A politician trying to get funding for a project in his constituency. Shocking.<br />Ian Og is hardly any different in this from any other politician.<br />If by laager mentality you mean a circular wagon fort, are you suggesting this road will end up going round in circles?giordanobrunonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-63338217788448998502013-10-08T11:41:18.419+01:002013-10-08T11:41:18.419+01:00Do you think that Ian Og is unique in this respect...Do you think that Ian Og is unique in this respect?Just because he is indifferent to the development of the A 5(one of the Shinners pet projects) doesn't make him a bad person.He seems quite typical of the politician class.Their first priority is to get re-elected and if that means they have to be parochial ,that's what they will do!Have a look at Barry Mc Elduff on Twitter and you'll see little difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-48881998161480545432013-10-08T11:27:43.085+01:002013-10-08T11:27:43.085+01:00I seem to remember Gerry Adams a few years back su...I seem to remember Gerry Adams a few years back suggesting to his constituents in the shankill area to vote Sinn Fein, reminding them that they had the lowest levels of academic achievment in the country. Now that could be seen as genuine concern from Mr Adams if it wasn't for the fact that he was their elected representive at Westminster and 4 of the 5 MLA's representing their interests in the N I assembly were Sinn Fein, the other being Alex Atwood. What Mr Adams was really telling the Shankill was to vote Sinn Fein or he and his party would do cuss all for them and their academic achievment levels. But then again Mr Adams did have some pevious in his contempt for Shankill people. And if the A5 wasn't linking two jurisdictions you wouldn't give a cuss about it either, just like Mr Paisley Jnr. I didn't hear about the Frosses Rd scandal this morning though i did hear about quite a few others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965333981619997978.post-19914568292099168802013-10-08T11:06:07.142+01:002013-10-08T11:06:07.142+01:00''No politician opens his/her mouth withou...''No politician opens his/her mouth without thought at some level as to how this will go down with his/her constituents''<br /><br />True although Ian usually opens his mouth without any thought, the list is long and controversial so I wont bother but the most recent brain fart moment is still one of my favourites 'Do I look like a guy under threat mate' - classic, he gets my vote!boondocknoreply@blogger.com
