    Has anyone seen the latest video going around facebook claiming that Irish water (GMC Sierra) employees have toilets in the back of their vans with free flowing pipes onto the road. Are people really that gullible and naive to believe this?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It's worse than that Joe. It is a well known fact that they p**s into the water pipes before attaching the meters... We will see how long it takes for that to circulate (no pun intended).

    Some people hang cds from their rear view mirror cos they believe it bounces a gards speed detection guns ray back at the machine, thus blowing itself up.

    If you get the right album it tells them you're doing 30 no matter what speed you're doing.

    The anti-IW side (who also happen to be the anti-everything side) are getting ridiculous now. They literally have zero alternative or plan for IW or Ireland, and also seem to have no coherent strategy or even a marketing plan.

    So they've resorted to tabloid rumours about literally anything to do with IW subcontractors.

    "I seen one not wearing a hard hat!!"

    "They've no safe passes!!"

    "They piss in the street now".

    An Tasoiseachs staff must be breathing a sigh of relief. What seemed to be a massive uproar that was tipped by some to overthrow the government by forcing an election, turned out to be a bunch of rag tag career nay-sayers.

    If the Dublin Say's No crowd's main objective was to alienate regular taxpayers and voters from supporting their cause by resorting to cheap publicity stunts, blocking traffic, breaking the law, intimidating workers and posting obvious exaggerations on social media akin to propaganda, well, I guess you could say they've been entirely successful.
