      Fair old kicking for the Social Democrats too. And SF. Do you think They will hear the tinkling of pennies dropping?

        what are you on about it been a kicking for SF? They won the seat in DMW and takes them closer to the prospect of coalition at the next GE

    And lo, there came one to the place of the tribe of the foreigners (an ancient appellation handed down to us by our revered, traditional Dinnseanchas), who cried “Foreigners are bad! Foreigners are scary! Foreigners will take your jobs and your houses and lie down with your women!” (The latter cry uttered without a blush). And also “Foreigners are going to cause problems sufficient to make you weep and wail and tear out your hair!”

    But the people of the place of the tribe of the foreigners heeded not these warnings (and why would they?) and when time came to elect as their representative one who best reflected their concerns and interests they rejected the one who bleated on and on about foreigners and being first to be eliminated was the fate that befell the crying one.

    And the Sorosites looked on and sniggered. For it gave them feelings of warmth and fuzziness to see the one who cried out against the foreigners being given a smiting by the people of the place of the tribe of the foreigners.

      94% of Pakistanis believe that a woman who commits adultery should be stoned to death- does it not follow that the same percentage of Pakistanis now living in Ireland, some illegally, believe the same?

      I am no Gemma fan but ffs- no matter what the law- hanging a live animal by the back legs IS happening and cutting its throat is NOT something we should welcome. The British veterinary society has roundly criticised such practice and despite our paper law- it is long overdue that the Irish did the same.

      Ban it in all forms, including ‘stunned’- The Sharia rule of necessity over obligation negates the requirement so in other words- a demand for Halal is cultural not religious. We are good for culture thanks- including the ‘steamers’- especially the steamers.

        “Didn’t come up at all on the doorsteps…”

        Mind if I file you under ‘Crank’?

          Not at all- also what ever other label makes you feel good. I like racist myself but that’s a very crowded pigeon hole these days.

          1. Fearganainm

            But the illogical segue from attitudes to stoning in Pakistan – where, incidentally, no legal lapidation has been carried out – to halal slaughtering smacks more of crankiness than it does racism. A touch of incipient bigotry perhaps but not enough material available to qualify you for the ‘racist’ category. Anyway, I already put you down under ‘Crank’ and I’m not opening my notebook to erase it.

    LCL is looking well
    And Verona is going to get the beatdown she deserves
    Can you believe Charlie Flanagan is considering running Verona in the GE?
    He said it on the News
    And he said it with a straight face

    1. Ron

      bit she didn’t get a beatdown. for all her comments she polled very well and may indeed be in place for a seat at the next GE. FG will mobilise everything they have at the next GE
