Vincent Browne

Cripples are the most insensitive people of all.

:eek:

Willie O’Dea rowing in behind sinn fein’s proposed third rate of tax and Fine Gael generally getting a bit of a kicking. The good looking journalist one hasn’t a clue what’s going on really but she is a bird.

She doesn’t read very well either.

Fucking suit on Sinn Feins Padraig MacLochlann here. Is he a showband singer in his spare time?

Does any one watch VB any more?

Haven’t watched it since late 2011 around the time of presidential election.

Very occasionally.

Haven’t watched this in a while. Just made shite of a Government td I don’t recognise about sending Queen to a brewery and Obama to a pub

Piss pot poor these days.

Vincent Browne is a horrible cunt.

You take that back. Vinnie B is a hero and if we had a few more like him maybe the place wouldn’t be such a shit society for a vast number of people.

This is the guy who wanted to run for Fine Gael in the 80s but was knocked back.

This is the guy who champions John Bruton as being a great politician despite him nearly ruining the peace process and being a right wing conservative tosser.

Yet he portrays himself as some sort of champion of the working class. Name one thing he has done to show his socialist credibility?

He also acts the complete cunt on his show at times - there was a debate on religion on one of the Friday night shows and he called some lad a ‘condesending twat’ for merely expressing a different viewpoint. He also went after than TD who joined FF from Labour recently (this was while he was an independent) and harrassed him to tell him what Labour had done for Ireland recently. Poor old Vincent got too wound up in being a cantankerous old fool to realise that his line of questioning was all wrong as your man had left Labour.

Might depend on your perspective whether your man was a condescending twat or not. I greatly enjoy his interviewing, he’s about the only challenging interviewer for politicians and others in Ireland. He’s a broadcaster and journalist, are you saying he has to become a politician to show socialist credibility? His highlighting of hypocrisy, corruption and injustices at various points is all worthless? I think he’s fucking fantastic and I’ve rarely if ever disagreed with any of his columns.

He used to be good, but hes now an angry man shaking his fist at a cloud. Plus, his trumpeting of travellers as the most vulnerable in society shows hes amongst the most guillable in society

You mentioned that if we had more like him then it wouldn’t be a shit society for a vast number of people. What are you talking about there? I assumed you were on about Browne’s attempts to be seen as a champion of the working man nearly every time on his show, when in reality he has done nothing to show such a thing.

Yeah he does challenge politicians alright and that is refreshing but I don’t think he has anything behind it all in terms of the type of person that he is, for the reasons I have already expressed.

Agree to disagree. He doesn’t do what he does without believing in it. If more people genuinely believed as he does in promoting a fairer society we would be in a better place.

TFK shock as right wing intolerant nut makes anti traveller remark!

Actually the remark was aimed at champagne socialists who view them as the most vulnerable

Don’t worry mate. He doesn’t really mean it.
