Not singling out SF, but the irony of politicians coming out today one after another to express their concern at bank closures in small towns. Whatever the rights and wrongs, they have lost the right to criticise when all they do is sit around getting paid to do nothing apart from bicker.  A press release is a good days work in their wee world.

That's due to one party and their drug dealing bosses. Not SF or SDLP or Alliance or any other party.

Although it was SF last time.  But that's not what I'm driving at.  I just find them all a bunch of amateurs.

Nobody has a good opinion of politicians.

Maybe they think one or two work hard on their behalf etc. but as a colletive, they get no thanks.

That's the way it works, the world over.  Ireland is no different.

Where do politicians rank? Worse than bankers, estate agents or traffic wardens???

Hard to know. On one hand I do know some here that work their arse off and if you needed something they'll do their best to help you out. They get the blame at times for everything that goes wrong when a lot of the time its the system rather than the individuals. Of course there are plenty of downright nasty c***ts of politicians (most of the DUP and the Tories) Any local ones I've ever had dealings with have been decent enough, from across the parties.

Would be great if politicians (from all parties) spent as much time trying to find common ground and work together to actually improve peoples lives as they do slagging each other off and point score at each others expense.

If we could only find out who elected the politicians into the positions they hold.

That happens much more than any of us realise. In fact, it's the only reason anything ever gets done in places like the north.

But we've all been conditioned to consider compromising and collaborating with political competitors as weakness, so politicians tend to keep quiet about the working together stuff.

It impresses us goons in the electorate much more when they appear to be tearing strips off each other.
Doc would listen to any kind of nonsense and change it for you to a kind of wisdom.

This is it. People who just blindly follow, with zero critical thinking.

You just had a chuckle about a Far Right nut job roaring abuse at Sinn Fein.
