It never ceases to amaze me.
Come election time, local or national, politicians always put their brass necks and brazen faces on display as they knock on doors for votes at family homes that most of them had not darkened since previous elections.
The General Election next month will be a display of arrogance and ignorance by men and women of different party hues as they fight their corners, their corners mind, not ours, in a desperate bid to get their fat arses back on to cushy Dáil seats.
Own goals
That Sinn Féin have scored so many own goals as a party in recent times in particular perhaps suggests that the FF/FG Mafiosa, maybe but not definitely, will, in tandem with the greedy greens, again form the next Government.
Continuing with the FF/FG/Green trinity of disaster will most definitely be a further kick in the teeth for our people as, regardless of what they tell us, all three are parties for the wealthy who will continue to be molly coddled while hard working and honourable families will be treated as pieces of dirt on a shoddy carpet.
Bribe their way
It is pitiful to listen to Government and its lackeys reminding us of the array of financial gifts they have for us at election time as they bid to bribe their way into the next Dáil.
The disingenuous so and sos should be reminded that it is our money that they are playing with as they lick backsides and charm babies with all the grace of a three-legged donkey on an ice rink.
It is disgusting and irritating to listen to their waffle and indeed to the gibberish of most political groupings as all eye seats around the trough of plenty.
As Government sugar coats its offerings for its followers and anybody else who wants to vote for them there is not a mention about the horrible state of our hospitals and the desperate so-called healthcare that is on offer from the Health Services Executive (HSE).
Dear God, at a so-called time of plenty our healthcare, or the lack of it, is Third World.
Reality is that this Government thinks more of horses and greyhounds than it does of sick children and indeed thinks even less of our homeless and parents rearing their children in stuffy hotel rooms.
‘extra deaths’
Of course we are well aware that all of our children are equal. We know too that some are more equal than others.
Amidst all the hubbub of election time, the handshakes, the pitiful smiles and pseudo greetings, there won’t be a single word about ‘extra deaths’ in Kilkenny and other counties and indeed across the world.
Why are we losing so many people of all ages while nobody in power, most politicians, many medical people, journalists and many others turning a blind eye and refusing to be drawn into discussion about Covid and all its woes, Covid vaccines and their trail of destruction.
Ask your local local politician about vaccines and the colour will quickly ooze from embarrased jaws.
Whether we like it or not the reality is that we are now living in a country where censorship is more rampant than in North Korea or Russia.
Ah sure what about it. Won’t we benefit from all the promises made on doorsteps by ruthless vote touters.
Keep an eye out for white Blackbirds, Dodo Birds and honest politicians.
