To be honest I just assumed the DUP were trying their hand at this old trolling lark that the Shinners use to such good effect. I think people taking it seriously is an indication that there are still people around who manage to live their lives without ever talking to people from different backgrounds to their own.

You do get the odd nutter though, for whom reality and logic are distant planets. They will feel right at home with the DUP I would imagine.

A DUP TD probably wouldn't be that much worse than the Healy-Raes to be fair. Probably just as backward socially, but maybe slightly less corrupt.

I suppose the defence forces are mostly visible here for assisting with weather emergencies. They do international stuff (e.g. Golan Heights) but it's all administered by the UN.

He was likely in protective custody and it was a federal prison. I don't know if it was maximum security but I doubt the bollox faced much hardship in the few months he was there awaiting extradition.

https://gcn.ie/teen-released-without-charge-throwing-brick-pantibar/ jfc quote:At 10.37 pm, the poster wrote: “About to commit a hate crime lads it involves a stone and some piteoga wish me luck xxx”. At 10.43 pm they wrote: “There’s a lot of faggots and bouncers here actually not sure if I have the bollocks to chuck it.” At 10:52 pm: “Jesus Christ there’s about 100 people outside, I could make a clean getaway if I didn’t think I’d freeze up.” I was drinking outside Nealons across the street till sometime between 10:30 and 11. Wish I'd been around when the prick did this. It's almost bizarre seeing so much right-wing poo poo like this in Ireland, but you can see how much it's festering on places like 4chan.

It really does highlight how stupid it is to not have hate crime legislation, when you have gombeen hikikomori guys like this young fella literally posting "gonna do a hate crime" , then doing a hate crime, and that's given no legal weight. Would loving love to have been walking past and tackle this lad into the tarmac though

So it's not really Irish politics, but in case anyone missed it, this week Paddy Cosgrave: - Announced that Marine Le Pen was a speaker at his Tech Bro conference - Wrote a blog post defending the above when there was a lot of backlash to it - Today he has walked back the decision because of said backlash https://twitter.com/philipoconnor/status/1029697316125597697

https://twitter.com/IrishTimes/status/1031789014011924480?s=19 After months of rumour about back room discussions and nods and winks a full merger may be back on the cards soon. Look forward to telling the FF canvassers to gently caress off. Realistically though there's a chance more Labour aligned elements of the party won't agree to this so we might always get a little rump left leaning party that should be good for a few councillors or maybe even an MLA

Depends on the names that would come along rather than policy (and of course FF might not be as Unionist/Alliance transfer friendly as the SDLP currently are, which could be to the benefit of any rump)

This seems like a very strange marriage considering how split FF was over the 8th ref. It feels like they're swinging (or just staying) more right. Like, outside of wanting a united Ireland, I just don't see how the politics of both parties mesh. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Aug 21, 2018 |

FF are more truly centrist than FG. Good to the rich and the middle classes, throw crumbs to the poor. They'll align with anyone to go into power, maybe even the DUP.

Yeah but FG are seeing what way the wind is blowing, and socially are leaning more to the left. You can see that with people digging up videos from 10 years ago of Leo etc being anti-LGBT rights and anti-abortion etc. At the time, it made them more popular with their base to be against those social changes. Now it makes them more popular to be in favour of them. With FF though they don't seem to have copped onto that change, or they're clinging too tightly to their actual beliefs to roll with the change.
