"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH": Fuel Crisis Coalition Gives Government 48-Hour Ultimatum as Nationwide Protests Loom
A broad coalition of professional drivers, hauliers, farmers, bus and taxi operators, and plant workers has issued a sharp ultimatum to the Government: deliver immediate action on fuel costs by Saturday or face nationwide protests as early as Tuesday.
The People of Ireland Against Fuel Prices, a group with 45,000 followers, has sent a letter detailing its demands to every TD, minister, and the Taoiseach. It warns that families, businesses, and key industries are reaching breaking point under soaring fuel taxes, carbon charges, and related costs.
In a strongly worded statement, organisers declared: “The moment of truth is almost here. They now have until Saturday to come back with meaningful answers and immediate action. If they fail to do so, we will have no option but to move to nationwide protest action.”
A final public meeting will take place on Saturday night in Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim. Following the gathering, if there is no serious response from Government, the group will release protest locations and an action plan across Ireland, with Tuesday emerging as the likely day for action.
The movement claims broad support from farmers, hauliers, fishermen, construction workers, recovery operators, small businesses, commuters, and families in every county. It also says it has backing from TDs across multiple parties who accept that “the people of this country have simply had enough.”
“We want to change the Fuel Taxes & Charges for Everyone In Ireland,” the group states. “This is no longer about one sector, this is about the survival of the people who keep Ireland moving.”
Organisers insist the country “cannot survive under the crushing weight of fuel costs, carbon tax, and endless charges any longer.” With the Saturday deadline looming, attention now turns to whether the Government will offer further concessions or risk widespread disruption on the roads next week.

The number of people who can’t understand why Enoch Burke is a bad look for the GC movement is mindblowing. The dude got fired and banned from the premises because he got nasty and aggressive with his boss, and he’s in jail because he keeps violating the no trespassing order. They’ve let him out on multiple occasions, and he just keeps going back to the school. He’s also been aggressive and rude in court, as has his family - which is why they, too, are in jail.
Enoch Burke is not someone we should be supporting. If he’d behaved this way for any other reason, no one would have any problem understanding why his behavior is unacceptable.

Katy thinks her soon-to-be fiancé Mason might be cheating after a visit to her jeweler raised some red flags. The jeweler told her Mason recently came in and bought multiple pieces of jewelry, all in separate bags.
The show calls Mason, to offer him a dozen free roses to any person of him choice, to see where he sends them, to try and catch him cheating.

Please don't tell me this is real.
How? This has got to be a scam?
People are actually donating money to help him and the comments are full of support. WTF.
Imagine if this was a single mum? She'd be ripped to shreds in the comments and branded a scrounger, a dirty slob, a leech on the system and worse with guaranteed death threats and threats of social services visits etc.
Doesn't matter how skint or depressed I've been, I'd never let my kitchen get in a state like that. It costs pennies to buy bleach, a bucket, and some scouring pads.
What the actual fuck.

@GeorgeAGreen @PompeySteph @MichelleDewbs And I can catagoricly tell you I wouldn't like you.
I don't like self absorbed entitled idiots who peddle nonsence and garbage.
A biogical man cannot now and will not ever be a woman no matter how hard he tries.

@PompeySteph @MichelleDewbs Not wanting trans women in women's spaces or sports doesn't fall into any of those categories.

Good morning, @MichelleDewbs,
I note you posted about me a couple of days ago - you are entitled to do so.
However, what is not acceptable is for you to twist the definition of transphobia completely.
Fortunately, Portsmouth City Council can help you out.

@grannies4equal Your wrong actually.
The vast majority of Irish people are sick of our taxes being wasted on foreigners.
Ukrainians or otherwise.
While we Irish struggle ourselves.

The vast majority of Irish people support Ukraine 100% and are glad to see the government expressing that support in diplomacy and humanitarian aid.
Europe is accruing a debt to heroic Ukrainians who are defending us with their lives which can never be repaid.

Proud to convey to President Zelenskyy Ireland’s steadfast solidarity with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. During our Presidency of the EU, we will work to ensure Ukraine receives the support it needs and achieves progress on Ukraine’s EU accession path.

@campion95 If you want a dose of reality try living in the real world.
Filling your car
Feeding clothing and housing your family
Trying to keep you farm/business afloat.
All via our corrupt gobshits of government.
Fuck every other shithole outside of our own country. 🙄

@Guingarm Good, don’t want delusional morons that can’t acknowledge reality.

@CorkCoypu Maybe so.
But bigger picture.
It's ultimately because he refused to use pronouns.

#EnochBurke is in prison because he refused to obey a court order to stay away from a school, not because he refused to use "they/them" pronouns.
This is a fact

Today is 8 weeks to the day since an African woman drove a bus into a crowd of Irish people, killing local man Frank Daly and injuring several others.
Despite early claims by the media that the driver had experienced a "medical episode", that was quickly debunked by gardaí. However, she is yet to be charged and the media have essentially stopped talking about the incident.
In fact two weeks ago the Irish state broadcaster RTE ran a piece about a dancing migrant bus driver "spreading joy throughout Dublin."
The government wants you to forget about this incident, they want you to forget about Frank Daly.
Don't let that happen.
