Sex Sells. It Always Has. And the Ad Industry Has Finally Remembered That Sat Aug 02, 2025 19:18 | Lee Taylor
Sex sells, says Lee Taylor, and that is something many brands, caught up in the joyless theatre of modern virtue-signalling, could well stand to relearn.

The Red Cross is paying for the families of hundreds of migrants granted asylum to relocate to Britain. Confronted about this by the Telegraph, Yvette Cooper blamed the Tories. Shock!

What "viable roadways" would they have been David?
Irish roads were an international joke up till recently.
Many still are.
Just last week I had to drive through a cattle fair day in the village of Buttevant.
This is on the main "superhighway" between the Second largest and third largest city in the state....Cork and Limerick.
A winding boreen would be a better description of that dangerous road.
Decent infrastructure is a basic requirement for national recovery.
.
Why not cut the apparently autonomous government agency known as the National Roads Authority, which has so far managed to chalk up a €16 billion overspend on its NPD allocation? I know it costs a lot to provide cash handouts to needy politically-connected developers and their multinational associates, but medical care and education should not come second to bulldozing national monuments in order to plank down motorways alongside existing and perfectly viable roadways.
People Before Profit Alliance have suggested alternatives Brian!
On Tuesday 28th April 2009 in the Unite Hall in Dublin the People Before Profit Alliance launched it's "Economic Alternative Agenda" Document.
Read the document here:

wait...I think there was a few extra pages in my bord snip report. Looks like they accidentally gave me a draft copy. Hmmm...yes...ovens.....euthanasia....free slave labour for chosen corporations.....gold teeth....yes. It all makes so much sense. Why beat around the bush?
This state is such a joke. We have pro lifers running around on the one hand, then this shit on the other when you finally get here. We don't care about life once it arrives. That is unless it arrives in a rich family. Because we also have low tax for the rich, tax loopholes up the wazoo, free gas for large multibillion dollar corporatations, and huge multi billion euro reimbersements / loan write offs for failed investors who are savvy enough to use the corrupt anglo irish bank, all quietly paid for by the docile accepting Irish public.
What the hell are they putting in the water??? In any other country people would be filing the streets, but instead we meekly accept the FF mantra, not questioning their failed ideological viewpoint for a moment, while they attack all the vulnerable areas of society to save small amounts.
they already quietly took 4% off rent allowance without a murmur, yet low rents are not dropping at all.. Then another 2% by removing xmas bonus. Thats already 6% off the poorest members in society before we even look at bord snips "report", while the judges get the option of a voluntary reduction which hardly any take up, surprise surprise. Judges like Devins who earns her huge salary by jailing protestors and riding roughshod over the legal process.
In Iran, they use civil disobedience, like all turning their TV on simultaneously at 9, or all phoning at the same time or all asking for the same webpage at 9.
You have to admire them. People do have power. They just don't bother. Whatever happened to the spirit of the Irish people. Only the accents of the landlords changed.
PBPA need to outline alternatives to An Bord Snip if they are to be taken seriously. Its easy to say that cuts should not be made, everyone agrees with that - but how else are the books to be balanced? The state does not have the income to pay for the expenditure it makes. We cant borrow for ever.
I'm not agreeing with the Bord Snip cuts - I'm just saying that in order for opposition to it be credible, there has to be a different way of doing things outlined, with proper costing, instead of just opposition for the sake of it.
Labour leader Eamon Gilmore said the report is a 'shocking commentary' on the Government that has been in office for 12 years, given the identification of such huge savings.
However, he said threats of industrial action in response to the proposed cuts are not helpful."
So FF introduce a crazy thatcherite document and Gilmore's point is that talk by the unions to use industrial action to fight cuts is 'unhelpful'.
This is crazy!
