    Possibly because she still believes in SF's promise of a free home for anyone who wants one! Don't forget that if she hadn't accidentally become pregnant or if Mary Lou had sent her a bigger box of chocolates she'd still be in the party.

    I'd imagine the banks first question would be if you won't pay 63 euro a week in rent why will you pay your mortgage.

    I really don't care what political party she was in, but am outraged by this woman. It is the sheer brass neck. She can't find accommodation because no-one will rent to her. Instead of looking at the reasons why, she thinks its a good idea to go on social media and blame the housing crisis. She is actually doing a "poor me, this is the housing crisis, I need to be given a 4 bed house". Everyone knows that income over €150k pa can get anyone accommodation!! I could rent a 4-5 bed house in Clare in the morning with that income. But I would have landlord references.

    Obviously her tactics have worked before, so I guess she thought it was a good idea to chance it with stupid old Joe Public again. Huge miscalculation Violet Anne!! And everyone has a right to be critical, and to voice that criticism. I feel sorry for her children.

    Without getting personal about it, she hasn't a hope of getting a mortgage. A mortgage application isn't just based solely on what you are making right now. It is based on how long you have been doing it and the stability of the job going forward.

    So even though she is well paid now, she didn't work in a decent paying job before it and come the next general election, as a first timer TD, there is a very high chance that she won't get back in and ultimately would be left with no way of repaying the loan. Any mortgage approver who would sign off on that would probably be fired.

    She's a chancer. The fact that she's a working class chancer, means she can't get by on the nod and wink cute hoorism we allow the more seasoned generational political chancers away with.

    But surely as SF support is rising, and there is talk of them getting two seats in many constituencies, she is nearly guaranteed another five years?



  • Posts: 14,768 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Just being a chancer and having a sense of entitlement means she will be well placed to flourish in a SF Government. Unfortunately for her, her stupidity peaked to early.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,252 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    She is no longer in SF so won't get the vote that goes to the party name not the person (as an aside, that party vote often just gets given alphabetically - there is a very recent study on the SNP showing it and it's well known in FF/FG here) so W would be very bad to have as your surname initial anyway!)

    She is not a good public rep

    If she runs again she won't get in



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    I may be wrong in my recollection, but aren't you the poster who started a whole thread about John Bruton's son?

    Or did you just criticise him on it? You know, that son with problems, who did something (was it tenuous anti-semitic links that were dubious?) and you tried to make out it meant that the whole FG party (of which he wasn't a member) was anti-semitic as a result?

    Someone already mentioned your unassailable levels of hypocrisy, but I think you outdo yourself on this attempt to play the hit me with my family in my arms ruse.

    However, while you are on the subject of Sinn Fein TDs who don't pay much rent, you could tell Violet-Anne to get onto to John Brady, you know the Sinn Fein TD in Wicklow, who is also on a salary of over 100k plus multiple expenses, and who holds on to a local authority house with illegal modifications at really cheap rent preventing a person on the social housing list from accessing it. He could tell her a trick or two to get by.

    This is you:

    This has nothing to do with party politics,

    This is also you:

    Just being a chancer and having a sense of entitlement means she will be well placed to flourish in a SF Government.

    There would be no sustained drill down on a government politician. And the ones engaging in it here would be the first ones flagging and complaining.

    She's a chancer. How much on going attention do we need to point that out? My interest is only in the curious case of those obsessed with a minor opposition indie who's likely gone next election day.

    You are wrong. In fact I don't even recall any stories about him. I know of one FG'er who openly admires the fascist blueshirts.

    Zero hypocrisy. Like your fellow traveler you are trying to compare apples to horseshite.

    Wasn't on the subject of SF. She's not in SF. What a false laboured segue. Your point is I can't comment on your unhealthy obsession with Violet ann because it relates to your unhealthy obsession with SF. Funny.



  • Posts: 14,768 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    This is me saying her predicament has nothing to do with party politics, it is self inflicted, this is also me saying her former party wants to ban evictions, had she not peaked, being the chancer she is, she might have been there for life if SF are elected. Two very different points relating to politics.

    As I stated earlier, Maria Bailey was drilled mercilessly, and would be again if she runs for election in the future. Our continued interest in her is for similar reasons to Maria Bailey, they both keep trying to use the media to blame others/absolve themselves.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    You say that your only interest is in the "curious case of those obsessed with a minor opposition indie who's likely gone next election day".

    Essentially, then, you have nothing to say on the subject of Violet-Anne Wynne, but lots to say about other posters. Got it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    I thought I might help your memory. Here is the thread:

    In Post number 10 on this thread, you say and I quote:

    "The op clearly was giving reasons for speaking on a politicians family."

    So, obviously, you do believe that there are good reasons for speaking on a politician's family.

    Then in Post number 11, you say and I quote:

    "So you cool with the former YFG'ers antisemitic racism?"

    So, not only do you believe that there are good reasons for speaking on a politician's family (but only if it is a FG politician's family), but you then go on and make libellous statements about said politician's family.

    I think your post number 15 in the thread speaks volumes:

    "I didn't read anything other than him explaining why he felt it was okay to speak about a politicians family member.

    The son was obviously harking back to FG's roots."

    Maybe you should stop digging now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,189 ✭✭✭Brucie Bonus


    I think you are finding random historic quotes to support your clinical whataboutism.

    Firstly, tackle my comments about Violet and this thread.

    Secondly, again, these two are not remotely comparable. The son of a party with fascist roots engaging in fascism is a stand alone incident. Did it go into his wife or girlfriend, if she had a medical condition, how many kids they have, their living situation, over a few years? Stop digging.

    How long did to take you to find suitable random posts to help you deflect from actual on topic comments I made? Obsessed.

    This line of 'discussion' would have been closed long ago had Violet been a government minister.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    Rubbish, pure rubbish. You are completely exposed as a pure hypocrite.

    Stop with the pretence of moral superiority over other posters. Your rabid hounding of John Bruton's family puts everything said about Violet Wynne's in the shade. Even then, you can't find a factual point to disagree with.

    Remember, you defended her failure to pay rent, you defended her bankrupting a charity, you defended those who bullied her out of Sinn Fein, and you defended her Padraig Flynn moment in lamenting her poverty. Nobody has to mention her family to point out the wrongs you have defended.

    As for wives and girlfriends, you say that this discussion would have been closed long ago had Violet been a government minister. Well, I remember a government minister whose private life was put under so much scrutiny by some of the most disgusting posters ever, that one of them named themselves after his partner.



  • Posts: 14,768 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    We have gone now from government TD to minister. You should have seen the threads about Golfgate.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    The record of that poster is clear, I have posted the links, family is fair game when it is family of a FG politician, but not when it is family of a SF politician.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    There is another thread on here where Eamon Ryan has been called a creep, and I don't see Brucie doing the same policing job over there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,189 ✭✭✭Brucie Bonus


    You can claim that, with no evidence. I can't stop you. You are dodging my comments regarding the likes of yourself and this thread, which I imagine is the point.

    Again, based on an incident as with Bailey and anyone else you care to throw in. My comments stand.



  • Posts: 14,768 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    So you claim it wouldn’t happen, or be allowed to happen to anyone else, yet MB, a serving Government minister, a Supreme Court judge and a European Commissioner all got slaughtered on Boards for their crass stupidity. Your comments are demonstrably absurd.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,189 ✭✭✭Brucie Bonus


    How many times horse, seriously?

    You are giving examples that support my point. Ministers, what have you, tackled and criticised for an incident. Wynne, harangued for years, with her own thread, going into details about her husband, kids etc., for years. You are welcome to it, just commenting that its obsessive and if it were a government minister or Councillor or whatever getting such a forensic going over, for years, the same people attacking Wynne would be claiming mysogny and living in your head and so on.

    Its a curious case. Have fun.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,325 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump



    Well Brucie. Common sense would say that a person cannot help whom they are related to. You cannot choose your parents, nor can you choose your children. (e.g. when another politician's son gets into trouble, I wouldn't necessarily hold it against them).


    For example,

    or


    (I already posted a link about Callely's son). It would not be fair to automatically hold the parents to account for any of the foregoing. )


    You cannot choose your relatives. You can choose your friends and your romantic partners. The people with whom you voluntarily choose to associate with would be generally a better indicator of your own character than those you happen to be related to. Again, you apparently think the opposite to most people in that regard.



  • Posts: 14,768 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Brucie, Ms Wynne keeps bringing her husband and children into the public domain, she used them as props a few days ago when complaining about her self inflicted plight. Her husband is in the public domain because he is a self confessed druggie who thinks it is ok to drive without a licence nor insurance. She is a public representative, so of course her actions and her husband’s are going to be commented on by the public.

    You keep saying it wouldn’t happen to others, when there is evidence to the contrary as I have pointed out politicians from other parties who have been lambasted on boards. Another one that comes to mind who was lambasted at the time was Verona Murphy for her brain dead comments on immigrants being infiltrated by ISIs. If they had used their spouses as props, and they had convictions for drug use or pending driving offences, as sure as god made small apples it would be commented on.

    The only reason Ms Wynne is newsworthy, and comment worthy, is because she keeps making herself so, and not in a good way. First rule of politics, when you are explaining, you are losing, she explained why LLs might be reluctant to rent to her, non payment of rent and a drug conviction, she is losing public sympathy.

    The fact that she's a working class chancer


    What makes her, or doesn't make her, working class? All that I saw published about her background is that she was a Protestant from Kildare who went to Trinity. She may or may not be. I genuinely don't know anything about her other than what was published.

    None of that has any kind of negative connotation of course, but I never saw anything that claimed she had a working class background. It's not really relevant for the thread, but seeing you brought it up, I just thought I'd ask for clarification from you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,325 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    Driving without insurance is a very scummy thing to do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    No evidence?

    I have produced the evidence of your hypocrisy in relation to John Bruton's son and the way you led the attack dogs on that thread. Hypocrisy par excellence.

    I have reminded you that the partner of Leo Varadkar was used by one poster as a username, in some kind of weird fetish against Leo. Thankfully, that poster quickly disappeared back under its rock once it was exposed, so at least you can't be accused of hypocrisy on that one.

    However, you have been exposed as attacking the son of a politician while crying and whinging when you allege that the children of Violet-Anne have been attacked (though I really don't see it, certainly nothing like what you said about John Bruton's son).

    I have also demonstrated that your claim that a Government minister wouldn't be subject to such an attack is completely false by reminding you of the time some bottom-feeder named themselves after Varadkar's partner.

    As for myself, I stand over every single post on this thread. I have called out Violet-Anne Wynne for bankrupting a charity, for refusing to pay rent and for her Padraig Flynn attempt to claim poverty. I have called out Sinn Fein for the way they bullied her out of the party (nobody deserves to be bullied, no matter what they have done). I have called out her partner for his criminal convictions for drug possession and driving without insurance (did you apply your lofty standards of innocent until proven guilty to Bruton's son?). Finally, I have called out your rank hypocrisy on the issue (and I only confined that to the Bruton's son issue, not to the multitude of other examples of your rank hypocrisy). Not a single apology for any of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,195 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    I am sure there are many good republicans driving without insurance as they don't recognise the Free State jurisdiction.
