That would be pretty funny. Lower taxes, less public spending, less government and all of the media class realising "hold on, this guy is like, far-right"

Brown bread, porridge, Irish stew, cabbage.
No mobile phones. You have to write a letter. *

Mandatory jail time for anyone who says "forever home" in relation to social housing.

It's a phrase I seen on a Facebook group which rehomes dogs and cats, when I first seen it used in the social housing context, I was thinking like feral animals so they are.

Because they are going to build a wall around the Pale and make Healy-Rae and Michael Lowery voters pay for it.

Ooh, this thread is hilarious. The perfect mix of piss-taking and people who genuinely can't recognise the implications of policy decisions or recognise that people are...what's it called? Human.

Anyway, here's my suggestion.

Build a wall. Make it 100m tall. Make it into kind of a rectangle shape. Make some horizontal wall bits at regular intervals. Divide into smaller sections. Put a roof on top. Fill with things like kitchens and couches. Lay funny little walls nearby that are really short and narrow but tens of km long and come in pairs spaced an even distance apart and have this funny moving wall-boxes that run on top. Build further series of walls nearby that have things like teachers and doctors inside (the doctors will be allowed out after spending less than 24 hours inside in one go). Repeat as needed.

Any takers?

Start a trade war, with the moon maybe. Build loads of walls, as they rock. Lock everybody up and let hilary free, oh, and make fake tan mandatory

circadian

So you're suggesting make Ireland orange again with the fake tan?

Agreed. Was watching Schindler's List the other week having not seen it for years. Struck me that the attitude of some people with far right views are still prevalent today with plenty of 'lock up em and throw away the key/put em all on an island somewhere' merchants actually believing and wishing for that.

Paint the external bits, put some pretty flower boxes in prominent spots and hide all the ****e out the back same as TidyTowns. That should do it ...

What about people who already have both? Does that mean they're already great?

Go back to having a game plan that works with the players we have available. Put 'em under pressure as Jackie used say.

Unroot Irish grannies wherever possible and get as good as we used to be at convincing players to play for Ireland.

Write catchy songs, no matter how unrealistic they may be (be optimistic about winning the World Cup and never getting beaten - it confuses the opposition).

Then we can get back to the glory days of Italia 90!

I think that sometimes the "lock em up" comments are less about having a large prison population and more about having a strong no messing attitude to crime so that it acts as an effective deterrent.
So, it might take generations to trickle down and change behaviors, or it might not at all but it feels like there is a lot minor crime that is "tolerated".

I'm sure at the end of the day, people want to be able to go about their business without dealing with scumbag behavior or the trickle down effects of it.
