@RachelMoiselle Typical paddystinian wanker. Irish people simping for jihadists is beyond stupid. It isn't a common struggle from Irelands past.

This video is less than two minutes long and I implore everyone to watch it. It is indeed rather extraordinary.
As Holocaust Awareness Ireland says, Patrick Kielty exhibits utter callousness with respect to the attacks on the Jewish community, astonishingly saying ‘the backdrop of that is obviously the horrors in Gaza, this is a complex thing.’
Boy George remains calm and says ‘if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem.’ He then asks the audience ‘do you know any Jewish people?’
Boy George is visibly taken aback by the ensuing silence, and vocalises his shock twice, remarking that it is ‘weird’ and ‘surprising me a little bit.’ Patrick looks uncomfortable and ends puts an end to the topic with a dismissive ‘mmm’.
Extraordinary viewing. Just extraordinary.

Quite an extraordinary interview on @RTELateLateShow last night. @BoyGeorge lived in Golders Green and speaks about his life long relationship Jewish people, explaining how his support for Jews has resulted in him receiving much abuse. Two defining moments come when he asked the audience if they know any Jewish people and is met by stone cold silence. The silence represents a combination of fear that admitting such relationships publicly might cause difficulty and the reality that most Irish people don't know any Jews. As he said himself, the silence is deafening. The second incredulous aspect of the interview is @PatricKielty's singular lack of empathy when speaking about Jews. Here is a public figure who has been rightly applauded for his brave public confrontation with the tragic sectarian murder of his father and the manner in which he has engaged with the loyalist community in the North. How is it that a man capable of extraordinary courage is blind to the persecution of another minority in the city of London where he calls home? Has he been corrupted by the RTE hive mind where the narrative around the issue of Israel and Jews is disturbingly unbalanced? So disappointed. Segment begins at 10.30.

@DavidMarra @ciarannugent Fair point w.r.t. DE & DK. Best practice nations in many respects.
Any specific OPEX areas you think need to be tackled first?
BTW: No obligation to respond of a sunny Friday evening. Just interested in various opinions on seeing where tax policy might go. Cheers 🍻

@TAAB66 @ciarannugent Well first, we can’t have over 30% of workers paying nothing at all. In Ireland you earn almost €20k before paying tax. In Germany it’s €12k; Denmark is €7k.
Also, govt opex needs to drop by 20%+ to allow for overall reduced tax take.

@PopeSeneca @Lor2ie @maryharryheff It’s a sad state of affairs when basic civics & the fundamentals of well established & progressive tax policy need to be explained to grown ups.
English
@Lor2ie @maryharryheff The system that takes money from Irish taxpayers to pay for Ukrainian benefits. Pretty sure I don't want my money going to Ukrainians.
English
My daughter, married 4 children, working full-time as is her husband. Doctors appointment €70 and €80 a month for any meds. If she was Ukrainian she'd have a medical card, no questions asked. Oh renting aswell, can't get a mortgage. So basically their fucked living here.

@DavidMarra @ciarannugent Yes. Just wondering what is an optimal “range” for income & wealth taxation given nature & size of our economy, public services & infrastructural requirements, national debt & general public disposition towards where we are as a nation etc…
No easy answers I’m sure…😳

Is there any Irish person worthy of being on our banknotes?

@ciarannugent Which is way too much. Stop trying to gaslight people into believing we’re not taxed excessively

Following a new report on the growing toll across Europe from excessive consumption of alcohol, a commission of experts argue that the time has come for tougher action - including higher taxes on both alcohol and unhealthy food rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

@OdohertyI64991 No reasonable person advocates support for any fanatical religious fundamentalist movement. Overwhelming majority of Irish people are expressing support for Palestinian civilians killed, maimed or incarcerated by an accident of history, geography & dysfunctional politics.
English
This absurd affinity with Islamic fundamentalism is baffling. It can only be explained by their hatred of Jews
Why else would so many Irish people support a theocratic regime that kills and tortures its own citizens, is explicitly homophobic, misogynistic and hates all Jews?
Odd.

This beaut arrived this morning. #FreePalestine

Every morning I’m up at half 4 to build houses that will be rented, sold or given to foreigners.
The pay I receive is taxed to death to fund mega IPAS centres, court translators and prisons filled foreigners.
Construction companies are already beginning to go under. I may have to sit at home with no job while illegal foreigners benefit from my labour and I receive nothing.
These same foreigners that have been given everything will go on social media and gloat about all the free stuff.
The government has created a situation where animosity and resentment is rife.
Soon loads of very angry Irish men may have no jobs to keep the busy.

@KeithColson @LizGunnNZ In reality the most “retarded” place in the known universe is to be found on X. It’s an entertainment platform rather than an outlet for rational discussion. Chemtrails & COVID nuttiness, flat earthers, moon landing deniers, Jesus freaks….It’s got it all going on…🤪

The most vaccinated place in the world is in Ireland.
It's a place called Waterford.
They had the highest vaccination rate in the world.
Then they suffered the highest Covid rate in Ireland.
And then they had the highest excess deaths.
The local health authority got an award from the World Health Organisation for the way they handled the pandemic.
They had the highest death rate, having had the highest vaccination rate. 85% excess deaths at one stage they were on.

@GodlessKult @KajDbc32 Alas…. I was trying to avoid sounding too harsh but the evidence suggests you’re correct.

@Polito_loco How can you have over 50K posts in an account that’s just under 3 years old? Do you have a job? Do you sleep at all? Do others work shifts to post on your behalf? Are you being paid by foreign influencers? Please explain.

@DeviateDefiant @Inevitablewest @metpoliceuk Refused to drop the knife. Kicks to the head to immobilise are reasonable.
English
@Inevitablewest Why the fuck are they kicking the guy in the head? 😲
@metpoliceuk, your brute need suspending pending investigation – how the hell is deliberately trying to permanently injure someone appropriate/reasonable force?
The officer is not fit to be on our streets 🤮
