Now you arrogant clown, you might realize we the people are not fools, you lied and deceived us and this is what happens to dishonest people. I hope you don’t suggest surprise.

You’re in Labourgael Brendan.

Only one problem with your idea for the Labour party

You used words with more than one syllable, so the Labour Party leadership will just ignore it.

Here an idea Labour. Stop cutting.Actually increase welfare, cut taxes to 5%, increase unmarried mothers allowance, reduce fuel taxes, get rid of all the social levies and the housing tax.This should make you popular with a large proportion of journal readers and the real ira. If its all about being popular like Bertie was just give everyone what they want. What state you leave the country in does not matter as these polls would suggest.On the other hand you can continue to try balance the books and do what has to be done to fix this damn mess regardless of self preservation and be a patriot to the state in the long run. That is Leadership.

Arthur Spring on Sean O’Rourkes programme at the moment… ‘ When I meet the electorate on the street , people use the same two words to me…fixing it!’….oh yeah?? I can think of two words I’d give ya Spring…starts with f**k and ends with off.

Why would Howlin be worried about a bad poll? He has his pension nicely lined up as it is. He is laughing all away to retirement.

hear hear and also make sure the people responsible are not brought to account, the systems that allowed this to happen are more or less the same, the gravy train for the political classes and their cronies remains more or less unchanged. Introduce a whole new swathe of sneaky cynical taxes on ordinary people while allowing tax avoidance to be a priority. cut vital services while maintaining luxury perks. Make our society more unequal where the rich got richer out of the recession and the poor lost more of their hard fought rights now that would be leadership but hey your European masters don’t want a society based on equality and you don’t want to upset them now do you.

so he,s surprised the poll shows 6% support,
well so am i,
i,m surprised it has any support at all as this version of a labour party is not what the like,s of Connelly and Larkin envisaged at all.
they are so detached from the electorate it,s unbelievable.
they have lied and conned the very people who gave them a vote.
they have betrayed the founding principals of the labour party

“Balance the book and do what has to be done to fix this mess regardless of self preservation ” ??? what planet are you on? The only books they are interested in balancing are those of the banks and bondholders, all at the expense of the ordinary people. All the while preserving their salaries and pensions, controlling our media so no one knows what is actually going on.

A typical shit spinner…like his old mad…another f ….,.g champagne socialist….

Absolutely brilliant news! People have copped on to these impostors at last.

@daragh…and tell me Daragh , were where all these ‘patriots’ when the Celtic tiger was in full swing eh? Fg and lab drank from the same trough and are just as culpable for the disaster that ensued…all politicians were led by the nose by the bankers and big business and they still are..the politicians ARE the traitors in this sorry saga …they are TOTALLY spineless when it comes to tackle the muscle of Unions , the semi states , the Bankers , Big multi nationals , European leaders etc….but they’ll shit on the easy targets like unemployed , self employed , oap’s etc.
You talk about real leadership?…lol don’t make me laugh. If they cut their own exorbitant wages and expenses and showed a bit of initiative on creating jobs and try to streamline the amount of wastage In the PS , I would give them some credit.
But you and I know they won’t…it’s just a four or eight year stint with a pension and f…k everybody after that. And I’m afraid if you believe Noonan , Kenny , Howlin, Martin , Adams etc are any different then your sadly deluded my friend. The Mandarins in the upper eschelons of the PS willscupper any ideas of a bright spark that may raise his/her head..and the article is about Labours bad poll…that’s they are at the top of this rotten stinking pile
Patriots indeed…lol

In relation to FG, they’re more or less doing what FG do, and what they were elected to do. They were elected on an austerity agenda ( and *ahem* reform) – LAB have protected welfare at the expense of middle income / working poor. Middle income LAB voters ain’t happy with the taxes and lack of forward thinking. LAB have shown themselves to be as unimaginative as the rest.

We’ll said, their called rent a mob, a bunch of sheep. I can tell you the majority of those never voted labour in the first place. Only thing history teaches us is that history repeats itself and rent a mob will be back voting FF again as if they did nothing wrong

Grass routes labour people who have lived with the uncomfortable position that FF has left us in, not to mention the electorate who gave us a majority right wing FG party, will remain true to a labour vision no matter how impossible that is in face of rent a mob

Because Adam, Labour are supposed to be a left wing party. Thats why they were elected in by people who wanted a left wing government. That’s why they are now so unpopular, they act like right wing. In other words they do exact as FG tell them. FG/FF are right wing, people with those ideals will always vote for them no matter what they do. The Greens, well all they wanted was to tax people for pollution. I’ll never again vote Labour which I always did in the past. They sold themselves out just to get into government. If they had waited until the next GE, they probably would have gotten the majority after FG f***k up.

“Rent a mob ” is that the latest spin to be used for those that dont see things your way?

@Bertie, I see a future candidate in you my boy, keep the head down, ignore reality and you will go all the way. BTW where is Labours way?

so true Linda ,they should never have gone into government with FG ,they should have waited and they would have had a majority vote next time as ppl would have turned to them ,but Gilmore and Rabbitte wanted their big fat pensions …now Labour will suffer the same faith as the Greens and PD,S …they will never recover from this betrayal of the ppl who voted for them !

Are the most ye working in the banks what about Anglo Only for what Brian Lenihan did,all the other banks would have gone the way of Anglo a man nearly in his death bed then ye would have something to moan about all your savings gone I know FF did wrong by throwing money to children’s allowance etc I didn’t hear too many moaning then. (hipocrits)

You can say that again

Lmao!!! ;)
