The wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein (part 3) Mod Notes and Threadbanned List in OP

Again this is a Sinn Fein thread. You don't need to share a link to reference an article, you can provide details on the subject and of course the location(RTE etc).

As I already said it again confirms Sinn Fein are blocking houses even in the middle of a housing crisis when they get the chance, lucky this time other parties had control and they couldn't block.

It is fairly pointless going around in circles so I will leave you to it

I don't believe you know what an anti-vaxxer is. By your definition the majority of the electorate in 2015, (the article is from 2015) were anti vaxxers, as were numerous politicians from all parties _HPV was a concern for many).

An anti vaxxer, IMO, is someone who is anti vaccines. I think in your rush to slag off the shinners and the majority of the electorate you've lost the run of yourself.

I don't believe you know what anti-immigration is. You seem to think anyone who is concerned about too much immigration, is anti-immigrant. You can be pro asylum seekers and immigrants and against an open border policy, but in your rush to slag off shinners, you lost the run of yourself.

You posted an Eoghan Murphy poolbeg disaster from 2019 as proof SF ruined housing, when both FF and FG had more seats on their own than SF on council and it was a government **** up anyway. Get up the yard.

If SF are the biggest blocker of what FF/FG/Green pass off as a good deal, may they continue to do so.

The answer always, something something FF/FG something something

wash, rinse, repeat

How predictable.

Wash rinse repeat

This is the SF thread, maybe 🤔 discuss Sinn Fein on it?

Fine Gael boogyman politics glossary - SINN FEIN EDITION*:

*(use in emergency when you're losing a good faith argument badly and you need to drag things into the ditch where you're more comfortable)

Sinister: We want people to think of opposition politicians like Sinn Fein as they might think of Skeletor or the Penguin from Batman. Would you vote for Skeletor? WOULD YOU???

Chilling: A close relation of sinister. Irish ABC1 voters, although educated and wealthy, may have a residual fear of the paranormal from when they visited their granny down the country as kids and she told them Banshee stories or warned them off the fairy fort. Chilling is the optimal word to reactivate their latent fear of the supernatural in this otherwise rational demographic. Recent research from our interns at Fine Gael HQ suggests subtle messaging that Pearse Doherty is in fact a púca of ancient lore coupled with a suggestion he will *raise your taxes* is an effective gambit. CHILLING

Blocking: Sinn Fein have a nasty habit of scuppering the transfer of publically owned land banks to our lionhearted captains of industry - who as we all know from Business Org class in whatever Jesuit day-school you went to, are the only people who have the know-how and bravery to build housing. The word BLOCKING evokes a strong mental image of Mary Lou MacDonald petulantly standing in front of a digger leading a human chain of other unreasonable people from odd-numbered postcodes who, without the benefit of a private education or a commerce degree from UCD, can't mentally process that the magic hidden hand of the market and really high house prices on public land actually produce really low house prices.

Not a normal party: Fine Gael is a funky contemporary brand and lifestyle choice for the young generation - like Pepsi, but in political form. But, as much as we like to let our hair down and listen to the best of Coldplay on Spotify every now and again while enjoying a cheeky craft brew we picked up in Donnybrook Fayre, we keep things between the ditches and like it that way. We don't want to give people psychological permission to suddenly adopt a reefer habit, join the dole queue and spark a Marxist insurgency in Cabinteely. Just as you might say: "hey man, not normal " to a friend who is toying with going to an illegal rave in Wicklow and experimenting with MDMA, if your friend mentions Sinn Fein as the two of you talk politics over a pint of Kinnegar pale ale, you say to him: "bro, NOT A NORMAL PARTY." The chances of him straying from the path is drastically reduced. Actually, we're not sure about the effectiveness of this, but we paid the Communications Clinic 40k for it so we'll run with it for now.

🤣 Oh do let us in on the mystery Lieutenant Kojack. Where exactly was it copied and pasted from? Who loves ya baby?

Or was it a little uncomfortable reading a satire of an attack comms strategy that you regurgitate day in day out and it's a little close to the bone?

You brought my quoting of a FG'er over to this thread to accuse me of selective quoting because I didn't supply a link. Which was embarrassing for you because I cannot post links. Basically I commented on the piece I quoted. The sinn fein element wasn't much nor relevant to my point.

I never denied SF were blocking housing when its not fit for purpose.

Lucky this time? They abstained. That means they didn't vote either way.

See they are pur shite, so we look for alternatives. Be mad to blindly follow failed FG/FF scutter.

What happens on a Bank Holiday weekend? People go on holidays. Yes a few will go overseas but the majority will stay in Ireland and take breaks, the mass exodus from Dublin always results in crazy traffic. The reason they are giving an extra bank holiday is for people to go on holiday because it gives everyone a extra break after lockdowns when you couldn't travel but it also pumps money back into tourism in Ireland, a sector which has been hammered during covid.

It's not to buy votes but to get people back spending money and lots of it on holidays.

I wasn't particularly aware of who her husband was or what he did so did some perfunctory googling.

He worked/works for an arm of Bord Gais having started out there as a clerk? Unless I'm missing something, he's not exactly in Scrooge McDuck territory financially. The Independent has it he and other Bord Gais workers received an approx 60k payout from a Bertie Ahern-era scheme restructuring the company; is that your smoking gun? I doubt he'll be bothering Michael O'Leary on the annual rich list any time soon.
