PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

Very Christmassy trousers

Speaking of swindling Kieran, what about that DJ fella?

"Sure what would you see in a porno, Mary?"

Try top the Joe classics Cuddihy

No it is not sad... it is criminal

And look, it's a fair question. I don't think anybody can really suggest otherwise.

I know Labour and the Soc Dems have both said in the past that these incremental changes to income tax and spending are no use to anybody. It basically just keeps everything ticking on by while being sold by the government of the day that they're helping everyone.

I've been of the opinion that Ivana Bacik's idea of the centre left (Labour, SocDems, Greens) should come together and practically come up with a draft programme for government. Put it to the electorate. Tell them this is the alternative to the current mess that we have. Let's see what is in the teeth of lefty parties that seriously want to govern (which Labour in the past have shown they want to do, and I believe the Soc Dems also want to govern some day).

Honestly, and I won't bang on about this too much because I'm conscious of the thread we're in, I'd hope they can come up with something of a decent alternative, because the current government have been in power for the guts of 12 months and they have nothing to show for it only a Budget which gave nothing to anyone bar McDonalds and builders.

Surely there has to be something different out there that's worth a go? Although I can completely understand the unease at which to change something as drastically as this would be can cause.

You'll be amazed to hear that it's nowhere near the highest population we've had.

Please don't mention the greens!😡

If there was a United Ireland then there would have to be compromises, such as having a Northern Ireland and Stormont part of that United Ireland, just as Northern Ireland is currently part of the U.K. N.I. would have the euro, pay euro prices for everything, get public service wages paid in euro and we would be giving N.I. ten or 20 billon a year.

It would also protect our economy from being tarnished- if and when there is violence up there, we could just say that is N.I. We could just seal the border and let them at it.

Would'nt normally watch the Late Late but was visiting an old person last night and it was on. Kielty said there was a lot of sinn feiners in the audience and was hyping up lots of loaded questions to Holly like assuming there was a border poll in 5 to 10 years would'nt you like a u.i. etc. Just as well I had the old person to chat with about something else at the same time.

Wonder would posh Cuddihy be any good as Presenter on the Late Late? Needs someone new.

Well the politician on the Late Late last night thought there may be, if there was a U.I. Compromises would have to be made she said. A United Ireland federal solution would aim to grant a degree of self-government to Northern Ireland. Stormont would be kept in a U.I. just as it is currently kept in a U.K. 

Well I disagree with her on that but agree compromise would have to be done. But if "NI" a self government then why not Munster, Connaught, Leinster or the rest of Ulster
