Ireland politics (Part 1)

More deflection and goalposts moving. Pure sidney. You started by complaining about the coverage. Until i pointed out she has been treated with kid gloves. Pure nepotism. Now your argument is that it’s how the public vote for them which will be telling? A completely different metric in two completely different constituencies(boil notices aside) for 2 politicians with hugely different profiles? Talk about comparing apples with elephants. It tickles me that you were googling LCL husband furiously.

I’m black myself, I’m allowed use such terms.

I do find it intriguing that Noel Grealish makes racist comments and gets correctly called out on it by Ruth Coppinger, yet it’s the anti-racist woman who gets vilifed by @farmerinthecity rather than the racist man

I do find it even more intriguing that Labour member @Juhniallio not only can’t see, but flat out refuses to even entertain the notion that there could possibly be any misogyny at all in somebody vilifying the anti-racist woman rather than the racist man

I guess as somebody once said, 90% of something is not what is said, but who is saying it

And in @Juhniallio’s case that’s very evident, he’ll die on this hill before he “sells out” his friend @farmerinthecity, even if it means defending racism and misogyny

He couldn’t do it on his own though, he needed the help, just like Grealish does

Deflecting again. @farmerinthecity thinks I’m a cunt as he said here. I’ve no interest in going to bat for him. I do have an interest in not letting you continue spouting your shite uncountered.

True . A screaming urban Marxist like Coppinger gives Grealish credence to his base .

I’ve no idea who Lorraine Clifford Lee’s husband is

I just did a quick a Google and the story is being heavily covered

It was pretty easy to do that

I don’t need a lecture in deflection and moving goalposts

You’ve been doing that all day, I already know what it looks like

You must have some pain in your back from it all

Sadly you’re equally as bad a pain in the neck

You dont know who he is? So you’re not even reading my posts before replying? And you consider yourself an excellent debater…

It’s the central point of the discussion and the exact thing that made you come steaming in so gormlessly in the first place

You refuse to even entertain the notion that there is misogyny involved in somebody vilfying the anti-racist woman rather than the racist man

You’ll probably be telling me next that Coppinger was “too shrill” or something, and still not see the problem

Look pal, if you don’t like the things that we like then you’re part of the cult and you’ll be deconstructed, it’s very simple.

We like what the right-wingers hate because they’re evil. They have no minds of their own.

What a snowflake.

Or something.

Grealish, despite introducing hate politics into the Dail is getting a free pass because my mate is sound and not a racist. You couldn’t make it up.

I don’t know who the spouse of every election candidate is, amazingly enough

I wasn’t aware it was a prerequisite to debate the issue of misogny and racism

There is a world outside Fingal, you know

Now, did you mention the words “deflection” and “moving goalposts”?

Because that there is textbook

Deflect when you can’t deal with the central point that I have pulled you up on and you which you are clearly extremely irked that you have been pulled up on, because you know the point is spot on

Grealish isn’t getting a “free pass”

Wanna explain his expenses scandal for us then?

I love the way @Juhniallio is cute enough, or to put it another way, too cowardly to straight up defend Grealish

He’s like Richard Hammond in the Stewart Lee sketch, he’ll avoid defending the racist, but he’ll defend the eejit who defended the racist and vilified the anti-racist

He has to try and put some distance between himself and Grealish, to try and make his argument appear somewhat plausible

A cowardly kind of cowardice

There is serious e-reputation crisis management at work here

No. I detest nearly all politicians and think they are paid well enough there should be no expenses .

Here you are sid. I told you half an hour ago. You picked the wrong fight this time. Again. And you’d like to change the fight. As usual. You said she was getting worse coverage because she’s a woman. She’s not. Some of the news outlets have pulled it. Cos they know her husband. It’s got nothing to do with Fingal and all to do about filthy nepotism.

It’s distressing to witness. Then you have boro-bots like @Ashman piling in on top. Grealish couldn’t have dreamed of a better outcome if he tried.

You haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about

You’re on about Clifford Lee’s husband, trying to move the goalposts, when it’s not remotely relevant

You defended the eejit who defended the racist man and vilified the anti-racist woman who called him out on his racism, and you can’t see the misogyny there

In other words, you’re blind to your own internalised misogyny which led you to defend @farmerinthecity who used in his own internalised misogyny to deem the racist man worthy of defence and the antipracist woman worthy of vilification

That’s the long and short of it

Your whole argument on this thread amounts to nothing more than shouting “I’m right”, when even a blind man can see you’re dead wrong

You have continually blustered, deflected and obfuscated in order to avoid addressing the things you’ve been pulled up on
