    Ok here's the deal , if you agree with Enda and this "fill your pockets " IW concept . Why don't you have a PRO IW protest and see how many turn up eh?
    Then we can all have a proper laugh . I greatly respect your right to march/protest as a citizen of the state and i would be the FIRST to stand by your side to protect that right .

    When i said " Tenfold " it was a figure of speech but i think you know what i meant pedantic pat .

    As it happens I predicted quite a while back that the protests would get lost in the annual Christmas shopping madness. I could be proved wrong. So without using figures of speech how many do you expect out on the 10th?

    The Mirror is saying that she was terrified. I wonder what their source for that is.

    I do, I certainly don't think it's peaceful which is a pity really that these protests are regularly derailed by these lads

    Maybe they should of power washed his genitals

    Comparing any protest here to the recent protests in Belgium and other parts of Europe the protests here are like a family day out
    Nothing to get upset about

    Dude, haven't you heard? Pushing is only an assault if it's done by a Garda to someone breaking the law. Otherwise it's a peaceful protest. We're in a new era here, where people make up the law to suit their own actions, where violence is acceptable as long as it's against a sitting TD or a Garda, where the law only counts if you consent to it.

    No but behaviour like that I saw today will derail the idea of a peaceful protest which will be a shame for the majority wanting to march peacefully

    You keep on saying this, you've been saying It for weeks. I've called you out on it before.

    Based on your post history I'm beginning to think you act in an advisory capacity to joan and Enda. Sending them out to areas they are not wanted to attempt to Stoke up aggression and then get the media to report on it. None of which is factual and non of which supports your assertion that the Irish Water movement is anything than ordinary communities who feel ripped or by government. You previously tried to tie the clontarf garda station protest to the Irish Water campaign. You attempted to allude that the protestors are violent and sinister. Lots of government speak from your posts and you keep saying the communities will be turned off the movement by violence that doesn't exist.

    To date there has been no evidence released from any sources to support you're diatribe.


    So please forgive me if I assume you have an agenda and the agenda has been exposed.


    Power to the people. People have the power

    Crazy these idiots were allowed to hold someone like that for two hours. This rent a crowd probably dont even have to pay for water anyway the state would pay for it in social welfare payments.

    Why would you give your hamster to a group of protesters?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,026 ✭✭✭cajonlardo


    She was right about these people having loads of phones.

    Blanket assumptions are rarely right in the real world, as opposed to the virtual world that exists in your mind and what passes for Ms Burton's mind.

    I have a phone , have you?

    Mine was paid for in honestly earned cash, was yours?

    If so, what is the big leap in faith that perhaps the people in that video may have honestly earned their phones, cameras etc?

    Are you and Ms Burton type casting people based on the address the video was taken? Tell us exactly what you know about the individuals in the video and their circumstances? Can you point out which ones YOU believe that Dope was right about and who have no honest right to the property in their hands? I will tell you one thing - she sure as hell can't because she hasn't the faintest idea who the people are, how much they do or do not earn.

    She was talking out the crooked side of her Dopey mouth when she said that and you sided with her without a Dopey clue about what you posted either.
