    uh no it’s not. Now Francy and i don’t see eye to eye on.. anything. But it’s rather unjust to tell someone they’re posting malware when in reality it’s just urban dictionary. I mean, the two are more or less interchangeable and just as infectious I suppose. But all the same.

    Don't be worrying about me. That was like swatting an annoying fly tbh. :)

    Casey taking over Renua and then Renua having a policy on ending the TV license would be a good start. I think I would join the party and canvass in the rain for them if that happened. Anything to wipe that smirk of that prick Tubridys face.

    He needs to setup a completely new organisation, going with a basket case will finish him. I won't vote for him if he joins any current political party.

    Can you explain then why PC said on LLS that he does not discriminate against travellers? That he does not discriminate against anyone?
    Last night he clearly said that the reason he said the travelling community should not have been classed as an ethnic minority was that it did them no good. He didn't want to see them labelled or marganilsed.
    He said that he would like to see education opened up to everyone equally because education is key.
    There was nothing in his interview last night about him bashing the travellers or 'saying what a lot of us think' unless a lot of people on here feel that travellers are further marganilsed by their ethnic status?
    PC also said no to every question he was asked about what welfare benefits he'd cut.
    So I don't get how people on here are thinking he's anti traveller or anti welfare state when he's said on TV, that he never discriminated against anybody?
    Isn't he even going to Pavee Point now and suggesting making a settlement for a traveller community in the Phoenix Park?

    To thine own self be true

    there is no special treatment for travelers contained within the legislation. i have read it and i'm sure francie has as well.

    Travellers absolutely get special housing. Usually confined within their own groups.

    From the BAI's complaint book:

    ii. Harm & undue offence, including law and order
    (Section 48(1)(b) of the Broadcasting Act: BAI Code of Programme Standards)
    Every broadcaster must ensure that it does not broadcast anything which may
    reasonably be regarded as likely to cause harm or undue offence or unreasonably encroach on the privacy of an individual or raise issues of a law and order nature. You are invited to review the BAI Code of Programme Standards when making a complaint about harm and undue offence, including law and order and privacy.

    Would threatening a guest on your own chat show count as that?

    Could Casey troll the fùck out of the BAI with this?

    where did tuberty threaten a guest? there was no threat toards casey from what i saw. the BAI may investigate it but i'd be surprised if there is any result other then it being thrown out.

    Its a democracy..if you want to make your voice heard you vote. And people did.
    What difference would it have made if they have voted for the other candidates? Not an iota either.
    At least voting for Casey sends out a signal that the middle class are tired of being hammered left right and center on taxes while the travelling community get a free ride.
    The whole Margaret Cash fiasco really helped his case as well...I doubt he would have gotten half the votes if she hasn't been on all the papers the past few weeks looking for her free house.
    When you look at the areas where he got a high portion of the votes its no coincidence its in areas where there's a high population of travellers. I wonder why that is? And its nothing to do with racism.

    a vote for casey sends out no signal. or at least not one that either peter casey or any politician will care about. what did send out a signal was the majority voting for other candidates, which said the rhetoric of casey has no place.
