George Lee resigns from Fine Gael and as a TD

[Gael Nua]

He's getting a fair bit of roasting from a constituent on Liveline now.

[H.R. Haldeman]

I can't believe what he is saying on Joe Duffy: he never had serious discussions with the FG economics team.

Whaaaaattttttt?

[louislefronde]

Talk about throwing the rattle from the pram! George Lee was the wrong man in the wrong party at the wrong time.

[CorkHurler]

Some snooty FG lady tearing strips off him at the moment.

[nonpartyboy]

That would require actually wanting to do something differently. FG don't want to do anything differently, they want "their turn" to do the same things FF do when they are in Government... i.e. nurse the country along, and look after their own supporters in various committees etc

I completely agree with you , politics in this country is rotten to the core. That all the young voters have to leave is a disaster for the country longtem. Listening to all the liveline politicos they are all the problem, same aul same aul, politics frustrating blah blah blah. People want major change, not a different captain on the titanic.

[John Kalahan]

Who says you need an apprenticeship?

In fairness, I think RTE are more likely to settle scores here on this than give a balanced reflection of public opinion.

George Lee getting roasted on Liveline.

The public feel Lee let them down.

Hang on, the person that Joe introduced as one of the people that voted for him from Foxrock turns out to be an FG member.

[The Fusilier]

Oh No.

he delivered a handwritten note to the Dail clerk saying he resigned his seat.

No half measures for George.

He is in the building yes. In the building.


The eyes of the world are on our George. Even as we speak.

Fair play to you for being able to type with the one hand you wriggled free from the straight jacket.

Fine Gaelers really turning on George Lee on Liveline. Really sticking the knife in to him. Doesn't paint a good picture of FG'ers if they can knife someone who was one of their own up to only a few hours ago.
