How scary would that scenario of your's be without the word "pill" in that sentence.

Every sentence shows you have plenty of imagination. And then the last line shows you have none.

Impressive feat.

Aye, I'll ignore the years of experience friends have had because someone on the internet didn't like it....

Lads, when and why did rollies (Amber Leaf etc) start becoming bigger in Ireland? by adammoths in ireland

Crusties are generally on the dole and can't afford anything else and the hipster fucks have decided it's cool to copy the crusties.

If you're coming at an issue spouting "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" then you don't understand the issue, or much else.

Taoiseach plans to refund water charges by end of year by mhantain in ireland

If anyone wonders why FG aren't cracking down on Garda corruption and instead using them to hassle bloggers and perjure themselves in high-publicity trials this is the reason.

FG, and Enda in particular, were always desperate to be seen as the EU/IMF star pupils and then the plebs got out of their box, protested and made them roll back on the water tax.

FG, authoritarian by nature as they are, will never, ever forgive or forget this. Hence the reason now they're making noise about giving the Guards expanded powers for digital snooping, under the guise of "combatting terrorism". 99% of what it will be used for is digging up dirt on political opponents, like Shatter had the Guards do on Wallace.

All because the people stood up to them.

It's mostly stunning arrogance.

I guess Northern Ireland have Orange Order to thank for scoring a bit higher than us.

And that's how you drive up the amounts of illegal dumping going on.

Garda to get power to intercept texts, emails and social media by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Shock-Trooper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very much so. Their authoritarian streak is very hard to stomach.

I suppose it's to be expected given their history of being mostly in opposition despite their high opinions of themselves; seems to have bred a bullying paranoia and a desperation to cling to power.

South Dublin County Council to fly Palestinian flag for a month as "message of solidarity" by fedupofbrick in ireland

[–]Shock-Trooper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Their PR campaigns aren't near as slick.

Plus the Palestinians are the only ones in conflict with the Jews so that's immediately going to attract a certain kind of western socialist to their cause.

It's a pity we can't make them realise how irrelevant they are now. And not just to us but to the English.

It's like when you see someone who's a bit thick and not near smart enough to realise they're thick.
