its all wanking, just using different tools

When asking the lads to get to work at work, I do enjoy utilising the phrase "wanking spanners".
As in, their hands.

Unpopular opinion.
You have (or should be) to be able to say what's actually going on, without people calling you racist for it.
There's so many people out there policing the speech of absolutely everyone for even shades of objectionable words. Like they're doing the world a favour. And they're not.

I'm inclined to agree with you in general on the policing of language, but whether or not the guy who killed Ashling Murphy is a burden on the state is surely irrelevant. He murdered someone in cold blood and he's also a deadbeat? Like who gives a shit about the deadbeat part? Did he also not buy his round?

(... not that I'd really condemn the boyfriend for what he said, poor fucker is probably out of his mind with grief)

I don't think he was calling him a deadbeat, more that Ireland had been welcoming and supportive of him and he repaid his adoptive country with death and violence.
Saying that the guy had every shot here and that it makes him even more of a scumbag for what he did.
Not sure adding 'ungrateful' to his list of crimes is really gonna hit home, but when you truly despise someone, you go after every area of their character.
Dude's been through the ringer, like you said.

you know this, how?

Huh?
Same as anyone knows anything about this case, I read about it
He had a whole network of friends and family
he got work and he got a house
Got to start a whole new life.
It's a golden ticket next to what most immigrants and refugees get.

do you know what the experience of being a foreigner in this country is like?

when you say easier, I presume you are referring to those in direct provision.

but, speaking from being very close to this subject, the casual racism non-Irish have to put up with on a daily basis, is fucking horrendous.

so yes, maybe he had it better than someone who has to live off 1 euro a week, but I doubt it was any picnic either.

apologies, I thought you were Irish.

 

[rettucs]

its a bit of a sensitive subject for me cos I see what the missus has to put up with from day to day

 

[Deadmanposting]

apologies, I thought you were Irish.

I'm a lot of things. Apology accepted.

I've got a lot of life experience in this realm.
Can I have an opinion now?

The people who were raging about someone singing at the McGowan funeral were very quiet about someone who covered up for and moved around his child-abusing brother doing a reading.

It was mostly social media outrage along the lines of "I can't believe we still let Hansard be a public person"

what did glen 'allegedly' do??

when I saw it first it was going to be directed to Nick C, given his defense of playing in Israel in the past...

He's been long rumoured to favour inappropriate age gaps.
