which, in turn, translated out of pinko/I hate Bertie & FF speak means FF as a party is big enough to reflect the views of a small farmer from West Cork and a Judge from Ballsbridge

sorry...couldnt resist....

Would somebody care to define the word "pinko", as meaningless a phrase as I have ever heard.

Pinko (Pink-Óh) - Socialist in Ireland who is happy to take everything that's going (eg. directorship of eircom) and would trample over the body of their mother to get a handout. Will keep mouth shut while all boats are rising and never acknowledge economic success yet complain bitterly when economy slows down. See also "smoked salmon socialism"...

I didn't ask for a definition of "publican" "farmer" or "local FF councillor", Conor!

I no speak pinko. Pinko's are just as much the enemy of true socialism as thieving conniving scum like bertie and his clique.

This is Ireland, Eanna man, the last true Socialist was shot in 1916.

All too aware of that unfortunately. Thats what you get for throwing your lot in with FF*, and the Shinners and all the other self-serving capitalists. The world needs true revolution unlike anything ever seen before- Anarchy is my buzzword

*- Fully aware they didn't exist but their founding members were there
