    Because Leo's tastes nicer than Mary Lou's?

    Where did Mary Lou come from?

    There'll be great mileage to be had from all the misplaced anger this will generate. The tinfoil hats will taken out and dusted off. Lots and lots of Tweets that go something along the lines of "This is indicative of the deep levels of corruption in FG. Let me briefly explain (1/72)"

    Wonder how many weeks the loons will get out of it.

    So you're not at all worried about the allegations being true? If they are true would it be acceptable to you?

    Am I missing something or is the only evidence a whatsapp message asking for his 'mates' hone address?

    Manufactured ??
    So people shouldn't be outraged when one of our elected leaders goes and shares confidential documents ?
    Ok. Lets all be happy then....

    Her mother's womb presumably.

    She's currently the Leader of the Opposition and hence the only alternative source for Micheal's favourite refreshment (according to you).

    (I'm rather surprised that you needed me to explain that to you - you really should try harder to keep up with Irish politics.)

    Allegedly from her mammy's tummy, but there are other stories doing the rounds.

    The physical copy of the commercially sensitive document that his friend shouldn't have had.

    Yes but how do we know that cane from Leo - I love a good FG bashing here as much as the next man but I don't think there's enough evidence

    So - to cut a long story short - will varadkar be forced to resign?

    I presume the only way to know for definite would be to look at the courier's records and see if a package was sent after that text message.

    There's nada that directly links Leo to that though. It looks suspicious, but there's nothing in the current article that clearly shows that Leo leaked those specific documents.

    The question should be asked of him none the less if he did send the document.

    Did anybody read to the end of the article?

    His mate then asked him if he wants to set up a refugee centre with a bags of money message.

    Then his mate said Leo doesnt give a **** about the refugees its Charley Flannagans baby.

    Odd story.

    That's secondhand though. Being fair, his mate can't speak for Leo.

    His mate who is so close to Leo he has pints with him, hangs out at gay pride with him and is the only person Matt Barret follows on twitter.

    His mate that is so close to Leo he can get confidential financial info couriered to his gaf from Leo.

    You know when you price a job while trying to get a state contract and wish you knew how much all the other guys priced it for? This fella can get that info off his mate Leo.

    Screenshots from o'Tuathaills to Chay Bowes, the guy who went to the Village Magazine with the piece.

    There's a screenshot that the magazine says is a text conversation between o'Tuathaill and Leo (headed 'Leo Varadkar Mob').

    Chay Bowes is not involved in that text exchange.

    I am guessing it's in The Village because none of the big media would run it without more substantial evidence.

    Be flippant all you want but something stinks here. Looks like O Tuathhill is acting as the go between to keep the big man clean.

    I'm not denying it might be correct but you can't attribute what a mate says about someone as true. Aka if one of your mates said you were a racist I wouldn't take that as fact regardless of how close you are to him.

    The real story from the article is the document. Only my opinion of course.

    I thought you were trying to be flippant with the Matt Barrett bit.

    You were serious with that?:eek:
