  2. You can tell they mean *business* when they start quoting a print-out of an act from the middle ages. Brings me back to the grand days of 2020 where you had the tin-hat in the UK brigade shouting about the Magna Carta and “common law” and all that rubbish.

  4. Thats the _English_ Bill of rights from 1688. It wasn’t even the United Kingdom back then – Ireland (and Scotland) had its own Parliament.

  6. It always amazes me how confident one can be while uttering pure nonsense. We live in a time where information is readily available, and still you have people making fundamental errorrs.

  8. I love these fucking freaks. God, imagine being this completely impervious to doubt or reason or reality. No job to go to, apparently, you just show up to whatever is happening and talk absolute horseshit with all the gravity and righteous confidence of a Martin Luther King speech. Just spraying full on word salad everywhere with pure, unalloyed conviction. Doesn’t matter what the protest is about either – all the world’s only a stage for you, the uniquely equipped Understander of Secret Things! You *alone* are the keeper of the arcane knowledge everyone needs!

    Might as well stand on up there and quote the iTunes terms and conditions to a crowd, in public, fully convinced you have the key to it all, basking in the attention of your beloved audience. Sure anything you’d *like* to be true, might as well be. It must feel like being Gandalf. Incredible.

  9. Did I just here somebody say you can’t be charged with the same offence twice?….

    So a bit like buy one get one free when it comes to murdering somebody for example?…

  10. Well much of our laws are UK legislation. Not saying they’re right or wrong, just that quoting UK legislation in Ireland can be relevant.

  13. Ok I know nothing about this stuff. Can someone explain to me in some detail how she is wrong here

    Also can you not be charged with the same law twice or is that just something this guy heard in a movie.

    Also the guy who says “fair play to ya” makes it sound like they were missing one piece of information to crack a case and this woman just cracked it for them.

  16. I’d be highly doubtful of anything these types trawl up. They’re the sort that cause a que in a n office because they’re trying to pay a bill with a turnip.

  18. “The elites don’t want you to know this but the ducks at the park are free you can take them home I have 458 ducks.” – this woman, Appointed Honoury Supreme Court Judge based on a Facebook poll

  19. We became a republic in 1937. Why are they using a bill of rights used by the people many of us despise today? It was also created before vehicles were invented so where’s your argument

  20. So most people supported locking down the entire world economy for two years. And apparently most people also support sanctioning the world largest energy exporter. Both of which have resulted in this and the cost of living crisis and inflation.

    I hate to break it to these plebs. But Actions have consequences. No such thing as a free lunch. You reap what you sow. What exactly do people expect?

    And before someone replies ‘lower taxes’ – that works to an extent on this particular issue. But even at that the tax money lost has to be made somewhere else to fill the gap. So you’re gonna have a cut in services if your gonna pursue this policy on a grand scale. And there’s probably little to no taxes to be cut on big hitters like electric or food anyway.

    And for the other standard response of ‘tax the rich’. Well. Sorry. But you’re politically retarded. And reality averse. The neo libs that run the entire western world didn’t make the bankers and the rich pay for the mess they themselves created in 2008. And somehow you think FFG/macron/ joe Biden/Boris Johnson etc are gonna tax them now to pay for your two year holiday of WFH. Haha fucking clowns. I got a bridge to sell you.

    You were told this would happen but you didn’t care. You though you could get a nice little holiday at home for a year or two and save granny in the process. All whilst sanctimoniously chastising anyone with a dissenting opinion or voiced concern.

    Well welcome to fucking reality. And this is just the start btw. The Russian gas is still flowing and the crops haven’t been planted yet. Nor the fertiliser sown. Fertiliser is up >100% this year alone. Guess who’s paying for the difference. That’s right. You. The pleb.

    And Everything I said is Harsh but true. You can comment and pass all the shite remarks you want down below. But I’m right. Demonstrably so. Prices have risen due to your/governments actions. And now the plebs (you and I) are paying for said actions. And they will continue to pay unless there’s a revolution of the proletariat on the horizon. Some how I don’t think so.

    Welcome to a prolonged period of reduced standard of living. And Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

  22. Reminds me of the aul one from requiem for a dream when she goes on a mad bender, wandering the streets aimlessly talking gibberish. Now I’m sad

  24. Off to a whopper of a start so. what are the odds that they wheel out the 1st Amendment tomorrow?

  30. This is why we need a permanent speakers corner …. kind of like a dog park for the social-media mentals. They also need to socialise and make a bit of noise, but it should be in a segregated area.

  31. I have had so many far to only irish bigots try quote British law to me to try make an argument.

    And not the realy old stuff that predates independence, but new British laws from the last 20 years.

  33. Older British laws were incorporated under Irish law once we became independent. So it isn’t unreasonable to think that this act is included. It also *may* contain relevant rights. But there could well be acts/legislation passed in the last 300 something years that override/modify such rights.

  36. “The Government of today has no right telling us how to live our live because the government of 200 years ago already did!”

  40. Its almost like she forgot that there is this little period of IRISH history that begins in 1688 with the arrival of a certain William fella.
