    Is it a 9-9.15am start for the usual suspects who are pushing the super quango?
    Is that the 9-4.30 shift?
    Great little country.....

    SF will be getting my vote in the next election anyway, the only party standing up for the working and coping classes. Labour have abandoned ship.

    Gerry Adams who manages to stretch his average industrial wage to keep a home in the North, one in Louth and a holiday home in Donegal is so clued in on the whole water charges issue that he doesn't even know if he is liable.
    Here he is in action in an interview with Joe Finnegan on Shannonside Radio on Monday.

    JOE: “Are you going to pay your water charges, Gerry?”
    GERRY: “Well, it doesn’t affect me in so far as, eh, I, in the North where my family home is, Sinn Féin stopped water charges…”
    Joe: “So you won’t have to pay water charges here in the South?”
    GERRY: “No, not, not, not to my knowledge.”

    That link has nothing whatsoever to do with Gerry Adam's ignorance of how the water charges apply to him. :confused:

    FG's super quango, cronyism and lies are certainly driving more and more people to vote for Sinn Fein.

    I never would have considered myself a SF voter have always gone the labour route but their simply is no alternative now. FF/FG/Labour's policies are all anti working man/woman and pro establishment. I can see SF being part of the next government at this stage.

    Maybe someone should ask Enda about how charges apply to him, at a press conference, with nobody there to write the answer down for him....

    WTF? :confused:

    The working man/woman make up the most part of the establishment.

    of course they wont. they look like everyone else.

    But you said they would, no you are saying they wont, are you confused??

    do you not see what im getting? you claimed that a lot of people at these protests look like burglars, but yet burglars look like everyday people dont they?

    How could I see what you are getting? I can't see you so couldn't possible see what you are getting.:rolleyes: And yes a lot of the people at the protests I have seen look like the type of people that would break into your house, how do you not understand this. Oh and they don't dress up in stripey clothes and carry bags with 'swag' written on them, we don't live in cartoons.
    so either you're showing snobbery to the working classes or im completely lost on what your point about burglars was.

    Yes I think you are completely lost on the point tbh, I don't think you ever got it really, but don't worry too much about it Trax.

    For some reason I began to think of life under the Stasi after reading this. Might be just me though.

    You would have to change your name if you thought about that life to much.

    Find a chair somewhere quiet, sit in it, turn off all impediments, fold up and put away The Daily Mail and let the vastness of your mind clear (shouldn't take long).
    Then, with all the brain power you can muster, think about this sentence,

    'Am I guilty of jumping to conclusions because of my latent snobbery and bias?'.

    I wonder is he as guilty of snobbery and bias as you are of wild assumptions, generalisation and stereotyping.

    The Daily Mail? Seriously wouldn't even wipe my hole with that rag now.

    And to answer your question no I am not guilty of jumping to conclusions. You obviously disagree with my statement so can you explain to me why you disagree with it?

    I am looking at getting one of these for the house, I hope to get it plumbed for grey water purposes, toilet, garden, maybe washing machine if I can filter the water sufficiently (not hard Im told). I can have this system set up for under €500, that includes tank, piping, pump and installation.

    They don't have a list of people they would exclude as equity investors, so the SF policy is to sell water services to anyone willing to invest - including Denis O'Brien.

    Lovely piece of F.G drivel dodging the question again.

    I will ask again:

    DID S.F do a deal with Dirty Denis?

    And the answer is no they did not.

    F.G Did. They handed him a mobile phone notice and in Moriarity's opinion did so in return for bribes. Now they have awarded their accused buddy another state contract. What message does that send to the common person on the street?
