The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile. That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap. That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel. People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

Sinn Féin TDs and Senators met this morning and will be moving a motion of no confidence in the government. The actions of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Independents have been disastrous. They have lost the confidence of the public. It is clear that they still are not listening and do not accept the scale of this fuel and cost of living crisis. All reports indicate it will be more of the same half measures from them this evening. This is unacceptable. We need the maximum reductions now, as proposed by Sinn Féin weeks ago.

What on earth are Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael doing locking the protesters out of the talks, talks that are meant to be about addressing the fuel crisis.   They  are making an absolute shambles of things - escalating this crisis instead of doing their job. They need to lift the phone, engage with the protesters and hear what they have to say.  The priority has to be ending the protests, getting fuel prices down and doing this as quickly as possible.

Any chance we could have another election? 😅 Have a feeling the majority of the country now see what absolute cretins are running this country.

Brilliance from David Savage on the fuel debacle!

So out of touch it's unreal 😂😂

@FabrizioRomano One more premier league club @MikelCorleone49 👀

🚨⭐️ EXCL: Manchester City join the race with Bundesliga and Premier League clubs for German gem Kennet Eichhorn. 16 year old talent seen as interesting profile with Man City, one more PL club and Bundesliga giants on it. One to watch in next months. 🇩🇪

Good to see people on the streets for action on fuel prices today. We need: * A cap on energy prices - give people security and stop profiteering. * Energy credits for all households, and €400 emergency payment for disabled people and carers. * Free frequent public transport.

Open the Fuckin' Strait..... The Strait that was open before the US/Israel started this.

Would be nice if the mainstream media were as interested in highlighting the work done by Arseblog & ArsenalVision as they do when some dipshit Arsenal fan says something stupid on other platforms. Over seven figures raised over the years 👏

@MikelCorleone49 Kim Kallstrom coming (broken) back to the carpet?! 😮😂

@MikelCorleone49 It's Kim K related but for the life of me I ain't working it out, I'm rusty 😅😂

@InsideArsenal89 🤝

@d_allister Juggling two phones bare with homes

Btw if your account is open & I see nothing. No Arsenal, no nothing & I don’t know you. No Randal looking asses allowed.

The strait was open. He starts a war. The strait closes. The world economy gets fucked. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, he gets bored, he declares victory, and he tells the rest of the world to open the strait, to clean up his mess. He’s such a prick. He’s such a destructive prick.
