Sinn Fein - Populism and Partionism

Iā€™m not anti one party, but rather anti all of them. This is a nonsense arrangement.

Government is the problem.

Yeah, itā€™s like kicking the ball back to the keeper after the opposition put it out of play when their player is injured.

Yes. An omnibus-type Bill, with no pre-legislative debate, that gives the government continued ability to put the country into lockdown is exactly like kicking a ball back to a goalkeeper.

Agreed. Whether itā€™s for a Christian Eriksen near tragedy or a mere incidental collision with no lasting effect, the ball should be returned to the keeper and the etiquette should prevail.

Good stuff. We also agree that SF are the most two-faced shower of cunts to grace Irish politics.

FAO @Bandage. Any thoughts on this from last year? What changed since last November?

Bumped for me auld pal @Bandage

Remind me to get back to you on this in the next few days, pal.

It canā€™t be easy when you find out the political party you love has lied to you. You should move quickly from denial to frustration, if thatā€™s any consolation.

Sinn FĆ©in on Twitter: ā€œAfter a lifetime of work, Sinn FĆ©in believe that a worker should be able to retire on the full pension rate of pay at 65, or continue to work if they choose to do so. It is not just, to make people work an extra year, or to rely on jobseekerā€™s allowance of ā‚¬203p/w @ClaireKerrane https://t.co/Rbo6TyN0t3ā€ / Twitter

Itā€™s a lovely idea.

Sad to see partitionist behaviour by them voting to increase the pension age up North.

What has NI to do with here?
Anyway, weā€™re heading for a crisisā€¦ something has to be done. 67 is a grand age to retire - shur, weā€™ll still be getting under 30 minute 5ks in our 60s such is the wonders of modern science and dietary advances.

As life expectancy increases the pension age has to increase or else the pension amount fall dramatically. Refusing to acknowledge that is complete populism.

Youā€™re not factoring in the strong protestant work ethic up northā€¦ Those boys will want to work until they are 80.

The lads in government are looking to increase it by ā‚¬5 arenā€™t they? Populism is not solely the province of SF.
