Love the dog taking the piss!!!
A great artist with a sharp mind
Great piece of work, even better satire. I only hope enough of those corrupt philistines get to see it- think I'll mail it to a few of 'em...if thats ok?
Brutally honest and so subtle. Things like this have no place in our political system.
So the dog taking a piss is what jumps out for you Tain Bo. Explain to me the reference with hanibal lechter please. As a party member i find this offensive as my i work tirelessly in our community.
Almost every political blogg now is riddled with anti Sinn Fein sentiment no matter what the topic.
Constant comments surrounding GA and his brother Liam on the abuse scandal only fuels a defence "of no fair trial" so why continue if justice for the victim is paramount. Given Ireland has one of the highest incest rates in Europe surely constructive writings surrounding the whole issue would be better. Political debate should be welcomed here but corruption, philistines, traitors smacks of bitterness with no real will or direction.
o'bhrad you work tirelessly in the community??? doing what exactly?, hang on now a minute,yer party supports the fucking british state, supports and actively calls for informers,and protects paedophiles, ye now call for people to give information on republicans that launch attacks on the 6-county british state,whether what they do is right or wrong,ye are a party that is now identified with informing..it never was acceptable and never will be! ye now are also a party that is identified with protecting paedophiles and no one believes the arguements in yer defence . sinn fein and the PRM is now part of the problem. well done brian mor!
O’Bhrad
So you work tirelessly for the community , well and I am sure you do a great job , but your answer is direct from the party politic “don’t answer the question say something that will convince people that we are cleaner than clean “ that’s all well and good in the normal politics of day to day but O’Bhrad please open your mind up and think for yourself what people are complaining about is Paedophiles and child abusers and we want the truth not party bullshit , does Gerry Adams really believe that we are so stupid as to believe he didn’t know the activities of his brother in Sinn Fein . Arthur Morgan is even better he said he didn’t know Liam was once the Chairperson of his own Louth party, lies lies and damn lies
O’Bhrad
“Love the dog taking the piss!!!”
“So the dog taking a piss is what jumps out for you Tain Bo.”
I like the way you changed my words “taking the piss” not taking “a” piss?
Should we now censor cartoons and void any opinion?
Personally I would rather discuss the artistic merit obviously the cartoonist is highly skilled.
The dog taking the piss in the cartoon could be translated into many things without the dog the cartoon would be unfinished.
If you cannot laugh about corruption then perhaps you are corrupt?
Go n-éirí leat
O'Bhrad, dear tireless O'Bhrad, I was going to engage you in the task you've been chosen for, but after several moments of contemplation I find myself humbled by your superior argument. I couldn't possibly "take the piss" out of you or your superior knowledge and open-mindedness, you have done an incredible job all on your own. Well done. My compliments to the party's Communications Dept., as effective as ever.
Go hiontach! When a picture says a 1000 words number. love it! Aside to O'Bhrad lighten up. It must be the ultimate bummer (no pun intended) to cop a visual reality burst one has been duped. Stay blind or grow a mind. Church & State sealed your fate into the
21st century & now it's exploded in your face.
Love Brian Mór. One of the best at what he does. Brilliant.
Hope the voters have as much sense as the dog...if not then get every dog the vote!! If the dead can vote why not the dogs??
