@griptmedia @Jklunden It always puzzles me that Ireland has, in theory, such an astronomically high GDP per capita. Where does all the money go? Transport? Health services? Housing? Public Services? Low personal taxes?

If we didn't have the eu pillaging our waters we wouldn't have a fish stock problem. Cod and chips was a poor working families meal. We had a thriving fishing industry and meat, poultry, dairy, cheese, fruit and vegetable industry. All our food and fish should be affordable.

The amount of food delivery drivers I’ve seen out today whilst canvassing is mind blowing 👀 As someone who never orders online food delivery. Can anyone explain to me why making an omelette or a sandwich at home isn’t better than forking out £15-£20 for a take-away? 🤔

The EU is a far‑left monster — a corrupt, unelected bureaucracy drowning in woke ideology. EU isn't about safety. It's about total control: digital ID, chat surveillance, VPN bans. Brussels doesn't want citizens. It wants obedient subjects. Tear it down.

When you travel anywhere in mainland Europe it really makes it stand out just how hyperdiverse Ireland (and Britain) are by comparison. Dublin might the only place I’ve been to where there is no dominant language which sets the tone for the background chatter - English exists only as one language among a cacophony of dozens of others. (Of course people might say in response to that English is a foreign language anyway - but even if Ireland were still a Gaelic country, with the current ethnic demographics the Irish language would not survive long as a lingua franca). And the strangest thing about this demographic transformation is just how little it features in public discourse. In Britain they have an easier time rationalising the presence of immigrants, due to the imperial history, the commonwealth, the windrush myth - the British state has spent decades constructing narratives to justify the transformation of their country and incorporate the diversity into their national identity. The Irish have done no such thing - we still love to think of ourselves as a people united by common traits, experiences, cultural attitudes et - while seemingly blind to the fact that the commonality which was the basis of Irish society has been destroyed.

@SamaHoole You need to include bloaters along with kippers. In my family they were our top choice. Delicious, if hard to eat. Probably healthy too, but we never thought about nutrition in those days. We just ate what was traditional. Not expensive & tasted good

The British breakfast had a kipper in it for about three hundred years. A pair of split, salted, oak-smoked herring, brown as a cricket bat, served on a warm plate with a knob of butter melting into the flesh and a triangle of toast on the side. You ate it with your fingers if you were honest about it. The bones came out as you went. The room smelled of smoke until lunchtime. In 1913 the herring fleet at Yarmouth landed 853 million fish in a single autumn season. The Scottish girls followed the boats down the coast, gutting and packing on the quay, hands wrapped in cloth against the salt. Every fishing port from Stornoway to Lowestoft had a smokehouse with the door propped open and a kipper drying inside. A kipper carries roughly 250 IU of vitamin D, a complete dose of long-chain omega-3, B12 in concentrations no supplement attempts to match, selenium, iodine, and the kind of protein your grandmother considered breakfast. The British herring fishery collapsed in the 1970s through overfishing by industrial trawlers. The smokehouses closed one by one through the 1980s. Craster still does it. Loch Fyne still does it. A handful of others. The supermarket sells a vacuum-packed orange fillet that has been dyed and warm-smoked in eight hours by a machine in Grimsby and tastes, accurately, of nothing. A British child in 1950 could identify a kipper by smell alone from two streets away. A British child in 2026 has, statistically, never eaten one. The fish is back in the North Sea. The smokehouse at Craster is still there. Three days post, the house will smell faintly of it. Worth it.

In a time where the EU looks to impose its Digital Euro and eliminate cash from circulation, Switzerland voted to enshrine a “right to cash” into its Constitution. This is the way forward for countries. All EU countries should follow suit.

I was stuck at the airport for hours. Flight delayed, no clear answers, just that slow frustration building. Next to me was a man who wasn’t just annoyed, he was panicking. Calls, pacing, that look like everything was on the line. I finally asked what was wrong. He said, “My daughter’s wedding. Tomorrow. If I miss this flight, I miss walking her down the aisle.” And just like that, it stopped feeling like a normal delay. They announced it was a mechanical issue. More waiting. Maybe even a cancellation. I asked where the wedding was, and it turned out it was in the same state, just a different city. About a 5 hours drive. So I said, “I have a car. I can drive you.” He looked shocked. “That’s 10 hours round trip. I can’t ask you to do that.” I told him, “You’re not asking. I’m offering. Let’s go.” And we did. Somewhere along the drive, the…

@dejanirasilveir Switzerland is a genuinely democratic country where the public decide key issues directly. If only other countries followed that system Europe would be a much better place

🚨🚨 DURO GOLPE MORTAL a la presidenta del Banco Central Europeo, Christine Lagarde. Suiza 🇨🇭 APROBÓ en referéndum garantizar el uso PERMANENTE del dinero en efectivo. 👏👏👏 Un 73% de los votantes respaldó una iniciativa para garantizar la disponibilidad permanente de dinero en efectivo en el país, que no podrá ser reemplazada por dinero virtual. Con el dinero en efectivo la Agenda 2030 no se puede implementar. EL EFECTIVO ES VIDA Y LIBERTAD⚔️🔥

Belgium Police basically surround me while I’m live streaming… and then this happened, I was in Belgium filming the migrant situation when multiple Belgian police vans and officers suddenly approached me on the street. They admitted they had been watching my livestream the entire time. They took me back to my hotel, checked my ID, and searched the place. My trip to Belgium came to a very abrupt end. Migrant trafficking gangs are now openly threatening to shoot me in the head. On top of that, the French authorities have already banned me and now it looks like the Belgian police are monitoring me too. This is a lot bigger than any of us realise. They really don’t want the truth coming out about what’s happening on the ground. #Belgium #MigrantCrisis #PoliceSurveillance #ExposeTheTruth #OperationOverlord

@robbertleusink Er, isn't the Catholic bible a version (more than one version) of original texts translated from Greek & Hebrew? Didn't "political" factors in the Roman Empire, & since, affect the end product?

In 1604, King James I commissioned a new Bible translation to stop his subjects questioning his authority 47 scholars worked on it for 7 years The King James Bible was published on May 2, 1611 Protestants call it the word of God But it was commissioned by a king to serve a political purpose The Catholic Church preserved scripture for a thousand years before a king decided he wanted his own version Only the Catholic Bible is unaltered and true

Premier Inn owner Whitbread is closing all 197 remaining Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants across Britain for good, 87 of the sites will be converted into extra Premier Inn hotel rooms while the other 110 will be sold off over the next two years, the move is part of a ruthless five-year plan to slash £250 million in costs and cut around 3,800 jobs which is 12% of the workforce, Whitbread blames huge rises in business rates and National Insurance contributions plus changing guest habits that now prefer simple hotel food and drink offers, CEO Dominic Paul said the branded restaurants no longer make sense and the overhaul will turn Whitbread into a higher-margin pure-play hotel business, the much-loved chains that have been around since the 1970s and 1980s will effectively disappear as the company focuses purely on Premier Inn rooms and revenue, Well done Labour..
