@BartBurggraaf @Rob_Roos The system is also rigged against anyone who wants to work a 2nd part time job, with massive taxes on the “2nd income”

Nederland werkt niet (meer). Bijna de helft van 20- tot 64-jarigen werkt niet of in deeltijd. Geen EU-land scoort slechter. Ondertussen schreeuwen zorg, onderwijs en politie om personeel. Logisch dat mensen minder werken: van elke extra euro houdt een middeninkomen vaak minder dan de helft over. Verlaag de lasten op arbeid. Dan gaan mensen vanzelf weer meer uren maken.

@ThatMetaverse A rallying cry for a game against a team who really don’t care too much about the game because there’s more important things going on this week

It was probably one of the worst home atmospheres all season today. Brink of Europe and the majority sit in silence, whilst Palace fans are 3-0 down bouncing around & singing throughout.

@DVanLangenhove Looks like navy pier in Chicago

Scheveningen beach today. Dutch people used to come here to relax, now there’s riots whenever the sun is out. We either send all these [redacted] back or there will not be a single safe town left for our children.

@MichealMartinTD Deeply saddened by your treachery and mismanagement of the country!

Deeply saddened at the passing of Moya Brennan - an iconic Irish voice. Along with her Clannad bandmates, Moya brought Irish folk music to the international stage. Deepest sympathies to Moya’s family and friends at this difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

@thejournal_ie @WatchdogTh96012 I didn’t see any protest leaders sitting in the six one studio!

Minister Patrick O'Donovan has said he will be asking Coimisiún na Meán to review RTÉ and others' coverage of the fuel protests. He suggested that coverage was "lopsided" in favour of the protest and that "carte blanche was given to some people". jrnl.ie/7011275t

WOW! @TheMasters is like a Dublin bus for @McIlroyRory wait so long and two come in a row

@OCallaghanJim @gardainfo @fiannafailparty If you’re so sure you have the backing of the people, call an election. You sent armed thugs to attack peaceful men! Pity you don’t do the same with actual criminals! You days in office are numbered!

@ThomasByrneTD If your so sure of yourselves then call an election! Prove you have the mandate!

This is the reality of the blockade. Healthcare put at risk. Businesses damaged. The vulnerable made more vulnerable. Ordinary people prevented from going about their daily lives. And with no mandate to do so. It has gone too far - it has to end.

@ThomasByrneTD Lies

@susanob0 @Default69202648 These are the loonies on the left

@tq85 @Default69202648 🤣 farmer's are far right now, apparently.

The Gardai will deal with this calmly and professionally. So will the farmers and hauliers. They all want far right agitators to leave sites across the country.

@Mickbraz1 @Default69202648 The only agitator I’ve seen was the leftist plant with the scythe

@Default69202648 Seek help. There are no agitators as you call them at the refinery in cork. Or can you provide evidence to back your claims, you pos?

@murra4712 @RobCarryBray I used that exact phrase today,

@RobCarryBray Is this our "let them eat cake " moment in Irish history

The Social Democrats are the latest to side with the Government over the protesters. Soc Dem TD Jennifer Whitmore just slammed the protests as 'wrong' saying protesters are target commuters. You know who doesn't have to worry about fuel tax? Jennifer Whitmore. She's claims a €25,295 Travel and Accommodation Allowance for going from Delgany to Dublin (occassionally). Outside of rush hour, that's a 45 minute drive. Totally unvouched so no receipts needed - and she claims the full amount. Keep in mind - that's on top of the Public Representation Allowance of €20,350 she claims and a basic wage of €113,679. Its very easy to pontificate about socialist principals when you're pulling down a few hundred grand a year and living in Delgany. But look how fast worker solidarity evaporates when faced with having to sit in traffic for an extra hour or two for her €25k travel allowance. The slightest bit of inconvenience and as far as the privileged left are concerned, the people who grow and transport the food we eat are to be thrown to the wolves. Stand with the Farmers. Stand with the Hauliers. Stand with the Workers 🇮🇪

@RobCarryBray Champagne socialists

@ThomasByrneTD They should paint everything orange and say they’re just stop oil, or wave Palestinian flags, you’ll leave them at it

Time to call it off, it has gone too far

@ThomasByrneTD Resign! Time for a new Ireland! Time for your lot to reap what you have sown

@VirginMediaNews He’s full of himself that fella, completely lost face, time to go

Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan says fuel protesters are being influenced by external figures, urging them to recognise the impact of their actions. He referenced Tommy Robinson as an example of those seeking to use the protests to advance their own agenda. #VMNews

@jasonomahony I smell a bot 🤖

I have no problem with my taxes being used to fund homeless services, overseas aid or to help Ukraine fight the fascist in the Kremlin.

@Simsy_RS We’d have lost him to Chelsea for 30 the year before if we didn’t put that in his contract

Michael Olise for me is the greatest talent I’ve ever seen for Palace. His potential was out of the ordinary & we sold him for 50million. Just 50m. A player who has Ballon D’or potential We need a review on how we negotiate transfers. He was a 75m player when with us.

Once again @rtenews with soft questions for @OCallaghanJim !! Must be nice being able to make speeches without opposition, #fuelprotest
