Students should be able to live on university campuses. People should be able get on the housing ladder. We are too focused on Dublin. We should use the networks of the diaspora. Itâs a disgrace that elderly women are on hospital trolleys. And so on and so on, brain-farting out soundbites and platitudes.
This isnât the rise of a new political force. Itâs taxi-driver stuff. Itâs the end of the bar in the golf club after a long day. Itâs Ross OâCarroll-Kellyâs dad with a Derry accent.
Iâd agree with his point about glib one line summaries of issues/solutions being stupid. The notion that just Casey or âright-wingâ politics in Ireland is at the heart of this is foolish though. The hard left and to a lesser extent SF have built up an entire political base off that type of political rhetoric
Hereâs a report. At the time no one else raised these issues. He got fierce criticism from âthe establishmentâ for this. He has rattled more cages than Casey could ever hope to. He also did so in a positive and intelligent way. Compare this to brainfart boy.
You can accuse anyone of glib one liners. We are still being governed by the party of âthe best little country to do businessâ working for âthe people who get up early in the morningâ.
The taxi driver and golf club reference was only a measure of the depth of thought behind Caseyâs soundbites, I think itâs fair comment. He wasnât attacking taxi drivers.
Criticising austerity while quaffing champagne and ferrero rocher, living rent free, getting 269k per annum and having a gulf stream at his Beck and call.
