Positive if it bears out in the count.

Wouldn’t be the first time the two round system has worked to the disadvantage of the right in France.

last week molooly declared for renew in europe - which is essentially fianna fail. all the twitter crowd who thought he was going to change europe entirely based on his campaign went mad. kinda funny.

I'm curious to see how Roderic O'Gorman manages to juggle the ministry he has now, with being party leader.
I don't see it going well.

Went to my old secondary school, 2 years younger than me but I've no memory of him.

Leo also went and is a year older than me. One of the few not-white students was more noticeable.

Though of the past pupils Jedward might have the best politics.

So he's gay and now he's the leader of the green party.
The online trolls will have a field day.

They've been calling him a nonce for years.

ER has a really wide brief and also managed to be leader too.

Huh, my partner went to the same secondary school as them, so must be the same one as you too. He's 41 though.

I just had a snoop on facebook, I don't recall the name though I was very quiet when I was there I didn't talk to many people beyond the ones in my own year who I had to.

He transfered in TY so you might have gone and all by then.

I left in 98 so yeah, maybe a 1 year overlap if any. Though if he was there when Leo was then I was there too.

he's also the minister for integration/population replacement/letting the forints in to rape our jobs.

It's like a tripple whammy of online indignation

It's strange that the Sunday World is the paper here that sticks the boot into the far right the most.

Think there's a programme on RTE tonight about the 'new' councillors – half of them are racist shitheads.

Can’t find the right thread, but there was a discussion a while back on if migrants/non-irish are more involved in crime… based on prison population (and I know that’s not a conclusive measure of crime) it would seem not..
But lots of detail hidden in an aggregate figure like that

Actaully was driving home yesterday and heard this piece - I kinda thought it was one of the saddest pieces of environmental topic radio i've ever heard. Granted possibly they dragged in the doherty guy to play a role or something as the 'man on the street or whatever' but anywhoo roughly it goes like

Voice guy talks about how people basically have plastic in their balls now and this is a tiny intervention etc etc.
Doherty stooge goes deep on how this minor inconvenience/not inconvenience is a bit much for him, the man on the street.
At no point in the conversation would it be ok to point out that plastic bottles are very much in the 'wants' column and that you actually don't even the need the fucking things. Anywhoo this was a conversation between adults in 2024 where the anti plastic guy basically cant even mention that the things are fucking stupid from the outset, and blokey mcblokerson, secretely looking at pictures of jeremy clarkson under his desk while talking, is here to jeremy clarkson something that is basically a non discussion in terms of things your want to have in your balls.

and most of the comments were poor little old me has to rotate a fucking bottle. It's a very sad place to be when it's 'mild irritation vs. nanoplastic sperm'.

Tethered bottle caps 'make life that little bit more irritating'

Tethered bottle caps are part of an EU directive to harmonise single-use plastic drinks containers with a capacity of up to three litres
