    I value our sovereignty and our foreign policy rights and I haven't seen a Yes voter argue they aren't important.

    There are no insults there. Given this forums dislike for unfounded statements I would suggest that you alter the thread title accordingly

    When you blatantly tell lies to peoples faces, when in most cases you are fully aware you're lying, then you are insulting people. That's the point that's being made. This is quite obviously happening.

    Well there seems to be a very similar message from the No side an there also seems to be a similar message from the Yes side. The Yes side are using rubbish slogans but the No side are telling lies, often blatant lies.

    Yes have agreed to draw a line under this.

    lets leave it at that. Otherwise we go back and forth all day and it achieves nothing.

    No you're not, you're lying to them. When you call someone a c**t (for example) you're insulting them. Amazed that people who claim to understand the lisbon treaty could get such a simple thing wrong.

    I've been in a room with Ganley And he was completely misrepresenting the changes to the voting system, purposfully only mentioning half the changes just to make a BS point that it's undemocratic.
    I'm good at maths, I can work out that the net result of the votig changes post Lisbon is more democratic and I felt insulted by Ganley trying to fool us.

    Incidentally at the same event, he said that if he didn't get elected he would accept that he didn't have a mandate from the people and would leave the arena. 'I'll go and plant cabagges', is more or less what he said.

    Now that he sees that his lies and misdirection have lost their potency over us, he's back. I'm sure he'll have a raft of new distractions over the next few days.

    If only I could get him to campaign against NAMA!!
