    Tbh the OP is just another inflammatory biased opinion, I give it about zero weight in political terms.

    According to the latest Ipsos MRBI poll, she's the most popular of the party leaders. That must really cause a twist in some people's Calvin Klein jocks...

    HMV? Is that where you buy video tapes and audio cassettes? (Actually it is HMV Xtravision so its not exactly something "new" but it may be for KK. :) )

    Is Joan Burton not a citizen too? Citizens gotta eat! I had some lunch earlier. Where was my mob? I protest, and funnily enough, my protest makes exactly as much sense as yours.

    Wonder were they actually peaceful protesters or scumbags shouting "peaceful protest", like the ones we see all over the Internet the past few months.

    If you look at the video clip on Facebook you can clearly see they were harmless soft spoken people just tying to make a valid point,

    Maybe JB could avail of the service of the Dublin trauma group to get therapy after all the trauma she had experienced from these concerned citizens.

    Indeed it does. It says that people are sick to the teeth of people claiming Garda brutality and abuse of powers at protests where the protesters are anything but peaceful and like to edit videos to suit their purpose.

    Waterford gets nothing from national government - because every time we get a minister to visit (so we can ask for jobs, infrastructure, etc) they get shouted at (usually SHAME SHAME) what ever that is - try welcome our national politicians, sit with them - tell them our problems - they may be more likely to fund local projects & jobs!

    By 'anti water thingy', I presume you mean 'finally being asked to pay for something thingy'? There's a certain cohort of people in this country who won't pay for anything themselves unless it's a big telly, a sky subscription, a few cans of Dutch gold, and a feed of chips. It must have come as a bit of a shock to think there'd be a bill arriving in their door addressed to them instead of the department....

    :rolleyes:
