Really? Itâs nothing to do with getting up in morning. Even other parties like SD have called it out as referencing sexuality.
The tweet sent by Mr Stanley following Mr Varadkarâs election as leader of Fine Gael read âYippee 4 d tory. itâs Leo. U can do what u like in bed but donât look 4 a pay rise the next morningâ.
Sinn Fein have created this culture. Itâs not good for anybody but they canât start the game and then run away when they donât like where it goes.
As Iâve said I can see why they call it homophobic for political advantage but itâs not really. The racism however is just as serious and Simon says itâs in there. Where ?
To me that looks like Stanley is saying that Fine Gael are using a liberal stance on social issues such as gay marriage - a stance which is popular with young people - to mask a general anti-worker stance. Which is a fair enough point of view. Itâs done in an inarticulate way but it doesnât reference Varadkarâs sexuality and to call it homophobic seems to me to be nonsense.
You should have to pass a spelling and grammar test to be a public representative. Imagine an elected individual composing that tweet, regardless of the content of it
