sw,

His (slightly) multi-ethnic family seems to be composed almost entirely of members who died in their 30s. Cut down in their primes while Cllr. Hurley went on alone. Growing older. And sadder.

I have, Cnuimh. Some bizarre technicolouring effect has rendered her black and orange. In heaven (or a Fine Gael led Ireland) she could have a mickey too, not just boobs.

Have you seen Cllr. Byrne’s poster? I have it on good authority she actually does have boobs!

Hee, Playmobil.

I think ‘Boobs for All’ is a good slogan.

I’m so unconvinced by the token black guy in this picture. They’re not Irish. Nope. They’re American.

“I put it to you, Cllr. Hurley, that enthusiastic though your Playmobil minions may be, it’s rather hard to believe that they’ll be able to perform anything but the most rudimentary tasks. At the very least (and I mean no disrespect to people who’ve lost limbs etc), at the very least what this country needs, in its present state, are committed individuals with multiple digits on both hands. I mean otherwise, you know, we’re in an awful state altogether.”

Gay Mitchell is definitely campaigning from Heaven in his posters. I think the people behind FG’s candidates are an army of playmobil minions.

They will clean up the nation with tiny open clenched hands.

Fergal, we (or rather FG) seem to be veering into “Heaven’s Gate” territory here. If a Fine Gael councillor comes to my door wearing a beatific smile and expounding at length about astral forms and mother ships I’ll let you know.

I know times are tough. But (subliminally) suggesting mass suicide as an option does seem a tad OTT.

Incidentally, Priority One on Cllr. Hurley’s campaign flyer (which was, coincidentally, delivered to my door this very evening) is as follows.

“Anti Social Behaviour [vandalism etc.] must be eliminated”.

Not tackled, or reduced, or addressed. Eliminated. Cllr. Hurley has gone all “Arnie” on us it would seem. Nothing but total destruction of Anti Social behaviour will do.

Should be easy. I look forward to seeing the results.
