Referendum on Gender Equality (THREADBANS IN OP)

I went back as far as 2000, here are the turnout figures, avg turnout 49% so slightly down if its 45%

Who wants to play a drinking game with misinformation and disinformation, we'll be drunk by 1

Whoever thought of the ‘international women’s day’ stunt needs to think again- deleting woman in the home from the constitution because it is an archaic idea ?

*when women are still the ones having the babies.

*Women are still the ones doing the bulk of the child rearing, be they parent or child minder-

And when many many grandmothers are supporting young families by surrendering their retirement on childcare -

and finally insult on top of injury - when many women ( and men) are saving the state €billions by minding those in need of full time care in their homes for years and years - while care facilities are closing down or being handed over to for profit entities -

archaic / Old fashioned ? or current and continuing reality for many many women.

Will Sinn Fein come out now and say that's the end of the Citizens Assembly. They are supposed to be the Opposition.

If that was through it will br a very busy time in the office as the women will be at home in the kitchens.

Neale Richmond dropped the bombshell last December on Virgin Media. Probably a factor in why the referendum was lost.

It might finally put manners on him.

As many of us have been saying on here for some time, this Government, our political class, our media and our Feminists are completely out of step with the ordinary people of this country....it's like when the Catholic Church lost their cultural authority in this country in the 80s/90s....except if possible and probably as a result of social media, this generation of ideological "progressives" are even more arrogant, more narcissistic than the Bishops/clergy were, this is just one electoral defeat, but the first of many!!!

In a normal country there would be resignations left right and centre after a debacle like this...a country in crisis at almost every level of society and our "betters" thought this was the issue that needed attention, but this is Ireland, expect to see a step up in the clamp down of free speech, the silencing of alternate views, the dialing up of hateful rhetoric from our political class who are simply too dumb to understand what is happening!!

I personally dislike Toibin and disagree with many of his opinions. However, Michael McDowell is a very capable person who we could do with being back in government. Sensible, logical and knows his brief.

A Freudian slip

And Maie Stein

Next stop Mcentees hate speech bulls...t
