    Many Irish journalists (particularly female journalists, Una M comes to mind) have written extensively about both the Ched Evans case and Ulster Rugby cases. They spat vitriol and indignation in every article. We should remember that in all likelyhood they were well aware of the case of the Nigerian footballer but chose to ignore it completely.

    Absolutely. Writers like Una are unashamed about ignoring stories when itll piss off their fanbase or go against their personal agendas if the perpetrator was held to the same standard

    Once again not a clue about economics. If you cut payments society will be far worse off.

    You say the rest of my rambling's dosen't warrant a reply. Of course you won't reply. You wouldn't want to be seen be against the HPV vaccine or against gay marriage or be on the side of a person who says there is a cure for cancer. By any chance do you believe in chemtrails?

    It's not about cutting payments it's about making them get jobs or they must work for their dole

    I do not subscribe to anything that but job preaches. I never said I did. Iv been just giving out about dole heads and nothing more.

    You are just making assumptions

    which people

    are you people

    are people being stopped talking about it

    this sounds serious

    Nobody is going to throw you in prison, not yet anyway. But people can be shut down by being afraid that expressing their views will affect their career, business etc.

    Costs him nothing. Not even a cent. It's free money paid by the taxpayer.

    Going back to your argument that unemployed pay tax. They don't. It's money given to them by the government going back to the government. Costs him nothing. He just gets free stuff out of it.
    Also free housing and healthcare.

    All shouldered by those who bother get up every day

    I think it's gas that people have this attitude, yet the loopholes that corporations use cost tax payers billions in euro, and they have no problem with that.

    In effect, taxpayers are paying for corporations to hire people for billions.

    People on the dole are small potatoes compared to how much corporations dodge taxes!

    People on the dole are small potatoes? Every dole head that doesn't want to do a tap wants the golden ticket that is the disability allowance. Its a fair portion of social welfare budget of 20bn. Also councils housing budgets, medical cards, homeless industry quangos etc etc.
    Sure, we can increase what corporations pay, but many will leave.

    Yes but it has been pointed out to you time and again that your suggestions are completely and utterly simplistic and and unworkable and sneeringly judgemental.

    Your nasty horrible smug superior sneering attitude would soon chsnge if you were made redundant but yeah you go on there and continue ranting without ever properly understanding the real world around you

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    We don’t have the most disabled workforce in europe for nathin.

    Its like the lottery, laze about till youre 25 on the dole, women - have 3-4 kids by then and a free gaf in dublin near your ma, men - have a crash for cash accident and get 15k into your greasy palm for whiplash and end up on disability for a ‘back injury’ ,

    Go to the bonus round and if your missus has a disabled kid because of non stop alcohol and drug abuse or smoking while preggers she can claim carers allowance forever.

    Double jeopardy - he claims to be living in his aunts gaf in a seaside area of wexford and after 10-12 years gets a nice apartment down there to use as a holiday home all the while she claims lone parents allowance. Bonus points if one of you can get a free travel pass .

    Added benefits :
    Immunity from fines as the court can only levy a 5er a week
    When you become an actual alcoholic from having all that time swilling cans to build a dependency that counts as a disability too.

    And people like me have to pay for it all

    Its amazing how you have people ranting and raving about how wonderful life is for people on the dole but when its suggested to them to give up everything to go on the dole if its so amazing and wonderful then suddenly their attitude changes. If they ever lost their jobs then their smug superior nasty hate filled attitudes would vastly change too.

    It would be like trying to get panda bears back on meat to bring that breed of genuine spongers back into work. I see them as being proportional to the productive part of society, they're just something we have to accept as part of large populations.

    It's being held in an escrow account, while the govt pays millions to legal types to argue in court, that we shouldn't be made accept what we're owed.

    I've seen previous ones, i don't think this one will be any diffetent from the shìte she has spouted previously.

    I'll tell you what, you watch it for us and bullet point all of the intellectual, factual and intetesting things she says and post them here.

    Eh no.

    And the use of American style spelling e.g. “weaponized” offends me even more. Why are ranters or conspiracy theorists always so bad at presentation, spelling and grammar?

    To be honest if she told me today is Wednesday I would check the calendar. I won't be listening to how a light sensor on top of an LED streetlight is shooting microwaves at me and into me.
