Fianna Fáil TD Sean Fleming
“Rather than just complaining and [asking] ‘What’s the Government going to do for me?’, you can actually have a serious impact on your own finance, but it involves people having to do some work themselves.”
Sean Fleming on RTÉ Radio One’s Drivetime
Last night.
Meanwhile…
“I did not intend to imply people shouldn’t complain about the cost of living, that wasn’t my intention and for that I apologise.
“I was urging people to also shop around for best value, in addition to the measures being taken by the Government.
“The Government and Fianna Fáil take the issues around the cost of living very seriously. We are taking action to help ease the cost of living pressures many are currently facing.”

This morning.
Sean Fleming apologises for ‘tone deaf’ cost of living remarks (RTE)
silly peasants
may e he’d like my three bean curry recipe, he could offer it to the nation as an apology
‘fleming’s brimstone’.
mmmmm
Out. Of. Touch.
you’re out of touch
you’re out of time
but I’m out of cheap laughs when you’re not around
He’s right though.
Why apologise ?
Knock the fags and booze on the head.
Give Santa Ponsa a miss this year.
Do you REALLY need those Garth Brooks tickets ?
Netflix AND Prime ?
Yes to all of those. They are all things that people are used to having as a part of modern life. (I’d pass on Garth Brooks though)
And if you’re having to decide between the tenner for Netflix or Prime, you’re in deep doo-doo financially and you need bloody help.
There’s a bang of the Joan Burton’s off this entire thing.
“The water protestors have very expensive looking phones”
‘two-pint man’
Apologise for what? The place is full of eegits looking to be offended. Anyway, food was never as cheap.
Aye, first time in the history of civilisation that poor people have been fatter than the rich.
Top tip to survive the hard times – don’t base your diet on food that comes in packaging with a picture of the food on it.
And those green and brown things ? They’re called vegetables.
He’s not the first:

let them eat cake
Especially made from a recipe by Vanessa of this parish.
What a temptress.
I’ll never look at an almond finger in the same way again …
they are supposed to go in your mouth Terry
I thought that was V’s creamed horn ?
I should have read that comment first. she also spent €410 on her hairdo at a fàs junket in Florida. That is a lot of polish for a lot of turd.
indeed, it’s a roll in glitter
Mary Harney said something similar to the peasant folk, before flying off by helicopter to open her friends shop, at the expense of the taxpayer of course. So important was she that she didn’t have time to sit in a car for the journey but she had to take a whirlybird and charge it back to the plebs.
I love politicians, stand up guys the lot of them!

the idea that people should be responsible for their own finances is insane
The governments insane carbon tax is driving alot of these price increases.
Shhhhh… Jesus Christ man.
You’ll wake the sleeping Nigel
He was elected on the 11th count, hopefully his constituents remember his bullsh*t when the next election rolls around.
The supposition that the less well off financially don’t know how to cut their cloth accordingly and by extension should be denied even the smallest of luxuries is a gross stereotype.
