Bandwagon Buster

Tired of people and organisations jumping on bandwagons. Here to point out the hypocrisy and populism. No bandwagon is too big or too small to tackle

[Samsara 🎤🎵🎹 @SamsaraSings]

Bono is a first class prick. He always was. Here he is at Glen Hansard’s funeral reciting (not singing) the lyrics of A Beautiful Day. He changed a word here and there.

Then, he decides to sing one line and wonders why the crowd isn’t joining.

Meanwhile, The Edge is off to the side to … back him up???

When Bono was done, he turns and bows to the crowd and thanks the priest for the use of the church.

Should I tell my Bad Bono stories from back in the day again?

@cloneywill @kymkellymusic @ShaneBeattyNews @NewstalkFM But the man made a correct prediction. Lockdown lifted just as he said.

@EamonMelia Was Bobby Sands born in Fermanagh or Tyrone?

@DerryDeeCeltic @sinnfeinireland I think you will find that Mary Lou was a member of FF rather than FG. It is not particularly nice to call Mary Lou a rat. You should be ashamed of yourself.

@cillian32 @ReadaCronin @mairedev Her suspension by Sinn Fein a couple of years ago seems to have cost her dearly.

@EFFanning Turns out the quote from Ms O'Sullivan was actually correct, she confirmed it on Morning Ireland

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

@spaghoop Liadh Ni Riada and Lynn Boylan had none either and based on the recent result they have both been found out. Maria Walsh has 5 years to learn the ropes a bit better than the two aforementioned ladies.

@JohnMor79492953 @KeithMillsD7 @sinnfeinireland Sinn Fein can only co-opt somebody from a Replacement List which must be submitted at nomination time.

@WatchPopulistIr @ParrysGhost I'd agree that most of them would be FF 1-2

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

@WatchPopulistIr @ParrysGhost Byrne had 69166 first prefs and was eliminated at 80623. So over 14% of his votes originated elsewhere

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

@ParrysGhost It will also include votes which Byrne had received from earlier eliminated candidates

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

@Colliniho Although it is Kelliher surplus it is still the Byrne votes as that is the bundle which brought him over quota

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

@OGormanPaul81 There was a lot less anger among the electorate. Many are relatively happy with their lot at the moment. The "Fighting for you" slogan didn't particularly resonate well.

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

@OGormanPaul81 Supporters let them down??? I Perhaps they let their supporters down!!!

[Extinction Rebellion Ireland @ExtinctRebelsIE]

Our first demand 'to Tell the Truth and Declare an Emergency" has been met.😃 But words without action is meaningless. We must put in place legally binding policy measures to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2030 💚✊

[Green Party Ireland @greenparty_ie]

Tonight's historic climate emergency declaration is a testament to Green politics and the hard work of our two TDs, @EamonRyan and @cathmartingreen, in keeping climate breakdown on the political agenda. It goes to show, if you want green action, vote Green ✅ #WantGreenVoteGreen

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

@ReadaCronin You spoke well today and in my opinion won the argument. As a matter of interest who was the councillor that was mentioned as having to withdraw an incorrect accusation?

[Bandwagon Buster @BandwagonBuster]

Can anybody please tell me the exact date when it became unacceptable to kill somebody for a political cause in Ireland?
