Smells Fishy!

And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty... and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead.

FORENSIC ANALYSIS

You've heard the spin, you've read the 'soft-soaping', now know the truth.

“Ben Gvir represents an extreme fringe”

They actually wrote that.

He is Israel’s National Security Minister!

He is in charge of Israel’s police and prisons!

He is appointed by Netanyahu!

He has not even been sacked, let alone arrested!

This is dishonest shit 👇👇👇

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

The question then becomes:

‘Did the government know when it bailed @rte out with taxpayer’s money?’

Yes, that’s why the revenue amnesty labelled a ‘disclosure scheme’ exists. It’s only after immunity is granted the biggest offender exposed is the state itself as employer #twip

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

High Court proceedings concerning employment-status issues are ongoing, while a disclosure/regularisation scheme simultaneously operates in adjacent territory.

MSM should be asking:
Did the State operationally settle around the edges of issues still being judicially contested?

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

how many media organisations participated,
how many publicly funded bodies participated,
and what sectors/workforces were most affected?

Hi Ayne, Irish Jew here, daughter of a German born Holocaust surviver. I should be angry at this outrageously stupid and ridiculis post and was tempted to scroll on, with an eye roll, but found I could not. So.. here goes ..I love my country, Ireland, and its people. We Irish "give out" a lot about many things, and rightly so, but when it gets down to the nitty gritty we stick together, love and protect each other. There is a long history of oppression and colonialism in Ireland which allows us Irish to understand the subject pretty darn well. I have many many friends here, most of whom I have no clue of what religion they might or might not practice or even how they vote in elections as that is of no interst to me and its a vice versa thing. The Irish couldn't give a sheit if you are Jewish or not. They do however, give a sheit, if you are blowing children to pieces, commiting genocide and stealing homes and land. The few people who I do know to be Jewish or of Jewish decent, are venimtly anti Zionist, as am I, and can be found on the front lines of Free Palestine marches, even speaking at them. To us..never again means never again.. to any one ..anywhere... ever! I hope that clarifies the issue for you.

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

The Chair of Revenue Commissioners told PAC that a significant number of State employers availed of the amnesty.

It is undeniably in the PUBLIC INTEREST that every state, semi state, and org that gets taxpayer money is identified.

That absolutely includes main stream media.

@williamhboney1 We'll hopefully have fusion working before we could possibly have a fission reactor built, complete waste of time even considering it imo. I'd reckon fusion should be working well within most of our lifetimes, great strides being made with it lately.

@BTriagain They always conveniently forget the Greeks coined British isles long before a place called Britain ever existed. They took the name from the archipelago, a greek name derived from the Celts 😅 pretty funny when they use that argument really.

[WeeMan @AntrimLens]

A grown adult took aim down the sights of his rifle directly at the face of a 13 year old child and pulled the trigger and for over 50 years British politicians have and will continue to protect him. Shame on anyone standing with soldiers A and E. https://t.co/uvr0HRNDQD

The ensheddification of Ireland’s housing

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

When you weren’t blaming migrants for for your housing crisis you were blaming single mothers @MichealMartinTD

You will always have an excuse to punch down in the crisis @FineGael and @fiannafailparty created Michael but never a solution.

@williamhboney1 @irishcongress Problem with Irish unions is they don't care about employees, they only care about the big boys in the club at top and staying cosy with employers to make themselves feel powerful and have a contrived sense of control over their members. Pigs at a trough

[Smells Fishy! @FishStuffinfo]

@paul_gavan @fiannafailparty @irishcongress #CollectivebBargaining doesn't work when the Union makes agreement without consultation or vote, lie to members about rights to protect employers, threaten employees that don't fall in line, tell 2 faced stories depending who they're talking to etc never join a union in Ireland..

Ireland at the top of the table in not enriching warmongering weapons manufacturers.

[Ciarán Nugent @ciarannugent]

Yeah, but we don't.

It's factually incorrect

A German worker on 60k pays 37.5% income tax

An Irish worker on 60k pays 25%

A German worker on 90k pays 41% income tax

An Irish worker on 90k pays 33%

How this stuff gets by editorial process every other week is mad
