Honestly, until like the 1970s or 1980s, people have held the attitude that adult men having sex with teenagers is "normal" and "biologically wired." They still believe it, they just learned to stop talking about it openly at some point.
Conservatives when it's a 15 year old in library; "These are children and I can't believe we are letting them read smut like Twilight!!!"
Conservatives when it's a 15 year old sex trafficking victim; "Looks, these people are practically legal. Barely legal even"

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

The whole point of the slagging is to be the wee man in the chariot reminding caesar he is still mortal. Galway is so good we have to keep reminding it it's still just a damp fishing village at the end of the day.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

For anyone who doesn't know; Ireland's co-governing party began its existence as the Blueshirts, a quasi-fascist org modelled on the Blackshirts and the Brownshirts. When Simon Harris demonises migrants, he's just being true to his roots.

In that case it's a fact, in my view, that Simon Harris is partially responsible for someone trying to burn kids alive last week.

Tánaiste Simon Harris has said it was a “dog whistle” for those in the Social Democrats to compare him to Nigel Farage.
He said other political parties are calling him names 'for stating a fact, in my view, that migration has risen at too high a rate'. jrnl.ie/6866587

- Made a hames of economic development
- Bankrupted the country 3 times in 3 generations
- Handed keys of the state to the IMF, EU and ECB

They didn't just stop building public housing, they sold off the existing stock at significant discounts, didn't replace it and used the proceeds to fund other public spending.
IIRC, John Bruton was a great advocate of this act of Hibernothatcherite vandalism.

The housing crisis in Ireland dates back to the 1980’s when the Government stopped building public housing, and failed to reform the private rental sector. This was at a time of massive emigration. Blaming recent immigrants for housing problems is as logical as blaming moving statues. #SpéirGhorm
