duped into believing SF were a credible alternative to government and not a bunch of backwards RA heads that they must spend every waking hour defending these backwards bull**** artists for fear of having to accept they voted for utter gob****es.
FrancieBrady wrote: » Rubbish. I never mentioned anything about his policy. Correcting Michael Noonan is not 'policy' and Pearse not getting a look in on boards.ie with the FG lads and lassies that took offence has nothing to do with policy either. Walk away christy you did indeed make a hames of that one.

Donegal is a smashing county, thank phuck I don't associate it with Sinn Féin. It has a lot more going for it than the squeals of a few opportunistic political cranks who are fond of telling guerilla war stories and yarns about the boat to Glasgow. Luckily for Killybegs it is Simon Coveney thumping tables with the Brits over fishing rights, the thought of someone like Matt Carthy getting cute with Dominc Rabb and co. I like Matt Carthy, i would say he is great man to beep the horn and give you a wave up the Town of a Saturday. But he wouldn't know one end of a fishing quota to the back of his arse, he probably thinks Rockall is a can of lager. Rabb would have him spat back out before he realised the negotiations were on. Killybegs can count their blessings despite who they are voting for.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Comedy stuff now. You should write for Oliver Callan. Only SF convinced FG what policy was right for Brexit and let the government work for their wedge for a while.. Enda ruled out special status at the start. Maybe that's the reason SF do so well in Dun Na Gall? The people always know who the real workers are. Same as in the north, it isn't the darling children of FG and FG; the SDLP, that got rewarded for achieving parity of esteem and equality for them. You can't cod the people on the ground.

FrancieBrady wrote: » I pay no attention to manifestos christy...said this numerous times. My goal in votes SF is to break the power swap and stop the economic direction we have been taking. I judge on what has actually been done, not what might be done and sales brochure promises. I can tell you if they preside over the various record breaking crises we've had with the power swap, they won't be getting my vote.

Well, liking a tweet that pointed to the absurdity of large muscular men deciding they are wimmin in order to beat women at weight lifting. Everyone knows this is true, but Andrews no doubt under pressure from the Woke Brigade (the non binary persons who bate the Black and Tans) has grovelled. Who's next for the rainbow chopper? Any republican with any self-respect left in it should burn that Ante Post docket.
