    I just heard Duncan Stewart on Newstalk Breakfast show. He is contemplating running for the European Parliament. His belligerence beggars belief. It's worth listening to the piece.......

    He's going to build a better Europe is he?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,529 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Rads, ya ya ya


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,971 ✭✭✭✭bear1


    Ah will he ever **** off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,038 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    He fell into a nuclear reactor and survived

    did he acquire a super power?

    we just don't know


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 860 ✭✭✭OwenM


    Heard it and thought it was a gift grub sketch, he's a parody of himself.

    He wasn't very nice to Alf when he was in Summer Bay, so no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,237 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    I think it's a great idea. They can send him over to Moscow to give Vlad the Exhaler a stern talking-to about all this nonsense over gas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭debabyjesus


    Christ almighty, he even gave the holocaust a mention. Coleman should have just let him leave, he's obviously a tad unstable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 194 ✭✭Freddie Dodge


    He's very passionate about it, but the way he patronises us all is annoying.

    He's probably right, but he's still a knob who I wouldn't vote for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    Served him once in my old job and he was lovely, but not sure I'd vote for him.

    Seen him in the background of an RTE news report on a gathering of candidates and was wondering why he was there.

    No, I wouldn't vote for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 145 ✭✭MF2HD


    So Duncan "How much time have I got?" Stuart is going to save our souls by entering the mucky dirty world of politics.

    I did note however that although he has stepped away from RTE his show Eco Eye that he produces has not and is likely, (according to him), to continue on RTE so he'll carry on getting the nice paycheck. No different to the other eegits after all eh Duncan?

    First it's the Carbon Monoxide he's after, now it's Carbon Dioxide. Make your mind up, Duncan.

    The best thing about getting elected to the European parliament is that it saves the Irish electorate from having to listen to these people. Therefore I'd love if Duncan Stewart and Luke 'Ming' Flanagan got elected. And that Paul Murphy, that rather sinister socialist, is reelected.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,030 ✭✭✭heyjude


    No, I fear he'd be all stick and no carrot, favouring a whole raft of extra taxes, charges and levies to force us to change how we live.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,651 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Ah, Duncan Disorderly. Made a complete flute of himself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭Banjo String


    He'd be like a fish out of water Imo. (Isn't he the 'bald as a coot' swimmer?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    Reminds me of a dried up teabag and I don't think his oratorical skills, or lack thereof, will get beyond a few metres around him as he whispers against the political wind. I think he fell off a tree and it sounds like he landed on his head. Get back to the houses Duncan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,237 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    ...Get back to the houses Duncan.

    Oh Cheeses no, get him off the television! Every time that man comes on I have to spend half an hour explaining why paying €200 for a plastic barrel for composting our own excrement in order to power a heat-exchanger in the attic would be a monumentally daft idea! :pac::pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭Joe prim


    Is he still playing for Everton?

    Once a ****wit always a ****wit. He has the current voter magnetism of Bertie Ahern.

    From the snippet of the train wreck interview I did hear, Newstalk could almost be accused of neglect letting him on air in that mental furball state.

    Yep, poor chap puts the "mental" in Environmentalism.

    He's out to get all carbon based life forms now, just to be sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭Adamantium


    I remember when I was younger, he actually did good shows about people building houses.

    He then got on the eco-bandwagon and forgot that people must live in houses and promptly disappeared up his own arse.

    Another moral crusader.

    What ever happened to freedom?

    Unbelievable Muppet
    Here it is. Starts at 8:00. You need to wait until the full bar loads before being able to skip forward.

    Duncan - "Nothing's going to hold me back when I get to Europe...if I do go there"

    Yates - "You have to get elected first"

    Duncan - "That's a simple matter"

    Yates - "Getting elected is a simple matter?"

    Duncan - "For me it is be cause I know..." [starts another sentence]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭Green Giant


    There's more chance of me voting for Duncan Williams


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,310 ✭✭✭waraf


    Wow that's a pretty poor start to his election campaign. I feel sorry for the poor sod that accepts the job as his campaign manager..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭geeky


    I'd say being 100% invested in addressing climate change is like being one of those lads with signs proclaiming the imminent end of the world. He must feel like throwing down his sign and screaming "why are you all being so calm!"

    Still comes across as a right prat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,569 ✭✭✭Reckless Abandonment


    He came across as a total tool. "How long do I have to talk" " Im going to another station I don't like this one" ffs if he can't handle newstalk what hope does he have in europe.

    I would pay to hear him in a climate change debate with Nigel Farage
