Are Mick Wallace and Clare Daly Irelands greatest shame?

Mick, of course, was one of Vincent Browne's darlings. Couldn't get enough of him. Browne made him, if you like.

I see Murphy, Smith and the rest of the Putin before People bottom feeders refused to applaud Volodymyr Zelenskiy because of the harm being done to the Russian People by sanctions.

Utter scum.

I wonder if their constituents think they represented them well by doing that.

i a less civilized time they would have been dragged from the house and thrown onto kildare street to great applause

**** is all they are...

Iv been arguing with people for nearly an hour on Whatsapp - Having a cuppa to calm down lol

See im a big leftie ye know? So are most of my mates - and some are big PbP supporters (and some for Clare Daly too btw)

Im seething folks - Im appalled. And iv been arguing with mates, its personal at this point - Supporting Daly or PbP - just cannot be condoned

Iv a big mouth and i swear to sanity, i will use it next time those ******* people come looking for a vote -

Its done - never again, they wont receive a single preference from me ever again - and i will urge everyone i know to follow suit

(second cuppa needed)

No. Not a hope.

They managed to pull in voters outside their natural PBP base in the 2019 election. A lot of those voters sympathised with them over their treatment by the police when they were highlighting the Maurice McCabe issue. Crucially neither of them had a record of spouting Russian propaganda at that time.

Those same voters will desert them in droves if they run again. The PBP base doesn't have the numbers to get MEPs elected given the massive constituencies.

Can't wait for Mick Wallace to call to my door in the next election. I've eggs sitting in the hotpress getting good and rotten waiting for the quisling **** already.

As for the rest or People before Profit. When they come looking for a vote at the next Local election or general election they will leave my doorstep in no doubt about where I stand on their pro-Russia stance.

They might if they were a woman and she was spouting that vile nonsense in their presence.

Jesus wept we are screwed for a decent left wing in ireland. Labour are gonna stay in the doldrums as Bacic has no appeal outside Dublin, those arseclowns Murphy, B.Barrett etc are an embarrassment who live in echo Chambers, two nutters in Europe (+Ming) and a reconstituted former terrorist ultra nationalist party selling their magic money tree fantasies as an alternative... I guess Greens next time out but Jesus, that's the choice....is it any wonder FFFG dominate.

Ask the ushers in the Dail. Some stories there.

Be thankful there are unlikely to be offspring. The sooner that greasy bint and clown’s terms are up, the better.

I think it can be reassuring to people to deduce that they simply must be on the take. As in someone could only express the views that Daly has, in Europe, about Russia, if she is being paid off by them for doing so. Unfortunately, I think the truth is a lot more troubling. Daly and her ilk truly believe what they are saying. They believe that they are on the side of right here. They believe they are being virtuous.

Their brains have been pickled by disinformation. You don't have to stray too far off the beaten path on social media to see anonymous accounts pumping out pro-Kremlin talking points geared directly for the hard-left. They lap that stuff up and what comes out of their mouths is the end result.

Online disinformation is scarily powerful. It was the difference in Brexit and Trump getting elected. It led to a genocide in Myanmar. It got people believing all sorts of crazy conspiracies during the Pandemic. Now it has these politicians reacting to a massacre by blaming everyone else, far more, than the ones actually carrying out the massacre. I find it dystopian and I don't know what can be done about it.
