That's what I was thinking. It kind of makes the Golfers who are taking part in the Saudi golf tour look like saints.

Can you give an example? Follow up, - or 'be consistent' and don't.. 🙄

Either you are being obtuse or you really don't get it.

Hitler... 🤣 -- SF weren't good enough..

That's hilarious, but to get back to it.. If 'Hitler' was given enough slack to ridicule the current FFG (and he probably would have been), then surely somebody in government would look around and have to notice that they are looking like fools.. I genuinely wonder would the realisation smack them in the face, or do they know all along how ridiculous their defence gets tying themselves up in knots, and.... e.g. feeling that they had to bring HITLER up..

LMFAO....

It's not so much that if "Hitler said a bad word about them" - and the fact that it has to be explained to you is poor enough.

But it's also funny that, that post came less than a week after this little gem.. 😂

Poor FFG.. Everyone against them?

P.S.

All the Hitler and Trump references are starting to sound like somebody wants to break out.

Common sense, the silver bullet to all the world's problems for populists and cranks.

You give out about the Direct Provision, want it to end, yet give out about Ukrainians in houses and hotels.....

Gas man!! :D

What do you actually propose to fix this? Do you think the government should have had thousands of homes on standby in case a war broke out in Europe?

Ah ok, so you don't want the Defence Forces to have the ability to you know, defend the state. (The hint is in the name, Defence Forces ;) )

Personally, id people want the status quo, id get rid of the defence forces. At least we should be honest about it.

Ireland has the most progressive taxation regime in the entire OECD, we have a wealth tax that all the opposition parties want to get rid of, which is hilarious tbh....

Rest of your post is fairly gibberish tbh. Talking about reds under the beds, when an actual war is going on in the East with war crimes, and ethnic cleansing going on... not a good look tbh.

Dempo1 · 10-06-2022 11:15AM

Top of the Morning and what a delightful one it is, unless your a Government TD of course.

My views on DP are not hidden or indeed my contempt for the Two Tier policies of this government, treating people differently is I'm afraid disgraceful, despite your attempts to Twist what I've said and or my beliefs not only do I support helping refugees but on the basis of Equality, what's going on now is blatant discrimination in the persuit of Virtue Signalling.

Common Sense is really not a difficult concept to understand.

Look at what you can offer, check you can fulfill promises, maybe check you can actually accommodate people and indeed see to their medical needs, Heck why not check you can look after your own citizens whilst your at it.

What have government done? Checked nothing, opened the flood gates, made an intolerable situation worse and still have no answers.

In essence a train wreck and Cluster*** of epic proportions.

So-called progressives and liberals quoting a conservative Swedish MEP with ties to UKIP, who wants to build a wall between Europe and Turkey..... not a good look at all at all. See its easy to take a soundbite here or there, but to govern you have to be consistent. Soundbites is what you get from BoJo and the like.

I see the point went waaaaaayyy over your head. The point was, that once someone, anyone, regardless of how odious that person is, made a remark on the FF,FG or Green government, the seals here would be clapping that comments on with hearty approval, not knowing of course that they are supporting that odious person by proxy.

Its like say Hitler was a vegetarian and liked dogs, so he must have been a nice guy. LOLZZ

Its the kindergarten type of debating.

Poor FFG.. Everyone against them?

LOL, you didn't read my comment did you.

A government of chaos from day one.

Publicly fighting with one another because it's a cobbled together coalition to cling to power.

You asked me my opinion and I gave it. Now you are upset because its like something the government does? As I say, you have your own concept of reality and try to make us all fit. Still ducking you calling people putin and Hitler because they are critical of government.

Dragging poor Taxi Drivers into the discussion, why, I've no idea, the incoherence is breathtaking, but I suppose its better than dragging a former, vile , disgusting monster of a dictator into a discussion to get a rather inexplicable point across 🙄

You never heard of the joke that Taxi drivers, full of their own opinions and self-importance know how to run a country? (Same is going on here.)

Must have had a sheltered life.

So no example. By the way, Soundbites 'are' what you get from Leo and the like..

Its the kindergarten type of debating.

It is yourself who's head the point has gone 'waaaaaayyy' over. The point was and is, that is somebody makes a fool of themselves, and follows it up with foolish statements, then they are ripe for the picking by somebody, anybody that sees it. A half decent leader would not put themselves in such a position to be ridiculed. When it feels like everyone is against you, maybe time to call it a day. The kindergarten debating is bringing up Hitler in the first place FFS. The vegetarian crap is just extra nonsense you wanted to get out because you thought of it, and thought it sounded good.

LOL, you didn't read my comment did you.

Unfortunately I did. Every nonsense bit of it.

Everyone here, or there or somewhere is against you if they don't agree. I get it. It's selective, and nonsense, but you've been spouting it for a while, usually to make your point in the other direction, but each to their own.

Dempo1 · 10-06-2022 12:02PM

I actually don't know any Taxi Drivers personally and actually live a very fulfilled life, I think it's you or at least your opinions that suggest you actually live a very sheltered life perhaps in a parallel universe 😉

Cluedo Monopoly · 10-06-2022 12:10PM

Recession looming and thanks to magical money tree politics and epic waste over 20 years we are one of the highest indebted nations per capita in OECD. Well done FFG. You reap what you sow and now we have little wriggle room.

I giggled at comments yesterday about how wonderful it was government have clawed back profits from the infamous bail out, exciting news re Nama profits, Bank share sell offs etc.

At the back of an env calculation, about €7 billion has been recouped out of a €42 billion bail out we are still paying for. Beggar's belief really and this does not factor in other lesser known winks, nods and Shenanigans.

Oh sorry let me guess...you think hundreds on trolleys and healthcare staff working in deplorable conditions is a public service? Money well spent. Let's add another billion to the long delayed children's hospital while we are at it. Wake up. Shocking legacy.

Because public services are the first place we should look? The main point of government is running public services. Its not a bonus or a favour they are doing for us it's their **** job.

No, im just wondering how we can fix those problems if you want to at the same time spend no money.

Like its one or the other. Spend money to fix problems.

Or pay down the national Debt.

You seem to want to pay down the national debt by also magically fixing public services by reducing the money we spend on them.

You might be amazed to hear that we could have spent all those borrowed billions more efficiently. FFG have been incredibly wasteful both at national and local government levels. Sometimes via corruption. More bed capacity, better hospitals, more staff, better procurement for capital projects might have helped in the health service for example. Thanks to FF we had to bail out the private banks to the tune of 64bn including the cost of servicing that debt. Less Irish Water superquangos too.

This is what we have after decades of FFG.

- **** Public services

- Massive debt

- A housing and Rental crisis for our citizens

You are cheering above. Some blinkers.

Too late now. They have set us up for more failure. Zero accountability.

Too late to ask Dara Murphy (FG) for his ill gotten expenses?
