  1. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

    Poor dealz bargain bin cocksuckerberg.

  2. “The events entrepreneur has also rejected claims he was motivated by vendettas against a number of people, including Tánaiste Leo Varadkar.”

    His twitter activity would suggest otherwise lol

  3. Were his tweet where he *checks notes* bullies people also done to damage him?

    Because that’s an odd thing to do yourself

  4. Having known many a person who worked in the WebSummit when it first got going, I could never shake the whole techbro vibe they exuded.

    They could never articulate what they did for work and the whole thing seemed like scam whereby other techbros were paying extortionate amounts to come here and network.

    Everyone knows someone like Paddy, someone who was successful in one field and thought this translated to an polymath expertise in everything else.

    The entitlement he felt that the Irish Government owed him a myriad of concessions for people to come here struck a nerve with anyone who had to deal with his type before.

    Remember when he became a health expert talking about nursing deaths at the advent of COVID?

    This, coupled with Paddy’s arrogance has made him a lightning rod for negative attention.

    I feel if he ever got into politics he’d have a Dominic Cummingsesque aura of believing he is incredibly smart whilst also being incredibly self serving although that is pure unfounded speculation on my part.

    At least I learned the definition of leptokurtic thanks to his antics.

  5. You damaged yourself Paddy when you lied about nurses dying.

    And did more damaged when you doubled down and suggested that HSE and the union were being deceitful when they corrected you.

  6. Is it me, or does every anti-establishment person in Ireland go crazy.

    Of course, I know, the obvious answer is that being crazy makes you more likely to be anti-establishment.

    But surely it’s possible to think a two party state as represented by FF/FG is only one step up from a single party state and more churn is needed… without necessarily believing Michael Martin and Leo Varadkar are Thatcher and Satan’s illegitimate love children?
