I'm bored so I'm going to tell you a story. Way back in the mists of time (late 70's), PAYE workers held some of the most militant strikes ever seen in Ireland. They demand a more equitable taxation system for workers. Workers paid income tax through the Pay As >

Coming back to this thread tonight. I wanted to be 100% sure I had the document to prove that the TUG misled the committee. I'll be sharing it on here with this thread. Squeaky bum time @NUJofficial
On the 8th of July, the Media Committee had representatives from the @NUJofficial and the TUG (Trade Union Group) in at the committee where @aosnodaigh and @EvanneNiC asked questions about @RTE's bogus self employment. tortoiseshack.ie/1478-rte-point… patreon.com/posts/patron-e…
The EU’s international reputation is in ruins. Any pretence of being a liberal, human-rights–driven, law-respecting body is now laughable. History will be unforgiving to those who enabled Israel's brutal genocide. euobserver.com/EU%20&%20the%2…

I am terrified of Zohran Mamdani's radical plan to make NY buses free. This could have the same catastrophic effect as when Rudy Giuliani made the Staten Island Ferry free in 1997.

One of the crazier FOI decisions of late (though they're becoming ever more frequent). Irish Prison Service redact the name of the governor of Mountjoy from records on the basis it could endanger life or safety. Meanwhile, his name (and photo) is on their official website!…
In a country of highly educated grown-ass adults, capable of making adult decisions, capable of paying the highest rents in the EU, that a question like this even arises exposes the 'Power' landlords are given over one's life.

We could nationalise water for £20 – here’s how youtu.be/tnqPZNNx_rY?si… English water companies are financially broken. So why is Labour ruling out nationalisation? They say it would cost too much. That's wrong. It could cost less than a round of drinks.
