    Fairly sure she's still in the Drumcondra B&B for now. Hopefully they don't start giving priority treatment to those who shout the loudest to the media.

    Ah FFS :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    So her stunt pays off for her

    Some country where you pull a stunt by making your kids sleep in a Garda Station and you are rewarded for it

    What is wrong is that in any common sense media, she wouldn't be "egged on" but what we have here is the media and hangers on, with mouthpieces and public airwaves access pushing her on, egging her and feigning scandalous outrage when she isn't given everything she wants.
    Jesus, you would just love a tougher stance to be taken on all this and someone to say what we are all thinking.

    That would be a great slogan for a party by the way. "We will say what you are thinking"

    Every media outlet seems to be left leaning these days, there's no balance to the debates. I would love to have a proper journalist out there who would ask the proper questions.

    Look at Ryan Tubridy last Friday was pure soft with Connors or Miriam acting all lovey dovey with Ms. Cash. I would suggest that both Tubridy and Miriam are educated individuals but are both too afraid to ask the tough questions about the reasons people are having a herd of kids and expect the state to pick up the tab.

    Media are afraid of the public backlash but I would think that far more of the public would respect them for doing it and bringing balance to the debate. It is just the left are the one's that shout the loudest whilst the rest of us are the silent majority too busy getting on with life.

    The left go on about FF wrecking the country with all the giveaway budgets during the good times. As far as I recall no one from the left opposed the budgets when Social Welfare rates were increased yearly, funnily enough I seem to recall that the rate increases weren't enough. There's only so much money going around and all of it cannot be given out in Social Welfare.

    To be fair to a broadcaster called Niall Boylan on 4fm, he does challenge the left narrative and I am increasingly giving his shows my ears because it makes a nice relief from the usual lefty softy shíte

    There didn’t seem to be many outside the Dail to hear her rant so it’s being broadcast on Facebook.

    It’s a pity she cut her education short as I’d say she could have made something of herself.

    Whats hilarious is lushes in RTE/the journal etc etc desperately try to give the impression they understand the problems of "the workin classes" as they see it by doing sh#t like making sc#m like cash their postergirl thus clearly showing how out of touch and clueless they are. turbridy/o'callahan/duffy despicable trough feeders


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭ShaneC93


    300,000+ views on Facebook. Very surprised the comments are so positive, I don't see any negative at all.

    Given the very low comments : views ratio (70 comments for 300K views?) I'd make a guess that the poster of the video is deleting any negative comments.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,106 ✭✭✭PlaneSpeeking


    The Mirror's "Anti Vulture Campaign" or whatever ****e it's called is getting even more laughable in the face of "people" like the Cash one.

    Can't speak for RTE but TheJournal were on a comment deleting spree on any of the articles about Ms.Cash, probably deleting 80%+ of comments, some with 1000s of thumbs up / likes too. Sad given the comments were just pointing out things that should have been in the article had the "journalist" done any research at all.

    I wonder what she would say if asked where the grand a week she gets comes from. I reckon she would say the social. When pushed she might make the connection to the gubbermint. Pushed beyond that, I would expect a blank stare.

    She and her type really do believe that money comes from the magic money tree behind government buildings.

    Well, I think it's time that these people were made to understand that the money they are taking every week comes at the cost of the sick and disabled people of the state, the real hardship cases. Even the housing crisis that she keeps on mouthing off about. If we weren't paying for her expensive clothing, and crystal, or the upkeep of her baby habit, we might be able, as a country, to tackle some of these important issues. These people should feel shame for their actions, but they keep being told that they're the victims and, of course, they lap it up.

    With the media the way it has gone and politicians only worried about the spin, who's going to tell these leeches that they should be ashamed of their actions?

    Media are not afraid of any backlash, the media supports the John Connors and Mrs cash of this world, its the media who create the narrative that these people are above criticism.

    I've seen some realist comments appear, but they are quickly removed. The front has to be kept up that she is some kind of national hero. No realism allowed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭xi5yvm0owc1s2b


    This woman is being given a platform (Facebook) to peddle nonsense and outrageous claims such as "This government doesn't care about the people of this country". She hasn't a clue, and she is being permitted to broadcast this rubbish to easily influenced people.

    To be fair, she's only echoing the rhetoric used regularly by the likes of Richard Boyd Barrett, Ruth Coppinger, Paul Murphy, et al. Yes, it's outrageous rubbish, but people do lap it up.

    She's a bit of a firebrand, and not a bad public speaker for a traveller who left school at 12.

    Surely some of these left-wing groups are behind her and promoting her at this point?

    He's an ignorant uneducated shock jockey and more fool the people who listen to him. The amount of scum he has on his show is unreal. But work away, if his views are what you agree with I'm sure you'll put up with the scum he deals with.

    It was her own choice to keep her children homeless. That's right, a choice she made. She has the money to rent somewhere but chooses not to.

    It's not the government's fault
    It's not the gardas fault
    It's not the politicians fault


    It is her choice

    A when she's whining that she had to pack up 7 children each morning to move she should clarify it.


    It is her choice to pack up her children every morning

    It is her choice to be in a bedsit

    It's her choice to live in drumcondra and have children in school in Tallaght


    100% her choice

    She has the income, she'd just chooses not to spend it on housing

    Income? Thats an insult to those that work. More like social benefits we mugs, sorry tax payers, contribute towards to fund her waterford crystal, tracksuit and nike air max addiction. 2,500 on a fecking communion dress, it must have been made out of Angle (angel) tears or something to cost that much.

    Boards is already owned by Distilled Media which also owns TheJournal, been that way for years. They said recently they are restructuring the companies so that Boards is owned by Journal Media Ltd. rather than being a seperate company. What changes that will mean other than legally, who knows, they already worked out of the same floor of the same offices.

    It really isn't. They've actually been owned by the same crowd for years, this is more a restructuring.

    Anyway, having seen the video from yesterday I am seriously considering selling up the house and leaving this country. It is something I've given thought too, it seems as a single person I am bottom of the rung when it comes to anything, I am absolutely ridden with tax and yet we reward this entitlement culture.

    Boylan is good ( not great), his show has come on a lot and anytime he appears on TV, he speaks a lot of plain common sense.
    It's a damning indictment of the media in this country that Niall Boylan is seen as a bastion of reason. He is by no means an exemplary journalist but, in the current climate of feeling over facts, he simply says it as it is. And fair play to him for doing so, his no bull**** policy has certainly gained a few new listeners to his show, in the form of me and many of my friends (the much-maligned "squeezed middle").
