The BBB Strike again

Was this an attempt by Mr Noonan to seem as popular as Mr Aherne

Michael Noonan while out campaigning in Boyle Co. Roscommon today was the recipient of a ceremonial pie in the face.
Has this become a hazard to be faced when campaigning in the North west of the country?

I only heard late this afternoon that Mary harney was in Limerick, but they didn't say where.
I don't have any cream pies but it would have been nice to go harass her anyway.

Utterly silly childish behaviour which achieves absolutely nothing. What on earth does it achieve?

What it definetely does is show the difference between you and I, you on the one hand may prefer futile dialog with such beasts, I on the other hand come from the school of "direct abstract action", I'll leave you to your methods and you leave me to mine.

It has come to a very sad state of affairs when the GR/SWP idea of struggle is throwing custard pies. What would Tony Cliff think.

Yes Ciara, I am grown up!!!!
