A Varadkar Excuse (King Charles III Coronation)

The main reason I won’t attend weddings and other functions anymore is that I can’t avoid picking my nose in public and won’t refrain from posting on Instagram and Twitter.

Stupid indeed.

As I think somebody else pointed out, 300+ people is not really a private group. They cannot all be close personal friends and no doubt many of them you don't really know.

No outrage, but these two definitely go down in my estimation.

If you invited somebody to an event, and asked that mobile phones be turned off, you wouldn't be impressed if some guy kept posting stuff on his phone taking the p!ss out of my event. It's just common decency.

When I was working, I used to attend conferences, seminars and other events with the same group fairly regularly, there would be some w*nkers who would be constantly on their phones, social media rubbish and jokes etc. "Too cool for school" type mentality. I'd say that applies to both Mean Girls Varadkar and Twat Barrett.

I wonder would either of the twats have gotten in to do Medicine if they had had to do the HPAT exam that was introduced in 2009.

"The HPAT Interpersonal Understanding section is a component of the Health Professions Admissions Test (HPAT) that measures a candidate's ability to understand and analyze interpersonal relationships, emotions, and behavior. It assesses a candidate's empathy, emotional intelligence, and interpersonal skills"

Instead of just stating that in a hollow fashion, explain to me why it is.

Explain to me what is incorrect about it, let alone crazy.

You're entitled to your opinion, but what's your evidence for it?

Reading the stuff posted in here is like a combination of Life of Brian and Father Ted. Down with all that sort of thing and what did the Governments since 2011 ever do for us except the spectacular recovery, the high value jobs, the wealth, the education, the opportunities, the healthier environment, the infrastructure investment and on and on.

The problems we do have in this place are consequences of success not of failure. And the work goes on.

Nothing but feckless whingers and scroungers.

You're just changing the subject though.

Basic maturity and decorum at a diplomatic function are just.. basic.

Charles was diplomatic when the IRA killed his father's uncle, which we take for granted. Maybe we could extend him a little respect and sensitivity even though we don't like him and the kind of things he stands for?

You seem to be saying that criticism of bad behaviour is effectively ingratitude to the Government for giving us nice things.

Also its interesting that you see all of Ireland's successes, opportunities and the recovery as things that have been gifted to the people by the Government.

Nobody is deflecting from anything.

This is the first few lines of the OP.

This has nothing to do with the Coronation in London, it's all about The George and Kylie and music festivals in London and the nature of his relationship with Barrett and all the other barely disguised religious conservative and homophobic digs from miserable bitter bastards, for whom Varadkars private life is none of their business and yet he lives rent free in their head.

I'll say again, get a life for yourselves.

You only need to look at Cosgrave's tweets to see the underlying homophobia in the commentary.

He refers to Barrett as Varadkar's "primary partner". Would he use that language about a heterosexual marriage? Not a chance.

Absolutely disgusting stuff.

SO who was the lad in the George? If a heterosexual did that in full public view there wouldn't be a primary partner, it would be an ex-partner. Unless they were swingers.

The old homophobia is everywhere is total BS! it is used to deflect when Gay people do stupid SH1T, lets just call it what is was .... Stupid, Immature and disrespectful SH1T! All to gain likes on his "private" social media.

Sorry now, there are hundreds of thousands of marriages up and down the country where one partner has done something stupid, and probably more stupid than drunkenly kiss someone on a dancefloor. Those marriages don't end and we don't have public commentary about "primary partners".

It is that type of snide and insidious homophobia that Cosgrave is putting about that is the nastiest. Of course Varadkar was stupid, but that is a private matter between him and Barrett. Calling out Barrett as his primary partner is deliberately drawing attention to his relationship in a negative way, to highlight it. Pure ignorance from Cosgrave.

Since official relations started to thaw between Ireland and the Royal family, the Royals have shown us nothing but the utmost respect. Charles seems to love Ireland repeatedly saying that he hopes to visit every county. To hear Varadkar trying to downplay this saying that Matt was a private individual etc was incredible.Does he not get it? The two of them showed complete and utter lack of class.

I think something like this will actually do a massive amount of damage to our reputation. Many British aristos couldn't get an invitation to the Coronation.Kate Middleton couldn't bring her sister or brother in law. We got 4 invitations and this is how he behaved.

And how did he as a 'private individual' get an invitation? Such crap.
