    I checked UP’s Facebook page for some budget reaction ... it’s seems that even Jeff is hard pressed to find anything to get outraged about ... but the ever studious elected leader did spot a scandal lurking in the small print ... apparently the government will give an extra €20 to unemployed people who engage with job activation measures.

    The outrage ... the humanity ... the brass neck of the politicians giving people a hand up !!

    I did the same!!!

    Probably too busy working out how much extra the state is giving him. Bet he is pushed that child benefit didn't go up.

    I zipped through his 2hr Seetec presentation video on youtube in 10 mins or so.
    One bit that struck me was where he said that his grievance with Seetec was personal as he didn't want to see his children being exploited by them the way people are being exploited nowadays.
    I found it astonishing that he assumes or expects that his children will also rely on the welfare system the way he does.
    Who knows, maybe they might get.......jobs! :eek:

    he should make a new UP motivational poster about this 'set your goals so low - so you'll never be disappointed'

    his wording and all in the headline though, someone at WWN is a fan.
    Not the national media attention he was craving though.

    WWN could have a specific jeffy correspondant to keep up with him

    How soon will it take for Jeff to threaten WW with the full might of his legal team?

    In other news UP congratulated Ireland's soccer team on their home win during the week..."Ireland 1 - Wales 0".

    Just noticed, it might be later today until he realises the sneaky buggers in WWN plagiarised his work as he's assisting someone in court over Seetec.

    Apparently it was set to be the most important court case in modern Irish history .. according to Jeff. Somehow I might just take that with a pinch of salt.

    Seems the Minister for Social Protection commited perjury according to Rudd. Might want to get the Council of State together as this looks like a proper crisis in the making.

    He supports everything that is antiestablishment and fashionable amongst the outraged classes ... supporting causes apart from his own lifestyle ... cos the taxpayer does that for him

    ...ah now, to be fair he is entitled to his welfare payments, his free house, his unwillingness to participate in either proper education or the workforce.
    People worked damn hard to earn those entitlements: it would be morally wrong of JR to completely disregard other people's efforts by actually working.

    He has posted over 20 times on his Facebook profile since 8am this morning. Extremely prolific output of Ruddish since his trip to the High Court.

    He's certainly making hay out of someone else's quest. Which will keep him busy...although I thought he'd have enough on his plate what his family situation and issues and of course...seeking employment.

    Did it go to a 2nd day in court and when will a decision be made does anyone know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,703 ✭✭✭whippet


    It is interesting the context .. this is all about what Jeff believes is people being forced in to contracts etc.

    The genesis of Jeff’s fledgling political career was though the Direct Democracy Ireland crowd and it’s connections to the Freemen on the Land ideals of which are mainly based around a strange interpretation of contract law and consenting to stuff.

    While Jeff has been at pains to distance himself from DDI and Freeman movement he has defended Mr Gilroy (via complaint to the Boardcasting Commission of Ireland) and he has maintained that his departure from DDI was followed by almost 700 other members who surely are still involved with him and his new UP party. Unless he is guilty of as many U-turns and flip flops which he castigates FG and FF for his beliefs and understanding of the law must be along the same lines.

    So it now seems that we finally have a political party in Ireland who is campaigning to keep people out of work. Imagine a potential employer asking him to sign a contract of employment ?

    Are you on your oath Mr. Employer?


    I jest, there's no way Jeff would actually go looking for employment.

    I suppose ... if he was in a position of being asked to sign a contract of employment he would be under duress so to be fair it wouldn’t be enforceable

    I'm blocked from his page, what's the court case you mentioned?

    Dunno, but he has it won according to him.

    It is the biggest case in modern Irish history according to Jeff. 
    Nice to see him returning to his Freeman roots. He must have been jealous of Ben Gilroy getting all the press lately for providing dubious legal advice.

    Is he actually mentally impaired in some way? He uses english like it's his third language.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Pelvis Parsley


    He s just not very good at anything, even reason or Kop On!

    The problem is, he thinks he is, and as such will never take steps to better either himself or his ability to communicate.

    He genuinely thinks there’s nothing wrong with either.

    I'm having a bit of a problem with something.

    There are claims (somewhere?) of a victory by Damien (JR?) Fagan V. Seetec with the help of Jeff Rudd and UP. I can't find record of this case, whether ongoing or settled.

    I Googled Damien Fagan V. Seetec, JR Fagan V. Seetec and 332 JR V. Seetec. There were quite a few results linking to various FB accounts with names like We Say No, Traitor Ireland, Revolution this and Boycott that but when I click to their FB pages there's no sign of such a post.

    Anyone any ideas why?
    And anyone any how or if this case was settled....and what was the case all about?

    So the case does exist, but there's no details on the proceedings or outcomes of the case. Dreadful website by the way, so if only if there were a man qualified in IT, web design and the law to update it!

    It's in front of Judge Faherty again on November 23rd so any talk of a result is quite premature.

    Not getting turfed out on their a*ses at the first hurdle is usually celebrated as a victory by the likes of Jeffand the various like-minded "I-can't-believe-we-aren't-freemen" groups.

    Jeff has new video up ... cementing his position of being the Political Party of the Unemployable.

    He also seems to be taking an interest in goingson in the west ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 622 ✭✭✭Chiorino


    I rarely put myself through the ordeal of looking at his page, preferring this thread for my updates but dear Jesus he really, really has gotten a bee in his bonnet with the whole Seetec thing. How dare they try to get him a job or help make him more employable.

    That being said, would anyone here willingly employ him? I reckon some form of CE scheme where he can't do any real damage is the only place you could put him.

    He must be completely unemployable at this stage. Not even 50 and on the scrap heap. His only roles now are to sire a few more kids, and give out about the State on the internet.

    That's grossly unfair. He has fantastic IT skills!
    In these times where there is a shortage of such skills, companies are lining up at his door offering him...oh no, wait. Sorry my mistake.

    Jeffrey has been going down the 'legal expert' route for the last week, giving out 2 line clips from bits of Irish legislation, vague references to the constitution, and citing various clauses in European treaty.

    The problem is that he is using his almost certainly nonsensical understanding of these laws to encourage people not to deal with seetec or such employment bodies, boldly proclaiming that that it would be illegal for anyone to be cut off from their benefits for failing to deal with them.
    Hopefully no-one is listening to him - I'd like to think even his followers aren't thick enough to believe that his optimistic interpretations of the law are accurate, and even if he was proven right it would be no fun to be cut off for 12 months before winning a case.

    If people are thick enough to give credibility to any of Jeff's musings, I think you're being extremely optimistic to hope they won't take his legal "advice" as gospel. :(

    From living close to Drogheda (Jeff’s home town) I am astonished that he can’t find work. Small business all over the town are crying out for staff.

    As long as Jeff is advising his peers in the dole queue on how to dodge work these positions will not be filled easily.

    He did get a jobpath thingy about 2 years ago, he was helping with deliveries of furniture around the country. He was continually updating FB about what misery he was seeing around the country.
    After 2 weeks he went on a rant against his employer because he'd been asked not to use his phone in work. Boy-oh-boy was he not happy with this turn of events.
    This rant showed you all anyone needed to know about Jeff- not a grasp on reality whatsoever.

    Funny development recently that he's showing support to Integrity Ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,703 ✭✭✭whippet


    I remember that alright ... one day when he was supposed to be working there was a protest of some sort in Dublin and if he didn’t work he would have his pay docked ... he was insinuating that it was a government conspiracy to keep him from the protest and he was effectively censored!! Funny times

    He had a rant today about the comments section of this article.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,703 ✭✭✭whippet


    while I usually just laugh at his outbursts .. his rant this morning has actually really annoyed me.

    As Jeff calls himself the leader of a registered political party and has no problem quoting or having personal pops publicly at other political figures he can have no problem with people looking at his statements and comments and making critical comments about them.

    As I know he frequents here I am sure he will read this; and I do hope he does as he has blocked me from all forms of communications online for asking him some questions he didn't want to answer.

    Directly quoted from his rants today:
    They also further judged any unemployed people from the get-go as just all dole coach-surfers, being afraid of work. Well, to quote someone else: "You can't argue with wanna-be stupid" and they certainly are. End of story there.
    .

    Jeff .. it is quite clear that you have no intention of seeking gainful employment - your posting history on social media supports this view. You even said that you used the springboard course in Digital Media to further UnitedPeople when this taxpayer funded course is designed to get people to upskill for employment
    Speaking for myself, I have now six children. I helped to create them and I should rightly bear responsibility for their upbringing. At the end of the day I must do what's right by them - no ifs, no buts!

    This one is a doozy ... Jeff you should be responsible for your children .. yet it is the taxpayers of ireland who are shouldering the financial cost of housing, educating, feeding and clothing them ... obviously what you believe to be right by them is different to the majority. Children learn from their parents; cultural habits are formed from parents ... what you have been doing for the last number of years is teaching your children that you can live in a comfortable home and raise a family on social welfare .. and spend the majority of your time complaining and challenging the very system that allows you to support a family of eight without earning a single penny.
    No point in engaging with them, you're wasting your time that would be better progressive spent elsewhere. So the wise move on from stupid...

    Since he only uses social media to engage and rant .. anyone who does engage and not support his ideals are just deleted and blocked ... he can't engage with anyone unless they are blowing smoke up his arse .. this type of attitude is incompatible with progress or the ability to do anything positive. He can't be surprised when he is ignored and dismissed as a raving looney.
    Meanwhile, as regards my family, I will continue to work hard (including starting up a business presently) by trying to make my country better for everyone - including my children.

    Work hard? Business Start-up? As anyone who has ever started a business; it is a 7 day a week, 18 hour a day obsession . leaving very little time for anything else. I can not accept that he is realistically starting a business .. he simply can't based upon the time he spends designing rubbish clip art and posters for his ego party along with 6 children. His clear and graphic project has been on and offline for the last 12 months, it has 2 Facebook likes and by the looks of it zero customers and zero presence anywhere. The Drogheda Chamber of Commerce is very active and the local small business scene is buzzing .. why hasn't he gotten involved in any of these meetings, networking events etc ... pure and simply because gainful work is so far down his list of priorities why would he?
    ...So as others and myself continue to do this, I say to Mr Anon' Stupid... Fcuk you!"

    Well Jeff .... if that is your attitude to the taxpayers who support you, your wife and 6 children while you chase the political dream ... fcuk you too .. and I will call you out on it at any opportunity I have.

    PS... please please run for the next local elections; I really would love the opportunity to challenge you on the campaign trail.

    The questioning of Seetec/Jobpath/Tarus Nua has apparently been popping up quite a bit over a period of time even here on Board.ie.

    Back in Sept. '15 there was this thread started over in the Work and Jobs forum. Fairly interesting reading, quite a few posters making it known that Seetec are a British private company being subbed in by DSP. I wonder if Jeff's 1 and a half years deep investigation was basically reading that thread?

    https://www.boards.ie/b/thread/2057498034

    More worrying though is a recent thread over on the State Benefit forum where a poster links into United People's site regarding Jeff's massive garbled investigative report. The poster (maybe rightly maybe wrongly) saying that Jeff brings up some interesting points. The problem here though is that Jeff's word might be taken as legal fact.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057781354

    I wonder is this Seetec stuff gonna be Jeff's golden goose? He's certainly getting the coverage across the 'net. Even WWN are nicking his logos:).
