Alright. This is definitely a troll.

I am not suggesting they should be whipped. I am merely pointing out that if they were, then in all probability, many of those who say they can`t work, would work.

Just because someone says they can`t work does not mean they can`t work. If you whip them, I think you would be amazed how many suddenly develop the ability to work. Everyone can work, earn, contribute and benefit from their own labours instead of having to be totally dependent on others. If you place a quadriplegic in front of a bank of security monitors, with a mouth rod to tap a keyboard, they can perform a valuable function.

Only the wicket want to deprive the old and infirm of the very thing they most treasure, the right to work.

ya, zey need to learn that work makes you free.

'Abret mei frei' I might have the spelling wrong but there was a group in the 40's with that ideology. Didn't work out to well for humanity though.

That is actually a very good idea if it was actually applied in rehabilitating criminals. It is silly to say it is a bad idea because it was displayed at Auschwitz. At Auschwitz the people were not criminals and work did not set them free.

OP, why do you continue to live in Ireland when you think everything is wrong here? Why not move to these countries, like Rwanda, that you hold in such high esteem. You could work for next to nothing, have no support system in place, no fallback, dirt cheap goods and services and little or not tax to worry about!

I dont get it, if the value of sterling falls against the euro by 20% shouldn`t we be getting the UK products for 20% less?
WTF do Unilever think, that we are the most stupid people on the plant or what!

And another thing, Why do RTE and other news services don`t pick up on this instead of blindly shoving it down our throats.

Global Supply chains are not this easy.

Very few of products are originated fully within the UK and so the exchange rate benefits aren't accessible directly.

The only goods that have no cost of supply increases for the UK producer (under the weakened pound) are ones that are wholly indigenous. There are not many of them.

Shoving what down our throats, exactly?

Irony abounds. Mefeinism and jealousy will be the ruination of Ireland. Everyone should demand lower pay because Irish politicians have to be led, they need to be shown the way by an enlightened public.

By not affording things, people can force prices down. With no buyers, prices must fall.

Of course work makes you free, any internet troll, junior nazi, or spindoctor knows that.
