It's been all over social media. LOTR one week, Churchill the next. It's a like a comedy sketch. Reading off cue like a 12 year old too. |

The message was more embarrassing than the quote. He's an absolute moron.

He's an absolute embarrassment. Kylie, Love Actually, Lord of the Rings? Michael Collins be spinning in his grave.

There's plenty 'lightheartedness' in the world; we don't need it from government leaders during a health pandemic. The whole speech was embarrassing.

I'm not actually sure what people are embarrassed about. He quoted something from popular culture. Its a really trivial concern.

I used to really like Varadkar but since the general election campaign began, I see him as a smarmy know-it-all who no doubt thinks he is hilarious by adding in these quotes.

I'm not sure people are embarrassed, but they feel Varadkar should be. I'm not sure it is solely because of the references to popular culture, more that it was an embarrassing speech.

That may be PM, but on here there are a number focussed on the LOTR reference. Its just finding excuses at this stage.

But not because it was a LOTR reference, more because it was incredibly stupid!

In fairness, there are at least three posts here which seemed focussed on the LOTR reference.

Because it was a LOTR reference or because it was stupid? I felt they were referencing the former to highlight the latter.

But lets be honest, the speech was bog standard fare. Nothing outstanding or breathtaking, but just a normal speech dealing with the roadmap. So the speech wasn't stupid or anything like it. And the LOTR quote at the end was just a bit irrelevant. Nothing to get worked up over.
But people will no start letting their own political judgement get in the way now, as an upcoming election would have FG in a strong position. The speech wasn't "car crash" or anything like it.

I disagree. 'Car crash' would be a good summation of it. I cringed several times and wouldn't have been surprised to be told it was a parody.
