No penalties issued to property owners who failed to pay vacant homes tax!

Given how weak Govt has made the Vacant Home Tax why should we think the Derelict Sites Tax will be any better?

Govt is all talk & no action on tackling vacancy & dereliction.

Trump: China is rigging the elections.

Hillary: Russia is rigging the elections.

Reality: U.S. corporations and U.S. billionaires are rigging the elections by buying off and bribing both parties to ensure they win every election and the people lose every election.

Of course Trump isn't that different to FFG when it comes to nature, to all of these capitalists, nature is just a resource to be exploited, looted and ransacked, nothing more.

NATO Chief Mark Rutte:

'We are defensive; we will never attack anyone. We will only defend our way of life, our democracies, and our territory. So don't fool with us. Don't play with us.'

Rutte seems to have forgotten history. NATO bombed Yugoslavia, fought a 20-year war in Afghanistan, and intervened militarily in Libya. Was it all defence?

That same propaganda narrative is now being used to justify continued support for a Ukraine proxy war against Russia.

This is properly insane: quite literally the worst example of censorship I've ever heard of anywhere.

I checked the actual ruling (which you can see here: https://t.co/dBKFWZ2ZWm) and, to be clear, it isn't just censorship in the conventional sense - blocking access to a website or removing content from platforms - this is the criminalization of information relayed by private citizens, with prison sentences attached.

And the most insane aspect if that it does NOT matter if the information relayed is accurate or not. It just matters that it originates from RT or other media outlets banned in the EU.

In other words, truth isn't a defense anymore in the EU, it literally doesn't matter. It's purely based on the identity of the speaker.

The ruling is actually explicit about this: the regulation, quoted by the Court says that the prohibition applies to "any content," and they draw no distinction based on what the content actually says. If it originates from banned outlets, it's banned.

It is, quite simply, a complete unraveling of the entire post-Enlightenment legal and philosophical project where entire generations of Europeans fought to move from "who says it" to "is it true" as the operative question.

Think about the absurdity of it: if RT publishes a video saying the sky is blue and you share it on a publicly accessible website in the EU, you'd fall within the scope of this ruling, making you liable to criminal prosecution.

Completely and utterly absurd. But that's the EU today for you 🤷

When did @fiannafailparty start prioritising the interests of the Military Industrial Complex before those of the Irish people..? They've always taken best care of an Elite that take good care of them, but is this the 'New Way Forward' for Fianna Fail..?

He’s at it again. Blaming everyone else for his Govt’s failures…

15 years of FG housing policy & what do we get from Harris?

Rehashed announcements, half measures & blaming Councils.

Taking tough on dereliction is not the same as acting tough & people see this! 🤬
