Fuel protest about prices

You weren't brave enough to fully commit and use the handle "Combat 18" or was it already taken on you?

lmao, ah yeah sure **** the country once you have your solar panels

Are you afraid of them, will they take yer jobs?

Oh, wait, they won't have to will they as they get their shiny new houses for free with car keys left for them in the letterboxes, or something like that that Facebook told you.

"Protest but don't cause any disruption" seems to view of a lot people here.

Aye that makes sense 😂

Bwahahaha. Thanks I needed a laugh.

This ones almost as funny as "Cant they just protest using one lane of the motorway".

Not on Facebook. Only go off what I see on a daily basis. But I'm sure "observations" are the primary weapon of racists and the Far Roish!

Overtaxing fuel is the best way of increasing the cost of living, Every commodity is affected by the cost of fuel. The government is too thick and stupid to realise this and it's time they were educated.

Public Servants are so well looked after that there's no incentive for them to work hard and be efficient, teachers only working half the year and now they're talking about burnout, you couldn't make it up

**** me, the protest is about the percentage of tax the government are taking on the price increases in fuel etc due to the war which they can reduce instantly like Spain did. that is in the governments control and that is what the protest is about, what happens in Iran no protest will change . also this protest is having more of an effect than anything the opposition will shout about

Ok but your post that I replied to mentioned nothing of that, just complaining about squandering the public purse.

I've 2 questions for you.

1. What taxes should be raised / introduced to cover the reduced intake if fuel tax is lowered / What public services should be defunded to balance the reduced tax take?
2. If fuel taxes are reduced now to buffer the increased oil prices should these taxes be reinstated once the oil prices reduce?

The 22c cut in duty would have cancelled out any increase in VAT surely?

Have you numbers to back up your claim?

These blockades are not the way to do business. The Trump sponsored war is difficult for all. I do hope farmers and haulage firms get some kind assistance but not under these populous blockades.

You're looking at lost tax revenue from lowering fuel tax, but ignoring the revenue lost when businesses close because their operating costs become unsustainable.

How do we replace that lost revenue?

This James Conway fella thinks he should be dictator of the country. The hubris is effing hilarious. He should at least learn to spell "Government" if he wants to be dictator.

Here's a statement from James Conway after he failed miserably as a candidate in the 2020 General Election, getting just 2.2% of the vote in Sligo-Leitrim.

According to Mr. Conway, the electorate are "imbeciles" and "cowards" who deserve to live in "financial turmoil" and "unequalled poverty".

God he's very self-important, isn't he? Fierce bang of Justin Barrett off him.

James Conway:

After seeing the exit polls nationally and locally the results it is clear I will not be elected so my duty is clear tell you all the truth. The Irish citizen is before all else a coward so fearful of change it will not even allow the opportunity for change without clinging to remnants of what is familiar. Too lazy to rise from its stuper [sic] to its feet to vote for a change, content to stay in the shackles of familiarity. Too uneducated in the ways of politics and philosophy to deliver itself to a brighter future, revolution ha! Irish people are no longer motivated to pick up a pencil let alone a gun. Over the next ten years you will see your rights of speech of free will and of commerce slowly eroded away and you will like it because the media will have pre programmed you to accept it. The next reccesiion [sic] is around the corner and you will accept that it is your own fault despite it not being. Poverty will be ever present for years to come because the whole system is designed on popularity instead of substance. 60% turnout people have fought and died for the right to vote and a bit of rain has meant 40% have not turned out. The future of Ireland is not bright it is a future of financial turmoil and unequalled poverty and the vast majority deserve no better because truth be told you've voted for it. Thank you for everyone who cast their ballot my way perhaps your eyes are open. Here's looking forward to months and years of giving out about the same people and the same system we have ushered in as usual. The country is insolvent and the pension funds are non existent and for the love of God don't come running to me when the realisation of reality dawns on all your eyes. Ireland has never been a Republic it has been handed from the English to the Catholic Church to the EU and now to the globalists. Well done you absolute shower of imbeciles. You have voted for no better and you certainly don't deserve it.

Regards,

James Conway

Here's Mr. Conway again, up in court for causing criminal damage to property. What a lovely fella he is.

And here he is AGAIN! A six month suspended sentence this time for assault.

Clearly these demonstrators are ONLY THE BEST PEOPLE.
