I saw Catherine Connolly buy a packet of crisps in the pub and she didn't tear it open and put it in the middle of the table.

He’s an obnoxious younger version of George Hook, the fools in FFFG see him as one of their own.

Satire or analysis? I’m worried you might think Bruton had some sort of charisma to anybody apart from the most obdurate of unionist and loyalist.

The funniest thing about the Catherine Connolly smear campaign is that the establishment seems to be following Ivan Yates' advice, despite his impressive record of getting things spectacularly wrong, as highlighted on this old but evergreen tweet from @prayforpatrick.bsky.social

The tweet reads: Ivan Yates, he's the guy who went bankrupt running a fucking bookies in Ireland.

School report: Heather’s grasp of the Irish language is due to her inability to comprehend the relevance of culture and language as a means of expressing Irish identity. It’s almost as if she struggles with the conflict between her own background and the desire to be a woman of the people.
