    Every time I see Bob Geldoff I think about Mick Flavin’s Cartoon “Where would they have been in 1916?”. Today – he’s filmed shouting on the Thames near Parliament in London. Mick is some sort of visionary?

      The Bono one is still my fave – “Where’s Hewson? – Dunno Dev – He said something about 15 minutes of improv”. ‘You guys know what I’m talking about!”.

        Or an opinionated wealthy Irish rock star, being totally insensitive about the loss of working class jobs in the British fishing industry, because it doesn’t fit in with his wurld view – hey its anyone’s call.

        The notion you mention about them being “white” is interesting though, I’m white and I’m not a millionaire. Perhaps I should play the lottery more.

          Considering Farage was in a position to actually do something about those jobs when he was on the Fisheries committee of the EU as a standing MEP, but barely turned up, then he’s still coming out the loser there.

    Oh dear Bob,what the hell are you doing! Well the leave side needed a push from something now that Kenny’s keeping mum. I hope they leave!

      He’s (Kenny) going up to Northern Ireland, to tell them how to vote. And he would do well to keep as lower profile as possible. I’ve just returned from a trip to the UK, where the mood is ugly. And split 50/50, so the pollsters tell us

    The IT – Last push for the Irish – Ironically in the centenary year of the Rising – we have a vote?

    Whiter Britain stays or leaves the EU; it looks like the Tory party are tearing themselves apart. Osborne in particular is in the firing line. Watched The Nolan show in NI last night and still none the wiser as to if a hard border in Ireland is likely.

    Interesting stream in the Telegraph about Orlando. They are saying that Omar Mateen’s wife knew about the attack in advance and had driven him to scope out the club. It is getting even more twisted.

    I love how the papers ‘reveal’ that bin charges are increasing & that this pay by weight is a scam. We already know. It would have been nice if they championed the cause 6 months ago when the plans were introduced.

    €2 weekly service charge whether I get a bin lifted or not. Feck off. What about the annual service charge I paid in January?

      Ah shurr everyone can afford €2 per week I met a man with two pints, two pints I’m telling ya and shurr he could just have the one pint and then he could pay his bin and water

    The whole flotilla thing; Bob and Farage. It’s like a cartoon. I mean, the Thames is a motorway for vessels – how can they get away with this thuggish behaviour? Respectfully, the British public have a vote and they could do without these muppets.

    “I’d rather grill a politician than be one” says the RTE presenter who can’t ask a tough question if her life depended on it
