Apart from the optics of packing in the fellow soldiers of destiny for the cameras. Generally Micheal’s mise en scène involves allowing the women get closest, because FF are all about the women now. Then the smaller male members, because erm. Then, moving swiftly along, the disgruntled members on the fringe and the large male members out of shot altogether.
Heeheehee. Small Male Members.
Can I just say, BREXIT, BREXIT, BREXIT – Ah, that feels so good!!
So unemployment, fair taxation, transparency, climate change and other biggies are not biggies?
Brazil’s Revenue Agency has put Ireland on a tax haven backlist with immediate consequences for foreign transactions. (via @Naomi_Fowler on twitter)

When Brazil is saying we’re corrupt, you know we’re in real trouble.
Not into optics? Gas. From a party that has blinkers on when it comes to key issues.

They’re pint men
They are just waiting for a consistent 30% in the polls before pulling the plug on this govt. After this budget, preferably while FG are embroiled in a leadership heave.
Pack of craven cowards. People have short memories.
Did anyone see Micheal Martin or the rest of his colleague’s at the Right to Water March last Saturday, just one step would be worth a million words, and it would indicate action and confirm that FF are intent on abolishing water tax and Irish Water
or are all the actions of Martin an optical illusion.
Just had a look at the RTE website. It would appear that Martin still has his face firmly set against any actual action to abolish either water charges or IW. The are content to merely throw shapes about it, whilst privately working to preserve them.
totally. they use misdirection by sayin things like they are against water charges now. they wont rule it out for the future. then when theyre in power, they’ll plough ahead with water charges, and they’ll be a lot nastier about it. i could see them throwin people in jail, making examples of non-payers. its not like theyd have any moral dilema about it, they broke the entire country with their greed and showed no remorse. when theyre in power, it’ll be a scary time for all. not that its much better with FG
“Think in?”.
With what?
Its like a schools disco, all the lads one one side, all the ladies on the other. Michael is the priest making sure nothing untoward happens.
Third level eduction…. Tweet by FF’r that missed 2nd level education.
i too am worried about third level eduction
