I’d contend that Keeping the anti democratic FPP system intact s the biggest problem in the UK system. The level of DNV is disgraceful. It’s a result of decades of frustration where the vast majority of seats are sown up and there is little point voting. BTW Burnham just rejected introducing PR.

There were some interesting CSO stats on a feature I saw on Tuesday. Where could I look at that other than the Rte player?

@markcoughlan.bsky.social Hi Mark. Do Primetime post on any social media? They don’t seem to on any of the ones I’m on.

I think it’s one of the better buildings in the area. Many companies would be happy to have it as their home. It’s no where close to being as bad as Hawkins house. A truly sick building. On environmental grounds I’d say let DCC stay where they are.

Federer said exactly the same. As someone who played football from 6-35 and started tennis at 38 it 100% helps for positioning and foot movement.

That’s an unbelievably broad definition. You could almost find at least one aspect to fit every guy. I mean ‘annoying’ ‘condescending’ You could accuse literally any guy of those things. You could say a ‘reply guy’ is literally any guy who makes a reply the OP doesn’t like. Makes many keep Schtum.

BTW I deffo think I am a reply guy by that definition. I like bouncing off people but I also love to test/poke at people’s statements. The reason is to provoke a conversation or genuine learning but actually most people hate it. They just want people to rub their bellies. That bores me to death.

Eamonn Moran @eamonnmoran.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
So why aren’t they called after whatever TYPE of reply they are making? So if they make sarcastic comments why aren’t they not called sarcastic guy etc. Genuine question. I’m outside the loop. What type of behaviour do reply guys make other than replying? Is it cos they usually disagree with the OP?

I’m just telling you what she has previously said.

Eamonn Moran @eamonnmoran.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
In that case some people should probably reflect on using the term ‘reply guy’ A term used for men who have the audacity to reply to a comment. Such a stupid term.

It gets worse for Britain. If there is a united Ireland she said she’s moving back to England or Scotland.

He is clearly giving advice to someone he thinks is innocent. That may have been wrong but that doesn’t make him a monster. Do people understand why Epstein courted him and other intellectuals?

They absolutely would. In the 2020 election reform and the conservatives did deals.

But is she correct? A report I read earlier (I think RTE) said it was not currently illegal in Ireland to remaster (change) images. It is illegal to distribute or even threaten to distribute provocative images.

I’m left of centre. My daughter was born the year before this ref. So I spent some time in maternity wards. It absolutely was the case that heavily pregnant women were flying here to have babies and get Citizenship. They were a large % of the women in maternity wards. The referendum was required.

I don’t think Ireland should but apparently Greenland being in NATO might save them. House and Senate just passed bills to prevent Trump attacking a NATO member.

Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal is once again publishing propaganda on behalf of the fossil fuel industry, this time by printing pseudoscience.

@irishrainforest.bsky.social Dereliction is awful but 7 years ago my neighbour bought their house and never moved in and never rented it out. The whole urban back garden is now a forest and is home to hundreds of small birds. I’m constantly fighting it back but I love the noise the birds make.

I vehemently disagree with the focus of these people’s anger but I’m not going to pretend it’s not there or why they think as they do.

Eamonn Moran @eamonnmoran.bsky.social · 22/07/2025
That’s a fairly odd way of saying that people from socially disadvantaged areas are more likely to have a problem with migration. Reasons for that seem fairly obvious. When people from disadvantaged areas see a lack of investment in their areas but billions spent on IPAS centres it makes them angry.

It’s fairly shocking to me that 1/3 of Irish young people see renting for life as a viable option. I think that’s sad and a gateway to a return to feudalism.

I’d have thought a lack of trade would slo down the economy and reduce Carbon output.

Eamonn Moran @eamonnmoran.bsky.social · 29/03/2025
Perhaps it would help if I said the most densely populated areas and those that have added most to Carbon to the atmosphere are the developed western countries (ones with white people). Now can we address the issue? If Capitalism had merely doubled the population there wouldn’t be a problem.

Ask any South African or Brazilian and they will tell you it is increasing human demand for land that is destroying wild habitats.

Eamonn Moran @eamonnmoran.bsky.social · 27/03/2025
There is also another problem as people become less poor they eat more meat. The meat industry estimates beef demand to double between 2018 and 2030 not primarily due to extra population but average wealth is increasing in the developing world and they can afford meet.

Eamonn Moran @eamonnmoran.bsky.social · 27/03/2025
Presume for a second I’m not one of those racist types but instead one of those who see capitalism has increased the human population 8 fold in only 200 years when it was fairly flat for thousands of years. And it is this thing that is the main reason for our climate catastrophe.

It sets out in Words what this graph makes completely obvious. The only animals not in danger of extinction due to our activity are our food. At some stage it will become obvious that human population matters. Most conservationists can’t stomach that. ourworldindata.org/wild-mammals...
ourworldindata.org
Wild mammals make up only a few percent of the world’s mammals
Livestock make up 62% of the world’s mammal biomass; humans account for 34%; and wild mammals are just 4%.

Might u be over complicating this? I think it’s a power grab to make parliament less democratic. The plan was dreamt up by Lowry on the basis that there is no formal rule to stop the previously normal practice. Opposition are asking why the MM is bending over backwards? Simple. It suits him.
