Blindboy's guide to the General Election

If Joan Burton appears on your doorstep during the General Election campaign in the coming weeks, what will you ask her? Well, if the Labour Leader visits Blindboy Boatclub of the Rubberbandits then she won’t be asked about the economy or the alleged recovery. Nope, she’ll be asked her views on galvanized Tulips and mulching.

Blindboy joined Anton on Monday for a run through of some the election issues facing him and his generation, and to look at how the election is unfolding beyond the pale.

He and Anton touched on the economic recovery, the shadow of Maggie Thatcher, taxing the rich, the EU debt burden that Ireland stumped up, the Westmeath-Roscommon land grab, election posters, ferrets, a man who looks like a bowl of porridge with a belly button, 17th century Libertines, and how Willie O’Dea’s moustache was a trail-blazing fashion. Emphasising his love for Willie was not a political thing, Blindboy praised Willie, saying he is an old school master of Parish Pump politics, is good for communities and, on Wednesdays, a druid.
