The wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein (part 3) Mod Notes and Threadbanned List in OP

This as a result of the HPV vaccine flip flop? The SF numbers are worse than Republican supporters in the US (which are probably more up to date).

Expecting Sinn Fein to provide leadership is a forlorn hope.

Dearie me. What are you trying to say?

That’s what a lot of folk are worried about, with these party political broadcast opportunities.

Rarely asked the hard questions, and when they are it’s all waffle and smoke and mirrors.

Middle Ireland is watching and noting…………..😎

A very accurate summary of the situation. The hypocrisy of SF is not unexpected however.

Listened to ML interview this morning.

(1) she was asked how all the projects were going to be paid for and she DID NOT answer the question in any shape or form. She was VERY BADLY caught out. She only stutters, hesitates, blusters, very vague utterances , etc , etc, when caught out and she DID a lot of it. She than went on to say that SF has a lot of work done on it and yet could not give any figurative updates on where it’s at at the moment. This question has Been asked of them for a good few years now so surely it , at least, broadly worked out how it will finance what it is proposing at each juncture. SF used to be a bit specific eg anyone earning over €100,00 will be subjected to a progressive rate of tax - the rate going higher the more you earn

Eoin o Brion is very good at what it would do re more housing and rattles off how it can be funded.

MORE WAFFLE HOT AIR

when asked about the health system and the problems therein.

one of the problems raised was the lack of staff including consultants - who she said are getting paid enough. Then the discussion moved onto doctors / consultants working overseas. She said that the main problem she has come across with them - so that they will come home if resolved - is accommodation. Her actual words were “ where will they live”? Now if doctors/ consultants have a problem with accommodation then there is LITTLE or NO HOPE for most of the rest of us apart from those millionaires that ML and other SF spokespersons constantly refer to.

Its comic the ML is now trying to show empathy for those ‘poor’ overseas doctors - coming back with much more skills / experiences than they went out with- so as to widen her SF voting fraternity.

if she did ‘consult’ with the medical overseas medical fraternity she probably misunderstood what they were saying.

what they probably meant “ which hhospital will I take up the job offer and following on from that - work base now sorted- which of the 4 or 5 suitable houses will I go for. That’s the “ where will I live 🤕” that they will have. The same will apply if renting. I very much doubt if money, house prices would be an issue.

and by the way, the vast majority of the medical profession - who take their work seriously- are worth every penny they get. It’s extremely important work with lives at stake and those lives have families around the, who can also be massively impacted upon - depending on outcomes

I'll take a listen later, but it may be a shift in how the media are going to deal with SF.

No longer will they be treated like some anti-establishment left-wing party of old, who say populist stuff that no one believes.

If SF are to be a serious party of government then they will have to be clear and concise with the truth and tell us exactly who and how are we going to pay for all their programs.

SF unfortunately have an extreme free market approach to housing demand but a very restrictive approach in supply.

That's going to cause problems for them.

Also came across Wendy Lyon, a SF activist in Dublin.

Where is a party that says it is for the working class having a person like that in them.

There is now a very stark class divide, especially in Dublin and Cork SF between the activists and the voter base of the party.
