Given Mr. Bowes and Mr. Martin are trending, there's a little-known story involving both of them that people may find interesting.
Possibly revealing into the character of both individuals.
Anyway sure if you've nothing better to read 😂... /1
These days Mr. Bowes is affiliated with the Russian State, well according to Twitter's labeling system.
Obviously Mr. Martin works for Irish people, whether they think he's doing a good job of that is another matter 😂
Still, working for Ireland unlike this other genius.
If you rewind a number of years, Mr. Bowes was a self-styled Irish patriot and entrepreneur.
Together with 2 others, came up with a business idea.
1916 Freedom Tours, which can be described as similar to VikingSplash but with Chay giving a history lesson and no splash/fun.
One of the more flattering reviews read:
"Once you don't mind being the laughing stock of pointing passers-by and absolutely baffled cyclists, this is 100% the tour for you.
If for nothing else, go for the craic of driving around town in a military-style truck"
Sounded fun 😂
Of course these days the 1916Tour account is suspended on Twitter for breaking their rules, shocker.
When it wasn't suspended it was one of many accounts Chay had on Twitter, I'll get to that.
There was particular emphasis that the tour was non-political.
Chay's Tour wasn't proving the hit he hoped, even after popping up all over the media with plugs for the business.
'Rave reviews' is not a sentence you could associate with this escapade 😂
Despite again pledging to make it "non-political" he decided something had to be done.
Ignore the bad reviews. Chay, focus.
Got it! A political endorsement on the website, that should do the trick 💡
Who to ask? Politicians can be hard to reach and get many requests 🤔
Who'd be kind enough to go out of their way to put their name to a start-up business?
Yeah.
A proud Irish man, Micheál Martin, who may or may not be good at politics depending on your view.
Still went out of his way to help a start-up Irish business with an endorsement.
Chay more than happy to use Micheál's name, when it was in his best interests to do so.
Weasel.
Not just Micheál, other members of FF & FG too.
For a while it was all "good job, Stephen", "you're the man, Stephen!", "sun shines out of your arse, Stephen!"
When it was in Mr. Chay's best interests to do so, pursuing his latest harebrained entrepreneurial idea in healthcare.
It's interesting who Chay's father used to tag on social media when talking to his son.
1916Tour, fair enough, that was obviously his son.
What's very strange, is he also thought "Questinitall71" was his son.
What are the odds, this must be a 1-in-a-billion freak coincidence.
'The Ditch' legion of fans are piling on Micheál Martin today.
Mentioning 'The Ditch' in same sentence as Russia is an outrage, they say.
Conspicuously silent on the fact Chay himself chose to be introduced on Russia Today as "Director of Ditch Media".
Amazing.
If people don't like this current government, vote next election and give someone else a chance.
Can be done without hero-worshipping a lad with no principles whatsoever beyond "I ❤️Russia" and a willingness to walk all over people.
MM, whatever his faults, is "I 💚 Ireland"
