The #DUP #TUV and loyalist activist 🚮 continue to waste massive sums of taxpayers money arguing that Ireland’s national language shouldn’t be on signage in Ireland; meanwhile there’s insufficient housing, agricultural pollution affecting much of our AONB and water bodies, prices are about to rise exponentially because of Trump tariffs, a UK ETA for visitors to six countries of Northern Ireland that will cost tourism and hospitality a lot in discontinued bookings, and a likely rise in unemployment as the effect of tariffs impact around the world.
But two languages on a signboard……. Pass the smelling salts.

How pathetic are the #DUP #TUV and their tame troll 🚮? It seems to have escaped their attention that they live in IRELAND, and this is our national language; it’s legal, it’s used in Courts, in Stormont; has been used by our MPs in House of Commons, and by various members of the royal family on State visits to Ireland - north and south.
No one is holding their heads in a fixed position or forcing them to read anything in Irish. All the signage will also be available in English, for those who cannot tell the difference between Beal Feriste and Belfast.
🚮 aka Jamie Bryson is trying to lodge legal objection against Irish Language signage with the courts.
We have so many problems, not least the reduction in PIPs and other benefits, the negative effects of the new ETA, the problems being caused by the American administration worldwide; and this kind of bigotry is what gets them up in the morning. Sigh

Klingt wie nach #TÜV.

Man weiß eigentlich das was gemacht werden muss.

Er fährt trotzdem hin in der Hoffnung das der #TÜV es nicht sieht.

Dann wird nur das gemacht was wirklich gemacht werden muss.

Bis die Reparatur teurer als der Marktwert ist.

Bis dahin wurde die Dose aber jedes Wochenende gewaschen.

Die Dose muss ja gut aussehen.
