    It doesn't even make sense. They didn't do what they were told last time.

    Also, they're saying the EU is going to force abortion and EUthanasia on us so putting stickers on posters is really a step up. I've been tempted myself to pull down the posters with the more blatant lies on them

    I've seen them, disgraceful carry on.

    Seems some peoples idea of 'democracy' is a competition to find out who can shout loudest.

    I took the livestock on the stickers to be sheep.

    There's a rather amusing one on the roundabout at the Galway Clinic which is a tricolour with the probing question "For what died the sons of Roisin?". I'm no Luke Kelly expert but I'm pretty sure there isn't a line in that song about defacing national flags.

    No posters have disappeared around Moate - yet the Yes posters still proliferate. Personally, all posters should be banned. They are an eyesore and both sides are misleading the public.

    Don't worry - the hundred thousand 'donated' to FF for its Lisbon campaign by its ALDE partners will keep their posters flying up like nobody's business - I saw the next wave of them starting to go up the night before last.

    The 'No to nuts' posters are apparently illegal btw.

    And who the hell are 'Liberal'? "Have yourself a Treaty?" Worst yes side poster - ever!

    I seem to remember you making this accusation before. I also seem to remember you being asked for evidence for it. I don't seem to recall you producing any.

    Please do so, or retract.

    My previous 'accusation' was that FF was funded by the public. Through taxes. And then has spent these taxes.

    And the other I thought was common knowledge.

    Sorry, I was wrong. It isn't E100,000 - it's E125,000

    But of, course, I'm sure you will say that the Irish Times is run by a Libertas conspiracy.... like the Wall Street Journal... and the Financial Times... and Sunday Times... and...

    I stand corrected.

    This from the side that vandalizes public and private property to get their message across. I'm not surprised. Absolute scumbags.

    On the topic of "doing what we're told", I have to laugh whenever I see a particular poster from PANA, who are usually telling us to stand up for ourselves and our independence, which says "FOLLOW THE FRENCH AND DUTCH"
