A €9bn Metro for Dublin is needed. So €19bn isnt too bad. We are a wealthy country so €25bn for a metro isnt bad. After it is built, no one will be talking about the €28bn it will cost because the €30bn to build the MetroLink is a one off cost.
BP has pulled out of the North Sea after being battered by Labour windfall taxes.
The company has put its North Sea business up for sale, ending more than 60 years of oil and gas production in the basin.
Mad Miliband's refusal to grant new oil licenses has clearly aggravated BP's position.
Net Zero is a money-making sham that is destroying our pockets, our industry, our economy and our country.
This corrupt cretin belongs behind bars for preventing BP from competing against global rivals.

Meet your new mayor of Greater Manchester, Labours Bev Craig.
The country is going to hell in a handcart due to morons voting for morons, and morons who cant be arsed voting. I give up.
Ceuta, Spain today, UK/Ireland Next. A 38 hour trip covering 3466 kms. The draw of free housing, benefits for life & free healthcare will be irresistible to illegal migrants. Liberal Lefties waiting to embrace them. NGOs frothing at the mouth for the funding they will get.
Italy, Sweden and Finland all calling on Spain to cop the fuck on!
In Ireland we have high profile academics looking at hordes of illegal migrants swarming over the European frontier and insisting there's nothing wrong.
I realise it’s a broad playing field, but, good god, this man has to be one of the most consistently, wretchedly stupid individuals ever to prance across it…
A mewling toddler spewing & bubbling up its apple sauce, from a high chair, makes more sense…
(Referring to his comment about people being “disappointed” only)
Your party backed a supertax on oil companies in the North Sea.
Your party opposed new licenses in the North Sea.
Why are you surprised BP has decided to pack it in?
Nauseating hypocrisy to affect to be now concerned about jobs and communities.
Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop was ruled by West Oxfordshire District Council to be incompatible with its countryside location. The countryside location is a farm.
Those are close to their own words. The nature, scale and siting of the operation was found to be unsustainable and incompatible with its countryside location within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The building at the centre of it was a lambing shed. Built for lambs. In a field. Next to other fields, which contain sheep, which is what the shed was for.
The council's other findings, over three years of this:
- A farm shop may not sell food grown more than sixteen miles away.
- A lambing shed may not become a restaurant.
- A car park for the people who come anyway was refused.
- Six weeks was judged ample to put the barn back the way it was.
Sixteen miles. Meanwhile the supermarket eleven miles down the road sells Peruvian asparagus, Kenyan beans and Brazilian beef, and no council has ever drawn a circle round it.
And consider what the Cotswolds actually are. Stone walls, stone barns, cropped green hills. It looks the way it looks because for a thousand years men kept animals on that ground and built things out of the rock underneath it. The beauty under protection here was manufactured, slowly, by farming. Every wall in the view was put there by somebody doing precisely what the council has now determined is out of keeping.
They are not protecting the countryside from industry. They are protecting a picture of the countryside from the countryside.
The shed offended nobody while it held sheep.
It became an eyesore the day somebody put a till in it.
Four men who were arrested at Dublin airport for alleged breaches of Sec 11 of the Immigration Act were bailed to Citywest today. They claimed asylum. Your department is facilitating the same chaos on a smaller scale.
