Vote Mannix
Gerald Mannix Flynn is running for the European elections and I’m voting for him. Yeah yeah yeah I know I dissed him and his antics a few years ago but now I don’t really care about it.
Yes, he was a member of the Arts Council who received a grant from the Arts Council when I was lying starving by the roadside clutching at peoples legs to try fund the development of an Irish comics industry but after reading his work and learning more about the generally universal crooked funding I calmed down. The whole affair is sickening still even though they have appeared to have reformed a fair bit.
He’s a chancer. So am I, so is my Da, so are most of my mates. If I can get a stroke I’ll take it. I don’t regret attacking him though, he was the perfect example and the exact opposite of a soft target. Imagine if I called out some chode who writes for The Dubliner or something? It’d have no clout.
We all appear to be dissatisfied with the current government so what have we got to lose by electing somebody who rules with the heart instead of the head. His manifesto is good, including a re-evaluation of arts in the community. Which basically means stop paying NCAD drop outs to smoke rollies in between teaching smack head how to model their feelings in clay.
So vote Mannix or that creepy black lad who has tiny posters. Nice fokkin’ campaign colours Mannix! Blue and green should never be seen without a colour in between.
Ah who am I joshin? I’m not voting for anybody. But maybe you should.
