Is Pat Carey in Charge so??

Lately?
That's not true either, I have no real problem with the site, it's all the eejits who post on it I have a problem with.

Yes, it must be a drag to see how amateurish some of the other FF boosters are. Bloody amateurs!

I'm going to be controversial now. Am I the only person on the site who, whisper it, feels slightly sorry for Mary Coughlan? She's clearly a fair bit out of her depth, ill-considered comments like the one about emigration on the BBC being apparently a weekly occurrence. But she's a decent enough person, isn't she? I knew a woman, a friend of my mum's, also from Donegal, in England. Her husband, from Mayo, was a well-known builder, decent fellow too, but had the notion that he had to join the Tories to get anywhere. He more or less pushed her into running as a Tory council candidate. She won a lot of Irish support and was elected. Problem was, she hadn't a clue about politics, had left school at 13, and ended up saying stuff that really a Labour politician would say, not really understanding what the difference was. She eventually, after much derision, nearly had a nervous breakdown, and walked away. She turned from a beautiful and vivacious young woman into a shadow of her former self. For some reason I think of her when I see some of the abuse of Mary Coughlan. She should probably be doing something else but I keep thinking that there's a level of abuse that should only be reserved for the real verminous political chancers, not for essentially decent, if flawed, individuals...

That's not controversial, that's just weird.

Get thee to a nunnery!

If you're not careful, son, I'll tell the real toxic avenger that you're using his name, and boy will you be sorry then!!!

What is this, palliative avenger?!?!?!

Mutter, mutter, mutter...

Screw that. She's Deputy Prime Minister and clearly thick as a plank. She's in politics, her incompetence is affecting the lives of real people, her incompetence should be pointed out at every possible chance.

pat carey another schoolteacher is in charge it seems. mansergh was on the radio this morning. he said that bertie did not give away all the family silver, that he often put his foot down. what A LOAD OF WAFFLE? bertie gave away all our resources because it wasnt his. the country is in an awful state and the sindo is still ensconsed with this ageing immature J.R. who gives a damn? dont allow these ministers, the t.ds. the councillors, their handlers, theor groupies from entering the country unless they have a plan. but there again ,these are the same people who got us into the manure. conor lenihan is gone to vietnam, dick roche is gone to moscow, give us a break. the diaspora me arse!
