So you admit that FF, FG and LAB are making the same promises.
āAdultā politics now apparently is āweāll make the same promises as the party weāre trying to denigrate as being unrealistic, but unlike them, weāre not even going to try and deliver any of themā.
Thatās almost Putin-esque in its cyncism. A simulacrum of policy and of democracy.
SF have extensive experience in demolishing buildings so if they can bring some of that can do attitude to constructing them they should be fine. The best poachers can often make the best gamekeepers.
No. Youāve a lot of projection there. Iām a realist and a pragmatist. All sides had ridiculous stuff in their housing manifestos. That should be recognised.
People sitting on their holes shouting solutions that donāt make sense annoy me.
Iād like to see the dice rolled and have a sf led government. As you say yourself, I doubt they could be much worse than FFG. Even a sf/FF coalition would do me.
Preferably FF/SF/SD cos Iāve a tenner on at 20s
Youāre going down a line of reasoning there that is very weak in my view. People who donāt want change, donāt want to see their opposition succeed, donāt have the imagination to see that things can be done differently, or donāt have a quality reasoned response to an argument often assume the āIām a realist and Iām a pragmatistā position. Dismissing opposition without engaging with it. Itās as good as Tim or that old Sid character shouting others down. The other one is to dismiss x, y, or z as ānot living in the real worldā etc. Itās a really weak response from people who arenāt capable of engaging with the issues properly.
Shouting ātrollā at somebody simply because you donāt like their views isnāt debating.
Thereās nothing remotely troll-like about my posting. I threw in a few gentle jokes and barbs on a couple of threads, pretty harmless stuff, and for some reason they appear to have annoyed you excessively. Grow up.
Again, projecting weird opinions on me. Go back and read the original posts. Nowhere do they say or even imply that we couldnāt or shouldnāt try to build. You made that up. They point out that getting the houses actually built will be impossible. Iāve years of posts on this forum about what I think should be done for housing in this country. Iām not rewriting them now because youāre bored on a Saturday. Feel free to go and be disappointed by someone else.
My sources support my sense that Murphy is both a capable and honourable politician. Iām glad to see she wonāt be ruining her burgeoning party by going in with FFG
