You can't honestly tell me we'd have gotten all those houses built without the Eastern European lads. I worked on the sites with them. It isn't about blaming them, it's about accepting it simply couldn't have been done without them. 

Also, almost all of those houses were built on unsustainable credit and it wasn't as simple as supply and demand. The demand would have been imaginary if it hadn't been the wild west of mortgage approval and planning permission at the time, and didn't that come home to roost in spectacular fashion? I'd blame the Irish for that if it hadn't been a multinational phenomenon but yes the Irish cunts are absolute cunts, for the avoidance of doubt.

Edit: sort of answering the point you didn't make, reading back. Sort of. It's far too simple to just blame the Irish for that one and obviously the foreign workers can't be held responsible for having jobs either.

The supply and demand point was that, as long as migrant workers were building more houses than they were occupying, economics says they can't logically be identified as the cause of inflating house prices. And, indeed, they weren't and aren't the cause. Other parties are.

Yeah that was the edit, I got that but I'd it said then. Once I read back I wondered why I'd bothered weighing in at all but sure fuck it

It'd be like blaming slaves in the US if there had been an increase in the cost of material for clothes.

Not quite. These lads got full pay and a better standard of living rather than the kunta kinte treatment

You can hate said cunts in that picture (with good grievance) but H'up Russia. You're Irish I take it. Taking the side of the invader after what this country's been through. H'up Ukraine more like. Ledges defended their homeland.

Was reading this piece from a Chinese perspective, thought it was interesting to see how it's spun over there.

Red Cross made contact with us today, we have offered room to a Ukrainian family. Fuck Russia is right, scumbags looking at what they've left behind them in Ukraine
