On Irish TV tonight Caroline Simons's the Libertas anti abortion candidate for Dublin refused to say how much she was intending to spend or where the money would come from. .She even went red in the face when she was trying to evade answering the question on every-one's lips. Where do you get the cash Libertas. Eventually under intense questioning she said she would spend the legally allowed 200,000 to 250,000 and that she was getting donations from "around the country".
Can one person who has given money to Simon's please let me know.............
Caroline really messed up again when she said Roman Herzog had been the "prime minister" of Germany. Eh NO Caroline try Wikipedia your party edit it enough Germany has Presidents not prime minsters.
When she brought up the Lisbon Treaty she was completely nutty.
She said that Ireland had been "given a constitution in the early part of the last century" and this was "fine". Does she mean that we should return to the 1922 Anglo Irish Treaty that ended the Irish War of Independence and led to the Civil war 1922-23?
Does she mean that we should replace the Lisbon Treaty and Ireland's two subsequent constitution's? The 1937 abolished the Irish Free State and links with constitutional links with the United Kingdom the 1948 constitution and created the modern Irish Republic? Libertas are pushing a nutty idea.
It would seem that Libertas want Ireland to return to being called the Irish Free State and that our elected representatives would swear allegiance to the British royal family. This would tie in with Ganley's own love for the British military and their personnel who he has employed to run Libertas in Northern Ireland.
At the end of the show Simon's came out in favour of tightening up Ireland's immigration laws and seemed to be crestfallen that the country can't close its doors to EU citizens. The more Libertas are forced to answer questions the more far right their stance is shown to be.
Irish Free State of Xenophobia anyone?
The idea that Libertas believe that Ireland should return to being The Free State is not out of touch with Declan Ganley's hagiographer Bruce Arnold who recently signed a letter demanding that Ireland return to being part of the British Commonwealth . http://www.irelandandthecommonwealth.com/
