The Mick Lynch appreciation thread .

I'm afraid I don't know a Pat Higgins. I knew a Liam Higgins who was fairly clued up on Cork History though.

FFS Noel you know the man. Bombs and Bullets was his nickname. Haven't seen him around lately as the IRA/SF depot in Barrack street seems closed.

Why shouldn't he live in his Council house?

Just because he has a decent job now as a Union rep?

He was obviously entitled to it before he got his latest role.

Try buying a decent house or flat in London on €100k gross.

Or even £100k gross.

Even worse, try putting 2 children through nursery and buying a decent house in London on £100k...

Touche.

Property tax & Transport costs?

Now London is running out of electricity for new homes so existing homeowners values can only rise, I guess.

Tories savaging each other over cheap/expensive clothes and accessories and people attacking a Union rep for simply existing in one of the most expensive countries in Europe.

Aspire to be poor?

I never said he shouldnt.

 

[How bad boy]

Quite.

I honestly have no idea how normal people on an average household income survive the period of early household ownership and early parenthood.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I hate the phenomenon of a figure being portrayed as some wise sage off the back of a few video snippets on Twitter.

He's just another Brexiteer tool.

 

[Stacky]

I never said he shouldnt.

I know but the people attacking him are on many multiples of his salary anyway just trying to score cheap points and undermine him.

I may not agree with him on points, but they are digging deep at this stage in the Tory right-wing factions.

At least if he continues to occupy the flat no Johnny Foreigner will get it which suits him.
