Oh I would say there are at least 30-40 people who know exactly who is responsible for it and that's excluding those who are responsible.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Her campaign tagline might as well be "Remember Mary McAleese? I know her!"

Just being from NI isn't enough to claim you know how to unite people. Especially when you've got ties with the Orange Order

Fairly doomed in terms of surgical intervention and they can enjoy a nurse care ratio of around 1 nurse to 100 patients.

It's such a clearly targeted lie too, it's designed to combat the usual list of benefits of immigration at the top of which is that the HSE would collapse overnight if we lost the international expertise

I saw someone on a forum recently say that the reason the HSE is propped up by immigrants is because they are cheap labour. It's literally a public salary scale like. Every nurse gets paid the exact same whether they trained in Pakistan or Portlaoise. Where did they hear this lie from?

Have just seen a post on X featuring a screenshot of a house share offer in Kerry, digitally altered to say “No Irish”. The actual ad can be found online easily and of course says no such thing, but the target audience hasn’t checked and is reacting predictably.

This will only get worse.

Absolutely wanton fuckery here. I'm looking forward to the inevitable "there's nothing anyone can do" response from Coillte, the gardaí, and anyone else who ought to be hunting these pricks down and reducing them to penury.
