3am. These guys have taken down every poster on a road in Blackrock [Co Dublin]. Very threatening when I asked them what they were doing. Who’s paying [them]?
What kind of party operates in the dead of night and gets aggressive when confronted?…
ahyeah
a party of badgers?
Bertie Blenkinsop
The party in my pants?
TheDude
is everyone invited?
NilNocere
Stag?
dylad
SiXT- known to be a bunch of wankers.
Same old same old
Please ask them to come down my way
ahyeah
ooooheerrrrr matron
Anomanomanom
Why not mind your own business.
Medium Sized C
Yeah. That’s what the world needs. More people sticking their heads down and ignoring suspicious behaviour.
TheDude
Its a service to the community – once its all posters and not just selected ones. The Dude for one welcomes the liberation of Blackrock poles.
Bobby
Yes, we should all ignore crimes. That’ll make it a better world.
Walter-Ego
Why not ring the Gradai and report suspicious behavior. Even if they are too under resourced to deal with it and ‘send a car around’. It’s not your problem anymore, you’ve done your bit.
No need for a confrontation.
what? is it that ISIS crowd at it again Ted?
yep Dougal
jase Ted, we’d better vote for stability and some new yoke they just made up there recently called fiscal space so
rotide
yeah, lets pretend none of that even happened and just blame the government
Same old same old
Aye vote for eh jobs
Tom
Organised anti democracy bullying…..a large number of posters on a long run of main street balbriggan were methodically slashed at the top so they would flop down covering the name and face on the poster. …aimed and targetted at fg posters labour posters ff posters….all other posters untouched !!! DEMOCRACY ????
in some parts of the country, the election is already over.
Bobby
Yeah like Mayo.
ahjayzis
They’ve just wrapped up balloting for the 2007 election in Mayo if I’ve got my East/West time dilation calculations correct.
Gaoithe
God bless them. It makes me sob to see those smiling prosperous tanned newly-hairstyled well-fed faces smirking down from every pole, with their subliminal message “Vote for me me me, serf”.
Sheik Yahbouti
Excellent comment.

I’m sure the smily-faced non-threatening female Gaelscoil national teachers the Shinners have recruited to run in Dublin would know nothing about that.
Frilly Keane
Ah here
The Shinners aren’t the only crowd fielding teachers
FFS
Mike
wtf are you even talking about dude
ahjayzis
Imagine, running an inordinate amount of teachers.
It’s not like we’ve been ruled by a council consisting of 3 out of 4 out of work teachers for the past 5 years.
VinLieger
Saw them out in Cherrywood in the same van on Wednesday evening
Drogg
How do I get them to visit my area? Does it cost to get them to do this quality service?
VinLieger
Yeah it costs a visit from the Gardai

Has there been anti democracy protests?
(The anti water charge protests weren’t anti-democracy, just in case that is your angle. They were anti water charge ,for some part, as well as anti quango/ cronyism/ corruption for the most part. Just because a democratically elected Government was responsible for said quango/ cronyism/ corruption does not make the protests anti-democracy).
Nigel
What protests? I’m talking about taking down election posters which candidates for election are legally entitled to use to promote their run for office. Interfering with people’s efforts to be part of a democratic election is anti-democratic, whatever the motives or intentions for doing so, however ignoble the candidates or disillusioned with politics you might be.
Nigel
My mistake, you were replying to KieranNYC’s comment.
Rob_G
Preventing elected representatives from going about their daily business sounds a bit anti-democratic to me…
nellyb
It’s not THEIR business elected reps go about.OURs. Unless you reside outside the country.
Rob_G
Ok, OUR business then, if you prefer.
Same old same old
If this is rock n roll
I want me ol job back
Just sayin
Agreed on the posters are a pain and this is theft – but it’s hardly anti-democratic. No one is deprived of rights by stealing election posters. If it was stealing election posters excluding one party you might have a point.
bob
It is anti-democratic… it’s all of FG, FF, Lab and Green being taken. The rest are left.
Even if it was all posters it’s pretty questionable. Petition to make your area poster free or something. But the parties with more resources will get posters back up quicker than smaller parties, so that’s unfair I think.
Bellweather
Only Richard BB’s left! Work it out, democracy in action.
I read something in the last week about some town declaring themselves a ‘Poster-Free’ zone in the run up to the election.
It met a very favourable response. (Sorry that I can’t be bothered to find it. You’ll just have to take me word.)
Posters are litter from a bygone era, and a total eyesore.
They should be banned, totally.
Sorry that I can’t be bothered to find it. You’ll just have to take me word.

This is a local site, for local eejits.

Your pseudonym of ‘Ultravox’ is either a bastardisation of English and Latin uncaringly mashed into one with no meaning, or a reference to a piss-poor Glaswegian beat-combo with no meaning.
You can only choose one.

Ain’t nobody got time for dat dese daze.
You wanna widen your knees, catch some bees, rejoin the human race and take that slap off your face baby.
Stop struggling.
Be a winner.
Attitude.

I don’t care….
Holy whatever, Christ , Damn or F***…
Or Holy F***ing Damn F**ing Fuck.
Why are the rest of you so F***ing retarded?
There is a band called ‘The Fall’.
They are better than any band you wasted your pathetic time listening to.
You are saying ‘YES’ because you are as stupid as fupp.
The band you like will die from mediocrity. They are pathetic.
THEY know who The Fall are.
They copy one Fall album forever.
The Fall are a new band every year, and you should be scared.
Your heroes are.
FU.
Otis Blue
The Fall. Always different, always the same.
Truth in the News
Its illegal to fix posters on ESB and Telephone poles, anyways its time the
practice was stopped as tax payers money is is used to finance political
parties, indeed the idea is waste of resources and money, is there a recycling
levy on the plastic posters similar to that on farm plastic
Indeed they are counterproductive as they remind at lot of voters of who they
will not be voting for.
scottser
they’re great for making unfair comparisons though. anyone else think maria bailey looks like audrey from coronation street?
I wish they’d visit my neighbourhood.

Will be interesting to see who’s dominating the lamppost this am….
Probably the same party found with loaded pistols, a baseball bat, an iron bar, balaclavas, fake Garda uniforms, CS Gas and of course Election posters a couple of years ago in Bray. Of course these people are prisoners of war if you try to hold them. http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/outrage-at-sinn-fein-call-to-free-terrorists-linked-to-td-spy-ring-26419813.html

Politics is dirty. The united nations are a bunch of fools. Two Sunday facts.
And Mignolet has to go.
Dunno who is at it, but I’d bet they’ve plenty printer cartridges to run off a few new ones…. probably…
The van is a rental so it would suggest a party that doesn’t have access to work vehicles, or ssshould that be vehiclessss
Labour using dirty tricks I’d wager. They’ll do anything to tarnish the shinners.
Shinners are more than capable of tarnishing themselves.
Posters are a pain but anti-democratic activity like this is worse.
Totally agree.
If this is their concept of democracy, I wonder what their ‘peaceful protests’ are like…
Oh wait.
Has there been anti democracy protests?
(The anti water charge protests weren’t anti-democracy, just in case that is your angle. They were anti water charge ,for some part, as well as anti quango/ cronyism/ corruption for the most part.
