I still think the Daily Mail Telegraph Express Sun etc will do their best to destroy Starmer if he does become PM both in their papers and online.

The right wing press will slaughter Starmer as they did with Foot Kinnock Callaghan and sadly as you say Corbyn. 

Where as the abysmal Tory leaders get away with it.

The League of Ireland has Tom the Gom, YBIG has Het-field 

Is that all you got (including being unnecessarily insulting about Tom?). Why don’t you actually respond to my points. You ducked the one about SF’s budget and now you’re ducking again.

I'm fed up of telling you the same thing over and over again that's why. You don't have the brain capacity to evaluate both sides of any subject. 
BTW The basis for you're argument on the SF budget is an article in the Sunday Business Post / Irish Times (Fine Gael propaganda machines & no other media outlets carried the story) , yet you seem to seem to divert away from the fact that Doherty went back to the Business Post on several occasions and pointed out their miscalculation and yet they still went and published the article and wont publish the response submitted by Doherty. That tells you everything you need to know. Even 1 little search on Twitter shows you Doherty attacking the Business Post on the 3rd of March to which they have also failed to reply. 

bump for Tory Boy. So it's basically your economic and financial view is better than Doherty's and independent auditors of the SF budget. well done. you won Tory Boy. 

Not a response. You worked on the assumption that id lifted my views from an article I never read. Maybe you can return to the original response I posted an actively try to engage and not just repeat Doherty. After all, I can read the document and see the issues in terms of increased funding under a shrunken tax base and the historical problems of doing it that way. 

But thanks for giving me the win here. Quite magnanimous of you.

that just confirms you're an idiot like Eoin Burke-Kennedy and Conal Thomas LOLLOL

 

So reading makes somebody an idiot?
