I’m guessing that the show about journalism, didn’t quite adhere to journalistic best practices.

I think it’s because Denis O’Brien is mentioned so much in it. I’d say Broadsheet may’ve got a legal letter.
david
I see him parked next to the gardai
Did they arrest him
Nigel
They approached the car, knocked on the window and when he lowered it down they ripped off their flak jackets to reveal Repeal The 8th t-shirts. Then they had a dance-off.
david
Were they wearing Lycra and a cod piece
Like the humour

I’d say most gardai are anti-repeal. They tend to be a conservative lot.

That’s one heck of a generalisation there.
Andrew
you see what you want to see david don’t you? No gardai in that picture
realPolithicks
In fairness if you squint and turn your head sharply left then right then left again, you can definitely see what appears to be the reflection of something blue in the right hand mirror of the white car on the left. Are you with me?
Yep
Oh I see it.
Papi
david, tell the cops how much breakfast costs in the hotel!!

Er, that looks like another taxi…unless the armed support unit are doing nixers …

Hat tip for the headline guys :)
Tom
Whats the problem? If they were wearing a repeal top would you stick up a post about them?
Andrew
I doubt it Tom.
However there may be an issue with the fact that it’s a licenced PSV and there might be a rule that prohibits campaigning? I don’t know though.
However I suspect the motivation for posting this picture was the sheer horror of seeing someone support a cause the poster disagrees with.

Nail on head. The echo chamber of the left has gone into overdrive over the referendum.
Lilly
Or the sheer stupidity of losing half your fares. Mostly, people want a clean cab that doesn’t smell of overpowering air ‘freshener’ where they can have a bit of peace and quiet without having to listen to the driver pontificate.
dan
Most people won’t see the back of the tax before getting in.
No evidence the driver will “pontificate”
If there was a Repeal sticker, you wouldn’t have made this comment.

Ta, Lilly the air freshener thing sure – my last taxi ride in Dublin from Connolly Station to Jurys Christchurch was, “Jesus, I’d hoped you’d be off to the airport” – I found myself apoligizing for my destination.

A taxi driver wearing a REPEAL top? Definitely love to see that one posted.
pity
Blocking the view to the rear.
Gringo
The driver is advertising that he or she is a very careful driver. Should be commended really.
petey
hear, hear
Lilly
Pro-life but probably ambivalent about cyclists.

with any luck he crashes, preferably with someone scummy enough to use a hate speech-mobile inside.

Imagine the baby-making going on in the back of that car
the bottler
But not the lives of his fares. Rear vision seriously compromised.

Most taxi drivers don’t bother with mirrors, or indicators, or road manners.

what do you mean by legit? I don’t understand this, are we unable to understand people have different opinions anymore?

It’s a commercial vehicle.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know, commercial vehicles are subject to different laws compared with private vehicles, regardless of whether they are in use or not.
Harry Molloy
I don’t know if you’re right or wrong about that. Maybe the post should outline
mildred st. meadowlark
To use an example I know of; neither the driver nor the passengers of a bus are permitted to smoke in the vehicle. It’s illegal, and rightly so. The same applies to a taxi driver, and their passengers, as it is a commercial vehicle.
But, as I said, its just an example, and I don’t know where the law stands on the above.

What happened to the Echo Chamber advertorial? Did it have to be pulled because of some claim made on it?
Yeah, where is it, I only got 20 minutes into it!
I think they just fixed the compression – Gemma was almost inaudible first time I listened.
