Fianna Fáil opposition to cut in child benefit

[Lorazepam]

FF are not "accusing" them of telling lies, that has already been decided by the public. FF are merely reminding the public of that which they are already aware.

If I was a Fianna Fail man I'd be relieved that Irish people have poor memories.

I think its clear that FF had a conscience unlike the present government.

I think cuts need to be made but surely not to the most vulnerable in society

As John McEnroe used to say, 'You can't be serious man!'

FF cut Social Welfare payments before they were turfed out. FF have lost the right to have any say on the economy.

The facts is FF will inflict damage on the credibility of the Government parties by using their pre-election lies against them at every opportunity and rightly so.

Fianna Fáil couldn't inflict damage on a beetle since their disaster. Even the most legitimate Fianna Fáil complaint about the most appalling dishonesty and high-handedness in government will be discounted by all but the few left in the Fianna Fáil camp (who aren't the ones who need convincing) on the sole grounds of where the complaint is coming from.

Fianna Fáil is like the Montypython Knight with no arms and no legs.

Your leader has no credibility or conscience when he was around the cabinet table with the hatchet cutting social welfare,children's allowance,carers and every other state benefits.So keep banging that drum because the more you do it the more your shower will be hated, if that is possible.

Nobody should receive CB, why should the tax payer pay for someone not to practice safe sex? ultimately, if we want to become parents, why do we not make financial allowances for it?

FF banging this drum is simply a non runner and stinks of pure political opportunism, given their record, they should keep their heads down and stop trying to fool the public anymore, fortunately, most people will see through their shallowness, except for the usual sheep of course

As regards the current government, their current actions reek of political ineptitude, the real problem is they appear to show no level of fairness and if they wish to win a second term, then they must up their game significantly, if not, then watch SF make massive increases and maybe form a coalition with the rump of FF and labour, assuming the latter isn't wipedout.

Is this a p1sstake?

[myksav]

really? Have you poll figures, stats to back that up. Or just the usual FF pub talk.

The FF'er is actually correct in what he said. FF are just following what the public already have decided.
