Leo Varadkar story in The Village??? - Mod Notes and banned Users in OP updated 16/05

Did I not just witness yourself and blanch152 try and (deliberately in my opinion) blur the lines yesterday between this "Cosgrave" individuals private business affairs, and any possible civil case that may or may not arise with it, and that of his interactions with the guards in reference to Varadkar?

Now you're asking what has the YFG Kilkenny branch, being forced out, "their positions made vacant" (sounds like something from somewhere within the 1980s Soviet Bloc to be honest) because of their disquiet, and dissatisfaction with Leo being under criminal investigation specifically because of "Leo and the documents he gave to NAGP" .... "got to do with this thread"?

Either you're purposely trying to frustrate and goad readers that check in here, or (as mentioned up above) you've literally let blind allegiance trip you up.

Either scenario, not a particularly good look.

When you have finished loling at the "Sinn Fein maths", might I suggest taking a breather, recompose yourself, and start loling at this instead.

Obviously them little scamp's have been reading your constant whinging about Varadkars criminal investigation, and describing it as goading, they've decided to completely take the piss from you Marine by repeating it...

Here it is in case you missed it.

Is it considered "goading" when your own youth wing states what is factually correct about their own party's leader?

Some riddle all the same. 🤣

Keep your shirt on. You're the one jumping up and down on the head of a pin over an idiomatic term.

That's convenient, because I didn't say that you did say that.

That's two posts on the trot now that you seem to have thought I posted something I didn't post. It would be easier for all concerned if you stuck to discussing what I actually posted, instead of basing your whole post on something i didn't.

Oh, and while you're here, you didn't answer the question.

Do you think Kilkenny YFG were trying to goad anyone by releasing a statement that mentioned Varadkar being under criminal investigation?

Would you describe them as using "pseudonyms" perhaps?

"Homophobic" Bingo!

There's a number of words I would suggest as an appropriate way to describe Larbe34's post Brendan Bendar, "nailed it" however would definitel not be one of them.

Lets discuss what exactly you believe he has "nailed" in the above. In order to that, we will need to break his post with what I believe would be key points, so, if it's ok with you, I'll post them individually, and perhaps you'll be good enough to air your opinions on them.

1 "Not only must KK YFG have access to the Garda files, they must have had someone hiding under the Cabinet table as well. Those are the only ways they could stand over what they are saying"

Why would the youth wing of Varadkars own party need to have access to Garda files, or have been "hiding" at a cabinet meeting? Is there supposed to be a massive secret surrounding Leo' currently being criminally investigated by the Garda? Am I mistaken in thinking this has been widely reported across all sections of MSM and in various TV talk shows? Has Leo Varadkar himself not confirmed this by being "confident he would ultimately not be charged"?

2 "Turns out its just a bunch of little homophobic hicks, probably loyal to Phil Hogan (its his patch), trying to get some sort of revenge for Hogan being made walk the plank."

This one is simply a haze of bewilderment on various levels. Lets begin with the homophobic accusations, has the definition of being "homophobic" changed somewhere along the line, because my understanding of the word was it refers to a general dislike to, or showing some prejudice to homosexual people. Can you show me where in their statement the homophobia angle is? And while we are on the subject, are you suggesting that some "homophobic" young men or women have been drawn towards the youth wing of Fine Gael? Was this a "Freudian Slip" by Larbe34, or did he not realise the absolute nonsense he was posting?

Secondly, with the Phil Hogan "coup" accusation, is he inadvertently suggesting there's some internal unrest within Fine Gael? Is this supposedly a party at war with each other, tearing itself apart that us "outsiders" are not privy to? This is simply wonderful news if true. I'll certainly enjoy watching that.

The "hick" description of these same young people is not only derogatory, and extremely stereotypical when it comes to describing member's of YFG just because they happen to come from a rural setting. Other rural members of the same party he presumably supports, might not look on it particularly favourably though.

I may not log in, and partake in discussion here as often as I would like to I'm juggling an extremely time consuming, full time job that has a fair bit of commuting between here and Dublin involved, (I'm rural you see) with a wife and young child, but I'll make time this evening to check in, and hopefully read your reply to the above, I will 110% make sure to set some time aside for it! (I'm intrigued here to be honest)

I look forward to your clarification on the above.

Brendan Bendar, the floor, is yours.
