One of the most important things I've become woke about in the last few years is just how poo poo the Gardai are.

They need to be gutted at all management levels.

What will be interesting is when the current 18-30 generation hit 40-80.

The SocDems yesterday announced a bill which is aimed at preventing Landlords from kicking people out of their property and hiking the rent up.

https://twitter.com/SocDems/status/963358805592600576

Can't imagine it getting through the Dáil with the number of Landlords in there.

That won't fix the problem imo. It's a systemic issue so it requires, at the very least, a complete overhaul of the system. Either the state gets directly involved in the rental market or nothing will change.

It won't matter for me because my plan is to keep improving my German until I'm a qualified engineer and probably go live there. We did an exercise in one of my language classes where we looked at actual apartments in Berlin and pretend to be a broker. Some of them were literally like, 2 bedroom, 70m^2 and right near some major U-Bahn stations for like €600 a month.

This Seth guy on RTÉ1 radio is a complete clown. Actually used the phrase 'virtue signalling'...

Says Varadkar should try to appeal to Trump and the Trump voter. These are the people who lost the 13th safest republican seat to an Irish democrat. The US loving hate Trump, who gives a poo poo about pissing him and his ilk off.

Sounds like this will hurt Leo if evidence comes down the pipe later.

For party that has presided over a significant amount of austerity, a linear increase in homelessness and a linear increase in hospital crowding without doing anything; it's entirely unsurprising that they would interfere in a local authority matter to the beck and call of a foreign billionaire.

Never actually looked at all those failed constitutional amendments. There sure are some doozies in there...

2 attempts to change from STV to FPTP. (3rd & 4th) Another reason to hate that conservative/theocratic/patriarchal prick de Valera.

If people can say this stuff without being laughed off stage then I'm worried. Apparently the argument is that 'all the organs are there' at 12 weeks. No matter that the foetus isn't in any way viable outside the body at that point.

What the actual gently caress.

This Garda shooting story sounds pretty sketchy. He had a knife but RTÉ are reporting he was in a 'driver' at the time of the shooting.

Are we going to turn into the US where cops become judge, jury and executioner?

I've suspected for a while that the far-right/alt-right is lurking in the shadows of Ireland just waiting for a figure to mobilize them.

Angela Nagle probably has stuff to say about this, I should probably buy her book.
