One wonders too if you think being on SW is so great that you bother. Nothing's stopping you claiming your stamps. Off you go. Get your free house while you're at it. 🙄
No thanks, because I’m not a lazy shite that believes in sponging off the Labour of others. I believe in working. Despite all. Sadly, there are plenty that don’t share that view and the system handsomely rewards them.
If yuh can’t afford a house then it don’t have an underling of kids that you cant support. Sadly, our over generous welfare system and it’s cheerleaders result in the opposite effect. Housing is no way a “right” that others must pay for you.
...do some boards users actually get off on this stuff, this must be their version of porn!
....once again, should child baring and raring be only confined to wealthier classes(ahem: eugenics!)
...once again, generous welfare!(of which was urgently almost doubled during covid!)
...once again, most money of the lower classes is actually spent directly into the economy, in order to provide needs, higher classes spend less of their income, choosing to save more, primarily in the value of assets such as property, which in turn helps to push up the price of such assets!
...once again, 'security of accommodation' is in fact a critical human need, and can be traced back to the caveman!
I'm not getting into a spat and SW Bashing, there's enough threads for that but seriously to describe our SW system being overly generous is absurd, it may be adequate but not overly generous, yes a small cohort milk the system and that's disgraceful.
The harsh reality is the vast majority on a Welfare payment get the bare Minimum and are entitled to litte extra supports. Illness and Disability payments are not in the slightest bit generous and whilst many pensioners may have additional income, more don't.
The cost of living crisis is not just affecting SW recepients its affecting anyone on low incomes.
I don't pretend to have the answers but if someone is on a low fixed income, wherever that income comes from, they are in a real struggle as are higher income families with substantial mortgages, Child care, educational costs.
There currently is nowhere in legislation that entitles any one to a House, reasonable accommodation /Shelter perhaps but not a House.
To be fair, the British state media pointing the finger at Ireland re : Russian dirty money is a bit rich (pardon the pun).
Why are the BBC suddenly referring to “Ireland” when it suits them, then it is NI/UK at other times?
I’d tell them to f€&k off as well
I don't honestly believe this has anything whatsoever to do with the British state pointing fingers at the Irish .
It is infact Russian Dirty Money , Funds being lodged into and Irish Bank account and Irish based Development company , Selling properties to Dubious Russians in Montenegro certainly does require scrutiny.
The story was not entirely based on the Irish connection, the Journalist (actually Irish) was following the money Trail, I saw no "Political ' dimension to this story whatsoever , infact its the last thing that crossed my mind.
I wouldnt normally link such a rag but this is remarkable.
Irish Govt: we have done all we can
Real Life: Bullshit as per usual
Because the anecdotes you hear about welfare are undefined, incalculable and generally made up to deflect from something else. That said, as more and more working people need state assistance to function, you might have a point.
We know about this, but while you can claim people are 'okay with Ukrainians being raped and killed' and certain parties and politicians support Putin, you can't suggest Irish politicians could be involved in this, even if you don't name any parties.
But we'll use tax payer money if they need a dig out.
I genuinely and naively thought that we already had some protection in place to stop those sort of price hikes happening on such a large scale, and so close to each other. Was quite surprised to find out that we didn't.
A survey of any party would lead some posters to conclude that they can only think of 2-3 competent people in those parties.
O dear , FG TD's picking on poor Eamonn Ryan again
Yeah but anything any minister says can be withdrawn or watered down, if enough seats look shakey. Eamon stands for nothing really.
Touts list with no context to pat himself on the back, gets hammered as the public point out the context.
Double payment of an ‘autumn bonus’ on the way for pensioners and social welfare recipients
Is this the kind of thing we get warned about if the opposition get in? Populist giveaways to the welfare class? Especially after less than a week ago telling us to wait 'till October?
Do FF/FG/Green just see which way the wind is blowing and act accordingly?
Lol , not quite the Reaction Leo was expecting 😅
The mirroring of the FG twitterverse and the pro FG boardsies, who don't cotton to no twitter, is astonishing.
Odd that Mr Varadkar uses an Irrelevant platform used by cranks according the FG posters.
"gets hammered as the public bots point out the context"
Let me fix that for you
Not hard to id bot accounts and there are very few of them on that tweet. Nice try though.
Indeed and curiously not to many Leo supporters tweeting in his defence, last time I checked 🤔
Nice try exactly but the day anyone look at the reactions on Twitter as relevant has long long gone.
The abuse dished out online by the mob stops any interaction
I see one person did ask a clarification and was called “blueshirt”
Riddled with bots
reactions that are in line with how FG are doing in the polls. Time you started seeing the relevance.
Gosh, we're have you been we've missed you terribly 🤔 did the mention of Leo and Twitter recharge your energy.
Most of the responses I saw were not infact abusive at all, perhaps some sarcasm, home Truths like the Youth being able to afford homes or the Youth in low skilled, poorly paid jobs.
You talk about Bots, I personally didn't see any but also didn't see much of the usual adoration of Leo. He seems not only to be loosing his Touch politically but also on Social media. Its a tragic demise and I sympathise honestly but let's be honest, it's not before time 😉
Why does Mr Varadkar use this none relevant platform ? It's confusing is he out of touch He must know he's not reaching anyone ?
'Bots' are people he disagrees with.
Very strange behaviour posting on a platform that is not relevant. Varadkar is not the only one so can someone explain why they do this?
