Now that you mention it though, the hound came in with a mouthful of a cheap white shirt and black tie shreds there recently. Maybe I was ‘polled’ .....who knows.

Great to see you've worked out how a UI will be financed etc without the country having any kind of debate or discussion over it. Either that or you are talking 'IMO' rather than any kind of fact

It gave them a focus other than supporting some Scottish soccer team.�� Never had time to find work but enough spons and time on hand to fund boozy soccer weekends in Glasgow. That free money grew on a magic tree too that will obviously fund a UI. A UI I don't give two ****s about either way once the real working classes don't pick up the tab and the burden is shared with the welfare classes / work shy. Send on link to any shinner UI costing, I've seen all the other fairy tales on Disney plus.

Madeoface wrote: » I'm probably in that % too Francie, until u tell me I will pay more for it than others in our society. Tis like asking 'do you want a bottle of rare malt whisky normally out of your reach?' I would answer yes. Then question two clarifies, in actual fact u will have to pay for it. But Jonny down the road can have that same bottle cheaper than u can and he really wants that whisky; far more than you ever did, you just need to pay a bit more than usual. Then it becomes moot. I'm happy enough with the status quo. I'll stick to the pints.
FrancieBrady wrote: » What else are you not happy paying for and how is it going opting out? It's a bull**** question, very few will answer in a positive way. Put a proposal before the people and then we'll get a credible picture.

FrancieBrady wrote: » You ask that question when you put a proposal to the people with all the costs, possible pitfalls and the benefits for all. Do we want to build a new all island health system for example etc etc.

Like could some unelected activist from West Belfast find out information on where a member of the Gardaí was living; what his voting preference might be; and, most importantly, what additional information was stored on that person - was there info on the colour of his house, a note on an angry dog in the garden, info on kids coming up to voting age etc etc. It’s probably best for SF now that they delete it and hope it wasn’t hacked/compromised.

Blackmail and all sorts of possibilities of fraudulent behaviour attached to this type of data base. This data base is taking politics to a new level of low. If any other party is involved in this type of info gathering they should be outed also.

This blatant rubbish is just an excuse for partitionists wanting to keep Ireland partitioned.
