John Gormley – what a politician
Posted on | January 3, 2008 | 27 Comments
Not content with making lightbulbs safer and more environmentally friendly he’s now going to make the disposal of batteries greener too.
There’s simply no question the Greens are making the most of being in government and really addressing the serious issues that affect Irish people today.

Don’t suppose you have a link for this wonderous earth saving directive.
Imagine JG as Flash Gordon….
“Gormley, I love you but we’ve only got fourteen hours to save the Earth!!!”
“Right oh…from now on people can only use evergy saving light bulbs and batteries”

It’s a little known fact that John Gormley is Dumbledore’s twin brother, sent to learn our muggle-ways before he-who-cannot-be-named completes his dastardly plan of having Venice disappear beneath the rising sea level.
Here’s he-who-cannot-be-named gearing up for a night out.

You gotta hand it to him though, the way he managed to ban stag hunting by allowing them to hunt down the smell of a deer, but not an actual deer. it’s amazing the way working with bertie brings out your cunning/devious/sly side.

wheres the cunt-tax they promised?

They’re doing final tests on themselves I believe…

Hoorah for Mr Gormley and his life changing policies…I am going to canvass him for underpasses on major arterial routes to allow fluffy animals to cross the road safely, and a free insulation programme for all Pikey caravans which suffer a hell of a heat loss. It is progressive schemes like this that help to make Harneys incompetence all the greater.

it’s their alcohol policies i’d be most worried about. examples -
1. The prohibition of below cost selling of alcohol products.
2. To restructure taxes and duties according to alcohol product, to disincentivise the purchasing of alcohol products which are associated with ‘risky drinking’ (e.g. alcopops).
3. To ban special offers and promotions in licensed premises and to ensure such a ban will be effectively implemented.
4. To simplify and consolidate the licensing laws to provide greater clarity and inform the public of an individual’s right to oppose the granting or renewing of a liquor license.
as if we needed any more proof that john “nero” gormley and friends are complete cunts

wow, what a bunch of assholes.
I’d like to get violently drunk and harass a green party conference now.

looks like a zombie. Rumour has it he’s already eaten Michael Martin’s brains and is rarely seen in daylight.

Alcohol price increases? Maybe Barry’s Hotel will get an exemption. It’s a real pain in the arse when you’re knocking back three bottles of Stolichnaya a day.

I’m all for disposal of batteries. The first one binned should be the one keeping Dick Cheney’s heart ticking.
January 3rd, 2008 @ 5:08 pm
i thought environmental issues is what the green party was for?
January 3rd, 2008 @ 5:09 pm
Michael Martin didn’t have a brain to begin with

If anyone can prove to me exactly what the Green Party is for, I’ll blow them like they’ve never been blown in their life!!

As a gay man, I argue that they completely betrayed us on gay marriage, so Gormley can stuff his batteries and light bulbs where the sun don’t shine…
January 3rd, 2008 @ 8:32 pm
So what happens when people will be bringing back the batteries still in the appliances cos they can’t get the batteries out of the appliances? I can hear the conversation now, “Jeez, luv that’s a fierce big rabbit vibro you have there, is it yours or your ma’s?”

Where has the Minister for Dogs gone?

Cows,that the answer,get rid of the fuckers,their farts cause 70% of our yearly c02 or whatever it’s called limit.We could sell off our excess carbon to other countries and make a fortune. We could still afford to drive 2 litre cars,use normal light bulbs and waste electricty,guilt free.If you still want beef they do some nice stuff in brazil.

I think you missed the hidden story. Prepare for a new tax on batteries.
Prepare yourselves for another “Producer Recycling Fund Contribution” when you buy your batteries, similar to the existing one on electric things.
I had to pay the PRF on lightbulbs I bought the other day.
And when you try to bring the blown bulbs back to shops staff refuse you unless you have a receipt.
I leave them on the counter anyway.

I used to dispose of worn out car batteries and stuff like that ‘responsibly’, but now I shag it in the nearest farmers field- or a local river-cause all this taxation on refuse an rubbish pisses me off. Its my silent protest I suppose.Gives me an illicit pleasure (and a half a million others as well..judging by the press reports.!)
Guess Im not a good ‘greenperson’ ah well.
The farmers can get a subsidy for disposing of it-always do..for everything.

In today’s Daily Mail on Sunday, there’s a report how toxic these bulbs are – Gormley wants to kill us all!!
