  • joan your Threatening of people on social welfare will get you know were.be gone quick, its time for you to go it really is, why wont you come back on the vincent browne show joan? a little scared are we? you really are Pathetic person

  • I hate Joan Burton. So fucking ignorant. And ugly.

  • Sht yir feeiss, Joan!

  • Left wing politics in this country is quite atrocious. So immersed in Civil War politics have we been that the strongest "left-wing" party that we have is Labour. And as they have proved time and again they are essentially a centrist party, slightly to the left of FG/FF. But what's the alternative? The trotskyist Socialist party and the Sinners. I like the sound of the PBP Alliance but why should they be any better?

  • labour party socialists ? my ass , burton and co play the working class card all the time to get into power . connolly and larkin would have notin to do with this shower of power hungry parasites . working class people take note.

  • I rather have a democratic Marxist like Joe Higgans, then that right-wing capitalist; Joan Burton, who turned Labour into neoliberalism. Look at here talking about how she is a good ''social democrat'' and that free thinking is not allowed in the Socialist Party. What a bitch, it was Labour who did not tolerate the Militant Tendency. She worked with the right-wing of the party to expel all revolutionary socialists from Labour. So she is the one who is not tolerant.

  • Labour Party voters!

    You have been betrayed again and again. Your Labour Party is a fully right-wing party with no social democratic idealism left. The Socialist Party is a genuine party for workers people and the poor. Now Labour and Fine Gael will rule and put huge cuts in motion on orders of the IMF and the EU. Thank you Labour voters for your right-wing vote!

  • labour and fine gael lied.

  • she did lie

  • is she 4real : lets have a decent conversation that will help people in Ireland ... Ireland is beyond help because of fianna fail, labour and fina gail maybe if her and her party would make right decisions the country wouldnt be on their arse..

  • i like joe. he really does fight for the working man and woman

  • ha-rang

  • minister for yachting: do you want to have farmers with the big single farm payments to go boating with you?

  • this man is a great man...he went to jail for his people and then ye voted him out(in the good old days when bertie said we were all doing great)

  • Mario rosenstocks version of her is hilarious :)

  • I'm with CollossalCollapse - endabrady100 - you are a twat

  • Comment removed

  • Higgins was correct after all!! Labour DID sign up to the EU bailout deal...and are continuing it while trying to blame it on Fianna Fail still!! They're the ones in power and could change things if they wanted to.

  • cant listen to that bitch, ugly bitch at that

  • She reminds of some of the female teachers i had in secondary school. And it sounds like she had a few before she came on air or does she have a speech impediment im unaware of?Since Labour got in bed with Fianna Gail i have lost any shred of respect i had for them.even if they had got the majority in the coalition i would still hold the same view.The mainstream left have always been soft in this country due to the bashing and brainwashing of the Catholic Church over the last 15 centuries.

  • Fuck off Joe Higgins you lying cunt

    

  • @endabrady100 you are one sad cunt

  • Tbf Joan and Joe have a history when Joe was in the Labout party in the 80's (in M.T. to be exact).

    No excuse for acting like a tit though.

  • Comment removed

  • magic bullet? does she mean button

  • evil bitch

  • Joan Burton is a hero, she was the voice of reason against the Ireland's foolish guarantee of private loans FOOLISH GUARANTEE!

  • @mistax2k If that is true, why are Labour continuing the terrible decisions made by Fianna Fail then???? They're useless.

  • @bacabu30 because they are stuck. Economic and political decisions are relatively easy to make but difficult to repair. Have you ever tried putting toothpaste back into the tube? The best way forward in an uncertain world is to measure twice and cut once. Wisdom to foresee consequences is rare.

  • she looks just like she talks,ROTTEN!

  • Christ, She made a right fool of herself in that debate. In the last minute of that she acted like a total child. Good men joe and vincent!

  • wagon

  • That bitchfuck's solution to unemployment is emigration.

  • this is the way politicians should be treated

  • all i can hear is her fking squeeky cunt of a voice

  • they opposed fk all labor can suck my cock

  • i want to hrang the bitch

  • Gawd she's fricking horrible and she gives me a terrible compulsion to punch her in the face. Bags like this get into politics so that they can get back at the rest of us for the fact that nobody wanted to take them to their debs.

    More attractive politicians, please. those people have options.

  • what an ugly, angry , sly piece of dogshit she is.

  • fuck off u old fucking bitch...oh my god shes the most irritating person ive ever seen

  • higgins talks a lot of sense, but he talllkkkkssss... sooooo.... sloooowwwllyyy.

  • Thank you all for affirming my opinion that Joan Burton is an imbecile, and how she is in a government is laughable, she is a parrot who chimes off her script and never engages in a conversation or gives a proper response, I have talked to the woman on numerous occasions and on each she has come across as a shallow person with no core whose only ambition is to further her "career". Thank you

  • The Irish Association of Pensions Funds has stated that the pension charges are a precursor for the government putting a levy on deposits. The question is do you think the government has the effrontery to take money from the citizens’ deposits in their banks? If you think it is possible that the government will place a levy on your bank deposits, as I do, I would urge you to take your money from your banks before the government takes a portion from you.

  • Joan,

    you are a plonker.

  • joe talks....so...very....uh....sl­owly.

  • i voted fianna fail glad i did call me an arsehole all u like i dont care.

  • @ThePaag1 I completely agree..

  • @ThePaag1 arsehole

  • @ThePaag1 you are a arsehole for voting poverty

  • is she drunk? ,shut up joan !ya silly cow,

  • what a gowel

  • Hahaha I loved the latest moan burton nob nation! Totally deserved the rant.

  • To think I used to respect Joan Burton... what a condescending, rambling old bint.

  • "do we call you your MEPship.... deputy, deputy you used to be called joe"

  • She gets money for this?

  • Shut the fuck up!

  • Give 'em HELL Joan!!! :)

  • joan is AMAZING

  • and yet they still vote her in ... what is wrong with people??

  • Welcome back Joe! Hope you hunt down the soon-to-be FG lapdogs.

    'Labour' Party my hole

  • IMF No Contact All Rights Reserved. Simple, it is not our debt.

  • Honestly, I don't mind Joan most of the time (and I'm a big admirer of Joe), but she was disgusting here. Nasty, petulant and undignified. If only she behaved so shittily to FF but, no, she tries to looks Stateswoman-like when debating them. Does she think the little guy (i.e. Joe) is beneath her and not worthy of simple respect? She lost my vote in fact because of this. She might not need it, but it should give anyone pause for thought - losing votes due to bad manners is no laughing matter.

  • Ali vs Foreman had nothing on these two.

  • funny if he punched her. VINCENT BROWNE IS A PHYSCO

  • Joe is the man! a proper politician who tells it like it is, would have given him a vote if he was in my constituency

  • @MrSkeff What a dullard. He speaks in platitudes. Actually he's like a priest here. Saying nothing in substance, speaking in generalities... oh, it was immoral to bail out the bankers, yeah and motherhood and apple pie are good things too.... wake me up when he's finished.

  • @conjoly he isnt given a chance here because joan is just being ignorant. I think Joe has a fair bit to bring to the table over the next few years in opposition, although i think the new government will be successful in achieving certain targets on their agenda

  • this is why women shouldn't be allowed in polotics haha

  • They are like a bunch of 4 year olds fighting

  • Joan, Joan, Jo-JOAN!

    Shh.

  • Would I ever kill children to get my own way? No. I'm quite sure of that. When it comes down to it, some things are fundamentally right and wrong, regardless of your idealogy. Sinn Fein and IRA lost their moral authority when they took human life. They set nationalism back decades and it took decades to get someway out of the mess they created.

  • Joan burton is a horrible bag of shit

  • @crashball30 Typical Cork Culchie Fianna Fáil bum boy 

  • vote ULA

  • Joe looks like he's on puppet strings, and as for Joan.....she's the sort of hoor you'd expect to find behind the door of a Gingerbread house, Snarky ould witch!

  • Vincent Browne is absolutely brilliant!!!this is so fucking funny!!!!

  • Tap into the Chinese tourist market, they will want to come and visit Ireland not because it is multicultural, but because it is a unique European celtic Irish nation populated by Irish people.

    They will not want to see the same thing in every European and Western country, why go to Ireland when they can see the same in France, etc.

    Keep Ireland Irish and populated by Irish. End outdated multiculturalism and immigration.

  • poor awld joe, getting a bashing in both ears.

  • If any of you really want to see change vote Sinn Fein.

  • @jcnba28 really? Sinn Fein are the only choice for change? Out of respect for the children who were murdered in Omagh and Warrington, and out of respect to REAL patriots who never resorted to maiming and murder, I'll be ensuring that my ballot sheet is fully filled in without any chance of my vote going near them. Anyone with any pride in Ireland will shun the shinners.

  • @zozimus Would you ever stop looking in the rear view mirror. Yes Gerry Adams was involved in some unfortunate events but they were in a civil war for christ's sake! Are you telling me you wouldn't defend you firends and family if you were in a civil war?? Where were ff and fg?? Tehy wouldn't help becasue they are all a bunch of pussies.

  • Is this troll drunk.! i was going to vote labour but now after watching this,,,they can get lost......

  • left wing block in the next parliament ? Labour ,socialists,Sinn Fein,people before profit alliance and left wing independents ? Discuss...

  • @irelandbacktoirish Labour are not left, Pat Rabbitte on the week in politics with Richard Boyd Barrett said himself that Labours policies are far closer to Fine Gael's than the likes of The United Left. When asked by Boyd Barrett how can Labour call themselfs a left party if they are closer to Fine Gael than anyother, to which Rabbitte just stayed silent.

  • look like joe was doing a bit of tai chi at one point

  • Look at the disastrous effects of multiculturalism in Britain and Europe. Look at the violence, homelessness, pushing indigenous European people into 2nd class citizenship, denying them their identity, denying them their rights and the birthright entitlement of their land for them.

    END EU MULTICULTURALISM AND IMMIGRATION POLICIES- IT SERVES THE RICH

  • joan burton what a dosey cunt. go joe go

  • Vincent Brown......jesus you would swear he was 10, grow up old man, miriam o callaghan is far more professional and looks a hell of a lot better too.

  • I think there is a bit of history between Joe and Joan - he clearly knows how to get under her skin! In fairness to her, she was the only Dail politician who raised the question about the Unicredit Bank risk manager who resigned over dodgy practices the bank was undertaking. (Google for whistleblowerirl )

    No other politician in the Dail raised this huge issue (Brian Lenihan of course dodged the question as usual) - you have to give her credit for that.

  • I was thinking about voting labour, however with a real chance of joan getting a minister like health of finance is too scary.

    She talks a lot but she says nothing

  • I was thinking about voting labour, however with a real chance of joan getting a minister like health of finance is too scary

  • i'd just like tosay joan has a rockin' pair of tits

  • she's a smack head

  • I'll never ever vote for Labour with someone like Joan Burton representing them. She's a nasty person.

  • James Connolly would turn in his grave to see such people in the Labour Party infact he would turn in his grave to see what the Labour Party have now become.

  • Go on Vincent Browne ya legend!!...Browne for Taoiseach!!

  • When you go to the voting station and vote for your local labour candidate you are voting for that,thing as minister of finance!

  • nasty nasty woman labour need to cut her loose,was thinking of voteing labour

    not now. now who can i vote for?

  • @MGU001 United Left Alliance?

  • I had a knock on my door last nite from the local labour TD and i said i was gona vote for labour but when i seen joan on this show i changed my mind. She is a nasty little woman. If labour have any hope of getting into power they need to dump her asap.

  • oh god shes some aul cunt. Vincent tho : some man for one man!

  • One word: Period.

  • This is why I believe women should not be allowed in politics....Think Margaret Thatcher , Mary Harney,Mary O Rourke,Sarah Palin,and now Joan Burton..All of them useless mouthpieces without an iota of manners and common sense. They have destroyed any positions that they got into

  • Comment removed

  • i think she had to complain about vincent and hope to keep the headlines away from the fact that she is obviously after consuming something a bit stronger than water before the show! this is much worse than cowan in galway.

  • Rude lady if you could give her that title(Lady) she must have been on the wine, lost the run of herself big time Joan learn some manners, your no role model for women in politics

  • shes full of drink . assholes elected by assholes.

  • joan is the most intelligent female td on the economy, a pity she left herself down, but she wasnt as drunk as cowen. s.he must never drink on the job again

  • Christ almighty and to think she will be elected td as part of a coalition with fg, and have a say over where my money goes, that scares me. And At this rate, presuming the bailout does not cause Ireland to default, which it almost certainly will, and that the interest rate is kept at around 5.8 percent, which it wont, each citizen will be indebted with over 20,000 euro (on top of mortgage, fees, taxes, bills, the kids etc). 80+ billion euro and 4 million citizens, do the math yourselves.

    A

  • WTF indeed. I have thought up to recently that Joan Burton had done an excellent job as an opposition Finance spokesperson. But this is car crash behaviour by her. And I think its a low blow today for her to try and justify her behaviour by waving the sexist card at Vincent Browne. Joan Burton could not hide a base dislike of Joe Higgins. Is it reverse sexism for a woman to bully blokes and then try make them seem to be the agressor...

  • @16airassualt You're a bigger idiot than she is!!

  • This is funbelievable and although I laughed, she needs to be removed immediately.

    Apparently she was Joeing for a Burton.

  • WTFs going in . And who cares if he used to be called Joe ? When need a new government and we need to get rid of the euro . I'm 17 and I know that , and we have this woman here talking about wat to call him ? They need to be able talk to each other and all be one party theres no I in team ;)

  • She called him a sexist , in the sunday papers. Vincent should sue. He didnt make one sexist remark. The Burton is just reverting to the sexist card cos she got strips torn off her.

  • Irelands answer to Thatcher

  • This is so fuckin depressing.

  • Sweet Jeasis !!!!!!.......was reading Gene Kerrigans article in the indo this morning in which he makes reference to this clip and had to look it up. If this is the quality of political debate in Ireland.....the country is going to go rapidly into the sewars. This woman is an embarressment.....surely the Labour party have better spokes people than her,

  • @16airassualt Ha ha. First Gray and Keys, now this! I should ring New Scientist and tell them I've found the final piece to the Missing Link. Evolution FTW!

  • Vincent Browne was just as childish as Joan Burton was. It is quite obvious he is biased against Joan Burton. Fair play to Joe Higgins for keeping his cool

  • I really rolled my eyes at Joan making a snide comment about the Socialist Party not allowing 'independent thinking' people, this from a right-wing Labour party member who supported the brutal witch hunt and percution of socialists in the Labour Party, expelling and driving them out in the manner of a vile Stalinist purge. I don't live in Irland but if I did I'd be voting for Joe and the United Left Allience.

  • @red1917trot GOOD MAN- I CAMPAIGNED AND CANVASSED FOR THE UNITED LEFT ALLIANCE AND WE GOT FIVE TDs ELECTED AND WE WILL HAVE A REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY-SWP MEMBER

  • @red1917trot shut up you ultra left pig!

  • @red1917trot shut up you ultra left pig! and its spelt Ireland... stay out of my country's politics

  • @wicklowmania It is not your country it is OUR country you right wing arsehole.

  • If ever I seen a reason for all this party political bullshit to stop this is it.Now who was Joan talking for there .Herself and no one else .Its about time there was a change, and let this video become a part to play in its downfall.

  • people like joan are bringing the pary down

  • @fridgeitems5

    Joan does not represent Labour, as a member of Labour living in Blanchardstown I shall be voting for Joe.

  • why the socialist party has not expanded and tried to run for government at this stage is beyond me ,we have all lost hope in the 3 main parties ,forget about the green party because they are finished and the media has made sinn fein look like a ragtag brigade of dreamers which they are not . people are turning to parties like the socialist party because they represent the ordinary people and speak up for the country ,something the current politicians dont do .give these guys a chance FGS !

  • Joan Burton is rude, arrogant, and condescending, she will be a leading Minister in the next government......god help us. I don't agree with Joe Higgin's policies but I do admire him for speaking up and standing up to Barroso and asking a valid atrue question/statement which Barroso did not answer, of course Barroso and co are in the pocket of the European Banks.

  • @TheDebrun i don't think she will be a leading minister.

  • @stevesteve55 Agreed! I meant she will be given a senior portfolio. FG/LAB will get their chance now, as FF have completely wrecked what we had, however Michael Martin now has a golden opportunity to rebuild the party with young people and boot out the incompetent incumbents as it can't get any worse for them, but will he do it?

  • Joan Burton is rude, arrogant, and condescending, she will be a leading Minister in the next government......god help us

  • God, is it always inexcusable to punch a woman. Cause I've never been tempted like this. What an smug, ignorant, intolerable woman

  • Ha ha. Ooops. On tv3 is it? Ah well I'm sure their booze is much better.

  • What party is the socialist party thanks :)

  • This should be compulsory viewing for children ,on how not to interact as an adult.

  • Decent debate? If you want a decent debate, Joan, shut your gob. She acted like an absolute child. Reminded me of Joe McCarthy verbally bullying and talking over his so called Communist suspects.

  • Joan was on beer big time, what a shambles

  • just goes to show what a pack of loopers the Labour party really is

  • Joan is still ride all the same............:-)

  • Joan you stupid stupid woman. You finally are on the verge of getting what you wanted, and you behave like this?

  • And this is after the tiniest amount of hassle. What will she be like in government when the hassle is multiplied by a million????

  • i love vincent in this !! he just cant believe the behaviour of that hag!!

  • Pissed as a fart alright.

    Anyone has ever been in RTE (even in the audience) knows that the free wine they give out is BRUTAL!!!

    I still drank it though :-)

  • @BurmaShade

    What are you talking about? Tonight with Vincent Browne is a show on TV3, not RTE.

  • @BurmaShade I've never seen anyone piss a fart, though it seem s she was stuck'n'fartin with J& V .

  • Never thought i'd say this...but I think sunn féin should get in to be honest... Good policies and the eight mindset this year..

  • Off her fuckin head. Pished as a fanny fart.

  • the rest of the party's are useless if labour and fg get in its time to abandon ship that's if they don't f**k things up before the election the imf wont lend us money and then no welfare no pension and so on.

  • that guy joe is a thick itinerant and joan is just as bad im voting finna fail again now that mick martin is in charge he will whip things into shape

  • @erraticjack Itinerant? More choice language. Mick Martin has been a member of the cabinet for the past 13 and a half years -- including from 2004-2008 in charge of employment, enterprise and trade. He had plenty of time to whip things into shape.

  • only middle aged women like burton including my ma, hate the women! we need new young fresh politicians...like me

  • Comment removed

  • Never liked her. But she knows her stuff, and here she's taking on two of the biggest windbags on the Irish political scene -- Browne and Higgins, both of whom are in love with the sounds of their own voices. Yes, she probably had a glass or two of wine, TV lights make someone drunker in such circumstances. She was rude to the others, but not quite as rude as some, even a majority of the commenters here. A lot of hateful, violent anti-woman rhetoric that should have no place in politics.

  • @WilliamsbBridge

    Not anti-woman. Just anti-gobshite.

  • vincent brown is a nazi

  • I hate Joan Burton. And now she's cocky on top of everything else.

  • I hate Joan Burton.

  • I would never get tired kicking that cunt.

  • oh Joan.. no,no,no.

  • She did not do her rep any good after this performance. This is the best our country can produce??? What hope do we have when we just squabble and fight, without a single credible point being made.

  • She's a Dope!!! God help us if this is what we've got for our political future she reminds me of Palin, but unfortunately not as hot.

  • I can taste sick everytime I hear her speak.
