In response, FG have issued a video of Heather digging out a fox and setting the hounds on it, to the tune of The Chemical Brothers "Dig Your Own Hole".

This is the type of new energy we need in Irish politics, young smart and…shit wait…this guy looks familiar…

Rob @robosullivan.bsky.social · 8d

So weird. This considerate Leo Varadkar guy looks a lot like this dude who was trying to scapegoat vulnerable people with right-wing narratives.

Incredible to think that Humpreys drew attention to her record in over seeing the 2016 Centenary programme on the debate last night. Which reveals her to have been an early pioneer of the aesthetics of AI shlop and other shitshows.

The 3D printed houses thing was such a pulled from the air slice of “we don’t really give a fuck about you and your problems” that it’ll single handedly write off HH to multiple generations that are locked out. HH and JG were like awful people to get stuck beside at a wedding.

Why is Kieran Cuddihy bringing up the "alleged" attack on an NFL player, when the Guards have already said no complaints was made and therefore we don't even know it happened. Why is he fuelling the "Ireland is unsafe" narrative? #Aras25

I don’t know why Cuddihy thinks this needs to be shouty. We need to actually hear what the candidates have to say. #TonightVMTV #Aras25

Yeah, the tone he sets is so barracking it’s plain off putting.

Can we please be straight on this - lads sticking up flags on lampposts is straight out of the Loyalist playbook. You see fuck all of these flags coming out of gaff windows. It’s a totally astroturfed by individuals and does not represent whole communities.

Oof, Humperies and Gavin are both going to overlook the far-right co-opting of displaying the tricolour flag in certain areas? #TonightVMTV #Aras25

Steen, Sheridan, McGregor et al had YEARS to do the work but they didn't, preferring instead to hurl from the ditch and then blame the referee.
They are not serious political people.
They are a bunch of staggeringly entitled pick-mes, and the system worked as it should to weed them out. #speirgorm

Before Sept none of them had any interest in reform of the nomination process. Not once did any of them even mention models like Poland or Finland. And now they are all taking a leaf from Trump and ranting about fake democracy and calling for ballots to be spoiled FFS. An army of delusional flutes.

Look, the one saving grace is that she is so venomous she may well mobilise a lot of people who mightn’t have bothered voting and now regret staying at home during the last referendum votes and elections. The Connolly campaign can seize on it as a ballot on rejecting the far-right and sky pilots.

RashersT @rasherst.bsky.social · 15d

Exactly this. And they’ll flood the zone with absolute shit too. It’ll choke any reasoned or actual debate with the type of astroturfing we have seen with McGregor. There is a delegitimisation strategy at play here to undermine our democracy.

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 15d

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).

My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

Wendy Lyon @wendylyon.bsky.social · 15d

This is exactly it. She will 100% run as the candidate who “knows what a woman is” (and will undoubtedly pick up endorsements from pseudo-feminists because of it)

The Aircoach is great if you book in advance. It’s a rip off on the spot. Which is probably where most folks arriving find it. Yeah the sea or different pick up spots is confusing as hell and schedules that have no bearing on actual reality too.
