Interview with Luke 'Ming' Flanagan - SpunOut.ie Academy of Activism

[BuddhaShiva1]

why the nickname "Ming"?

[shigllgetcha]

long hair, the anti conformist's uniform

[juggz79]

@shigllgetcha are YOU living in the 1940's?? will you (and other twits) stop commenting on his damn hair?? SO WHAT if he has long hair?...sheesh

[purplenonie]

@shigllgetcha 'the anti conformist's' uniform...you moron. That Jesus bloke had long hair and folks reckon his dad does too, are they anti conformists? BTW for a long time ming had no hair, are you saying that at some inbetween stage he was a conformist? What a stupid remark that has nothing to do with anything, you should withdraw it and shoot yourself in the face with a few pounds of your own waste.

[shigllgetcha]

@purplenonie how wasnt jesus anti conformist lol

[yokey0ma0bob]

@purplenonie dude i think hes kidding because they both have long hair, calm

[5147848amp]

@purplenonie

Jesus definitely WASN'T a conformist. He was one of THE reformers!

[jdig1984]

at least its warm in zimbabwe lol!

[fisiu08]

`hahahahaha its not Zimbabwe go on the ming! teach them all a bit of manners in the Dail!

[ImagesByDavid]

Saw the documentary on the candidates on RTE on Monday...he is a good guy..he should tone the cannabis rhetoric down though...we dont see other politicians talking about how they going to go home and have a pint of beer...

He will be great in the Dail and he will certainly stand up against the right winged parties.

[marflem12]

Wouldn't it be great if the whole country were represented by real people , and not by the suited class. That would be people power. One ounce of Ming is worth a tonne of suits.

[marflem12]

Ming - you ARE the man !

[johnnyfoxy]

When he mentioned Derval O'Rourke at 1:00 I was expecting him to say "I wouldn't say she's the most talented hurdler in the world but I tell ya.....she's got a fine pair of legs".

[ItsMeBeezillaRarrr]

This guy is a legend. If weed was legalised the economy would probably boom again, also the crime rate would drop cos people would trust legal weed over some dealer they dont know

[DarkShaDowHooD]

If he can get there smoking weed .the rest should smoke it.

[insejnas]

get a better camera

[thewhack64]

give him a few years and he'll be president.keep her lit.

[TOFB]

This guy is exactly what the country needs. Too bad there isn't more like him in the Dail.

[MrNiceHk]

Ok he has something about him, lets see how long he lasts before he is consumed by the machine

[KCFEEN]

What the f*ck is the drummer from the kings of leon doing interviewing ming ?? :)

[caoimhin18]

Voting people like ming and collins into Dail Eireann would amke Da Valera spin in his grave, representing Ireland spekaing about canabbis, what a joke

[keanecolecantona]

@caoimhin18 dont be so ignorant.

[caoimhin18]

@keanecolecantona Im not being ignorant !!!! This is Irish politics !!!!!! and we are voting in protesters?? Another one is Joan Collins,like come on !! she is a protester not a politician, I admit Ming has a gift of the gab yeah, but on his online time on RTE his issues are small local issues about the water pipe. Why do I want a government who is focusing on drugs and water pipe recovery in his home town. Independence arent given any talk time in the Dail for this issue, and will not change

[skylarking19]

@caoimhin18 It's people from Dev's irrelevant and now virtually defunct cute-hoor cabal who DIDN'T speak openly about cannabis who are at fault. The prohibition of cannabis alone (totally unjustifiable) is what emboldens criminals and lines their pockets, not the substance itself. Decriminalise and allow adults (about 7pct of the adult population) to grow their own, thereby destroying the market and limiting minors' access. It works in Portugal, Spain, Belgium and the Czech Republic. Go Ming!

[culabula92]

@skylarking19 DEV was king of local politics and cronyism in the constituency of clare. Bit hypocritical.

[Croga15]

@caoimhin18 sure wasn't I double dropping yokes with Éamon last week

[OCcrazy1]

he is a nut job

[dnb47]

1:29...... AND HE'S OFF!!! LUKE FLANAGAN TD I SALUTE YOU SIR!!

[jaysteinbourg]

Its not Zimbabwe, lol

[butchyrocky]

great man,look how far his work and dedication has got him now.and he will go further...

[dazpatreg]

'Sure tis yoor job to go ta funerals' Exactly what's wrong with the Irish political system!

[Urmotherrocks]

Ming Flanagan, an absolute Legend. I see him around town all the time!

[GalwayChick]

That nerd is hot
