    The bin companies are saying they'll have to put prices up because people aren't putting plastic bottles in the green bin anymore. So I pay extra for the bottles which is supposed to to stop me putting them in the green bin,which in turn makes the green bin more expensive. Sound.

    Everything is about money and this scheme is no different. The amount of bottles in the rejection bins in my local supermarkets stood out to me the other day.

    Give them to Mick and he can stick them in his green bin to keep the prices down. Everyones a winner.

    Its an abomination of a scheme,.

    Jesus that's awful news, two Romanians have already been charged with it. Not sure what the circumstances are.

    The French are an incredible political people,they've gone into wartime(,esque) deals between left and centre left parties to block the far right. It's a temporary plaster you'd feel but they've bought time to avoid the hard right coming in immediately and in politics anything can change in a few years and they've bought themselves that precious time!

    Been a fun day to say the least. The repercussions from the outage will be remembered for a long long time.

    Crowdstrike share price down almost 12%

    For last few years they have been buzz word in IT Security. Be the buzz word for how not to do it for years to come

    I'm not sure how asbestos works,but the Crown Paints factory in Coolock will have a lot of it in the roof,and if I was living in the area,I don't think I'd want it to be set on fire 3 days in a row.

    I have a feeling it’s not people from around the area who are behind the fires. Some people turning up at these all over the country. Agree with the right for local people to protest as engagement is not transparent and down right sneaky by the department however setting fire to private property should mean a lengthy jail term.

    Do you know what's funny? The Catholic Church abused and raped hundreds of thousands of women and children in this country, but not one church was burned. Even when we found out they were just moving paedo priests to other parishes where they could continue to abuse.

    But how in the name of fuck can people just walk onto that site and set it on fire? It's not like it wasn't fucking obvious what would happen,but the government did nothing to prevent it. I was sceptical that the government were intentionally using immigration as a wedge issue to help them electorally,but now I'm certain they are.

    They'd be better off rezoning it as a fire station at this stage!

    id guess they want to be famous, or remembered, but also want easy targets

    I hope this lad ends up in some offsite black prison for the rest of his life suffering each day

    That riot in Southend was absolutely vile. I hope every fascist gammon that was there gets at best locked up and at worse found out & named and shamed.

    The video of your man getting a rock in the head and a swift block to the balls was a small bit if comfort.

    I see the ‘Ireland is Full’ crowd up with the EDL and Loyalists in Belfast today for a protest. Things have gotten very confusing all of a sudden. Irish patriots aligning with groups who hate Ireland.
