Got a leaflet in the Post this morning from one of the Fash EU Candidates . Is this all they are doing , are they actually going door to door ?

Same. No too chicken shit to go door to door and too easy for voters to figure out in 10 seconds that you're dealing with a total moron. Placed my leaflets in the recycle bin where they belong.

The easiest show ever to boycott.

Thoughts on the very large protest versus the very small counter protest in Dublin today? The Shinners didn't seem to be popular with the majority of protesters.

If you are "popular" with that bunch of goons you've got a problem

Also reports that yanks have delayed a large shipment of weapons.

Great drama in the last frame there Jones will be gutted

He's prone to some very poor decision making. Beat himself in the last frame

I didn't see the game but I see Mayo yet again lost to the referee. When will the GAA do something about this? If its wasn't for bad referees Mayo would be unbeaten since 1884.

This says a lot, fascist yanks with nothing to do with Ireland trying to push their right wing agenda onto us

You realize Twitter isn't real life?

A couple of right wing US political commentators (with millions of followers) highlight the fact Ireland doesn't enforce its own immigration laws.

This then gets retweeted/shared/liked by a fraction of a fraction of 1% of the people who saw it.

And you use this "datapoint" to deligitimize peoples valid concerns (which BTW were shared by a sitting FF TD and European candidate yesterday)

And his comments are up in the FF website, so obviously the party (who are in Government) agree with his views to some extent

Are Fianna Fail far right?

Did it hurt you that one, you show up as a yank in the assessment above

And some people think America is a democracy.

Tends to be twitter I think. But for twitter there'd be no Jamie Bryson and I don't think there'd be the rise there is in the south either.

At least Bryson isn't hiding behind a fake name like 99.9% of the hate filled bastids on there are

When will people catch about twitter? Like I know I've umpteen posts on here, but that's my limit, of social media, when someone talks to me about what they seen on twitter or some said this on TikTok I'm immediately rolling my eyes and wanting to bash their heads in

Will Twitter and the like get worst or will it die a death? 

It won't die. I do like Twitter but it can be a cesspit. I block loads of people who get in the way of important things like GAA and NBA news etc

One of the biggest issues with Twitter is if you interact with one of these scumbags, call them out or whatever, your feed will become full of the same shite. You are best to block and ignore anything Far Right and keep your stream of posts clean.

Good point made by Christy, the lack of a name shows these guys for what they are and indeed the homo-erotic image of Colin McGregor leading a band of "patriots" behind him into some sort of war is the most ridiculous thing I ever saw.

Has the mcateer lad who scored for Leicster declared for Ireland?

Have been to a few far flung places,

Korea
Namibia
Meath

Korea and Namibia were nice

In my local town after a couple of yrs with refugees and no issues a local sc**bag has gone around plastering the place with posters and camping outside a builders house, breaking windows, smashing cars. Guards finally lifted him, allowed him to video himself in their car and giggled along with his jokes. The biggest issue at moment is inaction of authorities allowing a complete inbred sc**bag to become some sort of robin hood in the eyes of the thickos that follow him.

Down made some poor decisions in last quarter, they should've won that.

Anti everything, blame foreigners for all their personal problems, never take responsibility for anything, never solve anything. Most importantly, pretend they care about ireland, citizens, women etc - when they dont.

Most of them would be low down the IQ level and easily manipulated by a few semi intelligent but evil people.

The far right leader tells lies to people he knows are stupid.

I thought that tactic is standard across the world. People buy into that every time come elections

It would be easy to suggest that this was the core tactic of DUP and Sinn Fein to usurp SDLP and UUP, and has been a staple tactic since.

Surely both those parties cannot be far right?

Or that FG tell you lies about the houses they will build but don't. But of course that's not the same thing and you know it.
