Paddy Holohan's venture into politics going well.

[Crom Cruach]

Sinn Fein have to take what they get.

They are the anti-establishment party.

They are a weird mashup of Nationalism and Socialism.

I don't meant it like the Godwin way you think but more like if Trump and Bernie had a baby together using IVF and then had be it's two dads. Bernie's social welfare for all economics with Trumps America First jingoism.

They clearly took Paddy because he is a local celeb in a real rough area.

The fact that he is a fruit cake probably wasnt seen as a negative in their motley crew.

I know what SF are like.. I'm from the North.

It's hard to call them anti establishment up here when they've been in government for 10 out of the last 12 years, and achieved fuck all apart from handing welfare powers back to the Tories and Westminster etc etc..

I'm a Irish nationalist, but I will never vote for SF out of principle.. most of their support at least in Northern Ireland, stems from whipping up republican fervour in the face of the DUP's consistent hatred for anything culturally Irish.

Paddy has left his old life behind. Gone are the days where he was paid to bludgeon peoples heads in, in a cage surrounded by blood thirsty fans eager to see murder death kill.
No longer paddy the body, now paddy the mind.

 

[ocfightfan]

MMA fighters have no place in politics, what an absolute moron


Anything SBG related is a cancer to Ireland

I see.

 

[Sjb1888]

Paddy is quite simply too honest and open to make it as a politician.

Patches O'Houlihan?

 

[vindaloo]

Ireland has huge problems right now, its probably going to kick off big time there sometime soon.

 

[Dana's Moonface]

I see.

GOATS

 

[keepemup]

I support Paddy. Based on the original post he makes sense.

 

[mmafan559]

would fit right in across the pond

 

[Goatenstein]

What a joy watching Smolka bash this bigot was and is today.

 

[bigconan]

Always thought he was a decent guy, shame he has some wierd ass views especially the underage sex thing. I haven't read/seen it in context so idk the full story in fairness

we all know that women are completely innocent, never do anything to harm men or their reputation...they never ever falsely claim rape....if you honestly believe that, I'd love to live in that fairy tail.

 

[Goatenstein]

Lotsa priests boning little boys against their will in Ireland and this guy is whining about some consenting adults' orioentation?

 

[histrionics]

Don't go into politics unless you have Phd and 150+ IQ please.
Like the one and only:

Not even the right brother you mong

 

[Mob69]

Classical delusional politics of the Irish nationalist. Utterly divorced from historical realities (and in this case, basic human morality). That comment about underage girls is outrageous.

 

[Crom Cruach]

we all know that women are completely innocent, never do anything to harm men or their reputation...they never ever falsely claim rape....if you honestly believe that, I'd love to live in that fairy tail.

Government research in the US estimates that 17.6% of US women will be raped at least once in their lifetime and 1.4% of men.
It is considered that about 35% of rapes are reported to police and 0.7% result in a conviction.
Here's a Wikipedia article that summarizes it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_the_United_States#Prevalence_and_number_of_incidents

I'm interested in your thoughts about the percentage of women you think will make a false rape claim for malicious intent or personal gain.
100% of Female citizens. What % of them, in your opinion, will make a false rape claim in their lifetime?
Sources would be nice too.

I didn't say that? Actually as someone with a legal background who lives in the UK I am very much aware of how shady and politicised alleged sex crime prosecutions are. It's actually something a lot of criminal practitioners get up in arms about round here.

With Paddy tho if he is saying hey there are men sleeping with underage women but what grosses me out is that fact that they then blackmail the men who sleep with them knowing they are underage then I take issue with that. Like I said I haven't read the context.

 

[neddac]

That's an, um, 'interesting' take.

...is he saying that to cover for someone he knows?

It's definitely very interesting timing.
