Money that will be used to drive home the fib that the world is being controlled by the hard-left and spread fear of socialist anti-semites, no doubt.

If the Conservative Party feel they're going to need the extra cash to persuade us to vote for them they must realise that they're currently a bunch of wankers and shit at government! :D :D

They're setting up the situation where a) they can swamp the populace with positive messages about themselves (or negative messages about the opposition), and b) allowing far more money to come in from outside the party, in return for who knows what, the rewards for supporting them are not required to be publicised... yet more "jobs for the boys". If they get in again you can expect a LOT more scenarios like the PPE tenders to companies which didn't exist 5 minutes before and never supplied anything, yet walked away with cash from the government coffers.

You haven't totally got the hang of the current spivs y'know.

Money that will be used to pay large amounts of £££s to the hard working souls in their campaign offices...ie family. :thumbup:

I think if they get in again we will be close to a civil war, literally the rich against the poor and i can tell you for fact the poor wont stand up for any more oppression whilst they actively and quite publically set out laws that only benefit their rich mates.

Also expect loads more knife crime, more crime generally and the continuation of anger and disrespect throughout our society.

Point of order: it's not "oppression" if all they're doing is feathering their own (and families/friends) nests, it's just corruption, (or maybe simple neglection of duty if you want to be nice).

Oppression would be ordering the police to stalk the streets, arresting random people for no good reason and otherwise preventing the general public from going about their daily lives. That's not happening, if anything the police are being de-funded and abandoned to their own fate, just like the rest of us.

The Conservatives WANT you to go about your daily life, they want you in a nice little bubble of ignorance so they can get on with making money without any interference from you. And that's what is happening, because we all have jobs and social lives that have nothing to do with politics.

It'll be interesting to see that when/if a different lot get in they reduce the limit.

Dunno who Paddy is, but I agree with his point about lefty/wokeists killing the far right moniker. Even the BBC branded everyone walking to the cenotaph, including veterans, as far right, although they later changed their wording.


[Paddy Manning]ن
@PaddyJManning
SHUT UP!
Just shut up Drew Harris, Helen McEntee, Michéal Martin, any member of the Cabinet, Paul Murphy, all of the media hive mind, every single progressive lefty, every compassionazi, anybody about to use the phrase "Far Right". It's not just that you morons have reduced the phrase to meaninglessness by your constant, imbecilic repetition, but it's now a goad, a spur, an insult that cleaves this country even further as you dismiss anger, fear and worry. It's making things worse.
Realise one thing. The tragic savagery that happened on Parnell St today is your fault. You built this. When you were warned that Asylum was being abused, you parroted "Far Right" like Orwell's sheep. When you were warned that Ireland had more Algerian asylum seekers than any other country, even than France that ruled the place, you parroted that phrase. You refused to deal with the ridiculous numbers arriving without documents, refused to speed up the asylum system & then refused to deport those who didn't qualify for asylum. When workers couldnt buy houses because you made them too scarce & too expensive & 10,000 of our own people had no home at all, you committed to providing houses for people not legally entitled to be here & who had, like Josef Puska, no intention of ever working. When ordinary decent hard-working taxpayers were irked by this insane policy once more, you parroted the phrase "Far Right".
You pretended culture didn't matter as you flooded working class areas with single men from a culture that regards women in a Western culture as blow-up sex dolls made of meat.
You used that stupid phrase as a prophylactic, protecting you from thinking, from listening, from realising the real cost of a set of policies as stupid & destructive as they were lawless.
Stop pretending that there's some vast conspiracy instead of merely anger at your silly & damaging policies. Now that anger is fierce, terrible & dangerous. You broke every rule of ordinary politics & your incompetence has led us to a terrible place, that place where the institutions of state, of law, of information are no longer trusted by a sizeable portion of the population. You alienated people who see their country been run for the benefit of strangers & the gombeen class that can milk the refugee housing gravy train. Do you even realise where we are or how much damage you fools have done to the ties that should bind a country?
We are entitled to have our government, the government for which we pay, put our interests first. Instead you've funded an ugly hive of Non Governmental Organisations, consulted these Government Assisted Non Governmental Organisation's & put the interests of these GANGOs & of the Josef Puskas of the world at the heart of the business of the State.
It's not much to ask that we should have a country, our parents left us one. It's not wrong to expect that, however, welcoming our country might be, that it would not offer strangers more than it offered natives in largesse. You declared such thoughts to be those of shaved head, jackbooted, 88 tattooed savages.
Stop condescending, stop lying, stop ignoring. Commit to putting the country's people first, their needs, their safety & never, ever use the phrase "Far Right" again. That way, maybe you can avert catastrophe.

Prior to reading your comment, I said to my wife that for some people in the uk, their lives are not dissimilar from modern slavery: crazy hours, poor pay, high cost of living, nothing to show for it; piss off the boss and you're out on your ear. By piss off; meaning to complain or not be grateful.
