@BladeoftheS People never get mad about anything unless there is someone there to tell them to get mad?
Interesting theory but I can't help thinking people get mad for reasons that are entirely their own.
@bjacollins@IrelandsFuture@irishborderpoll Immigration is good thing because GDP line goes up.
There is some collateral damage (beheadings and rapes) but it's a small price to pay for more material wealth.
Also food we can't make ourselves (the recipes are secret) delivered to your door is cool too.
@ClimateWarrior7 Elon Smaug sits atop a pile of inert gold that should be liberated and distributed to the most money savvy amongst us.
In one week all the money would be in cartel hands, they would buy cool cars with it thus supercharging the economy.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@Niall_Boylan It's a way of communicating with the "males" that have the bits intact that can produce a baby in a way that doesn't imply they are nuts.
They do this because they think affirmation saves lives (there is no evidence of this but who cares about evidence).
@JohnCleese The EU "needs" to absorb Ukraine or Russia will.
Not sure it's worth annoying the Russians about who gets to absorb Ukraine.
Apparently the people that make these decisions think otherwise.
Empires are cool. Except the Russian empire, that sucks. So says Cleese.
@davidyelland I dunno man, I think all the immigration has contributed more to the "loss of community" than people getting mad because the algo fed them a video once too often.
@imjustbrighton_ This is good optics?
Your glee at this scene says a lot.
The problem for you is while you are the majority in this particular instance, you are not in the greater scheme of things.
When the roles are reversed (and they will be) it will look horrific to you.
@unbowedheretic@makiyuusuke lol my hot take is why is this mini drama about people I never heard of talking about stuff I could hardly care less about on my timeline?
Caring about transphobia is stone age shit.
Very old fashioned behaviour from so called progressives.
Since Blair - 30 years ago - people voted against mass immigration.
Every election, they got up, got dressed, found a pilling station and voted to end mass immigration.
30 years they did that.
Nothing changed. In fact, it got worse.
So they organised marches and protests, and events and petitions and wrote to their MPs and tried every single thing they could legally, to tell the powers that be, that they wanted an end to mass immigration.
The state has deliberately ignored and removed all legal options from the British and Irish people to legally, peacefully, have their demands answered.
THEY, and nobody else, have created and caused division and riots and fury.
The toothpaste can not go back in the tube. We are where we are because, and only because, of 30 years of failed government.
@_JakubJanda The bauxite comes from Indonesia, gets turned into alumina in Aughinish, and then gets sent to Siberia to be turned into aluminium. That is then sold to multiple European countries, including... Ukraine via Turkey, apparently. Which bit of this would you like us to stop?
If you are shocked that the Govt buys houses for IPAS...
Then you obviously have never heard of a company called Dídean Dochas.
Its easily the best business model I have ever seen....all paid for by the Irish taxpayer:
1) Govt gives tens of millions to a private company
2) Company buys hundreds of houses across midlands
3) Company rents houses back to the State for IPAS
4) Company routes all profits to Isle of Man.
5) State doesn't even own the houses at the end of it all
6) Company's balance sheet worth €€€€€
6) CEO of Company is EDPetrol.
7) Vrooom Vrooom
@BBCNews If I was living illegally in a country and the cost of getting caught was to be sent to some other country I would at least find out what that country was like before deciding to risk staying.
How lazy or incurious can a person be?
@Toibin1 Regulated in what way?
Regulated to protect jobs?
Makes as much sense as regulating the use of any form of tech to "protect jobs".
None.
Should we regulate the use of excavators so there is more work for men with shovels?
