    If you have no argument, resort to childish actions.

    A lot of Saoradh members were recently arrested and jailed in the North for terrorism and New IRA involvement. 9 of them I believe. It was a joint operation between PSNI, MI5 and Gardaí. Not sure what Varadkar would have to do with any of that though or why they would target him.

    The people doing that didn't hide behind a mask and run away. Where was that idiot during his time as Taoiseach during one of his many public engagements, where there'd be other people around?

    If your gonna throw something on someone why would you do it while other people were around and you’d more chance of being caught, that would be idiotic.

    If the attacker was on the right It would probably be viewed as a racist homophobic attack....

    Both are equally stupid.

    We’ve nothing to say what this was bar a thread headline. He doesn’t react as if it’s scalding coffee.

    Look at his reaction. There’s no way it was hot.

    Nice to see that some people have changed their minds about the throwing of liquids on people you disagree with as amounting to an assault as not so long ago the same people had felt the throwing milk shakes at same was hilarious.

    Yes but one has the potential to cause injury and one doesn't.

    If it was hot, I'd love to know where she bought it. Some people have no idea how hard it is to even get a lukewarm cup of coffee.

    It's an idiotic act either way, whether there are people around or not. Does she actually think he's going to change because some stupid bint thought it'd cool to record herself throwing something at him?

    Do you have a long library of people having tepid liquid thrown on them to contrast to? Getting really nitpicky about an assault tbh.

    Wasn't milkshake, apparently was hot coffee

    If it was coffee or indeed the claimed urine or any other noxious substance?
    I hope the assailant feels the full weight of a lengthy prison sentence.

    This isn't protest, this isn't discourse, it's dangerous and childish nonsense.

    We are lucky enough to live in a fairly well balanced political system. One that affords easy public access to our elected officials, and one where protest isn't a criminal or civil offence.

    If one's political argument is throwing liquid on a TD?
    One may need to read up on what actual protest and struggle is.
    Who takes an overtly "political" and certainly offensive action like that, and then runs away!?!


    I am no fan of FG, or Leo! But there must have been an instant of sheer terror as that liquid approached him, that surely wasn't warranted by any of his own actions.

    Lock this bint up!

    I doubt she thinks he'll change, that's pretty evidently not possible. She just wanted to do it and it probably made her feel good. If we were all a bit more assertive maybe politicians would think twice about fucking us over day in day out.

    Does anyone have an actual idea who this person is/represents or is it all just conjecture? It looks like a kid with a skateboard doing it for a dare.

    It's really cowardly, probably thought she would get plaudits from the left on twitter. Where is Varadkars security? Does he have any at all, if not he may need some if this continues.

    The tanaiste does not have security

    You want a prison sentence for someone throwing coffee on someone else. What if someone threw coffee over you, do you think they’d go to prison.

    Why would you have someone slightly offside videoing it, unless you wanted it to go viral, with all the chances of being caught that that entails?


    Further martyrdom?
