Ciaran’s Peculier [sic] Blog

Remember the days when Green Party conferences were places of slightly hippy and left-field idealism? Well thanks to Gormless John those days are past. In fact his speech could well have been delivered by a Fianna Fail minister. So identifiable with a Fianna Fail Ard Fheis was the whole thing that one wonders were the foyers of Watervford’s hotels filled with Green Party activists who had crashed out after a skinful.

  Take the claptrap about “tough decisions”.. This swill could have come from the mouth of that bitch Mary Hanafin.  It was worse, because it was an attempt by Gormless John to try and present himself as a big, hard man, but it sounded as butch as the hysterical squeaks from a harem’s eunuch.

 Now cutting the blind pension is not a tough action; it is cowardly John. And then you come out with the real howler about commitment to a just society – in your dreams.

 I find it hard to square the fact that John Gormley sat at cabinet with people making such cowardly cuts with his supposed defence of the rights of people in Tibet. It will be recalled how the Chinese ambassador was so incensed by his remarks some years ago that he left in protest. If Gormley cares as much for the people of Tibet as he does for Ireland’s blind and partially sighted, he is nothing but a common hypocrite.
