    I said a fair chance. As in two people of equal ability going for the same role - do they have a 50% chance of getting a job? No, they don't. It's dramatically lower I would say. If they want to be tax paying, respected members of society they have to do much more than the vast majority of the country.

    And there is a reason why the vast majority of bar owners wouldn't employ a traveller, because of past experiences with travellers, it's a viscous cycle, and one that travellers have no interest in getting off. I think most people, if they saw a traveller, or anyone, trying to better themselves, they would give them a chance. Travellers don't seem interested in helping themselves, and why would they? Never have to work a day in their lives, above the law, every social welfare support they could ask for.

    Anyway, back to John Conors, I liked him in love hate, thought he was shocking bad in cardboard gangsters, and think like a lot of Z list celebs he should stay off Twitter, before he started telling us what he really thought I thought he was one of the travellers I mentioned above that wanted to better himself and help break the cycle.

    Blames the state and society (you the taxpayer) at every opportunity

    Admits he left school early for no other good reason than peer pressure

    Brilliant?! Not a chance. It's got a wafer thin plot and sub par actors. It's alright I suppose but brilliant?! No way. It's very by the numbers.


    I think it seemed like a look at the type of choices young people face in certain areas.
    Sometimes the point of a film isn't to tell a good story, but to tell a real one.
    It felt like a real story to me.
    (Don't confuse real with true, please)

    He is not a bit of a wanker, he is, imo a monumental wanker.

    His King Lear was not so well received.

    Theyre currently casting for a Juliet for his Romeo
    Louise O'Neill is tipped to get the nod.

    There is a thing called context. You don't get it. Like a 4 year old. This is my problem with threads like this.

    After Hours used to be decent a decade ago but now it's crawling with the spud version of the worst type of irish Daily Mail commenter.

    John Connors is a pretty self pitying sad case chacater.

    Makes acting career based on his niche of being a traveller indeed plays many travellers (love/hate)

    yet whinges incessantly on being judged as a traveller.


    ugh.

    He’s a massive wanker with a massive chip on his shoulder.

    He’s a typical traveller who thinks he and his ilk are victimised by the rest of the country.

    He makes a living by portraying travellers in movies and tv shows. Every character he plays is a scumbag who adds nothing to society. Hmmmm....

    I believe the theatre lovies call it playing to type:D

    Connors is a wankbag, plain and simple. He's not even much of an actor, in fact I'd go so far as to say he's fairly shíte.

    This is hilarious:

    Shocked Traveller actor John Connors, 28, says he’s being hit by ‘tsunami of racism’ and is now online hate target after announcing his support for Eighth Amendment

    Like many a darling of the left before him, John has discovered that, when they turn on you, they turn on you bad.

    Imagine the head scratching and twitter discussions that must have gone on in "liberal" circles when he "came out" as to whether they should attack him, or put it down to his culture, before they finally decided to go Full Nazi on him. God I love liberals :D

    Very insensitive of John Connors to use a term where almost 300k people died in South East Asia to describe some online abuse.

    Shame on you, JC, shame on you.

    Indeed. The self-labelled 'liberals' are only liberal and tolerant when your view aligns with theirs...
