Brillant fair play to the lads bring it to there doorstep. Seen yous on the RTE news
Yes
Thanks to efforts like yours the country can still come out of this disgraqce with our heads high.
Vote No to a homogenous Europe. I want to be able to visit foreign countries without leaving Europe.
Great work guys.
No to the Lisbon Constitution.
Even the not so republican-friendly Independent couldn't ignore this one!
It is quite amazing how journalists feel the need to lie.
Kerr writes: "Only at the Ilac Centre did Eamon Gilmore try to disarm him again, as Gaeilge. "Cad is ainm duit? Carbh as tu?" he queried.
Uncle Sam paled. One of his helpers rowed in, telling Eamon to "Na bi ag pleacaiocht" (meaning 'Leave him alone and don't be messing').
But the Labour/Fine Gael tactic had worked. Uncle Sam huddled with his colleagues and duly disappeared, leaving the deflated canvassers to find their rhythm, stride and voice.
They trundled down Mary Street, before canvassing Henry Street again -- minus Uncle Sam."
She probably is a failed novelist or something. I wonder why?
Anyways, this is really what happened (I swear!!)
Kenny, Gilmore, Andrews & Costelloe didn't know what to be doing with themselves when Uncle EU started to tell it as it is. After a while of irritation and (I would think) embarrassment, Gilmore started asking UNcle EU where he was from (in not very good Irish), most likely trying to either rattle Uncle EU (he probably thought he really was a Yank!), or make it look like he was engaging him seriously. He never responded to the points made about Lisbon, of course. He kept going on with the 'where are you from' (in Irish - basically implying 'what the f**k is it to you...foreigner')
Anyways, a member of éirígí responded to him (in Irish), "Don't be playing games. If you want to talk to someone in Irish about Lisbon, I'll talk to you". He went even redder!! He was also also if he knew who's birthday it was. He didn't know. He was told it was Connolly's, and was asked what he thought Connolly would think of a United States of Europe? He went even redder, and tried to defend himself by saying he is a socialist. He was told him not to be having a laugh. He went even redder
That. Ms. Kerr is what happened. Have a little look at the RTE footage if you don't remember Connolly being mentioned
Does this man look upset??
not very good quality but here's the rté footage from the news
Good work Eirigi!
Lets hope the poll holds true..
Well done to éirígí. I liked the question - "what would James Connolly have voted for?"
I for one will use my vote, a vote it took generations of sacrifice to gain, based on advice given by a man in a fake beard, top hat and with a megaphone.
Wise up
Well done to all the activists for that original action, the type of stuff the media just can't ignore.
Uncle EU's my new hero!
Seen a van parked outside Lenister House today with the éirígí logo/banner what was that all about. Anyone heard anything about it nothing on their website about it www.eirigi.org
