Once upon a time we had to put up with their buffoonery, in fact we still do as our wages are slashed, taxes increased, so that we can pay off their good friends the bankers who lent too much money to their developer buddies, after rubbing shoulders with them in the tent at the Galway Races.

Dan_Solo wrote: » What is "democratic" about an air show? Having an airshow is democratic but not having it isn't? I don't remember being asked to vote for it either way. End of story is that not enough people supported it so it is gone. GAAW nothing to do with it really, just nobody gave a hoot so it died a death.
Amhran Nua wrote: » What does that have to do with the Galway airshow? If the Russian navy shelled Cork harbour I guarantee the GAAW would be there front and centre cheering them on. They're what the Russians called "useful idiots", and say what you like about the Russians, they are past masters at manipulating the lesser lights.

Dan_Solo wrote: » So popular nobody could be arsed to pay a bean for it. Awfully popular that. If it's anti-democratic not to have it, then it is simple (not simple enough perhaps?) logic that it is "democratic" to have an airshow? Show me the ballot papers then. Lamented? Nope, haven't heard a single person mention it until this thread TBH, sorry.

Dan_Solo wrote: » I deny you have any sense in your posts. Sure all the pro-air show people are CIA and MI5 plants with Nazi sympathies and they'd love to see Ireland invaded by British Army as they love the RAF and the Queen. Easy this, isn't it?

Dan_Solo wrote: » Makes no sense. Ask him what? Why he'd rather not be in the Labour Party now anyway? Do you just stick the words "Joe Higgins" into a bunch of otherwise randomly selected words and assume it's biting critique of leftist politics in Ireland?

We Need Community wrote: » Justification maybe, not destruction to the extent they did, Afganistan as a country had nothing to do with the attacks, Al Queda were just using it as a base. Think of it from a different perspective if it was the IRA that carried out the attacks would the USA be justified in going to war with Ireland killing thousands of civilians with no connections to the IRA.
