Was referring to that one. You hadn't posted when I started typing. But both could count seeing as you played along.

I am looking forward to tomorrow night. No idea what way it will go.

Mary Lou could come out singing

I think it will start ok, then the inevitable pick on SF, then one of them will suddenly turn on the other and the fight begins..
Bring back Celebrity Deathmatch..

Ah right I was playing on the poster basically trying to detail with name calling.

Wasn't sure where you were coming from on it but my point was that it's stupid to go down that route.

I agree on your read on it they will have a go at her but like when DOB asked her hard questions they also gave a right to and should ask.

Making excuses for incompetence and corruption to get a dig in, nice.

I know it's stupid right, it's almost like any example of bad behavior from a political party can be excused because we have examples of other political parties doing something else.

Would that Miriam be the same FF TD's brother. Nice.

Poor SF they have it all stacked against them. The bould bullies in RTE looking to take them down.

Good God the partitionists/separatists/pro-Brit faction must be absolutely horrified at the recent turn of events, Britain trashes its reputation all over again after decades of the Irish media trying to rehabilitate it, Brexit puts a border in the Irish Sea ensuring the further stitching-together of Ireland economically and socially, SF top the polls in the south of the country.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Riveting climate debate on Claire byrne at the moment. The following have been brought on to speak directly to those who may question it:

George Lee - RTE reporter
2x 12 year old girls
1x man who doesn't see as many bugs on his windscreen.

I'm convinced!

Lackey

This woman is doing her cause no favours anyway.

I have my issues and criticisms of SF but more from an academic stand point but i can tell you right now they will get a vote higher than the greens.

Sick of the condescending bull**** and tactics pulled by RTE and the likes to manipulate the public.

They need to sort out their 'line departments' in FF if they have Child Pornography in the Climate Change section...

If that's how messy their manifesto is..

I agreed with him at first but then he kept going too long making the same point..

And then tried to insinuate that she was running down a policy to protect children from online pornography..

Think he overreached himself to be honest.

Yes and showed a bit of passion in doing so.

She's a bit shook after it alright. Excessive desk banging and voice quivering.

The Dept for Communications, Climate Action and Environment. Chambers said all their policies for the whole dept are in there. He won the argument.

Along with gender equality if I heard correctly.

First word out of her mouth, Tax.

Really good point from Eoin O'Broin about just slapping taxes on things from a green perspective as the conversation moves to what people are loosing and not gaining.

Ok. They way CB read it out it sounded like it was written in a climate change section of the FF manifesto? Maybe the manifesto isn't clear?
