    Dumb ****s were censured in the EU parliament for claiming that Assad never used chemical weapons and that it's all a conspiracy by the whest.

    ****ing embarrassment.

    Apparently the two halfwits went on a visit to Iraq, where they met militants backed by Iran, who obviously fed them a crock of sh*t to the effect that the chemical attack by Assad, was in fact a lie put out by Western powers, to give them an excuse to bomb Syria. The European parliament shut him up straight away, and then had to apologise for his ridiculous nonsense. The bould Mick was irate, and shouted about his right to free speech, etc. Those two are an almighty embarrassment to the Irish people.

    I've never agreed with Daly's politics, but in general she seemed to be quite well respected across the political spectrum before she got herself involved with Wallace. She really seems to have gone off the deep end lately though
    The silence from all of her cheerleaders on here is deafening though - could only imagine the hundreds of outraged posts we'd get if they weren't heroes of the looney left

    I see these two heroic defenders of human rights seem to have lost their tongues when it comes to a Putin-allied dictator committing what amounts to hijacking a civilian aircraft in order to kidnap a journalist who dares criticise him.

    Aren't we lucky to have such wonderful representation in the European Parliament.

    I know they voted against sanctions towards Belarus and China, while the SF MEPs abstained.



    Do we know how Ming voted? Hard to find voting records.

    I'm not a cheerleader, she was my local TD and I was polar opposite to her on politics. But she is genuine and hard working in what she does and even i can recognise that. It's more than most (or all) in Irish politics.

    She did vote against vaccine passports in the EU one of the few that did.
    redeemed her a bit in my eyes.

    Until she got involved with Wallace I'd have agreed with that.
    Since then she seems to have abandoned all principles and has destroyed her credibility.

    Can you imagine her staying silent on the Belarussian kidnapping of a journalist if it had happened 5/6 years ago? She used to work in aviation don't forget

    Here's his voting record: https://www.votewatch.eu/en/term9-luke-ming-flanagan.html

    You're not quite right about what you say, though.

    Wallace and Daly voted against, and Ming abstained from, the recent vote regarding "Chinese countersanctions on EU entities and MEPs and MPs" on on the 20th of May. This was a vote to freeze a trade deal with China until they lifted sanctions on various EU politicians (which China did in retaliation to EU sanctions on China).

    There was no vote on the actual sanctions on China and Belarus in the EU Parliament, as those sanctions were imposed by the European Council, not the EU Parliament.

    EU parliament makes the Dail seem like a bastion of good sense and civility. It makes Sinn Fein look like a party full of PhD graduates.



    Steady on now! That's a bit unfair to Ireland's best ever MEP:- Dana.

    And if it was another property developer who decided it wasn't worth his while paying back money he borrowed she would be screaming for his head but she has nothing to say at all about Wallace.

    That's more or less why Paul Murphy pushed her out of whatever political grouping she and he were both memebers of a few years ago. (The Monster Raving Cretin Party or somesuch, IIRC.)

    His "socialist" supporters are strangely silent on this too. Hmm.

    Just listening to him now on Newstalk breakfast ....

    He talking up China as some sort of utopian state.

    Apparently all the human rights issues are just propaganda from European and US right wing fascists!

    Wallace in Newstalk this morning signing the praises of the CCP.

    He’s gone full conspiracy theory loon at this stage.

    No detention of Uighur population apparently. No detention of journalists and no suppression of free speech there either

    Managed to shoe-horn in some Putinist propaganda as well

    he of course dismissed the reports of the mass detention of the Uighurs as nothing ... and quick as you like he talks about the numbers in prison in America.

    How does a tax dodging, celtic tiger developer go from italian vineyard to full on communist inside of a decade?

    There was a reason the people of Wexford and Dublin elected him and Claire to Europe.
    They wanted them out of local politics.!

    Mick has been talking up the CCP for a while now.
    Seems that looking solely at the poverty level and it's improvement since 1980...
    Excuses the policies, excesses and outright atrocities of the Chinese Communist Party.

    From the embrace of the socialist market economy and the subsequent amalgamation of wealth and industrial in the hands of PLA and Party officials.
    A glorified kleptocracy.
    The wholesale deaths of opposition and funnily enough the poor.
    The elimination of opposition and dissent.
    The coercive control of students both at home and abroad.
    The efforts to have Chinese dissenters abroad returned to China for "reeducation".
    The repression of democratic protest such as Tianeman and Tibet.
    If Mick thinks China has moved on?
    He should ask Hong Kongers how the feel about it?

    The Chinese are a pervasive and oppressive regime and Mick should be grateful both for the money they must be funneling his way, and the fact that thanks to being an elected representative of a free democracy...
    He isn't being carted off to a camp for his strident support of the bould Xi Jinping.

    Everyone knew what kind of person he was before he ran in the European elections yet people still voted for him. He ran in my constituency but I doubt he had much support in the south of the country, I assume it was mainly from his base around Wexford, now we're left with a complete waste of space representing us, although I suppose at least he loves wearing jeans and watches football....meh

    Go back through the threads on here, and you will find some embarrassing posts supporting him.

    An odd view to take given that the EU and US he so dislikes have a higher standard of living and lower poverty rate than China.
