Why Governments Love Raising the Minimum Wage ? Because it?s Really a Tax Mon Dec 22, 2025 15:36 | Mark Ellse
Why do governments of all parties love raising the minimum wage? It may seem generous, but really it's a tax, says Mark Ellse. The low-paid worker keeps just one sixth of the increase. 85% goes to the government.

The ?Superflu? Story Shows the Mainstream Media Are Utterly Untrustworthy Mon Dec 22, 2025 11:34 | Dr Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson
The mainstream media have spent weeks pumping out fear porn over the 'Superflu' crisis supposedly engulfing the NHS. Now as the reality becomes undeniable, even the BBC is rowing back, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Cmon lads - Give RSF a proper hearing. I want to hear Joe O Neills plans for a Socialist Republic.
Maybe if you dropped the victim complex and started behaving like grown up then people might take you a bit more seriously. The "poor miss-begotten, down-trodden, oppressed republican" lament is pretty dated now and just pisses people off because they think you take them for gullible twats. If you want coverage then get off your arse and do the ground work yourselves. Stop expecting it to fall in your lap. Participating in mainstream politics means actually having to do some work, not just causing a big kafuffle and having the press run to you in response. Sinn Fein got so much publicity in the past as the controversy surrounding it made it a juicy media topic. Now the controversy is gone so is the media interest. Do what other mainstream parties do. Release statements, organise press conferences, put the work in. This is nothing to do with oppression or unfairness. This is to do with the fact that you used to getting coverage for doing pretty much nothing as the media flocked to you in response to the actions of the IRA or the ravings of the unionists. Now because you actually have to work at politics all you can do is moan and complain. Welcome to democracy. If you are not prepared to put the work in then stand down and give the job to someone who can. Grow up.
Now be honest - BBC ulster asked you to take part in a podcast so that voters could ask the smaller parties what they think which is scheduled for march 5th. But you said no. Because BBC ulster are the brits / english / polish / foreigners. Come to think about it - isnt the election brit/ engish / polish / foreign?

Check the front page of Todays Limerick Post biggest circulation newspaper in the city. Both Front Page stories are RSF generated !!, It is quite amazing- considering that we are only two months from an election. I'm sure other parties will be amused. One I can understand but both of them!
The stories are Tiny Lynch complaining about Heroin problem and that lots of Junkie mums are going to jail leaving their children at home.

Mick Ryan complaining that a teenage rapist has been released and the terrible fear in the commmunity

I agree - RSF should stop whinging and get out there and do the work themselves.
It's now March 6, elections are a few days away in the North and RSF's organ SAOIRSE is not available on the internet yet.
As regards PSNI harassment - you've declared the PSNI to be your "eternal enemies". Surely being harassed is what republicanism is all about!
