Does Leo Varadkar have any empathy?

Leo Varadkar. Woke as fúck and as selfish as they come. Says alot considering I am talking about a Politician.

He scraped by the last GE and still had the brass neck to negotiate his way into the top job, but only after a cool down period with Micky M.

I've never voted SF. I used to vote FG.

He has a point.

Sinn Fein are reliant on the ignorance of their voters.

A quick anecdote.

I was talking politics with a former co-worker who proudly proclaimed himself an SF voter. I, in my naivety, asked why. His reply: "they'll get the foreigners out of Ireland".

I had not the heart to tell him.

There's your Sinn Fein vote.

Sounds to me just a paraphrase/repeat of famous Seamus Mallow quote that GFA was "Sunningdale for slow learners".

I've never heard that 'slow learners' was considered a slur until now.

Usually what happens in political correctness is that some "controversial" term becomes un-accepted and replaced with a neutral term. Over time the new neutral term becomes seen as an unacceptable slur as well and then a newer new term is adopted. This process repeats itself continually.

This is my first time defending LV on boards

Is slow learner a term that been outlawed these days?

It is best that the OP never attends a J B Keane play and hears about the handicaps and cripples

Id agree that Varadkar is the very worst kind of politician and about as connected to the people as Charles is in the uk but sf is a organized crime gang pretending to be a political party

we can do with out more of either in this country but i have very little faith that one of both will get flushed like the turds they are anytime soon

FG lot are like the tories, power at all costs.

the fact that these very public comments came from a man with well over a decade as a qualified medical practitioner shows a real true barometer of the man’s disgusting ignorance and arrogance ….

he’d have no issue next week strolling around a primary care centre talking to psychologists, patients, families and so on. His ‘concerned’ schtick to the fore, it’s nothing more…He just doesn’t give a shît and he seems in recent times less the PR Leo and more the Leo most savvy people could always see through.. When he’s under pressure and feeling it, the mask slips, a lot more regularly now 😏

he’s been found out… yet again….people of Dublin West need to sort themselves out and ninja Leo to the kerb… ridiculous having an individual of such grim standards and personal and professional weaknesses supposedly working ‘for’ the country and its citizens. Ridiculous gaffe after gaffe now..

here is Leo visiting Headway, a service for people with acquired brain injuries, the usual fake smile and empty platitudes no doubt… it’s about a 90 second walk from the gates of Leinster House……

”like politics for slow learners”.

just not good enough…. Dublin west, sort yourselves out and get rid….

Even in the world of politics, he comes across as exceptionally insincere compared to others. I get no sense of warmth from him at all. I’m sure he has other attributes as he has done well career-wise tbf

Varadkars point obviously struck home.

The OP failing to see the irony in their own post.

I've seen leo out and about lots of times over the years. He takes a lot of abuse from people unfairly most if the time. I think, because of this he has very little regard for ordinary people which is not a good for the great many of us. So it's hard to know what drives him. He definitely loves attention that's for sure, and is intelligent. But it's the wrong reasons and I think leo is probably in the wrong career for himself and for everyone else.

I personally think he’s a self entitled twat.
