One wrong move by government here, and you will see, at the very least, 250k Irish people descend on the capital in a blink. They must step down, there is no other way. [Irish fuel protest coming to a head]

They must step down, there is no other way.

I cannot see another way.

We have already heard the warning of using the army against its own people.

We have heard the threat that they will come for the protestors after the protest ends.

We have then seen the attempted character assassinations on the protest leaders.

None of this has worked an iota as every single person in this country, outside of the political paywall and even within, is wide awake to it.

These threats, as well as being pitiful, are now futile.

Where else do they think they are going here?

Government, you have no more moves.

You’re going nowhere but out I am afraid.

It is check mate. The gig is up.

I don’t condone it, I don’t call for it, just calling it as I see it.

Sláinte 🥃⚔️

In one of the other Irish protest articles, the protesters were trying to interrupt the functioning of the ONLY refinery in Ireland.

Perhaps if Ireland embraced hydrocarbons and refineries, they would have more energy.

Just a thought.

Time for the working people of Ireland, Britain and Europe to rise up and throw off these governments that are committing suicide by immigration. Do it now or it will never get done and you can say goodbye to your country.

I was in Ireland last fall. In a bathroom stall I saw graffiti and took a photo of it.

It said “Remember narrow water and the bloody Armalite, Brit’s out! 2024”

It was newish... I googled the meaning.

“ Perhaps if Ireland embraced hydrocarbons and refineries, they would have more energy.”

Ireland is an old civilization, like many. St Patrick brought Christianity there in the 400s.

This government moved in and abortion was legalized in 2018. That’s less than ten years ago

Now the cities are full of immigrants. Taking

The media wants us to buy that this is over money. Prices

No sale

For FUEL they will protest, but not for their complete replacement by Africans and Muslims?
