Winston Churchill, Trump's hero sent the Black and tans into Ireland to create mayhem One of their commanding officers General Gerald Smith addressed the assembleded Tans
"Should the order "Hands Up" not be immediately obeyed, shoot and shoot with effect. If the persons approaching a patrol carry their hands in their pockets, or are in any way suspicious looking, shoot them down. You may make mistakes occasionally and innocent persons may be shot, but that cannot be helped, and you are bound to get the right parties some time.
The more you shoot, the better I will like you, and I assure you no policeman will get into trouble for shooting any man' ...
ICE are modern day Brownshirts or Black & Tans. With a glove compartment stuffed with toys, Renee Nicole Good was shot in the face. She'd visited NI on youth missions. Yet our religious parties are silent on this brutal execution of a young Christian woman

Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.

@TMB_Barcelona I'm in Barcelona for a few days and a charge appeared on my card from your company yesterday. I didn't use your company at all yesterday. It's for €13.60? See attached
@IrishRail hi there. I'm looking to travel from Dublin to Limerick at 9pm on 12 October on my free travel pass, however there is a charge of €8.70? I understand the €2.50 one but not this? Screenshot attached.
Today we pause to remember our friend and colleague, Des Fitzgerald on his third anniversary.
His absence is still felt, however, the memories and stories of the times we shared with Des live on.
Elaine, Lynn, Eoin, Aisling and all of Des’s family are very much in our thoughts.
@Buseireann Why is the real time information gone from bus stop 608571 in Limerick? It was always updated on the tfi app. They say it's your issue not providing the information
