Joan is a terrible speaker.
Can she even finish one sentence with our putting in a “eh… eh…” every few words?
Oh, and nobody cares about your personal life story, they prefer their own personal life story and how the Govt will impact on that.
CAN I just say, LET me just say, if I can just SAY – good comment.
There next campaign song….

IN RELATION TO
She is also a liar, and the purpose of this program is to make the viewer believe more lies.
Labour; how the mighty have fallen. RIP
Thankfully.
I think in years to come we will look at this instance of the Labour party as one that strayed so far from the principles that the party was founded upon that we will look at it as the end of a cycle for the party
They’ll certainly need to reinvent themselves before recovering, which they won’t be able to do with Burton & Kelly on board.

Weird little snipit of Christine Legarde at the end.
Is it to show ‘a new non confrontational relationship between Labour and the IMF'(Its not Labour vs Frankfurt anymore sort of thing), to show ‘Joan Burton speaks at the highest level’ or what?
Decent messaging but its a pity they cant indicate the same with the Eurogroup and Ireland’s short lived ‘special case status’
christ on a unicycle
And does Joanie think that Papa Burton with ‘the little bit extra of work he was getting’ was completely tax compliant? Jebus if someone nowadays worked a bit on the side to make ends meet the Revenue would chase them to the ends of the earth for their cut.
the Tsar is off screen to the left.
Got a little bit sick in my mouth

Thanks for the warning BS.
Labour will be close to their historic level of 12% after this election. We blame them for much of what this government has done but they were a minor party.
For those of us in the left (and there a few on BS) we have to ask the question how will our voice be heard around the cabinet table when decisions are made?
I disagree with a lot of what Labour have done but the FG manifesto in 2011 was frightening for anyone who believes in an economically progressive country.
I’m unwilling to give FG and other right wing parties free rein to set the progressive left back 20 years.
I mock
Anyone
Who refers
To
labour
As the “left”
Please stop.
There is no right or left wing in irish mainstream parties anymore. When you have Fine Gael voting through increases in minimum wage (which is still too low) and labour voting through troika policy slapping terms on parties is meaningless.
They are just sloshing around the middle trying to appease as many of the swing voters as possible. They are all pro business, pro workers , pro public services etc etc

But it’s good to slap them with a week old fish when they claim to be on the left
that’s standing up for worker’s slogan is sickening, they spent the last few years in power doing the exact opposite.
They’ll be ‘standing up ‘ for whatever they like if I can get near enough to them to administer a good kick in the hole.
They’ll be “standing up” because they’ll have lost their seats.
