Interesting to see how Irish firms pan out with their disruption to the government against immigration and fuel.
Nothing on msm as usual!
Any of our Irish friends have any info?

They haven't moved since Tuesday in some places so they are determined that's for sure.
The Irish government have sent the gards in in places and told them to move, they are taking all number plate details and threatening them with €1000 euro fine, and jail if they dont pay it
they'll never have enough jail space to keep them all
Also sending the army in to remove them, which frankly they'd be better sending in the local choir boys group.
Funny how they never sent the army in to dublin when they were wrecking it a couple of years ago.
Apparently a protest planned for up here in the north for Tuesday so it'll be interesting to see how that goes

Residents furious after unauthorised development takes over Surrey village
A field in the village was transformed by intense, unauthorised building work over the bank holiday weekend
www.getsurrey.co.uk
This has been going on locally. Not paid much attention as it is a monthly occurrence around here. But skimmed through a couple of photos and recognised the place. It is owned by an Irish horse dealer and his brother a developer. Not travellers but forget on a regular basis that they can't work on Irish rules in Surrey.
When they built the house in the background of the photos I helped with the septic tank and had taken a tanker lorry to fill it. The tank was huge to serve 4 or 5 properties but was at least a 60 person unit. I showed up at just gone 7 in the winter and parked on site with the engine running and had a chat with the brothers. A neighbour complained to the planning department that there was an engine running so early, so they rocked up just before lunch. And proceeded to find a long list of planning breaches. Including the tank that was now mostly concreted in, being 10m behind house number 1 when it was meant to 30m Infront of house number 4.
The two Irish brothers saw the planning inspector and proceeded to become absolutely unintelligible. Being perfectly friendly, but completely unhelpful. Whilst everyone English onsite pissed themselves knowing the accent was vastly exaggerated, until the planning inspector gave up.

'Uproar' as 50 lorries turn up to unauthorised development in Surrey village
On Good Friday, residents of Pirbright reported around 50 lorries arriving on the site and beginning to install hard standing and mobile homes

Alex told me back in 2017 of a similar story - he'd been hired to op a 360 for a guy to put in a road way and 5 hard stands ... lorries kept turning up with sub base, etc. virtually as needed ... like a military operation over a b/hol ... done and dusted and occupied in 3 days - paid handsomely in notes for 3 days work

Good summary of the tube strike. if there was anyone convincing the world we need automated trains its the drivers.
nicked off li:
Only in Britain could a group of people look at less work, fewer hours, more time off and respond like they’ve just been handed a Victorian chimney sweep contract.
The RMT Union have managed to achieve something truly remarkable here. Not better pay, not improved conditions, not some grand workers’ revolution.
No. They’ve declared war on… a shorter working week. It’s the first industrial dispute in history where the rallying cry is essentially: “We demand to be less comfortable immediately.”
TfL comes along with a four-day week, trims the hours, and the response is outrage because drivers might feel… tired. Tired. From working less. At this point you’re not negotiating, you’re auditioning for a role in a Monty Python sketch titled The Ministry of Silly Grievances.
And then comes the counteroffer. Thirty-two hours for the same pay. Of course. Why stop there? Why not two days a week and a lie-in subsidy? Maybe throw in a hardship allowance for the emotional toll of having Fridays free.
Meanwhile, the public those inconvenient people who actually fund this circus get to play a daily game of “Will I get to work today or just wander around Zone 2 questioning my life choices?” Entire commutes reduced to a lottery system where the prize is arriving at the office before lunch.
The best part is the justification. Longer shifts between breaks, earlier starts, later finishes, uncertainty. In other words: a normal job description for literally everyone else on earth. But here it’s treated like a human rights violation worthy of The Hague.
Even ASLEF, not exactly a bastion of ruthless capitalism, looked at this and said: “You do realise this is insane, right?” When another union calls your strike ridiculous, you’ve gone past parody and straight into performance art.
At this stage, abolishing Tube drivers might actually be the most honest solution. Not out of malice, just efficiency. Because if the choice is between automation or negotiating with people who think fewer hours will somehow exhaust them, the robots are already winning by simply not complaining.

I have long since wonder why a group of people that would be so easily replaced by automation. Not even A.I just simple automation systems. Cause so much fuss.
If it was me I would do everything I can to melt into the back ground and disappear. I also don't understand how they justify their self worth in comparison to lorry drivers or other operators when they can't even get lost.

Saw a post on FB, from IIRC Express or Guardian, in my feed a few days ago saying that 'the plumber' had come up with some info. that he'd rather she hadn't, relating to spurious use of funds ... haven't been able to find it again
Not been able to find anything in Guggle either ?
