@MartinCorryTD @arisroussinos You can actually visit that house. They get a grant which requires them to let people in a few days a year. There are a couple of houses to rent on the Island. Unique atmosphere as you are so close to Dublin but feel ight years away.

@Glenna_lynch @garrethmcdaid We should also remember that it is very easy to fight these fights as a politician. You can solve them with a click of a pen, announcing your new policy, getting the plaudits. But the real problems, housing, cost of living, infrastructure, are much harder to solve.

@fitzr1122 My sense of it is that no one famous is allowed to die any more. But I would welcome a deep dive by you into it. I tried to read the suicide note there but lost interest. I did confirm the presence of the famous Neil Young line at a point said to be Cobain's hand.

@fitzfromdublin Nuff of your willow warm shite!

@Glenna_lynch @YouTube You should run for office Glenna as you are very articulate, heartfelt and sensible which are unfortunately unusual qualities in people who maintain heterodox views.

@DavidWa06435675 @arisroussinos That is interesting. Last time I heard it was a drunk on bus who kept shouting "up the Free State" and "you wouldn't drink holy water" before being removed

I think its definitely a pejorative among unionists though

@fitzr1122 @fitzfromdublin But I agree, immigration may be a crime proxy in that poll. I also wonder how reliable polls are at all (although mainly people would be slow to say immigration for fear of being un PC, and would be quicker to say crime).

@fitzr1122 @fitzfromdublin The immigrant crime thing is mostly nonsense. I have throngs of immigrants in my area. Any fucker causing me difficulty has always been homegrown. I do think the media tone down some foreign crime for fear about populism but that's it.

@DrHughT I think I only realised how amazing it was after visiting the museum, saw a documentary on it that blew my mind. Will have to go back for sure.

@DrHughT I'd actually love to see a recreation of that, will stick a visit on the list for next time in Athens.

@fitzr1122 @jo_blog_ Absolute best possiblity of that campaign would have been home school maria getting doorstepped my home schooled Burkes for not being anti trans enough

@jo_blog_ @fitzr1122 I think it would have been unavoidable. Every single media debate would have honed in on it. Plus, it is functionally why people wanted her to run / would have voted for her, to have ago at mainstream ideology.

@jo_blog_ @fitzr1122 don't subscribe to IT, too establishment ;)

[Seeking @Seeking109]

@jo_blog_ @fitzr1122 interesting

[Seeking @Seeking109]

@jo_blog_ @fitzr1122 Yes but my point is that is significantly less than 10% of society. More like 2%.

@jo_blog_ @fitzr1122 I think McGuirks article on it may be pretty accurate.

Dont think shed have won btw, or anywhere close. Whatever about some bullshit badly drafted referendum,the centre would get out to reject any return to catholic values, gay marriage and abortion are what theyre most proud of

[Seeking @Seeking109]

@jo_blog_ @fitzr1122 I think religious belief would just about be tolerated, provided you didnt express it, and it wasn't overtly catholic. NCH overrated alas....
