Cliff Taylor

Irish Tax Payer writes:

 Cliff Taylor, the managing editor of The Irish Times, has two recent “opinion” pieces which  are extremely similar to Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC) and Property Industry Ireland (PII) pre-Budget submissions.

For example Property Industry Ireland directly calls for a reduction in VAT rate on new homes…as does Cliff.

In his second piece Cliff details the “key areas to focus on for the future”; investment in infrastructure and education, climate, and Irish owned businesses.

What does IBEC’s prebudget submission focus on? You guessed it; investment in infrastructure and education, climate and Irish owned businesses.

Isn’t it great to see such harmony in Irish public life?

FIGHT!

    Is this the same Irish Times which declared on Saturday that RT is a Russian propaganda broadcaster? Take a look in the mirror, ye shower of property pornographer govt-bailout-for-newspapers-seeking pretentious sellers of 45,000 papers a day at full price.

    Instead the government should focus on frivolous festivals, hospice care, peat milling and multi national businesses….

    Taylor has been writing risible nonsense about Brexit for the last three years.
    He’s like a mini-me version of Fintan O’Foole.
    Interestingly there’s been a signifcant turn in the Irish media over the past week which coincides with the election of Boris and even the thickest of Irish commentators waking up to the dangers facing this country.

    And of course Verucca’s popularity is on a fast, downward trajectory.

    I’ve been telling you for the past thre years the man is an idiot way out of his league but let’s be honest,the Irish are easily led by the collective ring through their nose.
    But don’t worry lads,we’ll look after you again when the supermarket shelves run dry.
    Unless your air force can organise the 2019 version of the Berlin Air Lift.
    You do have an air force don’t you ?

    Cliff has never done much other than dial it in. John McManus needs to inject some fresh talent into the Opinions section.

    The only thing in Taylor’s favour is at least he’s not Kathy Sheridan or Una Mullaley.
    My goodness they’re terrible writers.
    No cliche left unturned.

        I like the way he proposed a lack of critical thinking on the part of his would be interlopers then displays a shocking familiarity with every third rate hack in these islands one can think of.
