Wtf, as they say on Facebook and other places. Or “What the fuck?” as I sometimes say to my nearest and dearest. I said it again last night, not after the leaders’ debate on TV, but after watching the response to the leaders’ debate on RTÉ’s The Eleventh Hour , which featured Keelin Shanley with […]

Telling it like it wasn’t?

Five leading men
Political commentators, by and large, are cowards, and when they’re not cowards they’re ignoramuses. If the outcome of a contest is uncertain, nine times out of ten they’ll sit on the fence and the tenth time they’ll call it wrong. So you’ll notice there have been very few people telling us who is going to […]
