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

Noted. Maybe going forward, try to read what it is you think someone has actually "nailed" before endorsing it.

In fairness it's more of an *opinion piece* than a factually accurate article, however in saying that, if I was of a FG voter persuasion (I'm not) I'd.be paying more attention to the author of the article itself,.rather than the media outlet that published it.

However, what you just read is an opinion piece from John Drennan, he's a well known journalist/former political editor for the Sindo , hardly well regarded as some kind of shinner or contributor to An Poblacht that's for sure., In fact he's a well known FG sympathiser. 🤣

From the Wikipedia article.

Here's his Twitter account. https://twitter.com/DrennanPolitics?t=TOAhu0oR2HX1ynkMrzUy2Q&s=09

This is a man who retweets anti shinner propaganda, and pens Sinn Fein hatchet jobs regular enough, many of them linked to on this site from time to time, and no, I'm not about to go wasting my time "quoting them".

Has the "worm started to turn" ?

If Drennans sources are correct, He's claiming that Leo is "viscerally nervous" about the criminal investigation he's under.

Just throwing it out there mark, but would you think Leo might currently "be the most talked about politican in Ireland" for any particular reason? C'mon, anything jump out at you?

Can you think of any other politicans here currently the subject of NBCI criminal investigations?

As for the "Americanisation of Irish politics" you will note that your man is, shall we say an "FG sympathiser" ? Interesting you would suggest that about his article, considering some of Varadkars contributions in the Dail the past year or two.

Here he is at class division. race division, and sexual equality division.

Didn't he try introducing a bit of sectarianism into Irish politics too. That went well for him.

You're fairly "au fait" with twitter and those pirate flags marko, that m ust be why you "don't use Twitter" except when using it to post fleets of tweets on here so?

Oh yeah that's fair enough Brenner, but keep in mind I was only agreeing with your post about "Markos right to have an opinion". Thats taboo now apparently though.

Over and out.

There you have it now, I didn't know any current affair, or event was no longer being discussed/newsworthy unless it was being discussed on certain programs or platforms, or simply because blanch has spoken and declared a "story has ended".

John Drennan, self confessed blueshirt will prob be a misogynistic, homophobic blueshirt hillybilly shinner before the weeks out now.

In saying that, his (Drennan) wasn't the only article in print at the weekend.

Some claims made elsewhere, I believe this source was the first to break the story of Leo's preliminary investigation being upgraded to a criminal one. They're now reporting on bullying and intimidation claims from within YFG.

Imagine these were shinners making these claims blanch.... You'd new wetting yourself loll.

**Hope it's not on a beach for their sake.

Similarly, I can hear the misogyny claims from here had this of been a shinner lady.

Is this considered "new" news?

Times like this I miss the "pac" emoji. 😂

Mind you when I have you, here's a NINE MINUTES OLD article on the Indo.

Seems the story's far from finished lol. Haymakers like this could only happen to yourself blanch. 🤣

I asked blanch if he considered it "new news" he could be a green supporter or a Judean people's front supporter if he wanted to be, either or would not be relevant to asking him, if he considered a newly published article in the media to be "new news" .

Can you quote me asking them anything about "internal fg matters"?

Ah here, anyone with even a slight bit of knowledge or interest in this case would be fully aware of why those members of YFG were terminated, (for calling for Varadkar to resign due to his criminal investigation) and why it was in the news again. I refuse to believe you weren't fully aware of that, as you were commenting on it last week.

I am prob not the only one scratching their chin now wondering how you know all the above, but couldn't understand how the kk YFG members were relevant to this thread considering?

The two things are directly related to each other after all.

Are you not telling us not to discuss this one now either? I've no interest in Arsenal so you won't find me bitching about people who do over in an Arsenal thread. Just sayin'.
