*Darragh

Unless you think the rubby presenter has his eye on leading the Fianna Fáil / Fine Gael coalition.

The bulb on that cunt.

He has a turkey’s wattle, I noticed this on the Tonight show the other night.

FF are gutless — they have no ambition at all. You’d have to be mortified if you were a member of the party this morning.

A vote of no confidence in Harris does not mean the government topple — it’s absolutely pathetic that he remains in his well paid job, the useless cunt… Mary Lou would want to fuck off as well tho - there’s an awful pang of populist band wagoning off her… she’s a bright woman and well able to hold her own but the party have gone from being viable opposition to predictable under her watch.

Are you allowed speak like that about dear leader?

anon61878697 · February 21, 2019, 7:37am

This isnt America, bub…

anon7035031 · February 21, 2019, 7:43am

Trump is a narcissistic cunt mate.

anon61878697 · February 21, 2019, 7:45am

He is — but the only difference between him and a Clinton or an Obama is just better PR from the latter…

Rocko · February 21, 2019, 7:53am

I’m not a fan of her at all. Pearse would have been a much better leader.

anon61878697 · February 21, 2019, 8:06am

I’m leaning that way myself… it’s all show biz and no substance.

She comes from Fianna Fail blood line too. They have lost their identity. Losing Toibin was huge as well as he was one of the smarter ones.

Fianna Fáil’s stance on the PSNI withholding files sought by the Police Ombudsman in relation to the murder of up to 30 nationalists by loyalist gangs run by the police is genuinely mental. Their position has been to criticise Sinn Fein for criticising the police. They seem to be only focused on two areas these days - attacking Sinn Fein no matter what and propping up their coalition partners in Fine Gael. It had been three while a majority of their TDs were trying to deny a referendum on the 8th Amendment, but that issue has been resolved.

They have to attack Sinn Fein to make themselves some way decent while they are in bed with FG. FF need to decide whether they are a party of government or Leader of the Opposition. This supply deal is a load of bollox and the only party it is suiting in FG.

FF should have voted in the No Confidence motion last night instead of sitting on their hands. If they had of voted for No Confidence it would have put the shits up Varadkar, There is no way that Varadkar would go to the Park to desolve the government. Time is up for FF now for sitting on the fence, they are going to be destroyed in the next election.

farmerinthecity · February 21, 2019, 10:04am

I would seriously doubt that.

Juhniallio · February 21, 2019, 10:07am

FF are riding high in the polls. That is all they care about. Pulling down the government right now would be bad for them in the eyes of the public so they have decided not to rock the boat in any way. I think giving the government a bloody nose without tearing it down would have been appreciated.

tazdedub · February 21, 2019, 10:07am

I will hold you to that. They were shown up last night for being cowards and being effectively part of the government. They will be out now spitting bile at SF to try get some ground back.
