Hoping this place might even partially live up to the hype of being like Irish Twitter c.2010 cos I loved that place. Dublin, politics, history, random interesting stuff, football, the world. I suppose I should say Labour Party member, for transparency.

Strongest condemnation from a local politician so far coming from Labour's Ged Nash - underlining how close we may have been to having several lives lost in Drogheda overnight as a result of this attack.

Was watching some old TOTP from 1998 and Iโ€™ve had the revelation that Farage and Reform and all the rest of the gammon think theyโ€™re in the Three Lions on a Shirt video but actually theyโ€™re in the Vindaloo video (which Iโ€™d quite forgotten existed).

And donโ€™t get me started on Bewitched.

New Oxfam data shows that the rich account for a huge proportion of total CO2 emissions, with 10% causing half of global warming. Their emissions are even rising. The high costs of the energy transition should also be paid for out of their assets. oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/ha...

What they donโ€™t say in articles lauding these schemes (of which there are obviously nowhere near enough for the couples/families looking for them) is that a single person has to be earning over about 45k NET to meet the rent criteria. What are single people earning average incomes supposed to do?

There is no way. You have created an inherently traumatising environment.

Taxing airline fuel would be a start. And banning SUVs.

They would make a fortune here. I honestly cannot understand why they donโ€™t.

So, if anything, the real problem that needs to be solved before #รras32 is that a person should have to pay their deposit before they are considered a potential nominee by radio and TV producers. A portion unrefundable if they don't get nominated.

Weed out the grifters!

Thereโ€™s a young member of aontu in the constituency i did tallies for in the elections last year. He firmly believes heโ€™s left wing but heโ€™s absolutely deranged, anti choice & racist. And the rest of the gang tallying with their candidate were SO RUDE too.

I cleaned up lots of cafes including their toilets in my youth! It certainly made me more conscious of cleaning up after myself in whatever situation I find myself.

My version of this is everyone should have to do a job for a year when theyโ€™re young where they have to clean up after other people in some way. I honestly think it would revolutionise society.

Recent Aras elections saw multiple candidates get through process via Oireachtas or local authority support - 1997 had 5 candidates, 2011 had 7 and 2018 had 6. There is no need to change the system because the 2025 motley crew were late to process, poor quality or not serious about running at all.

First joint meeting of all of the left will descend into a shouting match about tax. Which is a pretty critical issue if you want to run a country.

Vraiment? je nโ€™ai savais pas ca.

Leur appartenance ร  EPP est une des principales raisons pourquoi je les considรจre comme centre droit. Mais historiquement FF sont plus ร  droit dans la domaine sociale mais plus centristes que FG dans la domaine รฉconomique. 1/2
