"You know, sort of like when you’ve had eight pints and you feel sick and you want to go home and you realise that the answer is actually a ninth, tenth and possibly even eleventh pint."

The single biggest barrier to me moving home to west Cork is AirBnB. There's plenty of properties, they're all just being used for short term lets. Beyond that, several of the properties I did get to look at had been modified for that market without planning. This impacted our mortgage options.

CJEU press release:
Member State legislation which does not permit the amendment of the
gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to
freedom of movement is contrary to EU law
A Bulgarian national was registered at birth as being male, with a name, personal identification number and identity documents corresponding to that sex. She currently lives in Italy, where she has begun hormone therapy, and now presents herself as a woman.
She instituted proceedings before the Bulgarian courts seeking a declaration that she is a female person and to have her civil status data amended on her birth certificate. Despite the medical opinions and legal assessments confirming the gender identity claimed, her request was rejected.
According to national legislation, as interpreted by the plenary assembly of civil chambers of the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation, the term ‘sex’ must be understood in its biological sense, excluding any amendment of the particulars relating to sex, name and identification number. The public interest, based on the moral and/or religious values of Bulgarian society, thus prevails over the interests of transgender persons.
Hearing the dispute, the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation has doubts as to the compatibility of that legislation with EU law and has referred the matter to the Court of Justice.
In its judgment, the Court holds that EU law precludes legislation of a Member State which does not permit the amendment of the gender data in the civil status registers of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to move and reside freely in another Member State.
The Court emphasises first of all that, while the issue of identity documents falls within the competence of the Member States, they must exercise that competence in compliance with EU law...

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

If you have a policy you actually want to happen, you take concrete steps to that end.

If you have a fairy wish, you just run a lot of ads, without worrying about whether the thing is actually happening or not.

Mass retrofitting is looking less like a failed policy and more like it was the Govt sending a wish to the fairies.

It is utterly bizarre how apparently everyone in charge of everything has gorged themselves on every bit of AI hype bullshit and swallowed it all whole - presumably because they exist in a totally separate entirely fabricated world of PR bullshit and lobbyist money
