This government is so bereft of ideas and energy it'll seize on any proposal from a right-wing think-tank which makes it look like it's doing something.
That makes it very dangerous.

Would watch!

We can't do affordable houses or anything useful so how about some juicy CCTV?

Cairns raises Dublin 2 office conversion housing up to 22 people with Taoiseach Housing dominated much of the debate in Leinster House this afternoon.

His back against the wall and faced with actual facts about the conditions humans are living in in this city under his watch he resorts to belittling and slandering.

Underfuckingstatement of the Year #SpeirGorm

I don't want civil incredulity from the opposition on this. I want fire and brimstone rage. I want to hear unparliamentary language hurled at the scumbags enabling it.
We're well past the line in the sand where we should have said no more. This is madness #spéirgorm

The shed housing plan is the ultimate example of the governing Irish political ideology that everything must be set up for someone to make money from it.
Here's a national crisis being converted into an opportunity for people who're unaffected by it to screw money out of those who are.
A new low.

With no disrespect at all to Deputy Nash here, the minutae of the proposal are not the problem. The very idea is outrageous.
Creating a backyard slumlord industry is a preposterous and violently damaging idea that will do generational harm to people, infrastructure, and our country. #spéirgorm

Bed in a Shed. Love it!

FF/FG will actually think this is a vote winner.
A nice bonus for their core voters. The new SSIAs.

With the exciting news of the "bed in a shed" scam—sorry, scheme—the ILT is moving its offices to the pigsty out back. Our old office is now a "luxury apartment" (5-star: look through the hole in the roof and you'll see five stars). Luckily, the pig has agreed to stay on as Editor-in-Chief.

A house is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

TACO

I’m glad that the Mad King isn’t going to commit war crimes right now, while once again it is obvious this bumbling fool has no idea what he’s doing.

If the nickname I had acquired was “taco”, I would simply not set deadlines for tuesdays

Israel’s open-ended wars have eroded its security Binyamin Netanyahu has brought about a big shift in its defence doctrine

In recent years Israel’s conflicts have wreaked havoc and inflicted appalling suffering while sapping its own resources and damaging crucial alliances. This is not how Israeli leaders used to envisage warfare

1-0 to the bull.

Rectum? Damn near killed 'um

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

My modular home is 45m, but it’s not in the back of someone’s garden. They could be one good way of tackling the housing crisis, in a state run building programme of purpose built homes where tenants can live with autonomy, but not as overpriced sheds rammed into existing properties

Weird how seemingly everyone in and around power has some kind of investing connection to Epstein, I'm sure it's just a coincidence

If only they'd kept themselves to the genocide.

No enemy would ever think of infecting a whole army.
