Her suit looks like it was bought in a sale in Penneys....

What if it was? Amount of elitism, snobbery and glee found in people's appearance and accents tonight is extremely stupid, there's no other word for it.

If you vote for this lot, you may as well just draw a big cock on your ballot paper methinks.

Pensioners had FF.

The ULA have no one.

The social media reporter could tell vincent which FFer got the most thumbs down and it would be off with 'em!

Every vote should be respected under democracy.

Just because you maybe have brainwashed into thinking there are 'respectable' parties and 'non-respectable' ones perhaps?

How many times does he usually ask the same question?

Which just makes it all the more depressing.

All I can say is that sometimes it's just pure comedy gold. V.Browne is always tongue in cheek anyway and sometimes just a pain in the ass, but every once in a while !! How come none of the papers picked up on this, do none of the journo's watch V.B.??

I have nothing against Penneys but I wouldn't go to an important interview dressed in a suit that was obviously past its best.....

East- West Interconnector!! She stirred up trouble and then disappeared when it hit the fan, It was anotheri failed attempt to get her profile outside of her Swords base higher when she got around to running for the Dail again They call her Miss No in Fingal because she objects to everything

Vincent has just shown himself to be the establishment's 'pet' lefty.
He usually spends half his programme time banging on about social equity; yet it's clear here that he doesn't actually believe in the premise it would be based on. He isn't just playing devil's advocate/questioning here: he's ridiculing.
I wouldn't be voting for these people as they are too far to the left for me for and, for the most part, don't seem to have done their homework.
Anyone who looks into the history of nation's defaulting, though, will realise it is in no way as outlandish as Browne is making out; many countries have defaulted and there is no history of it resulting in the kind of armageddon he's talking about.
What's really outlandish is thinking we can continue with the 'deal' as currently constituted.

I have the same accent but her voice irritates the hell out of me the way she speaks down to people.

He has so much trouble grasping the concept of Twidder that it's probable he would start twitching and frothing trying to get his head around Boards.

100% agree, the only people who agree with this bail out are the establishment centre parties who are too scared to oppose the EU in any meaningful way. A separation of sovereign and bank debt and an orderly default is not just a policy of the left it has been widely suggested and agreed upon by just about every well known right wing economist who has written about Ireland since the bailout happened. It is only a matter of time before it happens, but Sinn Fein, the ULA and perhaps a few independents like Somerville are the only ones with the extremely pragmatic policy of wanting to control how the default happens, versus allowing the state to slide into oblivion and an unorderly default which will have much more severe and long lasting implications.

I was quoting vincent! Please dont make assumptions about my political persuasion. Believe me, I am not a FFer and I never have been. Are you unaware of the concept of irony?
