    Sinners are going to surge next election.

    Remember we never had them politically active here during the troubles. If this continues ...i see people voting for them more not less. And indies like this are NOT helping.

    I mean of all the useless exercises that have zero to do with Ireland.

    A superb book. It takes pride of place on my shelf alongside his other seminal work 'Population Booms in Irish Lunar Colonies 1950-1980, A Retrospective'

    The EU released a brief and curt statement saying this was NOT a sanctioned trip and had nothing to do with it, they went further by stating all non essential trips are postponed just to add a little dig.

    Whilst this trip could not be described as a holiday, I'm not at all sure what it was about. Completely pointless and provocative.

    One thing that does amazes me is the fact, I'd doubt Wallace could find Iraq let alone Rosslare on a map if asked too.

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    They certainly don't come across as the sharpest, but I think they mean well, we have been largely ignoring the so called military industrial complex, just so we can maintain our American corporation stance

    I don't know there are a lot of people who don't mean half the political **** they say.

    I mean who is to say later down the road we won't find out there was some financial incentive. I am not accusing. But I am wondering.

    True, but we must elect someone, I do suspect both mean well, and our relationship with this complex does need to be highlighted, we are suppose to be a nutural country, but that doesn't really seem to be the case in reality

    Wallace, sadly has proved time & time again there's always an agenda behind everything he does or says, whatever about meaning we'll both we're extraordinaryly ill informed and certainly clueless on the matter at hand. Miss Daly just seems to tag along with Wallace"s general absurdities.

    I'm just trying to imagine any intelligent public representative looking at the video and photo's with a straight face and thinking, WTF, did I actually do that?

    I know plenty of people living in both these bellends constituencies who have spent the last 4/5 years attacking Trump Biden Boris etc etc and yet fair to see the irony here. Has politics in this country ever been in a worse place?

    Pure and utter shambles.
    Our choices are either FFG or Sinn Fein to lead the next government. We would do much better with a group of Independents until they get their footing and form a party for the disenfranchised people in this country. FFG are truly appalling in their appeasement of a tiny minority and the manner in how they ignore the majority in their voter base. The protest votes against them in the next election will be even more substantial than the last one.

    that's an interesting way to describe them

    I doubt they actually have any agenda apart from enriching themselves and causing as much controversy as possible for a few head lines

    they were an embarrassment before they were in Europe now they are an international embarrassment

    Because Independents like Shane Ross did such a stellar job when they finally got out of the ditch and into power?

    This thread no longer appears to be light-hearted in fitting with the AH Charter.

    It can however continue to be discussed in Current Affairs:
