    Leanne Woodfull is every bit as painful as Louise. Another gowl with a Twitter account thinking she’s a champion of the people

    She's starting to remind me of a female version of Trump :pac:
    A Trumpette if you will.

    I have to say if I was a fan I'd be disgusted with her for not voting.
    It would be a little like Kilkenny getting to the All-Ireland and Brian Cody going on a holiday!
    Not quite. It would be more like Brian Cody incessantly tweeting about how nobody wanted Kilkenny in the All-Ireland and the GAA were actively trying to keep them out of Croke Park. To add to that, Brian Cody would need to have written opinion pieces saying how there was a "anti-Kilkenny-culture" that normalised oppression against KK people and these are hindering their chances of being able to get to Croke Park. Brian Cody would also have had to gone on chat shows to say how he (and Kilkenny) were being controlled and coerced by said systems of oppression that worked to the benefit GAA and that said GAA want to keep them down so that they never get to an All-Ireland or make it through the doors of Croke Park because they fear them and want to control them.

    Then, when Kilkenny finally make an All-Ireland and get to Croke Park, he doesn't bother going.


    Although, she was not the Brian Cody of the Repeal movement!

    Edit: Thankfully it was fake news.

    It's abhorrent-I half expect her to hope to lose, so she has more to write about. She's an absolute abhorrent individual.

    A toxic person.

    Why no thread title change to reflect the Louise O'No-show revelation?
    Get on the ball OP :p

    How do we know she didn't vote other than not replying to a 'man' whether she did or not?


  • Registered Users Posts: 217 ✭✭Count Down


    Anyone hear her on Today FM last night? Just happened to be listening while driving. She was a guest on some programme that forces guests to play their favourite songs - bit like Desert Island Discs - and for starters she played an Alanis Morrisette song and after that a song called 'Asking for it' by Hole. She chose both songs because they were, she said, by 'Feminists' and she could relate to the songs.
    She was actually quite restrained throughout, no rantings, although she did somehow mention her upcoming novel-into-a-play project. I only heard 15 minutes or so, but it was enough to give me impure thoughts and a slight urge to do something that is reputed to cause premature blindness.

    She was also the one who asked everyone to go to the Repeal the 8th Protest, on 8th March last year.

    And she didn't go herself.

    She is a fake and just a abuser of this little power she thinks she has on some folk.

    She definitely was out of the country on Friday.

    She could have voted when polls opened before going to the UK or she could have voted by post.

    I am assuming postal vote because if she didn't vote then that's just crazy stuff.

    she doesnt meet the requirements for a postal vote.

    Postal Voters List
    You will normally be required to vote in person at an official voting centre but you may be eligible for a postal vote if you are:

    An Irish diplomat posted abroad, or their spouse or civil partner who is abroad with them
    A member of the Garda Síochána
    A whole-time member of the Defence Forces.
    You may also be eligible for a postal vote if you cannot go to a polling station because:

    Of a physical illness or disability
    You are studying full time at an educational institution in Ireland, which is away from your home address where you are registered
    You are unable to vote at your local polling station because of your occupation, service or employment
    You are unable to vote at your polling station because you are in prison as a result of an order of a court.
    Applications for inclusion on the Postal Voters List must be received by 25 November at the latest.

    If you are registered as a postal voter, you may vote by post only. You may not vote at a polling station.

    So she had her postal vote sorted last year? Doubtful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 496 ✭✭Maxpfizer


    she doesnt meet the requirements for a postal vote.

    I think there is some way you can be added to the postal voters list if your occupation will take you out of the state on the day voting will take place.

    That included full time students too.

    I am sure she would be classified as "self-employed" so she would probably be able to make a postal vote.

    For all we know she could be one of the "spoilt" ballot papers.

    This is how it works for Dublin... you fill out this form.

    I don't know how it works in her area.

    Postal and Special Voters

    A Postal Voters list is prepared every year as part of the Register of Electors compilation process. Postal voting is provided only in respect of certain categories of persons as specified in electoral law. An elector registered as a postal voter may vote by post only and may not vote at a polling station.

    The following categories of persons must be registered as postal voters:

    Whole-time members of the Defence Forces - members who live in military barracks may be registered either at the barracks or at their home address. Form RFC
    Irish diplomats posted abroad and their spouses - they are registered at their home address in Ireland. Form SV5 which is available from the Department of Foreign Affairs must be completed.
    The following categories of persons may apply for registration as postal voters:

    Members of An Garda Síochána. Form RFB
    Persons living at home who are unable to go to a polling station to vote because of a physical illness or physical disability. Form PV1(2016/17).
    Persons whose occupations are likely to prevent them from voting at their local polling station on election day, including full-time students registered at home who are living elsewhere while attending an educational institution in the State. Form PV2 (2016/17) (Irish/ English)
    Prisoners - any person detained in a prison pursuant to an order of a court may apply to the registration authority covering the address where he/she would have been residing but for the fact of their detention. Form RFG (for those who are already registered as an elector) and RFA4 (for those who are not registered as an elector).
    A Special Voters list is also prepared every year as part of the Register of Electors compilation process. Those eligible to apply for special voter status are persons ordinarily resident at a hospital, nursing home or similar institution who are unable to vote at a polling station by reason of a physical illness or physical disability that is likely to continue for the period the Register is in force. Form SV1(2016/17)

    Electors on the Special Voters list vote at their hospital, nursing home, etc. by completing a ballot paper brought to them by a special presiding officer who is accompanied by a Garda.

    The statutory closing date for receipt of application forms for inclusion on the Postal or Special Voters List is 25th November each year, except in the case of Diplomats the closing date is 30th September.

    A Supplement to the Postal and Special Voters' list is prepared during the year of an election or referendum.

    If you are eligible for the Postal or Special Voters' list but are not included, you can apply for inclusion in the relevant postal or special voters supplement to the Register of Electors.

    The latest date for receipt of applications is two days after the date of dissolution of the Dáil in the case of a general election or two days after the making of the order appointing polling day in the case of a Dáil bye-election. In the case of a presidential, European, local election or referendum applications must be received at least 22 days (disregarding any excluded day) before polling day.

    In fairness it's not like she never lied before or anything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭Ri_Nollaig


    Yes, I read that yesterday and thought it was incredible she didn’t see the parallels between the sex dolls and dildos/vibrators. Surely the editor should have made her address it.

    Does that shítty paper even have an editor?

    Also, has she said she definitely didn't vote?
    Because 2 things, 1) why even say that! ...just lie and 2) seriously?!?!?! how can any of her 'fans' possibly still follow her if thats the case!

    Because a man told her to stay.

    She did vote. It would be absolutely hilarious if she didn't but she voted by post.

    do you know that for fact or are you just assuming it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 217 ✭✭Count Down


    Maybe she didn't vote because she's a Communist/Marxist/Fascist? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 496 ✭✭Maxpfizer

    I am giving her the benefit of the doubt.

    Either she knew she was going to be out of the country and voted by post.

    Or she knew she would be out of the country and just said she voted by post.

    Is it in her character to misrepresent things and tell half-truths in service of her "brand" or in service of "Femninism"? Sure.

    On this occasion I don't feel like it really makes any difference since the winning margin was so wide and Yes was the right choice, in my opinion.

    It would be very funny if it was exposed that she never even voted but that's about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,697 ✭✭✭DickSwiveller


    She definitely voted.

    Her twitter feed says she sorted out a postal vote by filling out some paperwork, she knew she'd be out of the country. Another verified twitterer on the same thread stated she was told that doing just that wouldn't be possible. So maybe she did vote, maybe she didn't.

    I find it incredibly hard to believe that a feminist on a catastrophically deluded level like herself wouldn't join the 'women of Ireland' in their battle against the 'elite straight white men' of Ireland and vote.
