Twitter (Part 1)

In fairness KH is playing the man not the ball.

But we were saying a month or so ago that the Iona Institute crowd needed a candidate or else what was the point of them. Their problem there though was that they’re completely fucking despised. G O’D is fucking perfect for them because she has genuine anti-establishment street cred that can’t really be questioned. Complete wolf is sheep’s clothing. And Holland is just helping her.

This is a big chance for G O’D to make some serious gains I’d say.

I’m a conservative anti-establishment socialist

I can see her finishing top 3 at least, if not top 2.

How do you think she’ll get on the ballot?

Holland exposing some of the trash O’Doherty has written is the very much playing the ball.

It’s up to O’Doherty to stand over what she has written.

The thing with journalism is that when a journalist has a consistent record of publishing obvious trash and being a general crank and crackpot, it pretty much automatically invalidates any other work they’ve ever done which might have merit, because that’s not how truth works, you can’t cherry pick the bits you like and piss all over truths you don’t like.

In that way, Gemma O’Doherty is Denis O’Brien’s biggest ally of all, because any work she has ever done on Denis O’Brien can then be passed off as the work of a crackpot.

It’s yet another case of the self-proclaimed “anti-establishment” working in favour of the actual establishment.

It’s beyond time the term “establishment” was dispensed wth completely, as the term as it has come to be used has lost any meaning and is now mainly used as an Orwellian truth-twisting and truth-denying device.

It’s ironic that you want a word dispensed with because it’s orwellian.

Our Brazilian correspondant is giving the pope a right chasing.

He’s probably planned it for a while in an effort to seem relevant in some way.

Ewan leaned in 2018 that the writings of Karl Marx are not a basis for the policies of the Oirish Labour Party :sweat_smile:
