Water Charges (1 Viewer)

There is a public meeting against the water charges here today. I arrived over at the shop at the same time as the early mass crowd, all elderly people. Two old guys were talking as I passed, one saying to the other " they want you to address the USC" , the other replying "yes, that has to go". Needless to say I immediately called the Gardai and warned them of this sinister Leninist cabal fomenting amidst the decent, reasonable people of Leixlip.
 
what in the name of mad daily mail parody is this fucking shit

Paul Murphy TD: An apology - Independent.ie
yeah, thats a fairly petulant piece alright.

However, Paul Murphy is a dick. Glad he got fined over those posters. I had a run-in with him over them and registered complaints about 10 or so of the 70 mentioned.

I agree with a lot of his politics but I fear hes so clumsy that he'll end up becoming a sideshow that will distract from the issues hes claiming to fight for.
 
any media-savvy people have any notion as to what the independent are playing at? why are they publishing the likes of gene kerrigan at the same time as absolute gutter-press tripe? it hardly gives the illusion of balance; more like schizophrenia

I think that because Kerrigan is a columnist, he gets to say what he wants. They can't spike his column without blowback.
The rest of the paper is what they are about. Editorial opinion flows from the top.
