    Absolute animals. Can we not just make a law thats 10 years in prison for participating in a sulky race on a public road. Would reduce crime all round.

    Came across one a few Sundays ago blocking the N3 in earlyish morning (around 8am). Was going to post footage but they had lads hanging out of BMW’s recording on phones it so I was afraid they’d pick my car from it if I did. They’d a few of the slip roads blocked off and all.

    Horses don't belong anywhere near an urban environment. It's a f*cking disgrace that this is still allowed in 2020. "Culture" is nothing but an excuse to justify something that is unjustifiable. There are parts of the world where their "culture" still views women as objects ffs. F*ck culture.

    Hilarious part is these people are extremely well educated but you would swear they were as dumb as them 2 off dumb and dumber.....

    It's their culture boss.

    For what it's worth the same thing has been going on for years down this neck of the woods. Usually around dawn on a Sunday morning, they block or slow traffic to a standstill so they can have their sulky races. Large sums of cash being bet on these races too as well as the usual clanish caveman type beating of the chest bragging. In most cases the Gardai chose their battles and would rather setup a speed trap somewhere else than deal with being accused in the media of discrimination against an ethnic minority.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
