Hopeless Labour representatives

U wot m8.

He wasn't active in politics until 2010.

She claimed she came here fleeing political persecution after his death in 2006.

Guess she came in a Deloreon lol
We don’t know that this was the basis on which she claimed asylum. She has said she told them her life was in danger because his was in danger.
 
I couldn’t agree more. But that should not extend to questioning the legitimacy of her being here. In my opinion anyway.

Of course it does.

If she publicly lied about her version of events its not that much of a stretch ask if she told the truth in her asylum application.

Im always astonished with people going for office and not expecting to be subject to the same scrutiny as everyone else.

Just ask Jim Gavin 😆

Lol she said he died in 2006, unless you think she had some Weekend at Bernies type deal going.

Also she has serious questions to answer regarding the truth of her life supposedly being in danger in Nigeria only to move back there for 4 months in 2010.

Labour should already have cut her loose. There's already a big enough public perception of Bacik as an idiot.

As Roxy said, that depends on whether "the typo" was limited to the labour website in an attempt to garner a few votes or whether she entered the country on false pretences and her asylum claim is in fact bogus

I'm a fairly open borders person. The workforce and all our pensions are heavily reliant on immigrant labour if I had my way I would be far more liberal with a work permit system so people can come and work and contribute and quite a but less liberal when it comes to people falsely claiming asylum

Ogbu probably is not that. But the truth would be a nice thing to know before any assumptions are made one way or the other

Once the press get wind of a politician telling porkies they are quite happy to let them dig their own grave.

Until she gives a detailed explanation of the inconsistencies in her story this will roll on.

That Labour thought they could attack the journalists and paper for doing their job is incredible . Major whiff of panic.

Has the story even carried though? Besides the Mail I don’t see any other outlet running with it.

Yup. Braindead shit from labour. I suppose their old guard are long gone at this stage
 
Of course it does.

JG was considered fair game. I'd say media won't touch this one with a barge pole!!

Several of the regional Connacht publications have it.

Shes trending all week too.

She may as well enjoy being Mayor. Labour would be out of their mind to select her as a general election candidate.
