    No. He was 1000% serious.

    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.

    She was on the same campaign leaflet as this guy last time.

    I kind of get the feeling she might end up with a few more votes than we think, not enough to get elected, but enough to make you wonder about what crazies are out there with the vote

    Still the best thing I've seen this year is Gemmas lad outside Google

    "blocking out the sun, turning the atmosphere into a plasma, which acts as a conductive medium to transmit their 5G signals through the cloud, just like The Terminator, Skynet.......... the sun is going to be blocked out and everything is going to be stored in the cloud".

    That lad has just unseated John Lennon from my fantasy dinner party thing.

    No, they did not 'act' the Ryans, my understanding is the guy is a construction worker, so he's probably out labouring while you get to spend time 'acting' like you're not a racist spending your life on the internet doing dog whistles.

    Amazing the people going around lecturing people don't even know the facts of the story. I haven't even followed it that much and even I know he's a personal trainer.

    It would appear he's former construction worker and is now a personal trainer.

    Do everyone a favour and explain how that has any impact whatsoever on it being incorrect to refer to him as an actor?

    Well his profession is not an actor but an advert has actors. They are acting in the ad.

    I was thinking she wants to pedal her racist hate so she could probably use Balbriggan in Dublin North. Its fits her scummy exploitative narrative more. She will probably run in both Dublin constituencies though.

    Shocked at you Joey trying to label a whole area racist???

    Huh?

    Nope. I am saying Gemma will try to stir hate and racial tensions in Balbriggan and I didnt label anywhere racist.

    She will target poorer areas...they (immigrants, refugees) get everything handed to them, housing etc etc, you get nothing. The Government doesn't care about your area etc etc...vote for me. With no actual polices herself.

    I read numerous news reports on the Ryans and went to the trouble of watching the LLS interview to get an answer to this one question but still no clarity. The question is: What exactly was targeted online, was it the Lidl twitter/facebook accounts featuring the Ryan ad OR was it their own personal social media accounts?

    No idea. Dont think it really matters. Hatemongering racism is still hatemongering racism. A death threat is still a death threat.

    An accurate assessment!

    But she does have policies:

    * Ban 5G
    * Ban vaccines
    * Something something chemtrails!
    * Sack certain named people from RTÉ just because, then imprison them. Trials? What are you, some kind of cultural Marxist?!
