Honestly, why has nobody thought of a solution to high rents that was this simple before?
in Ireland, opposition parties and the media live in mortal fear of being accused of “playing the race card”. Merely expressing scepticism of any policy in relation to immigration runs the very real risk of being called a racist.
And so, it makes it much easier for Boris and Co to sell a simple message about Starmer: This guy is a weirdo who does not know what a woman is.
The change is not just a change. It is also an implicit accusation, and charge, laid against people who can never defend themselves. It is an absurd charge, and an absurd change, made for no other reason than to appease a group of woke activists who never have, and never will, play cricket anyway.
