Smarmy James, Ivana’s scarf and the odd bicycle

Before the arrival of Photoshop

and social media is was generally accepted that a picture was worth a thousand words. It’s probably not  so any longer.

There is an election in Dublin Bay South on Thursday July 8.

The posters are appearing all

over the constituency, which covers a wide spectrum of Irish society.

Labour Party Ivana Bacik’s poster would make one ask some questions.

Wearing a scarf in July? And then there is the bicycle.

No chain, no brakes. Ivana with a scarf around her neck and no mudguards on the bicycle. And then there’s the basket.

Does Fine Gael’s candidate James Geoghegan look a little too smarmy for the casual voter passing the lamppost?

More anon on what’s adorning our lampposts right now.
