Michael Collins zielt auf „Ming“ Flanagan und schießt sich selbst in den Fuß

>And as for Ming, he “failed to turn up today to vote for the people, despite all the aul social media nonsense he has every day of the week telling us what he is doing for the people”.

>He called them all “traitors”, later withdrawing the charge when challenged by the Ceann Comhairle.

>Caterwauling Collins was followed by Aontú’s Paul Lawless, who backed him up. “I am just off a plane from Strasbourg,” was the Mayo TD’s dramatic opener.

>The Mercosur vote happened at midday. If Deputy Lawless noticed Ming’s absence, he clearly didn’t ask why he was missing. Neither, one assumes, did Ming’s fellow MEP for Ireland Midlands North-West, Ciaran Mullooly.

>Independent Ireland had a video clip of their leader’s potshot at the MEPs up online in jigtime.

>Deputy Collins seems very familiar with MEP Flanagan’s online output – that “aul social media nonsense he has every day of the week”. Strange, so, that he missed his tweet sent hours before the vote on Wednesday morning.

>“Torture not to be in Strasbourg for a vote to send the proposed #MERCOSUR agreement to the ECJ. Got to listen to my doctor though.”

>As a long time campaigner against Mercosur, Ming’s absence was noted by observers. Reports after the vote noted he was absent due to medical reasons.

Collins is such an unbelievably unpleasant person. What you might call a „stupid bollocks“.

This is how he treats people in public…

Aim for the Ming, you better not miss
