Kraftwerk wrote: » It certainly explains labour's results in 2011 and their brief stint with popularity don't you think? And of course FG benefited hugely from the chaos too and were never going to retain all that support.And yes SFs support now is born of populism, painting the powers that be as the enemy and claiming they're the saviours of the working class and hoovering up the votes of desperate people. So we're in agreement then? Excellent.
Mr Quinlan added: “You tell me one party out there who doesn’t look after their own. I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s politics.” He asked why there isn’t more of a focus on the economy. “We were all nearly eating out of bins three years ago.”

Listening Deputy Martin speaking about the enterprise economy really is quite extraordinary given Fianna Fáil's record in crashing the economy nine years ago. Putting Michéal Martin and Fianna Fáil back in charge of our economy would be like asking John Delaney to take over the FAI again in nine years time. -Leo Varadkar
Speaking to reporters in Dublin on Thursday, Mr Martin said: “People want change, that’s the message we’re receiving, they want Fine Gael out of office and we’ve made it very clear we want to go into government with other centre parties, clearly Labour and the Greens are the ones we’d be interested going into government with, but that’s to be determined by the people.

PearseCork92 wrote: » Not really. Brednan's post is akin to scummy Trumpites getting giddy when Democratic stronghold New York was badly affected when the yellow one bears ultimate responsibility for the national outcome. Same as Tories using a spike in Wales as a deeply cynical stick to beat Labour with when in reality Boris and his merry men are the ones screwing up the UK. Ugly, ugly politics.
Kraftwerk wrote: » Everything you're saying you're saying about Francie's post as it was him who made the point as a way to criticise FG for the chaos. Brendan merely pointed out the North is also in chaos as is most of the world right now. Glad to see scummy Shinner tactics called out as such though. Fair play to you.
PearseCork92 wrote: » FF and FG are the national government. They bear responsibility for how this plays out. Same as the Tories in the UK or Trump. Do keep up.

PearseCork92 wrote: » You're out of sorts Kraftwerk. Never thought holding national leaders and national cabinets to account in a crisis situation could prompt someone throwing the rattler and being labelled scummy, but we've reached that juncture.

I was shocked today to read that less than 3,000 tests a day are taking place there. On a per capita basis, Northern Ireland has less than 50% of the capacity of Ireland, yet amazingly, there are posters on the Sinn Fein thread criticising our government on the tracing issue. You couldn’t invent that level of hypocrisy.
TheTruth123 wrote: » Testing is no good without tracing. Where is the testing at the airports we were promised? Mass testing in schools is going well too I suppose. Our testing is good hahaha are you having a laugh? P.S its not a competiton between North and South!
blanch152 wrote: » We don’t need mass testing in schools. The evidence has shown that. I can’t believe some are still running that one.On a Sinn Fein thread it is legitimate to compare their abject failures in the North with the relative success in the South and show up their hypocritical whinging.
