Ireland politics (Part 1)

[QUOTE=“farmerinthecity, post: 1089226, member: 24”]I agree 100% with everything you say until the sentence ending ‘water charges…’ above.

I personally find Joan Burton to have acted the complete cunt particularly since she became leader of Labour and I would have no problem with her getting grief and wouldn’t have expected an arrest as a result.

But don’t be fooled. This isn’t about socialism at all. Proper socialists would be supporting the working man with the crippling USC rather than a tiny charge that has no significance. The only reason you have the likes of Murphy leading this charge is for votes. The residents of Jobstown etc don’t work but they love a good fight and this fucker is stoking it up for his own benefit so his target audience will vote him in again - the cunt.[/QUOTE]
Not everyone in jobstown doesn’t work believe it or not. And those that dont are unlikely to vote.

fuck me, simon harris

what a cunt

Paul Murphy is clearly an absolute cunt who has just latched onto this as his way to notoriety. I’ve no doubt he could have easily been as vehemently anti immigration or some such if he felt that was the way the wind was blowing.
That said however the government are making an absolute hero out of him with this nonsense.
He is well articulated infairness and we’ll able for a debate and you can see the working class loving the man who went to jail over the water charges.
He could be easily exposed as having absolutely no policies etc. but there isn’t a person in government capable of talking without saying something absolutely retarded never mind debate.

The way they are going he’ll romp home next time out and bring a few of his anti austerity buddies in with him.

Some going out of fine Gael to be leading a government with the fastest growing economy and Europe, and one of the fastest in the world, and still be massively unpopular

The working class could only dream of being represented by a man as well articulated and patronizing as yourself

Yeah, it’s certainly wasn’t out of any sympathy for Burton that was behind that post. It was more out of annoyance that

simon harris being very mature with indas retort

I was being more condescending really mate. But I wouldn’t expect you to understand the difference

The Fianna Fail crowd masquerading as civil liberties types now.

fixed for Julio

More arrests this morning. This govts ability to score own goals is dunnesque. Gardai will be fucked come a new govt

Paul Murphy seems like a grand chap to me. Always appeared to be an alright sort in UCD too. Those saying he’s only jumping on this bandwagon neglect the fact that he was a MEP for 3 years until summer 2014 and only won the by-election last October. It’s not as if he doesn’t have a campaigning background both at home and abroad for many years and it’s ignorance of his background to suggest this is his first foray into anti-establishment protests.

I think this has nothing to do with the gov and all to do with Gardai fed up with all the abuse they’ve been getting. It’s oxygen for the nutters so why would the gov try and orchestrate it.

In the normal course of things id agree with you but this has done a stand up job of getting the HSBC and the sweetheart deals given to the chosen off the headlines. The payoff will be in the watered down garda reforms announced by fitzgerald later on

The gov struggle to organise the day to day stuff competently and without leaks. The notion that they successfully organise shadowy conspiracies with no leaks is a bit fanciful.

I think you dramatically overestimate the competence of our politicians.
Not everything is a conspiracy. More often than not it’s stupidity.

That’s clear from the amount of time you spend here.

Clearly, my wonderful punning was wasted on you

And yet look at what else is happening every time adams is arrested

How many times has he been arrested by gardai recently? Zero?

How many times by PSNI in the last 5 years? Once?

Adams is raging that Murphy got arrested - he wants SF front and centre for angry left votes.
