    Funny he left out working in Tesco

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

    Thats outright bollox from his Brother. Yer Man Dara O'Flaherty IS a far right racist xenophobe islamophobe and hatemonger

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I was kinda looking forward to him flopping hard in the vote without there being a controversy behind it.

    I remember him campaigning for Student's Union president in NUIG about 10 years ago. He was an out and out arsehole to say the least.

    If terrorists can be party members, why can't he be one?

    It's refreshing to see right-wingers believing a woman and not instinctively taking the side of the abuser.

    Refreshing? Its more sanctimony really. They believe her only because of who he is.

    I have it on good authority that they’re all mad for the dick pics in the IFP. The NP not so much. Something to do with ‘size queens‘ apparently.

    Lol great to see all the usual suspects all defensive about one of their poster boys!

    Just to point out that there was no defence of Joe here - just clarification that his brother is full of **** too. You’re welcome.

    Sure. Care to highlight some of that defence you’ve identified? At your leisure.

    Maybe it is just me but...

    Is he saying he is for uncontrolled migration, traffic, islamification, cronyism and corruption?

    :D
    That's genuinely what I thought. But then I thought it would come across as me taking it up incorrectly on purpose. So I didn't comment, just posted the link. (I guess it's the things he intends to 'tackle' in that order?).

    I don't know anything about the fella.

    I know of Joe Loughnane, he is an annoying piece of crap. Idiot.


    Here is a video from Daragh O'Flaherty lot of nonsense in it.

    Keeping with the nonsense theme, he kinda gets to his point at 4 minutes if you want to skip.
    But, at the start, he mentions his €20,000 per month salary.. :rolleyes:

    The Mullet is strong with the ‘warriors’ in Galway. I’m glad someone got something out of The Phantom Menace.

    Dunno who Loughnane is but from looking at twitter that Niall McCall guy is an awful gowl.

    Joe is a poster boy? I've only even seen him mentioned as being a Dealz version of a Kinahan dominating the Galway Cocaine industry. The far right seem to fetishize him but the left (his supposed voter base) couldnt give a shíte.

    The lad barely attracts a few hundred votes and couldn't even win an NUIG election yet hes thought of as being akin to Mick Wallace or Richard Boyd Barret. It amazing :pac:

    Good to see the scumbag getting what he deserves.

    However why mention his height in the OP. What's wrong with a guy being 5ft?

    It came across to me as another cheap shot at smaller guys just.
    As though a guy of that height is not a 'man'.

    Both O'Flaherty (0.5%) and Loughnane (0.8%) appear to be bald men fighting over a comb.


    Yet Loughnane is classed as "poster boy"

    I didn't defend anyone. Joe is disliked intensely by many on here because he has a Pakistani parent and stands firmly and strongly against racism, islamophobia, xenophobia.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
