So it’s being pushed by the Yes Side – I’ve no idea when the interview was filmed but you get the picture (well the picture the Chairman wanted and the Yes side hope you see!) Assume that someone will be along shortly to say when the filming took place.
Scoop?

Ahhahahahah… Hahahahaha!! Hahahahaha!! Hahahahaha!!
I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t control myself. Yes of course you ‘love Europe’ Declan, and you have no connections whatsoever to US interest groups who don’t want a strong EU…
Great, great, great video Susie, thanks for sharing!
Just shows you what a farce the whole thing is. National flags are just a cosmetic distraction to make people feel like they belong to one thing as opposed to another. They have no real meaning in today’s global economy.
Class. Ganley’s position is enough reason in itself to push for a yes vote. Anybody dumb enough to vote no is voting alongside the far right and looniest elements of the loony left, not to mention our friends in SF.
You can run, but you can’t hide… you betcha!
It’s fairly old footage, I remember seeing it during Lisbon I.
A hugely important video, because politicians never make changes to their appearance and surroundings to enhance or change the conversation. Is there a rolleyes smiley? :rolleyes:

The interview was filmed by German TV a month or two before Lisbon 1…you’ll find it in its original non-you tube form on http://www.ganleydeclan,blogspot.com.
Declan was most upset about the covert camera work and there is a fascinating subsequent story which sounds a bit too barmy for public consumption.
If (it has to be yes)
If you can keep your head after protest voting Higgins;
And watch delusion dance a mandate jig.
If you despair opportunism spawned through misery;
And gaze at ineptness, powerless to act.
If amateur dramatics at O’Donoghue’s expenses disgust
you;
As soft reactions cloak a dread of reflecting light,
Apology, an escape for all.
If you’re befuddled by this Lisbon thing;
And dream a third option, perhaps of “maybe?.
But not make dreams your master, as you’ll need to
vote.
If you feel bullied by some egotistical economists;
And sick as tax exiles, incompetents and hypocrites dictate.
If you can bear to hear the truths of life,
Twisted by ruthless CEOs and
unelectable know-alls;
And be suspicious, as to why they care at all.
If you vote “yes? because of fear;
And not at the behest of those you cannot stand,
Nor because of others you disregard, demanding “no?;
And treat those two impostors just the same.
If terror stalks you at your country’s possible
isolation;
With them as leaders and policy makers;
Europe’s protection far distance.
Then fear be not you master, but your saviour.
If you can force your heart, and nerve, and sinew;
To vote “yes? in spite of their promoting it.
If your vote “yes? be the majority decision;
Know that should they gloat in Higginesque manner;
Their gloating would be phony and short lived.
Your legacy will out long after they’re forgotten.
Yours is this country, and everything that’s in it
And — which is more — You’ll be a Patriot, its child.
