I don’t think you do social media so it’s pointless sending you there to do a quick look around.

So you got nothing.
Again.

I have no idea who you have convinced yourself I am but I am highly amused by how stunningly wrong you are in all of your pronouncements about me.

Keep digging. That credibility of yours is in the minus figures now.

Have a look now for yourself on social media and tell me what you think.

Oldtree you’ve posted a video being filmed by a socialist party where they’ve stood with an iPhone fixed at a random spot trying to record the amount of people passing on their way to the rally.
Crowds are filing past, quite slowly and one of the film makers is trying to count in tens and getting out of breath with the effort.
What do you see?

I'm wearing my repeal jumper today.

I wear it most weekends tbh. I feel it's got an important message. Today I made a special effort to represent in front of the pro-birthers.

I just felt like telling y'all that. Have a good Saturday everyone

Workers solidarity claiming 7,000 at rally. One has to wonder at the disparity in numbers being claimed.

I don't see 100,000 people let alone 60,000. I have been in the middle of 250,000 people in Boston so I know what that looks like.

Silent voters swing elections.

Clinton was expected to cruise past Trump

Britain was expected to remain in the European Union

Neither happened.

It doesn't matter how many people march today or during the week. It matters how many people tick a box in the summer.

Don't assume it's in the bag because of snazzy jumpers and the media.

A mate of mine is there. He's saying 100k but he says over 50% that he can see are over 65

That age demographic must be a concern.

Once again I have to tell you I’m not interested in how strangers value me.
I gather that’s important to you but I could never understand it.
It’s what you do for other people that’s important, not what people think of you, or admire you for what you do, or how much you are appreciated.
Starting to feel under appreciated escalates quickly into a general unhappiness that settles and never really leaves.
I met a lovely woman yesterday volunteering with the St Vincent De Paul who just goes about looking after people with no ego or fuss whatsoever. She’s totally taken for granted and taken advantage of and she knows that but this is what she wants to do and she’s perfectly happy.
Bro Kevin and Sr Stan and Fr McVerry are the same.
If your not a woman I heard on the Joe Duffy show some weeks ago then I’ve got you mixed up with someone else and that’s my mistake.

I honestly think there is a silent pro-life majority in this country, that will stun the liberal elites come referendum day.

A noble sentiment which I agree with even as I am puzzled by it's relevance to this discussion. Or what prompted you to make it as all I have done is point out where you have commented about what other people think/feel etc.
Speak only for yourself and you and I won't have an issue.

I am pro repeal but am quite disappointed with the ridicule and contempt some pro repeal seem to treat pro lifers with. There is a nasty and arrogant undercurrent which I fear will reduced the chance of this being repealed.

Look at the smart comments and glee at over-estimates of the numbers marching today as an example...

They recorded the march from the start as it went past. they are going by slowly but very very patchy.

100,000 no
60,000 no

maby between 7,000 and 10,000 at most.

Here is very easy going in comparison.
Also here there are supporters of very left wing groups which always means a lot of very distorted reality which doesn’t help.

Indeed. Back then the implied message was that the gheys wanted to be able to adopt children so they could abuse them... some times it wasn't even implied...

Loads of pics and video out there. It’s nothing like the numbers they’re claiming.
You can only fit 17k max in that part of merrion square. They don’t even have that much there’s massive gaps throughout the crowd and one estimate has it 40% are actually children?!

All the footage I’ve seen is of the speakers so far. It’s certainly very noisy. I’ll just see it on the 6 news.
I’m pressing Dav because hes insisting 7000 but has shown no evidence of that.

david75

There’s one from the stage.
So apparently you can fit 100k from there to the dáil which you can see in the background.
