To be fair aldi and lidl stock so much imported food it really wouldn’t make a massive difference if the farmers started to act the bollox with food too.

Well, the “no farmer, no food” sign is bollocks for one thing. They’re a highly subsidised business and export the vast majority of what they produce. likewise we import the vast majority of what we consume. If ever there was a sector that needed centralised control, that’s it. It’s shameful that we aren’t self sufficient given our history and in terms of realpolitik (climate and geopolitics).
Hauliers on the other hand are the backbone of our economy and should be the ones who can avail of green diesel.

No farmers no food is bullshit (unfortunately). No ferries no food on the other hand….

Imagine standing out in public holding up a sign portraying the guards as actual pigs, without realising you’re a dumb fuck

I actually wish the no farmers no food was accurate. We should eat more of our own produce but we import 80% of our food while exporting 90% of what we do produce.
So if every farmer in the country went on strike for months there would only be shortage of some foods.
United_Plum_2209 on
Are we going to have a food shortage since none of these greedy fucks have done a days farming in the last week?

As usual some reasonably accurate messaging wound up in nonsense.
Cost of living needs addressing, absolutely. Shutting the whole country down over a few extra quid in fuel instead of housing? Madness.

There’s a stereotype if there ever was one of that person holding up the sign with the pig.

It’s accurate for them. Why are people on here so hell bent on dismissing them and their lived experience?

Where are the fishermen in all of this? Surely they’re reliant on diesel too?

I thinks it’s a little dramatic alright. See below where we sit on prices.
We now have some of the more generous fuel packages in Europe so probably a bit much.
So much of the price is down to factors the government have no responsibility over
The farmers aren’t even protesting anymore really, this is ridiculous

Seeing the amount of foreign interference and intent to destabilise, suddenly makes me wonder if the social media registration regulation is a bad thing.

Mostly bullshit attention seekers. Just on face value I wouldn’t be surprised if these were just AI. I’ve seen a few fake pics online of my home town showing protests that never happened

What is so specific to Ireland that these fuel protests are kicking off where across the water nothing at all is happening?
strictnaturereserve on
It would have eventually but the government dropped the ball in implementing the tax cuts.
very nice logo design btw all paid for by the agri and haulage sector there was very little done by small independent businesses here.
I mean they had a point the Haulage companies cannot deliver anything if their fuel just doubles in cost and the farmers are about to start cutting silage that means the price of food was going to go up.
the price of Fertilizer is going to go (or has gone) up too because it is created by the same industry so the price of food is going up regardless

Given that we export about 90% of what we produce, I think no farmers, no food is inaccurate unless they plan on blocking food imports.

Don’t like the pig one. Who will they be calling next time they’ve an issue with farm theft, cattle stealing etc. Guards are human too and many in that protest would have family members as guards that kind of depersonification is dangerous and insidious. They are carrying out the law. Â

the last one touches on a very surreal aspect to me, a natural distrust of police in ireland was till now limited to 3 groups republicans, gurriers, and acab lefties. these groups all overlapped a bit as well.
the idea of very rural lads from farming familes being exposed to the concept of acab is properly insane, they’re the stereotypical garda recruits

Farming has lost respect over the generations, people forget how crucial it is because food is so ubiquitous here.
As an industry, it needs to be protected.
mcolive on
It doesn’t matter if the signs are accurate, the demands are inadequate. If I were to support a protest it would need to be a positive protest with aims to improve the cost of living by spending tax money on important much needed infrastructure projects; mass transit, cycling, walking, building the dreaded “15 minute city” (living somewhere where your essential needs can be met within a 15min trip by walking, cycling or public transport), housing etc.

I don’t understand the elephant.
The garda one is sometimes reusable.
Some very interesting signs alright
