Jump To Comment: 1 2According to Monday’s “Irish Times” (27th June) the Labour Party now appears to be throwing its weight behind the Israeli regime and opposing the Freedom Flotilla
According to the article in the Times, Dublin Labour councillor Richard Humphreys has appealed to the passengers and crew of the MV Saoirse to stay at home.
The Labour councillor says that such flotillas should be discouraged, and blocked by UN member states, “as they may only provide a focus for violence.”
I figure its now time for Labour to do the decent thing and merge with the Blueshirts!
Cllr Humphrey's is a loiterer and a fool, what interests me here is that he (like the Greens before him) has learnt
that the Junior Coalition Party command an infinitely larger amount of press-toadies when they are in government.
This seems to intoxicate them to the point where they feel that *people actually listen to them*
RH must be pushing the mid-forties now and tired of the law library-shadows... the fact that he is a mouth-piece
for Enda Kenny's policies just points to how corrupt the Labour party have become, Quinn, Humphreys and Burton
really have shown themselves to be utter lackeys . (as did Mc Dowell and Gormley)
There can no longer be a pretence amongst the Labour Party that they represent anything more than a scion
of the centre-right, and I believe that voters won't have to be waiting too long in the long grass to make it clear
to them that unresolved rightists (for whatever reason) are nothing more than New Fine Gael.
the first man to jump to Humphrey's defence is a Fine Gaeler on Politics.ie :
