    But the difference is she isn't homeless.

    She has never not had a roof over her hair.

    She was looking to spend €10k on a car and had a caravan where she then also put this up for sale.

    She never contributed her part of the rent for the hap scheme and is an even better situation now as when she is given an actual house which will have to be quite big with the football team in tow.

    She won't have to pay a cent in rent, bins will be collected( no charge)

    Among many other benefits and reliefs for doing shag all but shag.

    She will have to pay for her bins same as everyone else.

    Like how can you reason with someone who says the state is robbing them alive when it's literally doing the opposite.

    Come to think of it I can't recall this case coming up in court yet

    TRESPASSING ARREST Homeless mum Margaret Cash tells how she was arrested after trying to live in caravan in abandoned yard

    Margaret and her kids made international headlines this week after she released photos of her family having to sleep overnight on hard chairs in a Garda station

    Ms Cash, from Tallaght, said: “I bought a caravan when I first became homeless, in the month of September. Most of my family help me pay for it.

    “I moved into the caravan in Tallaght but the Garda were moving us round from one place to another place.

    “The guards wouldn’t let us stay anywhere. We were moving from camp to camp, we were staying on the side of the road, and they were telling us to move off everywhere that we went.

    “Eventually I ended up getting arrested, down in the caravan and I got done for breaking and entering to an abandoned place and putting a caravan in.”

    Margaret — who said she has been on the housing list for 11 years — insists she should have been allowed to stay in the caravan instead of being lifted.

    She said: “They done me for trespassing because we went into an old abandoned yard, an old abandoned yard that hadn’t been used for ages and ages.

    “The Garda were coming along and moving us from camp to camp. And we asked the council could we move the caravan into a halting site and they said no. So what can you do? I tried to get a house but it was just impossible.”

    Margaret said she was forced to get rid of the caravan and has been living in emergency accommodation ever since.

    Can you find the post about €10k for the car?

    Oh right, so correcting someone’s grammar is misogyny now?

    Riiiiight...

    Obviously not, I was replying to this point made by another poster -

    Her writing deserves to be criticised - not only is it atrocious but it's full of venom. Slating the government that provides her with so much. What about her hostile, aggressive, criminal behaviour?


    when I posted this -

    I was referring to cruel criticism of her grammar and spelling not the content of her messages.


    Sorry for any confusion caused by my clumsy construction.

    so what misogyny has there been on this thread?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,898 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    There are clearly people in need of accommodation and support.
    Those people should be helped as best the state can (and lets be clear they could do better).
    I would urge people to watch the film Rosie, I know it is a film but it is hugely believable.
    When I was growing up we didnt have much, but my parents worked their @rses off, including my dad working abroad for 15+ years and my mum juggling two kids while training as a nurse they did whatever they possibly could to support us.

    But there are also people like Margaret Cash, who have never worked a day in their life and are clearly not doing anything to try and improve their life or that of their kids. The amount of money going down the drain is astonishing.

    I have not followed all this thread I just call in now and again and almost every time I do I see it.
    I won't go back and repeat some of the nasty disgusting examples of misogyny that I have seen.
    Not because I can't but because I don't want to be associated with that sort of thing.

    Not even one example? Because i have been following this thread and i haven't seen it. I have seen plenty of criticism of a woman but that is not misogyny.

    The problem is that those who didn't finish school, and have never worked or paid taxes, often wind up in a better position than those who have tried to play by the rules. Many children growing up are told to study hard, get good grades, go to college, and get a job. By the age of 28, many of them are on circa €30k before tax, stuck in a house share or living with their parents, unable to afford homes and families of their own.

    Then you have Margaret Cash, who dropped out of school at 12, got married at 15, and by age 28 has 7 kids, €50k a year tax-free, and is well on her way to her free foreva home. And she never plans to work a day in her life or even express gratitude for everything the Irish state has done for her.

    How is that a "fair society"?

    If there are so many examples what is the difficult in quoting just one post? If you think there is misogyny here then do something positive instead of just whinging about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,482 ✭✭✭Gimme A Pound


    I don't even think "Would you ride her?" is misogyny - it's stupid and classless but not woman-hating. And she's not exactly classy either.

    Awful things were being said here about a hard-working, perfectly well presented broadcast journalist recently - just for the sake of throwing venom at a woman that they're jealous of for doing so well. That's misogyny.

    Oh my cousin's husband has to work in the UK now because his farm is in trouble and the only work he can get is with a friend in London, while she's here also working full time and with three young children. It's enraging. :mad:

    Some random guy who wanted to talk to the family and ask if that's what their parents raised them to do. He's better off that he didn't get to speak to them.

    Also entitlement culture really shown by the travellers saying that cleaning up the mess was the council's job.
    That guy is a fool. He was going to start an argument. What he would've got was a beating.

    That makes a unicorn look positively commonplace.

    Makes false claims about misogyny.
    Gets called out on it and is asked for example.
    Refuses to back up claims.
    Offers to ‘agree to disagree’ because claims were BS.
    Still won’t back up claims.

    Next step: ‘I’m outta here!’?

    I can't be responsible for educating people on here.
    If anyone who has been following this thread can't see misogyny directed against M Cash nothing I can post will convince them.

    Your spending choices say otherwise Margaret.. Would hardly be spending €80 on some dodgy Facebook lottery tickets for a 7% chance of winning 4 gypsy bride doll ornaments only a couple of days back if you're barely making ends meet.
