Fianna Fail has shown a modest increase in popularity in a recent poll. I do wonder why this is.
Perhaps it is the sterling way in which they managed the country during the cold weather? You know, the way the airport was closed because a few cms of snow, the education minister closing the schools for no good reason at all, the transport minister sunning his bollocks somewhere else when the roads were impassable and we ran out of grit and the inability to provide basic public services.
Maybe it was when large swathes of the country found themselves without running water that they decided Fianna Fail was the party for them. When, in 2010, a European capital city doesn’t have water it really does wake you up to what a good job the adminsistration is doing.
I wonder if the Taoiseach’s supplicant, craven response to the Vatican over the obstructive behaviour of the Papal Nuncio had a part to play too. Nothing displays leadership like fawning all over an organisation that has systematically raped and abused children for decades without ever being held accountable.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the decision to hold the banking inquiry in private and their ability to bitchslap their government partners, The Greens, that got people back on side. The Greens say “We want this! We won’t stand for that”, and end up crawling away, tails between their legs, thanking their lucky stars that “that” was all they got and not a box in the ears to go with it.
Is it the piece of financial genius that is NAMA that will cast us all into debt so we can bail out corrupt, useless banks like Anglo, while the same coterie of executives who got us into this mess are tasked with getting us out of it with not the prospect of even one prosecution in sight? The ordinary investors who gambled, admittedly, and lost are left without their life savings, the bankers get their money back and another turn. It’s hard to see how that wouldn’t draw people back in.
Are we overlooking the fact a government minister compared being followed around by the press to violent sexual assault, saying he feared ‘waking up every day and being raped’? If that didn’t generate the rightful amount of sympathy for poor Martin Cullen then we are a heartless lot and no mistake. I hope the Rape Crisis Centre took time away from those people who had actually been raped to help him out. Priorities, and all that.
I mean, all those things, and more, would make a man foolish if he chose to ignore them and continued to seek change in the way his country was run.
Or maybe the FF supporters who were just embarrassed to admit to poll-makers that they were still FF supporters, no matter how corrupt, no matter how dangerously, life-treateningly incompetent their party were, are now filled with the courage of their convictions once again.
The cunts.
supplicant. New word thanks.
You should go on Barry Murphys new programme with your headlines…
Watched the first 15 minutes of the first episode. As someone said to me “You know you’re in trouble when the funniest person on the show is Terry Prone”.
It’ll be a long hard fight to reduce Fianna Fail to an insignificant party. Who are all the thick ignorant village idiots going to vote for instead?
I just hope Martin Cullen can get over his ordeal soon. He shouldn’t have to suffer that treatment on his own….
…… They should all be made feel the same.
Haha, what a fucking idiot he is.
From The Times today……”Mr Cullen said the rule of thumb among politicians was you couldn’t survive if you appeared on the front of the Sunday newspapers for three weeks running. Yet he had spent 13 weeks in a row on the front page of the Sundays”.
Did he go according to the rule of thumb? Did he shite.
I’d say that poll (survey) which shows a 2 point increase in support for the government is a reflection of Christmas distraction among the punters. This is a well-known phenomena in political polls held around this period. People get distracted from their hatred at this time!
As for the sickening comparison made by Cullen it just goes to show what a low-rent Fianna Fail cunt will stoop to to try and deflect justified anger.
It does give the lie to what the rent boys in Mount St are trying to portray on the net in Irish forums- they claim that their support is fine but it clearly isn’t if that scut is whinging.
“I’d say that poll (survey) which shows a 2 point increase in support for the government is a reflection of Christmas distraction among the punters. This is a well-known phenomena in political polls held around this period. “
It’s not working for Obama.
I know there’s loads of shit wrong with these cunts and the cunts who support them but another one that gets on my wick is Willie O’Dea. He was found to have lied to the courts and has not resigned. Fucking incredible. As for that Martin Cullen stuff yesterday; the man has no shame. Raped? He’s lining himself up for a money-grabbing court case; that’s all that is. To use defamation and libel and compare it to rape proves that they all live on planet fuck-me. Once more with passion.
I reckon that the January snowfall covered up a lot of shiny objects so the diehard FF voters momentarily stopped being distracted, wiped off their drool and got around to answering a few polls.
The current FF bunch are a Mafia and they use the cops as their henchmen. And they are bollocks deep in shady dealings and organised crime.
I have good information about a major business which is owned by a prominent FF member and ex-IRA thugs. It’s used to launder drugs money.
“Who are all the thick ignorant village idiots going to vote for instead?”
After the demise of Fianna Fail we could have a right-wing conservative party with Fine Gael incorporating what’s left of the PDs and FF and a left wing grouping made up of Labour, whatever will be left of the Greens and Sinn Fein. Perhaps then we’ll have proper grown-up politics in this country.
But not being able to organise a consistent water supply in this country does bring to mind something about piss ups in breweries. It also shows up FF’s knowledge economy pretensions brilliantly highlighted in Dr. Constantin Gurdgiev’s blog here: http://trueeconomics.blogspot.com/

Liam Lawlor went to jail rather than speak the truth about the extent of political corrption in Ireland. That is what criminals do to protect their criminal friends. Mafia-type behaviour.
Theres a thread about the proportion of idiots and bandits in the population in the forum.
For this part of the island its about 22% so.
And organised crime cannot exist without collaboration with police and politicians.
I suppose the problem has always been who else to vote for.
The snow thing really highlighted the tactic of FF throwing up their hands and saying ‘oh we weren’t ready’ in a whingy voice, and then just … looking the other way, like that was good enough.
I wonder if that’s actually official policy? Oh, we don’t know how to deal with this, and we don’t want to spend any money on it. Don’t look at us, we don’t know what to do…

Holemaster, “Who are all the thick ignorant village idiots going to vote for instead?” there have been plenty of thick, ignorant, urban idiots prepared to vote for them too you know.
Running the country and providing efficient services is an annoying distraction for Fianna Fail.
They’re like greedy children the way they behave. Don’t they know that Mammy and Daddy left back in 1922 and they have to be all grown up now and have the courage of their convictions.
Well that’s exactly it. Post colonialism. No real sense of responsibility. Like littering… oh, someone else will pick it up… no sense of stewardship. ‘Well, it’s not my fault’. Sigh.
Just proves what we Orange Nordies have said for years – Micks are thick and shouldn’t have the vote. Now excuse me while I go vote DUP .

Itchy says “Liam Lawlor went to jail rather than speak the truth about the extent of political corrption in Ireland”.
Didn’t they organize a nice car crash for him after that? I could be wrong on that.
What bait Itchy ?
That’s why I ended it with “Now excuse me while I go vote DUP .”
At least we don’t have Julian from UTV.
He’s a “geg” HM LOL
I almost got worried when I got near the end of that post & I hadn’t read the word Cunt even once, but then, right at the end I could breath a sigh of releive……Good Job twenty.
I want to disagree with Maggot, but we got the government we deserved.
I fully expect the people of Ireland that bought shoebox sized appartments/coffins for 10 times what they were worth, got the biggest loan they’d ever get in their lives without reading their mortgage agreement, or got a 120% mortgage to buy furniture or a new car, to keep voting for FF.
These people are not good at making important decisions.
It’s ALL a load of bollocks. Truly. Give out all you like, vote for the other-named cunts all you like.
You’re all wasting your time with this voting shite. The Greens proved that. The PDs proved.
The right to vote is a mild anaesthetic to dull the pain of getting rode up the hole on a daily basis for the rest of your life.
I can never understand the buying of cars on a mortgage. So you end up paying for your car over 30 years. Yet in the meantime, somehow manage to buy several other cars over your lifetime.
We need a laugh and it is Friday after all so let’s all do….

Daniel O’Connell said this in the 19th Century – and he wasn’t far wrong.
“The Irish people are not yet sufficiently enlightened to be able to bear the sun of freedom. Freedom would soon dwindle into licentiousness. They would rob, they would murder. The altar of liberty totters when it is supported only with carcasses.” </i?
*googles licentiousness*
*finds that Daniel O’Connell was bang on*
Great quote maggot. Oh the shame of being Irish.

I’d like to see arsenal win the league. Liverpool will finish fourth which will be a good result considering how shite they’ve play for most of the season so far. Rafa is still the man
Hi Maggot, that Daniel O’ Connell comment was patently wrong, patronizing in the extreme and born out of a sense of entitlement, and in this day and age is a cheap shot. sake!
but sure maggot is a cunt
Sniffle – it was a quote.
as is this
I love my country too much to be a nationalist Albert Camus
Liverpool – relegation within 5 years.
ha ha ha ha ha, that’s funny
Liverpool make Newcastle look well run – and look what happened to them peadar!
it was the freedom thing which I took issue with Maggot. Basic rights and stuff. that notion of Nationalism is dangerous as you appreciate, I think.
Why though ? As several posts by Twenty previously have highlighted freedom – i.e. self-government – meant that the Irish People suffered corruption, mass emigration, bad and corrupt government, dominance of Church, concentration camps for “fallen women” and children deemed unworthy and systematic child sexual abuse – and kept voting for the cunts running the system – so why take issue with O’Connell for being right ?
maggot. a brother-in-law of mine is from Larne. My dad owned premises on Pearse Street in Dublin. He has a few rifles from 1916. He’d be an equal rights for-all type. Donates time, money and merchandise to the simon community, that kind of thing. When my brother-in-law is over from London with my sister he refers to the U.K. as “the mainland”. Well. He used to. The first time he said it was the last time he said it.
1916 was the biggest disaster in Ireland’s history.
Nowt wrong with the mainland – Our island is to England, Scotland and Wales as Inismore is to our Island IMO. We are an archipelago.
cromwell was a disaster too.
Not in the same league itchy. Unless you would want to be in an even more feudal society with rampant gaelgoiri in control ?
Hang on a minute now. I’m not a rampant republican but…
There does seem to be a correlation between great britain invading, raping, pillaging, dividing and then leaving places in a fucking mess
Please note – making same mistakes – Eyeraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc, etc
Lads, I’ll leave ye at it. There’s some pizza in the fridge and plenty of biccies in the press. Help yourselves to the beer and keep an eye on the fire. Just pull the door after you and keep it down after 11.
right ya be. Will your sisters be around?
Yeah so you better nip out now the ATM.
That’s nonsense – it’s part of history that places invade other places. To say it shouldn’t have happened is to be like Kids criticising the Lion on the wildlife show for killing the poor wee antelope.
Colonisation ? Part of life and Britain was relatively benign, certainly compared to the Spanish, French, Germans, Japanese, Belgians and Denmark.
And do the British Moan about when we were Colonised by the Normans ? Not really, we know it was the making of us.
And something that isn’t often mentioned – Irish Kings invaded and Colonised parts of England, Wales and Scotland many, many centuries before the Cymru-Normans were invited to invade Ireland.
How desperate are these sisters HM ?
What are my chances ?
That’s nonsense – it’s part of history that places invade other places. To say it shouldn’t have happened is to be like Kids criticising the Lion on the wildlife show for killing the poor wee antelope. – HUH? Last time I checked we were a step above animals
Colonisation ? Part of life and Britain was relatively benign, certainly compared to the Spanish, French, Germans, Japanese, Belgians and Denmark. – That oesn’t make sense to me
And do the British Moan about when we were Colonised by the Normans ? Not really, we know it was the making of us. – As far asI’m aware the normans didn’t continually and purposefully commit atrocities to irish, indian, asians and africans.
And something that isn’t often mentioned – Irish Kings invaded and Colonised parts of England, Wales and Scotland many, many centuries before the Cymru-Normans were invited to invade Ireland. – One country; ireland didn’t go around the world colonising.
I’m off to the pub for a pint of bitter…
I’ve a wad on me.
Jaysus there’s a great stretch in the evenings
what doesn’t make sense ? It’s a fact that Britain was a relatively benign Colonial Power – the worst were The Japanese, Belgians and Danes.
the only reason Ireland didn’t go round the world colonising was because it was crap at it. LOL
Think about what you wrote itchy mate – you are saying It’s OK to colonise as long as you only do it locally ? It’s Ok to Colonise but where is the limit ? 1 million ? 5 million ?
It was a competitive world. Self protection was the rule. Spain and Portugal – our enemies – were getting incredibly wealthy and strong – so we had to do the same. That was life back then – and of course by the time the Brits started colonising the “world was a smaller place” – in that people knew a lot more about it.
One last Quote – Beckett, from “First Love”
‘What constitutes the charm of this country, apart of course from its scant population, and this without the help of the meanest contraception, is that all is derelict, with the sole exception of history’s ancient faeces. These are ardently sought after, stuffed and carried in procession. Wherever nauseated time has dropped a nice fat turd you will find our patriots, sniffing it up on all fours, their faces on fire. Elysium of the roofless.’
Shut up be fucked ya orange cunt. Holemasters sisters are waiting to be shagged. Perhaps you could quote poetry to them
I’m not orange – ineligible !
Carson Rules !
It’s a fact that Britain was a relatively benign Colonial Power – the worst were The Japanese, Belgians and Danes.
Key word is relative. Just because there is a bigger cunt out there doesn’t make you right.
Of course – but as just about every nation has some sort of Colonial history surely what matters is how they behaved themselves ?
Look at the Internal history of Ireland – do we vilify Leinster or Munster for it’s invasions of Ulster and Vice versa? It’s how life used to be, it’s how we progressed.
Anyone up for actually raping cullen?? Then we can actually listen to the cunts whining with some empathy.Every one of those ff bastards should be fucked with a barge pole.
Fucks sake maggot, I said freedom. What are you on about? O’Connell had no right to say that about anyone’s freedom, that they somehow might abuse the right to freedom.
And then to use the quotation in the context of a 3rd millinieum ireland .
And then to coat trail with the Camus quote .
comon !
“do we vilify Leinster or Munster for it’s invasions of Ulster”
In the rugby!
And everywhere in the country there’s a grude of some sort against its neighbouring county, province, village, neighbour etc…
so absolutely Yes.
Irish people can be a very parochial crowd. Case in point: The constant re-election of FF cunts no matter what they do in government because sure they’re always nice to the locals.
Same shite in the north…
It’s all in the past – it’s sad to see how people use it as an excuse to justify their own inadequacies.
Sniffle – at the end of the day though O’Connell was correct – and he had every right to state what he considered to be the truth, no matter that you find it embarrassing. As the history of the 26 counties shows the Irish people were licentious and incapable of running the place decently.
Perhaps you’re more Irish than you think Maggot.
Why do protestants call themselves British anyway? The north is part of the UK but has never been considered part of Britain. Surely Irish-of-British-descent would be more accurate.
Toronto – it’s all very simple – All Irish are British though not all British are Irish – because we live in the British Isles. So I’m 100% Irish.
Poor
Oh yea? So which part of Britain does my britishness refer to?
Britain only refers to England, Scotland and Wales. Not Ireland. Your lease has expired…
You’re Irish maggot, sorry to have to be the one to tell you… (no offence meant, the Irish Flag, which has been abused by the Shinners is something we can all get behind. It stands for peace between the Old Irish and the Prodestant settlers)
Put like that maggot I too wanna be a Brit, where do I sign up? I always felt we would have been a better country if we had kept the postboxes and telephone boxes red, fuckin poxy green. I hate Ireland fuckin cunt of a country even the fuckin haitians could do a better job of runnin themselves if it wasnt for a faultline and been smack bang in the line of tornedos
Eh, that’d be hurricanes.
Again I’ll say it Cypher – if you are born in Ireland then by definition you are already British just as you are also European. These terms are not mutually exclusive. People confuse British with English.
Toronto – what is the Governing body of the Ornage Order called ? GOLI – Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland. Your denial that Ireland is part of the Archipelago of the British Isles is as daft as nutters in UKIP denying that we in the UK are European
Remember – it’s almost certain that the first humans to settle Ireland after the ice Age came from …. the mainland. The oldest settlement known is Mount Sandel in Coleraine.
These Islands are so completely culturally and linguistically intertwined and there has been so much movement of peoples between them that it is silly and racist to try and pretend that there is some Irish Race that has been dominated – it’s as much a fairytale as the German Aryan Bollix!
I know Twenty loves poetry, so here’s some John Hewitt
We are not native here or anywhere.
We were the Keltic wave that broke over Europe,
and ran up this bleak beach among these stones:
but when the tide ebbed, were left stranded here
in crevices, and ledge-protected pools
that have grown salter with the drying up
of the great common flow that kept us sweet
with fresh cold draughts from deep down in the ocean.
So we are bitter, and are dying out
in terrible harshness in this lonely place,
and what we think is love for usual rock,
or old affection for our customary ledge,
is but forgotten longing for the sea
that cries far out and calls us to partake
in his great tidal movements round the earth.
We’re all just passing by.
Indeed HM – I just passed by an fleabite – it’s even more amusing than usual, claims Liam Adams not only joined but chaired that Falls Rd Cumaan without being a SF member – how credible is that ? LOL
