PBP expel Joe Loughnane for assaulting woman

coinop

What type of candidates are People Before Profit putting forward? Do they have any vetting process at all? Today a young woman came forward with her story of abuse at the hands of Pakistani PBP candidate in Galway West, Joe Loughnane.



He threatened her, spat on her, and the smashed her phone when the 5ft tall "man" couldn't intimidate her into giving him her password. PBP couldn't defend Joe any longer and today expelled him from the party. Bear in mind, that this incident happened a year ago but PBP are only now taking action despite receiving warnings from numerous people about Joe's dodgy character.



Reminder: Joe has confessed to dealing drugs in his community, but that didn't warrant investigation according to PBP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mc2IrSHOQU

Reminder: Joe tried to bully college professors and shut down lecturers if they don't agree with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwJWNoiy_84

Reminder: Joe was arrested for attacking Gardai outside the 2011 Labour Party conference in Dublin.

Shame on PBP for doing too little, too late. The news about his latest assault is only coming to light now yet many people may have voted for Joe this morning without knowing what a horrible little man he is.

There does some to be quite the hard on for the bould Joe by "new members" on this site. This isn't the first thread about someone who is effectively in political terms an absolute nobody.

It happened a year ago but they suspended him this morning.

Weird.

Here is quite a damning statement from Joe Loughnane's own brother. Yikes.

His actions certainly explain his rabid defense of importing men from countries where thats accepted.

Joe Loughnane was born and bred in Galway. He’s Irish, and to be specific, a Galwegian. Just for additional clarity, Leo Varadkar is a Dubliner.

He'll be doing well to break 200 votes. The online campaigns against him the only thing recognisable thing about him :pac:

Oh right, the underworld of ne'er do wells who think they are political activists.

Current Affairs seriously needs a minimum post count rule.

this line was great:


'...seduced by the promise of popularity and pleasure-fulfillment'


Way to go, brother!


The premise of what he is saying is right - people like Joe are absolute **** who will do anything to label someone 'phobic' or 'racist' and ruin their life.
The extreme and not so extreme TRA lobby is the same.

Do you think Varadkar is part of the Brahmin caste?

Given that he’s Catholic, that’s rather unlikely.

Oh Joe,you so kre-kre.

PBP couldnt see past the lack of pasty skin here and thought " YEP "

he,s our man in the west

no need to do some homework on the guy and for good measure he once berated an israeli

thats the trouble with the left , they see profiles rather than individuals

The brother seems connected to reality at least. Poor Joe is finished today. His whole life was centered on violently attacking people he perceives see him as inferior because of the colour of his skin, hidden behind a working class hero civil rights activist image.
PBPs “wokeness” means that they are afraid to act against the mentally ill thugs they attract like bees around a honey pot.

Good thing no other party’s candidates have ever been a mortification, eh?

There's a great lesson here somewhere about respecting honest opposing views, but then there's Gemma flappin about chasing cars and barking at trucks in fingal and her mates singing rebel songs outside castles and asking a very busy confused Muslim butcher for our national dish ..... sausages

Nobody said this was the first time a candidate had embarrassed a party. Where did you see anyone say that?

It’s not the trouble with ‘the left’. It’s proved to be a problem with all sorts of parties.

A year later. It took a year for them to come to a conclusion. He’s brown skinned, but he spat at a woman and smashed her phone...but he’s brown skinned... how many committee meeting did PBP need before they decided it was ok to sanction him?

She’d just go straight for calling them a paedophile. It takes all sorts.

Jesus she is demented.
Hopefully she flops in this election and takes the hint along with her mate John Waters.

There are threads here about all kinds of politicians and their shenanigans. There’s an 8 month long one about M Bailey on her swing. There’s at least 3 about Gemma. So here’s one about a leftie. So what? Is he exempt because he’s Asian or something?

Never saw her smashing anyone’s phone. Or spitting.

Why did she only tweet a year later?
How do you know it was reported to PBP?

I'd ask the mods to show no mercy with the ban hammer for anyone who tries to defend the woman-beater or deflect from the story with desperate mentions of Gemma O'Doherty (another example of hatred against woman in politics?) Always believe women. Solidarity with Roisin today. She is a brave woman for coming forward. It can't have been easy.

A day later. Not a year. He’s been suspended for an action that isn’t disputed, unlike a bunch of rumour and innuendo.
