This man is insinuating that portraying people on social welfare as honest is one sided and not accurate. He is an absolute disgrace and it is shameful that this man has been Taoiseach twice.
What does that say about us as a country?
There’s our courageous Taoiseach

in his place by using the tv show Benefits Street to show how untrustworthy welfare recipients are. Bravo, Teesh.

The far right are going to have an absolute field day with the Gardai reaction in Dublin and its going to drive people that have been worried about increased state powers into their arms. & I'm just as angry abiut that as the mayhem it's currently causing

Yes. *I'm* the degenerate for wanting evidence based relationship & sex education in schools and wanting the Catholic church, who systematically raped and abused women and children for decades in our schools & institutions, out of our children's schools. Makes complete sense

You could not book multiple tables together in a restaurant to eat with 49 other people. Leo Varadkar has absolutely no shame.
An outdoor event is not the same as an outdoor seating area in a restaurant. He is creating guidelines to cover himself. What an absolute disgrace

People are really fed up of this gaslighting. Simon Harris is very much the "friendly" face of FG. Regularly going on the attack with a smile on his face w/ the pretense it's all in good faith. Fine Gael are by far the party that panders to the far right. They *are* on the right
We cannot ignore a reality- some in public life in pandering to populism have been enablers for the far right -those who invite them to summer schools, who praise them online, who sign their nomination papers for elections, who use the word “but” when criticising an action

This can always get worse, and a vaccine evading , highly contagious variant would be it. We had the chance to ensure the whole world was vaccinated to stem this & our government & the EU voted against it in favour of private profits for companies. Never lose sight of that

I'm half stunned, half livid at just how toxic this is. Charlie Flanagan suggesting a lack of balance after a rare occasion victims of loyalist/British violence are heard.
Demanding a detailed list of what research RTE did & wild insinuations about the film's funding /1
An RTÉ documentary about a notorious Loyalist gang was based on the “dubious” testimony of a convicted murder, according to the former Justice Minister.

"Poverty is one of the biggest killers you know" - Leo Varadkar
Wrap it all up and go home I dont think I can take another minute of the twilight zone that is 2020
If you want proof that FG will put ideology before your health, check this from Varadkar on

I used to think Lisa Chambers had such potential. I've been on panels with her, found her impressive even though I'd more than likely disagree. But trying to use the Mother & Baby homes records to take digs at Sinn Fein is reprehensible. The obsession with SF will destroy them

Ronan Glynn highlighting house parties in his address when we've seen breakouts in meat dairy & mushroom factories, plus no restrictions on tourists in is peak trying to individualise a structural problem. And now it's older & immunocompromised people being asked to sacrifice

Amidst the sadness & rage & disbelief watching the harrowing stories of

, I cannot fathom that Drew Harris is our Garda Commissioner. Could our government show any less respect or compassion to the victims of British collusion or turn their backs on them any more?
Drew Harris sitting at an appeal to try and cover up collusion within the RUC ..... Yep that would be the now Garda commissioner
