    Ach she's a lunatic Antifa type and the daughter of former Minister for Justice Sean Doherty who was nevertheless RTE's 'go to' for comment during the Roosky DP center trouble last year. A lad on the other side as it were called Grand Torino was doing a livestream from a pub up there and she arrived in and threw some sort of spiced liquid in his face.

    All kind of fringe antics from fringe characters.



    Ah no he's grand its just what they call him cos he was in the British Army.

    He'd be a lot more sane than that MoMo character!

    No I mean the music video with her husband

    Tan Torino is pretty clever tbh given the fact he goes on about being a patriot but served in the British army... The other remark is a pretty nasty jab at a person's appearance. You've also made it pretty clear that you like the likes of Torino and Gemma.

    Plenty of Irish patriots have served in the brit army. And not all out of necessity. Tom Barry for one. Torino is a waste of space grifter. The fact he served with the british army is irrelevant.

    So Tan Torino is funny but the Momo thing is nasty.

    You do realise you've framed that entirely due to your political preference?
    Yep it's true. Also lives with his parents still, in the shed. :P

    Yeah I remember the representatives of the Irish working class /champagne socialists like Richard Barrett et al outside the Dail deriding him cos he was "only a builder".

    He lives with his parents in the shed... Good Lord.

    Luckily Ireland's hard left are known primarily for all being independent living, high earning, high achieving go getters.:pac:

    If Croft does work construction full time he likely earns about three to four times what your average counter protestor earns yearly (ironically his tax contributions alone probably keep one of their heads above water for the year)

    I'm no fan of the lad but this is pretty funny like.

    OK sound. so she's the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

    How about Gemma and Dolores. Are they not both on the same side. Their general opinions/followers etc all seem the same but they really don't seem to like each other. Are there some Niche opinions that they disagree on or is it just good old fashioned personal dislike of each other ?

    I watch Dolores streams; she live-streams to her Periscope TV Broadcast on Twitter etc. on a nightly basis for between 45 mins. & an hour and a half; it's called taking one for the team!

    There's a split for sure; she doesn't like ex Sf. & ex. Ind. Cllr. Melissa O'Neill (now of IFP; ran under their banner in Co. Waterford & Co. Kilkenny in LEAs in 2019s Local Elections & in CW-KK in GE 2020) & constantly refers to her as wine drinker in her address to her Paytriots.

    Which makes her protege Flanges appearance, alongside her Gorey mate HCA/Nurse (unsure which it is) Sandra (who also hosted/organised another "Free Speech" protest outside Sen. Malcolm Byrne (FF) office in Gorey last weekend at a Melissa O'Neill Town Hall event in Kilkenny about 3-4 weeks ago all the stranger; Dolores herself didn't attend. There was a march through the town to a Famine Memorial @ the Workhouse (McDonagh Shopping Centre; close to the railway station for the Paytriots who came down from Dublin/Carlow etc. on their FTP) & the War Memorial too.

    She also hates Graham Carey & Gemma's not a fan of his either.

    Gemma's up in Bray D.C. on Monday; Dolores is burying a relative on same day; she'll probably skip it & go to Bray!

    I'm afraid I don't know Dolores Sir. But Gemma seems to fall out with everyone.

    I did. A lot of the text is in really weird places. The sort of thing you'd get with a "My first webpage" kit from 2000.

    No the opposite crowd, Antifa. They call her MoMo because she bears a resemblance to that MoMo character
    It's not them calling her Momo. It is YOU calling her Momo. At least you could own it.

    In the states he and alot of those who follow him and similar grifters would be known as basement dwellers, here its the box room or the shed. Same level of sad without the catchy description.

    Eh.... he makes money from his racist bile videos

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    What, he no longer works?

    I heard before he was a carpenter. That would put him on a bare minimum of 40k per year working full time. Although possibly much more if he's good at hi

    How many of Leah Doherty's friends gross even 3/4 of that? None, aside from the odd teacher or lecturer. Croft was earning more at 18 as a 2nd year apprentice than most of this lot are at 40.


    I'd a look at his views there. His 2 month old views have around 2000 views. Some of his stuff up 2 years has 20k views.

    Let's be generous and say hes had 100k cumulative views.

    I'd be surprised if he made 50 quid off advertising.

    Even if he did its 50 quid more than most of the lefties will ever earn by working.

    You think most people with left wing views don't or never will work?

    Yep he grifts for a living, pretty sure he isn't in actual employment. Basically does the same thing as Tommy Robinson with less success.

    Traditional left wing views, like that all grown adults who put in a 40 hour week deserve a decent wage relative to living costs, everyone deserves an affordable place to live, everyone should have access to free or low cost medical cover?

    No. Most people who hold these views work. Myself included.

    Do I think people who rant about gender identity, attend BLM marches in honour of low lifes, blindly believe any woman who claims she was raped (particularly if said alleged rapist is part of the white male establishment) and who think asylum seekers deserve superior rights to tax paying natives solely on the basis they're black or / and Muslim and therefore somehow liven up this apparently backwards dump of a country?

    No. I truthfully believe that if you surveyed the attendees at your average protest you would find young students studying in the main bull**** courses, mature students who never left college, people in their 30s who primarily work part time in hospitality (the skinny tattooed types you see in craft beer pubs and gourmet burger places) and a good dollop of the plain old unemployed. The majority hailing from at least upper middle class backgrounds

    Aside from the odd well paid union figure, teacher, lecturer or media figure in attendance I'd bet my legs it would be a cacophony of skint losers. You can spot it by their clothes alone Seriously. How many plumbers do you see at an end direct provision march? How many crane drivers wielding I Believe Her placards?

    Weirdly, I fall a fair bit under your classification of hard left but I'm not hard left if I'm tbh. Make a very good salary, looking at getting a house in the near future and I'll confess I don't put much thought into how I dress so I probably look like a "skint loser". Meanwhile Torino does not actually work from what I gather, he's obsessed with blaming refugees for his woes and he grifts via fundraising on his page. That's what he does.

    I was once told on a boards forum that I wasn’t a liberal when I said I didn’t believe that people should be just allowed stay on the dole indefinitely if they had no intention of getting work. It’s amazing what people of a conservative bent decide what liberal is.

    You're not meant to resent the lad next door who lives in essentially the same house you paid 250k for because Denis O'Brien robs us far more than Anto / Deco / Martin McDonagh/ Olesegun and their 9 kids getting a grand a week.

    They always seem to forget that while O'Brien may be creative with his taxes his company's and his employees contribute more to the economy than the waster next door ever will.

    They seem to think that their imagined full time occupation for Gran Torino leads to more earnings than their imagined occupations or lack thereof for people at BLM etc r protests.

    There probably a good few unemployed and low earners at those BLM type marches, just as there very likely are plenty of dole lifers attending the pro Gemma'n'co anti mask griftathons we often see during weekday afternoons.

    Any mention of Croft being a builder I can find refers to him as a former builder, e.g. not employed as one. Literally nothing referred to him as a carpenter. You're arguing with someone who appears to be creating a reality in their head.

    I thought he was in the British Army at 18. He has companies sponsoring his videos as well. Plus an online shop. Hes always asking for donations.

    Basically he is making a packet out of being a racist prick.

    Rubbish.
    Left wing views have always been concerned with equality for less advantaged in society.

    But the left doesn't espouse equality. By demanding asylum seekers get own door accommodation within weeks of arrival they are advocating superior treatment, not equality. This mad idea would only resemble equal treatment if the state owned more council houses than there were people looking to rent them.

    Even if we had that, asylum seekers have done nothing to deserve them.

    Where do you get the idea that the 'left' demand this? Perhaps some people have looked for humane treatment for asylum seekers. I don't see anything wrong with people being treated humanely, do you?

    Edit, also what has anyone done to deserve a council house? People who deserve housing are people that cannot house themselves.

    I would say you're doing an incredible misrepresentation of how poor direct provision accomodation is. Anyway, Torino is an out of work grifter which should surely annoy you.

    Oh that’s for sure, the thing is there are very few people that could really be described as left or right wing. It’s more left/right or liberal/conservative and in there there is massive differences between individual peoples ideas.
