WESTERN LIES! YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND CHINA! etc etc etc

And what would you say if someone from, say, Tonga said something like that about China?

They'd say 'tonga zai na li' or something like that ('Where's Tonga?')

Funnily enough, they did a project on small countries in my sons’ school (but for China almost all countries are small, I suppose). He got Tonga; and after looking at pictures of the (corpulent) pride of Tonga manhood, he cast a quizzical eye on his father and said 'Daddy, are you from Tonga?'

^^^ My grandad used to tell this one about an early British Royal visit to Tonga. Can't vouch for anything other than that!

Seems they were all settling down to an lunch and the enormous Queen of Tonga had a small chap sitting beside her. Liz turned around to Phil and asked "Is that the Queen's husband"? Phil answered, "No, he's her lunch."

Yeah that's the kind of racist thing that Phil the Teuto-Greek would say.

You may have caught Senator Ronan Mullen on Prime Time’s second panel debate of the Midlands-North-West MEP candidates last night.

During Senator Mullen’s appearance, he took host Miriam O’Callaghan to task, accusing RTE of bias, censorship and of being too cosy with Government parties – an outburst that earned vocal approval and agreement from Mr Flanagan.

Senator Mullen’s claims came on foot of Senator Mullen and Mr Flanagan’s annoyance over their exclusion from the first panel debate.

This morning, the RTE Player had the debates from last night posted but it stopped short in the second panel’s debate, just before Ms O’Callaghan turns to speak to Mr Mullen and when Mr Flanagan is in mid-sentence – therefore those looking back this morning cannot see Senator Mullen’s outburst.

He won't be happy about that,
Maybe briefcase wanker mentioned Iona? :pac:

For some reason he's got posters up in Derry City as well.

Ah for **** sake, RTE... Don't give him something legitimate to complain about...

Mullen made some pretty valid arguments at start of the second RTÉ Prime Time Debate to be fair - still not hope of getting any votes from moi but the way the debates were set up were bit of a farce

Any chance of an explanation or was that a "I'll rile them up hurr hurr" hit and run effort.....?

I find it ironic that a guy with "Alan Partridge" in his name is supporting Mullen, given that Steve Coogan was in "Philomena", a movie which prompts Mullen to close his eyes and stick his fingers in his ears when it's mentioned.

That's a fairly convoluted link tbf.

My mother was about to put no.1 beside him at the voting today but thankfully I stopped her in time!

Delirium

couple of family members were on the fence about him as they didn't know much about him. Soon changed that so a few votes denied for poor ole Ronan :P

How's his prospects looking

Seemingly Ronan is only managing 4% of the vote

Corkfeen

The silent majority remain silent even when it comes to voting.

There's a clear liberal bias working against Ronan.

Turtwig

I'm sure the gay liberation front infiltrated all the polling stations and altered his preference numbers.
