Agreed, The last minute call to arms by the Orange Order could really swing it.

Declan Lynch had a theory that nowadays, the people in record companies responsible for spotting new talent should have been advertising executives, while advertising executives should have been working for record companies trying to spot new talent.
This is because record companies now tend to give contracts to artists who are shit, while genuinely good music now tends to get its big break through ads.
In a similar manner, satire websites tend to be much more effective campaigners for political causes than political campaigns themselves, while political campaigns end up as unintended satire.
That has certainly been the case with the No campaign in this referendum.

Jeremy Hopkiss is over for the referendum and he’s very confident that it will.
Thats a very reasoned and mature post. However Oireland is miles behind other developed countries in its thinking. The reality is if you offer access to something in oireland that was previously labelled ‘denied’ you will have a queue forming very quickly to try out this offering, especially in the current ‘im entitlement to it’ environment. Lifestyle abortion will be popular over the next 10 years, no point thinking otherwise. Education will take a generation. We will still need to target it though, make it uncool and something that you should be ashamed of. id also limit each woman to one extermination only and a register kept.
Im still hopeful of a No vote though.

Polling was brisk earlier on this morning in the Burrow NS polling station, demographically Ireland’s oldest voting ward.
No for-profit abortion clinics
A proper definition of “serious harm to health”
Proper sex ed (this overlaps with Church control of education)
Cheaper contraception - do we pay VAT on jonnies at the moment?
We need to stay aware of the reality of life within the womb
there should be billboards of aborted babies torn limb from limb outside the abortion clinics, similar to the cigarette box campaign

Satire has always been about delivering a message.
Mallow News has been posting some decent satire and then just some pure campaigning on one issue for weeks now.
Anyway, as I said, the person (s) can do what they want with it, just an observation.
Shows how out of touch with reality you are. Other posters have made similar comments, can someone tag them please.
Why bother.
How would you make it uncool?
Would you have a “Just Say No” campaign with leading celebrities like Jim Corr, Kieran Bergin and Fr. Neil Horan telling the young people “Abortion is not cool”?
In a similar fashion to how smoking 'bines is now frowned upon.
To score points and laugh at them.
No supporting lads, yiz have badly missed @Tassotti during this campaign.
I thought he would have been all over it like @HBV would be all over a young Filipino lady he has picked up in his car.
In his absence, yiz have been like the Chicago Bulls when Jordan left.
I took a 2 or 3 hour break from this board last night to take my girlfriend out for dinner, take her home and ride her without a condom (she’s on the pill). It was nice to get away from all this for a while but when she left I suddenly realised that I had the all time greatest ever opportunity to wind up @Cicero_Dandi and yourself. (“Yo Cicero, I just barebacked my girlfriend and I’ll be voting yes tomorrow! What do you think of that?”)
I was disappointed that by the time I loaded TFK up again around 10:30pm or so you lads seemed to be offline so the opportunity for this heroic wind-up was lost. If Repeal passes I wont indulge in any vulgar celebrating or gloating in public, me and her will probably just chop the sushi again.
To all those with a vote, I ask you to compose yourself in the polling booth, to take a second before casting your vote and decide not to send thousands and thousands of innocent babies to their death every year. This is your chance to wash that blood from off of your hands.
Vote No.
