Tonight With Vincent Browne Thread v 4.0 (08/07/14 to date)

Baggy Trousers

This country would be so much worse off with Vincent Browne. Government and Opposition TDs fear him. It's great!

Wide range of opinions there on the issue of the 8th Amendment

This is supposed to be the 'people's debate'. The opinions being expressed do not represent the opinions of most of the people I know. The audiences seem to be heavily biased towards left wing views.

Maybe I mix with the wrong company?

Aided and abated by Vincent Browne himself each time they speak.

Busted Flat.

Try and get out more, if you were a canvasser for the present regime or FF I would dread the task. I live in a small village the hatred is extreme.

I dunno, anyone I speak to while not astoundingly happy, realise it was a crap situation they were and are happy with the way the recovery is progressing vs the 2010 situation.
Most reasonable people are starting to see through the shouty/roaring non existent policies of the left.

I just turned off this rubbish. Back to the same ole drivel and easy line of "tax the rich" i.e. people on 100k plus that go out every day, work damn hard to challenging targets.
All this is a platform for the do-nothings, contribute nothings of society who hi-jack and use people with genuine issues like that medical card lady and her DS sister.

Maureen O'Sullivan speaks a lot of sense. It's a pity she doesn't get as much media attention as the likes of Ruth Coppinger and Clare Daly.

What a dead end to a what, was it a programme of information if it was it failed.

Agree. It's obvious she has a genuine interest in helping and supporting the real marginalised people in her area and the country in general. Can imagine her wanting to support people to turn their own lives around and get them back to working and actually contributing to a normal society.
Not using these issues as cannon fodder against FG/Labour like the rest of the bandwagoners on display there tonight.

Good loser

By far the best of the Independents.

An intelligent, incrementalist prepared to advance her peoples' interests where she sees an opening.

So unlike the big ticket loudmouths (including VB) who would turn the whole f****ng country upside down.

I tuned in about 10 mins after the start. Did VB or anyone else challenge "Hello Mary Lou, good bye kneecaps" on the SF/PIRA/Crime 70 million a year etc?? I bloody hope so.

The small ticket loudmouths love to roar and shout but they achieve firkke all,other than to get themselves re-elected by a voter base who can't see the wood from the trees.

Once someone else pays, they want everything.

Nah,those of us with some sense will run them from the doors.

His faux stutter with increasing volume is particularly annoying.

Lucinda was very cross last night, she really tore into that young fella from SF.

Vinny's favourite plaything Joanna Tuffy.
She seems to be standing up to him more.

Such a stupid idea for someone of his sense to get involved in.

Gardaí not being trained to chase cars, you couldn't make it up, what do they bloody train them to do on the road?

There are very strong rules regarding "chasing" cars in this country. Basicly your not supposed to. It's not like the USA.

Like this unplanned sheite where 6 cars directly chase 1 car with no plan or nothing that will ever work to stop it, pure sheite training at it's best.

Are each of these guests at a different show.
It all seems very disconnected.

Is Vincent forcing a show. Maybe he should give up the Thursday show. Maybe they could show repeats of some old TV3 crap instead.

If these groups somehow manage to get into government, the first item on the agenda of their first meeting will be the split.

If tonight's left 'alliance' is an example of an 'alternative' government, I think we are much better off with the one we have, bad and all as they are!

Harry Angstrom

It's pathetic listening to MLOD trying to defend our Walter Mitty Taoiseach.

Hopefully someone pisses MLOD off enough tonight that she fcuks off for good.

She's a senator. She's an unelected representative. The public have no say.

She talked more sense than anyone else on the panel tonight. VB for a change was measured.

I don't like rugby, but it is a good sport if you want to be a cripple or if you want to damage your brain.

Ha! Ain't that the truth, a few months ago I intercepted a stolen vehicle and following a controlled manoeuvre that involved overtaking a detective in a car managed to box in the stolen vehicle with mine, leading to apprehension of the thief who has since gone on to worse crimes that made the national news.

I've heard nothing since that day from the Gardai.

Fox-hunting and hare -coursing often cause death or maiming too, but since the humans don't usually suffer, it's not known as a rough 'sport'....not sure how the foxes/hares view this distinction

There should be weight restrictions on players in rugby, rather than having half of them looking like they pumped up on anabolic steroids.
