Libertas founder Declan Ganley when asked if Lech Walesa was paid a fee for addressing the party's meeting in Rome commented, "Gentlemen do not talk about money to other gentlemen".
Anyone who has seen Mr Ganley's palatial home in Ireland must be inclined to ask the 'gentleman' how can one amass such wealth in such a short time.
Are 'non-gentlemen' allowed talk about money to 'gentlemen'?
Mr Ganley seems to have made much of his fortune in Russia in scrap metal immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Do scrap metal men talk to gentlemen about money?
His comments re 'honour' and 'gentlemen' must remind one of all the guff we hear from those who attempt to patronise and lord it over working people.
