What has happened The Examiner?


Good article, this, as well. About how the problem foods people are complaining about in the school lunch programme are actually fine as part of any balanced diet, and even then it's better to have kids eat anything rather than having them starve. About it being a balanced and practical approach rather than some horseshit high-horse riding bollocks. Priority No. 1 has to be kids aren't hungry, you can deal with more stuff once that's achieved.

Also a good article, if a little blunt, on Brendan Gleeson's point that the arts aren't covered in the news very much unless there's some celebrity news. How they're seen as some middle-class notions thing. Which is total bollocks. Go down to the CAT Club or Everyman every week and you'll see a huge mix of people. Look at the amount of people supporting all manner of music acts. Look at the amount of little free libraries and book swaps all over the place.

Shows what's possible when things aren't run by giant businesses but by social enterprises that put the community first.
Looks wonderful. Everyone must be very proud.
It also does show how correct the people that own food businesses are.
This Duhallow thing is a registered charity.
If businesses providing food and drink didn’t have to pay so much tax then they’d be a resounding success too.

Those food businesses are free to set themselves up as charities. Otherwise, if they're private enterprises, I suppose the state will continue to exploit them by making them *checks notes* pay tax.
 
Because they're in it to make money.
If they just wanted to have jobs and serve the community they could.
That’s communism
You are missing the point totally. I’m not in any way talking down that charity.
I’m making the obvious point that while this operation is thriving other food businesses are closing. Taxation is universally set out as the reason for that by the trade

It sounds like the business doesn't want to contribute, they just want to make money. Which, y'know, is what a business is, certainly some of them.

I'm sure there's plenty who'd love to pay no tax and they imagine they'd be better off.
 
Fluff piece with a far left supporter of a murderous right wing religious regime in Iran that denies women rights, hangs dissidents from cranes, no elections, has an underground banking system used by the Kinnihan cartel, manufacturing shahad drones for the Russians to kill civilians in apartment blocks but hey he’s taking a holiday on a boat in the Mediterranean,
