[Dr. Eoin Lenihan @EoinLenihan]

Ireland is so rich 40% of working people under the age of 35 live in their childhood bedroom without hope of buying or renting their own home.

Ireland is so rich that each month it sets new homelessness records with 17,500 people being homeless in March.

Ireland is so rich that 3 out of 5 Irish people under the age of 25 want to emigrate and 81% said they'd have a better quality of life elsewhere.

Ireland is so rich that Irish people - not high-earning non-Irish FDI tech multinational (Indian) workers, and not no-earning false asylum claimants - will at best be able to move into a garden shed out the back of their parent's home.

Ireland is so rich that when it snows elderly people across the nation - particularly in the west - are left without heat and electricity because of archaic infrastructure outside of the capital.

Ireland is so rich that hauliers and farmers recently braved being pepper-sprayed by police to try and bring notice to the fact that they are living paycheque to paycheque.

Ireland is so rich that groceries cost the second-highest in the Eurozone - 12% above the EU average. It has the highest electricity costs in Europe (excluding inflationary government subsidies). Ireland is so rich it routinely tops the most expensive lists for hotels, dining, internet, phones, postage etc.

Ireland is so rich...on paper.

A young couple in England, the day before they were due to exchange contracts on what was to be their first home, received two phone calls in quick succession. The first was from their estate agent. The second was from their solicitor. The information was the same in both.

The local council had outbid them for their house, by £20,000. The seller had accepted.

The couple had been bidding for the house since the asking price was £150,000. The bidding had taken the price up to £190,000, already, by their own account, the upper edge of what they could afford. The council had come in at £210,000, a level they could not match.

Their offer was abandoned. Their survey, costing £900, was wasted. They still owe legal fees of £2,200 plus VAT regardless. The fixed-rate mortgage offer they had secured, in a market where rates have been rising again, will now expire before they find another property. Their landlord has new tenants moving in to their current rental in the second week of June. They are looking, on the calendar in front of them, at potential homelessness inside two months.

The reason the council bought the house was disclosed to them, after some pushing, by a councillor they happened to know personally. The council needed urgent additional accommodation for asylum seekers. The property they had been buying was already previously registered as a House in Multiple Occupation, which made the conversion straightforward.

The taxpayer money the council used to outbid them comes from a £500 million national pilot scheme, established under the present government, in which local authorities are funded to buy properties on the open market in order to house asylum seekers and reduce the cost of asylum hotels.

In other words, local government is, on the order of central government, using your own money to give housing that you should

It's a representative case.

134,760 British households were in temporary accommodation as of September 2025, which is a record. 4,793 people were sleeping rough on a single night in autumn 2025, also a record, and 171% higher than in 2010. 28% of all new social housing lettings in England in 2024/25, approximately 75,000 households, went to people deemed statutorily homeless.

The number of new social housing lettings that included a member of the Armed Forces community was, in the same year, approximately 2,600. The number of new lettings that went to non-UK nationals, on the basis of the nationality data published by central government, was substantially in excess of that veteran figure, by, depending on how the data is cut, about 10x.

This is the British state, in 2026, using the working tax contributions of two young people in the first weeks of trying to buy a home, to outbid those same two young people for that same home, in order to provide free accommodation for foreign nationals whose claims to be in this country have not yet been assessed and may well be completely worthless.

The young people will, on the present trajectory, be made homeless in the same June in which the asylum seekers move into the property they were trying to buy. The young people will be paying, through their council tax for the rest of their working lives, for the accommodation in which the asylum seekers will live. It is likely, given the number of migrants to Britain whose lifetime tax contribution is net negative, that they will be paying tax to offset these new arrivals for the rest of their lives.

It goes without saying that we need the most fundamental imaginable reconstruction of our asylum, housing, planning, and immigration laws to prevent such travesties of justice from happening again. We all know what is required by way of change in those areas. Progress has written a more extensively policy testament on this subject than any other political organisation in Britain.

Beyond that there is one last thing worth saying. The young couple, on the available account, are not in a position to fight any of this through the courts. They cannot afford to. Their solicitor, on their telling, was pressing them for the legal fees on a debit card before the rest of the conversation was over.

They will, in all likelihood, lose the home, the deposit, the survey, the rate deal, and the remainder of their tenancy in a single short summer. They will then watch the property they were trying to buy be filled, at the public's expense, by the people the British state has decided to prioritise over them.

If that does not make you furious enough to do something about what is happening in Britain, nothing will.

@SineadOS1 @mobfecit Ireland is like a household where an authoritarian alcoholic father (cabinet) in control of the money squanders essential rental income from an inherited property (Ireland to US MNCs) on superfluous things (IPAS, Net Zero etc) to impress his buddies down in the local pub (EU).

We are not obliged to concrete over all of our small island to facilitate perpetual mass immigration, and Dublin is clearly at its carrying capacity in most metrics. But all we can expect from low grade representatives is a repetition of things that have already been done before.

[An Brasan Fada 🇮🇪🇮🇪 @an_brasan]

My 2 cent on the protests.

The Republic is Ours to Restore.

We have reached a point in our history where silence is no longer an option. Under Micheál Martin and Simon Harris, this coalition of incompetent clowns has steered Ireland into a ditch of its own making. They lecture us about stability while the country burns with frustration. Look at the fuel protests choking Dublin and every major route this week. Hard-working farmers, hauliers and families are out in force because the cost of diesel, petrol and home-heating oil has become unbearable. Yet Martin dismisses them as “wrong” and Harris offers nothing but empty words and threats of penalties.

Ordinary people are fighting for survival, and the government treats them like criminals. This is not new. We saw the same contempt during the water protests a decade ago, when citizens refused to accept the privatisation of a basic human right. Back then the people won concessions because they refused to bend. Today the same arrogance prevails, only now it is dressed up in EU compliance and green rhetoric.

The compliant media, from the national broadcaster downwards, barely reports the scale of the anger or, when it does, frames the protesters as reckless rather than desperate. Truth is edited out if it does not suit the official narrative.

Worse still is what they are doing to our children. In schools and colleges, genuine education has been replaced by ideological indoctrination. Insane theories on gender and identity are pushed as unquestionable fact, while parents are sidelined and teachers are pressured to affirm rather than teach. This is not progress; it is social engineering designed to sever the next generation from the values and traditions that built this nation.

All of it flows from the same source: a Marxist-inspired EU project that has hollowed out our sovereignty. Directives from Brussels dictate our energy policy, our borders, our laws. The 1916 Proclamation spoke plainly: “Irishmen and Irishwomen … Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom.” The men and women who signed that document did not risk everything so that future generations could hand our destiny to unelected commissioners in Strasbourg. Our own Constitution is equally clear. Article 1 affirms the inalienable right of the Irish people “to choose its own form of Government” and to develop our life “in accordance with its own genius and traditions.” Those words are not decorative. They are the foundation of the Republic.

Martin and Harris have abandoned that foundation. They have traded independence for obedience, heritage for ideology, and the common good for the approval of Davos and Brussels. They have failed on housing, failed on costs, and failed the very people they claim to serve. They have to go. All of them. The entire cabinet and every backbencher who enabled this betrayal must be removed from office. The time for polite letters and quiet ballots is over.

Support the fuel convoys. Organise in your communities. Demand referenda on sovereignty. Flood the streets, pack the public meetings, and make it impossible for them to govern. Ireland belongs to its people, not to this government of clowns or to the faceless bureaucrats in Brussels. Reclaim it. The Republic is ours to restore.

���� BREAKING

@EU_Commission now admits that the #COVID mRNA injections were released for use in humans without "complete" safety data.

'Trust the science" turned out to be a lie. Profit was prioritized over safety.

Those who questioned the narrative were silenced, censored, and cancelled. People were mocked and marginalized for refusing the shots. It's time for accountability.

[Dr. Marcus De Brun @indepdubnrth]

Remember when the mainstream media were busy telling everyone that there was "no treatment for Covid" and "only the vaccine could treat or prevent Covid"?

Remember when they were ridiculing the American President for taking Hydroxychloroquine?

Remember when NPHET, the Irish Government and the HSE were insisting that Hydroxychloroquine was of "no benefit whatsoever" in treating Covid?

Well, here is what they were actually telling Hospital Consultants at the same time!

[Humanspective @Humanspective]

This is stunning. Dr Jake Scott goes dead silent.

[@SenRonJohnson]: "Do you not know?"

Senator Ron Johnson has to walk Dr Jake Scott through how mRNA vaccines work, because he doesn't have a clear understanding of the mechanism's of the technology and still thinks it "primarily" stays at the injection site 🤯

Pfizer's very own bio distribution data freely available, shows it goes EVERYWHERE, including crossing the blood brain barrier and going to the adrenal glands and ovaries. This is embarrassing

Leicester Uni claims the countryside is racist, attacks country pubs & wants more halal food & mosques etc. No. No. No.

We must understand the true motives here

They're attacking the countryside because British identity is intrinsically linked to the landscape

Ask an Englishman, Scot, Welshman or Ulsterman to conjure up an image of their nation, and thoughts
immediately turn to the countryside

The countryside epitomises both nation and love of nation.

It's a deeply emotional – almost spiritual – connection.

Denouncing the countryside as racist is to directly attack the heart of the nation and national identity.

Whether it be the University of Leicester, the National Trust or any of the other captured institutions, they are striving to create a future where the British people no longer have any pride, trust or belief in their national culture, history and traditions.

That is the ultimate "Year Zero" goal

The British people are being demoralised in a prolonged war of attrition that seeks to undermine Britain's culture, heritage & way of life

The race zealots who say the countryside is racist or that British culture is racist aren't motivated out of love for ethnic minorities

They have a visceral hatred of Britain & the West and seek to undermine them at every opportunity

Every day it seems, a different institution tells the British people that they are racist, their culture is racist, their history is racist, their national heroes are racist, and now even their countryside is racist.

If ever you wanted proof that Britain is a post-revolutionary society whose institutions have been completely captured by ideological apparatchicks trying to transform the soul of the nation, this it.

So hanging an Irish flag from a public lamp post needs permission from the council but opening an IPAS center doesn’t require planning permission. You couldn’t make it up.
