Pro tip: When MM reaches for the 'anti-European' slur, he is defending someone up to no good, using the EU. When he is front-paged doing so by the SIndo, watch this space. He uses it like they use "Anti-American" thar lear, to shut off debate. To end thinking. One candidate is onto him.
Ivan Yates would approve the tactic.
SIndo give HH a full page today. She uses the i/v to ask "legitimate questions", denying any smear. Naturally. Maybe they will give CC a soft full page interview next Sunday. In fairness to us readers who like to weigh both sides. #Áras25 #PresidentialElection #CatherineConnolly #Journalism

I hear HH is singing that tunlesss line today. Pity but it is revealing. #Áras25 #LastRefuge #PresidentialElection @catherinegalway.bsky.social
There is no room for dissent in the mean spirited MM or HH concept of Europe.
They are the true ‘anti-Europeans’ in that sense. We progress by constructive disagreement. We stagnate by conformism. Ireland has a voice. It’s not as big as the US or Germany certainly, but it can be used to good effect - not simply as a tame inactive parrot of the big States. 🦜 #Áras25
As @catherinegalway.bsky.social says in the first short clip here, HH is now all about the politics of fear and smear, to avoid substantive debate on issues. #Áras25 #SmearTheBejaysis www.rte.ie/news/2025/10...
