Hot take maybe but I actually don’t give a shit about benefit fraud.
I give a shit about multimillionaires and billionaires existing and not paying tax on their actual wealth.

If you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm
I would rather 50 people got benefits they didn't need than 1 went without food or shelter.

* Astronauts in space have never eaten the product known as "astronaut ice cream." It's too crumbly and dangerous (you need to keep flying bits to an absolute minimum in zero-gravity with all those sensitive instruments around). "Astronaut ice cream" was created to sell in gift shops. Really.

* You know how Van Halen had a contract rider demanding bowls of M&Ms with the brown ones removed?
They later claimed that was all a test to make sure venues were reading their contracts. Clever!
BUT WAIT, that claim itself is actually false. I fact-checked it.

I miss when Twitter was truly great like the time a guy got upset at someone calling out a cricket team and started explaining how bowling worked and at the end OP was like "thanks for explaining btw I hold the world record for most career outs in cricket history"

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been cleared of harassing a transgender activist, but was found guilty of criminal damage to her mobile phone.

A lot of things have happened over the last decade and one of the biggest is how many 'progressives' have revealed themselves to be perfectly fine with racism and transphobia.
All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.
It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game

Scenes at the Dublin City Council budget meeting last night. The histrionics from the ruling group betray their guilty consciences. I’ll also note that champion of the working class Mannix Flynn went missing during the vote, meaning the ruling group won 31-30. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
