    According to the latest Ipsos MRBI poll, she's the most popular of the party leaders. That must really cause a twist in some people's Calvin Klein jocks...

    HMV? Is that where you buy video tapes and audio cassettes? (Actually it is HMV Xtravision so its not exactly something "new" but it may be for KK. :) )

    Is Joan Burton not a citizen too? Citizens gotta eat! I had some lunch earlier. Where was my mob? I protest, and funnily enough, my protest makes exactly as much sense as yours.

    If you look at the video clip on Facebook you can clearly see they were harmless soft spoken people just tying to make a valid point,

    Maybe JB could avail of the service of the Dublin trauma group to get therapy after all the trauma she had experienced from these concerned citizens.

    Indeed it does. It says that people are sick to the teeth of people claiming Garda brutality and abuse of powers at protests where the protesters are anything but peaceful and like to edit videos to suit their purpose.

    Waterford gets nothing from national government - because every time we get a minister to visit (so we can ask for jobs, infrastructure, etc) they get shouted at (usually SHAME SHAME) what ever that is - try welcome our national politicians, sit with them - tell them our problems - they may be more likely to fund local projects & jobs!

    By 'anti water thingy', I presume you mean 'finally being asked to pay for something thingy'? There's a certain cohort of people in this country who won't pay for anything themselves unless it's a big telly, a sky subscription, a few cans of Dutch gold, and a feed of chips. It must have come as a bit of a shock to think there'd be a bill arriving in their door addressed to them instead of the department....

    :rolleyes:

    For the benefit of people new to this thread, I've quoted the OP in question. As you can see, Hoffmans's opening makes, if anything, slightly less sense than his most recent. Although, paradoxically, it is more coherent?

    Hoffmans, I hope for the sake of these 'causes', you're not the spokesperson for any!

    Do you think many of them support Irish Water?

    Maybe if the Govt didnt have to give Irish Water hundreds of millions more than they'd intended out of general taxation, there'd be more money for one parent families...

    So the lone parents should be telling the anti-Irish water protesters to STFU...

    other grievances.... most of them get free money.... free housing..... its about time a lot of people actually took responsibility for their own circumstances...
    There are a lot of people who actually need state aid... but even during the height of the celtic tiger we had 4% unemployment, when anybody falling of the plane could get a job.... there is a certain class of people who have made a lifestyle choice of living off the state...

    as regard to the protest... how many turned up??? a dozen???
