Plenty of reasons to criticise Varadkar but this ain’t one.
Rory is undoubtedly writing faux outrage for his employer’s readership.
I lolled twice, sounds like he’s treating the occasion with the respect it deserves
Now back to castigating Leo for his litany of actual failings
Paul Costelloe is such a Royal creep.
Red faces in Ireland because there was a bit of sun.
This is the first time I have heard about this and I give zero fucks.
Don’t like Varadkar but this isn’t a scandal at all. His partner made some lame jokes when his phone was supposed to be turned off. Big whoop.
King Charles brother Prince Andrew was at that coronation and not behind bars. That should tell you everything you need to know about their rules. The crown is also covered in jewels they stole from other countries and refuse to give back. The entire thing is a joke and doesn’t deserve any respect
I’m not a fan of Leo, I’d even go as far as saying I hate the lad for what he has done, lack there of, to this country over the years. I’m less of a fan of Fine Gael. I’m even LESS of a fan of the monarchy and yet, here I am, not giving a single flying fuck about what whoever that person is has said on his own private social media account. Who cares. If the English Media got a hold of it, id even go as far as saying the Irish would defend him.
Media yet again proving how out of touch they are with the public
The new shared island where you are forbidden to laugh at the absurdity of the British establishment and its laughable antics.
Apparently you can criticize those who mock it but not the thing itself.
Just sounds like a bitta banter, and I say that as a Northern Unionist.
They were ragin’ that Provo Joe declined to appear. If they are getting bent out of shape over a few tame quips posted, by the partner of a political leader of another Republic, to his own private social media group then they might have dodged a bullet (or proverbial truck bomb) with the potential that was the Joe Show here.
I have no issue with whatsoever, gave the appropriate amount of respect to the occasion. Also, I lolled at a couple of those. Were they both high? Leo was sniffing stuff on his way in maybe matt was dabbling too.
I’d wager at least 1/3 of people picked their nose that day.
I haste to disagree guys with what your having to say. I’m no fan of the British the royals or the terrible history between us the Irish and our nearest neighbours however these people were there to represent us the Irish people and if they could not control or if there plus one was just to I’ll mannered that he taught it was ok to let us all down with his bad manners then as far as I’m concerned we could have sent any ould tramp to do that. Shame on Leo and his Plus one. How dare you let us down like this. I think it’s time Leo Varadkar steps down, that is if he has any sense of self respect left. As for Paul Costello at least he knows how to behave and didn’t let his Country down. Shame on them.
Charlie Flanagan’s boiling over right now
LOL – no nobody here gives a flying fuck. I think more ppl might have seen Leo picking his nose than these tweets
Couldn’t give a thundering phuk about those cnuts in Buckingham palace but if you attend these things as the leader (god save us) of your country (or the partner) then you adhere to protocol. There is a diplomatic and political aspect to all this and that needs to be respected. I still hate Martin Johnson for his behaviour at croke park and he’s a sportsman (not equating but the point being that you need to respect the sensibilities- especially if you are the frocking leader of a government.). And get some saline solution Leo you unirrigated septum’d tool.
An elderly man dressed in animal skins and exotic fur, draped in gold and diamonds with two solid gold batons and a big gold orb, is proclaimed head of a religion with a direct line to god and ruler of an empire, and yer mans stupid lame jokes are criticised.
I am a real hardcore hater of Leo, but this is such a non story and feels like the Brits are upset that someone had the neck to not want to go along with their coronation. An instagram post by Leos fella having a laugh is not embarrassing people here. In fact, I doubt anyone here even gave it much thought when theres Wild Youth singing in camel toe suits for the red faces.
1. The President and Taoiseach shouldn’t have gone imo. The Americans don’t go similar reasons.
2. Leo ever the sycophant always looks so delighted to be anywhere.
3. His partner should know better than being crass. See point 2 above.
They’ll do anything to get back at us for Biden coming here.
Tbh the clerk of the closet quip is pretty funny.
Can’t see what the fuss is at all. I get plenty of people hate Leo but his fella makes some light hearted/mildly cringe instagram comments? So what.
*crowd murmuring*… “Fuckin hell!”
And to think the British sneer at the stuff the North Koreans believe about Jim Jong Un etc. This is infinitely more insane.
Hi, Brit here to just ask one thing:
>he posted a series of irreverent comments on Instagram to his private group of more than 350 followers.
Who grassed?
Bit of a shitty move to release messages from a private account to the media. He mustn’t know who his friends are. I’d get detective Coleen Rooney on the case
“Paul Costello, an Irish designer” he sells the most boring clothes ever made, in dunnes stores. He’s no more an Irish designer than Paul Galvin. Unfortunately this behaviour just makes me like Leo’s partner a little, at least one of those jokes gave me a little giggle.
This is a non-story. I was expecting some genuinely offensive jokes. Like, South Park level.
> The British now had material to say the Irish did not know how to behave in such circumstances, he said. “I just hope the English press don’t get hold of it.
Oh no, the Brits might think we don’t show respect to pointless pomp and ceremony! What a nightmare that would be.
What a fawning gobshite. Glad to see this self-deprecating attitude that we need to “look good” in front of the Brits is dying out. Britain looks like shit to the rest of the world most of the time, and it doesn’t seem to bother them.
If Britain is offended by what you’re doing, then you’re probably doing the right thing,
Which partner?
Let’s remind ourselves.. this is Paul Costello, the 77 year old ‘enfant terrible’ of Irish fashion who said that irish women are “only a couple of generations out of the bog. . . wouldn’t know style if it tottered up to them in 10-inch heels”. Anthing for attention.
He should stick to designing beige linen smocks for Dunne’s stores.
I’m no fan of Leo, but this is a complete non-story. If there are red faces in Ireland, its from laughing. Maybe at the quips, or maybe at the ludricous spectacle of the event itself and the vulgarity of all that it represents.
Couldn’t give a flying fuck
Imagine what Varadkar and Co say about the Irish people behind closed doors

Some commentators said Varadkar, who caused a flap in March by [joking ](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/17/leo-varadkar-apologises-for-apparent-clinton-lewinsky-joke)about Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky, had not added to the Irish delegation’s dignity by being filmed picking his nose.
Bit of a reach.
Nobody gives a shit.
