I don't think it achieved anything, I genuinely think it's that the type of losers who are like "ehh you can't milk an oat" got too much power

😭 help . I planted a beefsteak tomato thinking it was going to grow bits of cattle flesh but it was just tomato. I'm so confused, the EU parliament needs to help me. I've been tricked and mislead

Zero,.and study agy r study shows that nobody is confused. They'll be coming after peanutbutter next. It seems to be a combo of farm lobbyists whose brains have been rotted by playing the victim so much and rage that anybody would dare eat something that wasn't flesh

And the way they'd go on you'd think that farmers only grew meat, and no farmer ever grew an oat or a vegetable

He is, in fairness to him, the most useless MEP Ireland has ever elected. He does nothing but tweet and send press releases into the tullamore tribune about what a hard man he is for the farmers, while literally doing less than nothing

Of course

The whole thing is so dumb. Peanut butter, mincemeat, fish fingers. I would bet everything own isn't going to drive up meat sales. It's literally just culturewar nonsense cause in all surveys it shows that literally nobody is confused

WHAT ABOUT CATERPILLAR CAKES? PERCY PIGS? CREAM FLOUR? this is so stupid and embarrassing for any MEP who voted for this

‘Veggie burgers’ could be off EU menu as MEPs back renaming plant-based foods

Proponents say move would strengthen position of farmers in supply chain but critics dismiss it as ‘hotdog populism’

They say it’s to protect children, but this new EU law would let AI scan every message we send.
That means our private moments; photos, chats, confessions, could be monitored forever.

Thank God the government still gives tens of millions to one of the cruelest and most unpopular 'sports' in Ireland. The bookies will be glad I suppose

Ending a presidential run is a once in a lifetime score settling. The rest of us can only dream of such satisfying comeuppance

It's so bizarre, why would you even want to go through somebodys bins?!

Saoirse McHugh @saoirsemc.bsky.social · 2d

As a big fan of revenge and holding grudges I have thoroughly enjoyed the last two days. 16 years and then ending somebody's presidential hopes. Delicious

It was a good few years ago now but it was 120 a week each and there were 6 of us. And the electricity was on a stupid wind up meter that devoured 2euro coins

Saoirse McHugh @saoirsemc.bsky.social · 2d

It was just across the road from the UCD main entrance and it was the landlord pretending he didn't live in the garage. He turned off all our electricity once but we found a single plug that worked so 6 of us had to use extension cables coming out of one plug all during christmas exams

Yes, and it had been wrapped in tissue, put it back in the box, in a tied bathroom bin bag, in the large black bag... That's a lot of rummaging. He showed up at one of the girls family homes down the country telling her parents that there were men coming to the house and drinking going on

It really was, we would get drunk and play 'who can leave their hand through the letterbox the longest' knowing he was just sitting there. He was the worst. He used turn off the boiler every so often and demand more money for oil even though we could see that the tank still was about half full

We had to put our rent through a LETTERBOX IN THE KITCHEN WALL that went into the garage that he pretended he didn't live in. And if he thought everybody was gone he would start making noise and coughing and walking around loudly

If the landlord that lived in our garage and pretended he didn't and used to secretly sleep in one of the girls beds when she was away and used go through our bins and once fished out a pregnancy test amd brought it up ever runs for president I will be ready
