A party political broadcast on behalf of the Christian and Jobs Action Party.

Possibly one of the strangest videos to come out of the abortion debate. It’s like Dana on steroids.

Everything. As It Happens.
Sentient oul wan in video form
Got to 3 mins or so, just rambling and rambling. Wow.
He is not happy with Sinn Fein. Not at all.
more sense out of reading his tea leaves.
So much wrong with this video and that’s only the first bit I’ve bothered to watch.
-Claims the debate had no politicians…. Leader of SF was there
-refers to Leo as prime minister… Wtf?
This type of video does the yes side a great benefit.
People often refer to the Taoiseach as the prime minister to emphasise a point about how *A* prime minister in any other country would etc. etc. or to make it clear he’s on par with the likes of Theresa May, not some devolved role like First Minister or ceremonial role like president etc.
It puts the title into context a bit more I find.
Except people in Ireland
Who’s the guy recording him? Is this a piss take or an actual thing? Is there a Christian Jobs Party?
I like the prominent placement of his crucifix and notes which he shuffles but never refers to.
Some quotes/observations as I listen along (decided to keep going)
“nobody forces anybody”
“the law should never facilitate people that want to kill the innocent child in the womb for whatever reason”
(Savita) “that lady died from sepsis poisoning…. there’s a picture of her there like it’s our fault.. this is the sort of slight of hand they use”
Complains that the large newspapers would not publish his letters, thanks ‘The Westmeath Examiner’ and ‘The Meath Chronicle’ for publishing
Mentions quite a few times that the yes side never mentions the word abortion in any literature or debate.
“women’s health is bandied about on their posters… trust women, our bodies, our choice.. this is the sort of phrases they use..this is the sort of nonsense they come out with”
“the next thing on the agenda will be euthanasia, you’ll just take a pill or something”
“don’t give this yes crowd any credit for their dreadful campaign to eliminate innocent children”
I’d say he has family members queueing up to give him that euthanasia pill….
It’s not about religion, though!!
his hatred of women does tie in with the no voters view..
This lad seems a bit senile. I don’t think it’s fair to post this.
The holy spirit has him pink as a salmon!
Gammon, Zelig. Get with the zeitgest, man.
needs more pineapple
The Gammon has him pink as a salmon!
What is that Gammon thing? I know it is something but don’t know what it is.
is it related to the ‘he’s a head like a boiled ham’ comment, reserved for folks who are mid-conniption?
a country ham sandwich?
Ulsterman, its a term used to describe pink/red faced middle aged men who know it all, apparently.
Brexiteers mainly.
good jasus almighty
that has to be a fake, no?
His video about his painting of his dog is nice though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yFChgjlbvQ&t=39s
Busy fella that day. Lots of vids from the one session. Same stuff on the table as the others INCLUDING a nice well eaten pack of Jammy Dodgers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNU2_4juelY
Can we get him on BS on the telly? Ah go oooonnn!!
I think this is not a campaign video, its a piece of post modern art.
Alternative has a good wee song about anti choicers: https://www.facebook.com/IrelandAlternative/videos/989541851202335/?hc_ref=ARRdBWpacv7rObpkR6QiiVkRzhBKttJVyIJVIplhc-peAgcH-9gibsrDq_rOIqKNc4E

that’s almost as catchy as the chorus
nimble toes those priests
So I forget, is this Podge or Rodge?
omg
Leave him be
middle and old age people have realy fked this place up with the slavish following of the church and state. worst still they will defend it until there dying day.
Middle aged people BY DEFINITION are the people who BROKE the power of the RCC in the Republic of Ireland.
No I’d say it was brave Jewish journalists in the States who started the wildfire of uncovering abuse by the CC, followed by similar brave abuse victims here
I just checked and the definition of “Middle aged people” has nothing to do with breaking the power of the RCC in the Republic of Ireland.
Can we get a definition of “middle aged people”?
OED says 45-65
needs bigger crucifix
The way he says Dr. Boylan’s name at the start makes me think he may not like him.
…and when he really doesn’t like some group or other, they’re referred to as a ‘crowd’.
Thank you broadsheet. I wish John and his cameraman good health and assure them that there is a keen audience for their videos.
Fans of absurdist comedy?
…the yes side, they FUPP IT! loved that part.
Could only last for 5 minutes
…the missus would be impressed ;)
17 mins long. absolutely good luck tryna get anyone to watch that.
Move over gramps, we’re nearly done straightening our the society your generation reluctantly handed over to us
This is the real face of the anti choicers, old school women hating catlic aul fellas. Vote YES.
