It's irrational, it's unfair, and it's shallow. But, bloody hell, her voice is annoying...

I know somebody (male) who does her accent/voice to a tee. You would fall about.

Nice pun, however, I wasn't talking about her accent or voice.

Give her finance, or trade and enterprise, RB will work great in either.

Your were referring to what ? ? ? . . . If you regret being so derogatory then have the balls to retract it ! Instead of pretending you did not say it !

Personally I believe you deserve bad rep for such a comment Mr Oppenheimer.

She would obviously get finance if Labour got the ministry but I suspect she would be good in health too.

Pity Richard Bruton won't get finance as he will be leader of FG by then.

I did not pretend I said it, it is there to be seen but there are several effects of that particular condition, including a loss in mental capacity, you chose to consider one such.

Its easy to be in opposition just now, negative rhetoric, a child can and does do it better. To shamelessly promote someone who, from your handle, is obviously aligned to your way of thinking politically, for listing all the things anyone could have done but didn't and makes a career out of being negative and bordering on the derogatory is silly and will get no sympathy from me. I'd rather promote constructuve criticism at this point, because the die is cast and there is nothing to be lost by Labour and FG, etc. to actually say what they would do and back it up by the expected outcomes rather than just p*ssing on what others are doing.

(BTW - don't take this as any partisan support for FF - it is not)

Perhaps, but there are none who don't have the utmost respect for her political abilities, her media performances, and her capacity for getting under the skin of Govt Ministers.

She'd make a good Enterprise Trade and Employment Minister.

Is LeftofCentre Labours answer to Factual?

So could you clarify which effect from a stroke you were referring to ? and why the comment is not derogatory?

Good Idea . . . Maybe you should have realised that earlier before you began below the belt juvenile insults.

Oh ! And you claim that she is aligned with my political views (might be true!). . . .But the only person to say they agreed with her views was you. . . . .
