Simon Harris

Varadkar wasn’t very popular really, it’s remarkable to ended up being Taoiseach.

I know someone in the Taoiseach’s office. While Harris is off at the Ploughing and the Rose and commenting on anything that moves, the day to day work is piling up on his desk.

He looks fairly shook in that photo. Like a fella that is waking up frozen at 7am, having fallen asleep in the hotel reception at the afters of a wedding.

The word is that Harris doesn’t want to call an election until after the Paddy’s Day junket in March. But now that there is a new US junket announced for next month, maybe he’ll go after that.

The Dail has to be dissolved by February 19th. I’m not sure what that means for the latest election date, how long you can drag a campaign out for. But I don’t think it would be a clever election move at all to be seen swanning around Washington a week before an election, I think it would backfire badly.

Have the scales finally fallen from Clifford’s eyes? He previously engaged in a shameful attempt at both sidesing as regards violence and the threat of violence by the far right.

That’s actually a decent column though. Harris’s comments were indeed a disgrace.

Paul Murphy filleted him on bog 3 last night.

That’s a decent article. I started it wanting to disagree with Clifford and thinking I’m glad Harris is finally acknowledging immigration is a problem and ended it sort of agreeing with Clifford.

I absolutely despise the phrase ‘bog 1/2/3’ for Irish TV channels. Associate it with the worst type of cunt. Although I don’t think Mike hunt is a cunt despite his name

Mick has gone further right in his columns and podcast in recent years. I was disappointed in him as i thought he was fairly reasonable in the past. He lives near me and his kids are in the gaa club and he always seemed an alright sort. It is indeed a good column.

That’s a good column. I first looked at buying a house twenty something years ago and the housing market was a mess, it’s been a mess ever since and seems to be getting worse.

I think he suffers with crohn’s disease and he can often look washed out. It can’t be easy to be dealing with in a job like his. Note this does not in any way mitigate his cuntishness.

If Harris is unhappy with country’s immigration policy, maybe he could have a chat with the man in charge of the place and see if he can get something done?

I’ve never heard this term, ever.

the last thing he wants is to be seen anywhere near helen mcentee

I find Helen McEntee extremely attractive. (Her hoop rather than her politics)

I know a few Indo sports journalists who have seen it in the flesh and it’s impressive. She was happy to have it exposed walking around the house when courting one of them back in the day.
Ps it wasn’t Curt

Like Putin or Trump?

Very niche, almost personal analogy :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
