    1.

    Fix Rte, an organization That is literally hemorrhaging 10's of million every year in losses despite having, 1/5 billion licence fees, and 100s of millions in advertising revenue per year. If you can't fix Rte, how do you expect to fix the HSE

    Virgin Media said it believed RTE should be held accountable for losing €30 million in the last three years”, despite combined public and commercial revenues of more than €1 billion in this period.

    “Additional funding without any conditions is a reward for RTÉ’s s inefficiencies to the detriment of the independent broadcasting sector.”


    They have over 1000 staff. Tg4 have less than 80.

    Something is amiss

    If this was France,. There would be civilians marching upon the citadel of Montrose. Change would happen quick.

    2. Don't give permission for any more Starbucks or costa coffee shops, there are too many. This isn't New York or London. Can't an Irish company not be set up to make insipid coffee, and develop as a brand to be exported elsewhere.

    3.Put a green jersey on Declan rice, so we can go to a world cup again, raise the nation's spirits

    1 - An end to free movement and only allow those who we require and those without criminal convictions.

    2 - Slash SW budget

    3 - No "free houses" for life.

    4 - Travelers ethnic statues removed.

    5 - Have an actual legal system and remove all our weak judges.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭davidk1394


    Tougher laws on crime, murder, rape and all kinds of fraud.
    Updated laws on protecting yourself, family and home
    End this “entitlement” housing and hand outs
    Expand the boom out of the pale
    Don’t forget about rural Ireland
    Look after the people that keep Ireland moving and well e.g nurses, self employed, the middle classes
    Cut back on red tape for EVERYTHING

    Invade Iceland. Those bastards started the worldwide bust and, provided we could take them militarily, it could be a colony to send ex RTE people and Boards cranks like the Op to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭LeBash


    Step 1: make us great
    Step 2: undo step 1
    Step 3: repeat step 1 so it can be again

    Also Ireland was never great and such a status would not suit out disposition as we don't like to boast.
    If we could make Ireland Grand Again that would do.

    Well Harry doesn't do that sh*t for free I'll take as much as I could to remunerate meself and other overheads... . He's only free cause he doesn't know his arse from his poxy elbow. I get sh,t done. If I ran the country everyone would be rich. No f*ckin two ways about it bam, no questions asked.

    What would you want to invade a supermarket for ?
    Invade a fancy country like Holland or Florida.

    Make abortions illegal.

    Kidnap children born out of wedlock and put them in abusive institutions.

    Give all the power back to the paedophile protecting Catholic Church.

    Make homosexuality illegal.

    Put women back in the kitchens where they belong.

    Make divorce illegal.

    Ignore the suicide problem.

    Ignore the alcoholism problem.

    Allow physical harm as punishment in school

    The good ol days when Ireland was great.

    We should build a wall. Apparently that's a sure-fire way to make your country great again. No idea where we should build it though, I mean it's not like we have a border that people just pour through every day now, is it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 693 ✭✭✭The Satanist


    We need to build a wall. In a big rectangle. And within that wall, build a big ****in prison. Then reform the judiciary. By reform I mean fire most of the judges. Wipe the ****in scum away. Vote Satan 2020.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    10,000 New Prison Places
    Revamp on sentencing
    A ban on any minister getting a job with the EU/UN after working in government.
    A weekly Con-Air type plane to drop off failed asylum seekers to their home countries after their initial rejection.
    RTE disbanded
    Children's allowance capped at 2 children
    More power given to residents to motion to evict anti social neighbours.
    Less restrictions on the sale of alcohol + General relaxation on nanny state nonsense.

    Allow farthers to drink drive so they can rush home after a drunken night out to bate the wife and kids all designed to show them who's boss.

    Miniature Irish flags for some,
    Big black dildos for others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    I hear Barry O’Bama is free.

    That would be pretty funny. Lower taxes, less public spending, less government and all of the media class realising "hold on, this guy is like, far-right"

    Brown bread, porridge, Irish stew, cabbage.
    No mobile phones. You have to write a letter. *

    It's a phrase I seen on a Facebook group which rehomes dogs and cats, when I first seen it used in the social housing context, I was thinking like feral animals so they are.

    Because they are going to build a wall around the Pale and make Healy-Rae and Michael Lowery voters pay for it.

    Ooh, this thread is hilarious. The perfect mix of piss-taking and people who genuinely can't recognise the implications of policy decisions or recognise that people are...what's it called? Human.

    Anyway, here's my suggestion.

    Build a wall. Make it 100m tall. Make it into kind of a rectangle shape. Make some horizontal wall bits at regular intervals. Divide into smaller sections. Put a roof on top. Fill with things like kitchens and couches. Lay funny little walls nearby that are really short and narrow but tens of km long and come in pairs spaced an even distance apart and have this funny moving wall-boxes that run on top. Build further series of walls nearby that have things like teachers and doctors inside (the doctors will be allowed out after spending less than 24 hours inside in one go). Repeat as needed.

    Any takers?
