Lockdown AND a drought. Great.
@JusticeForJoe: Don’t know why you’re complaining Wurzel. Every time we see you and Aunt Sally, yiz look off yer box!
@JusticeForJoe: nah, I’m sure you’ll be able to buy off somebody else ;)
@JusticeForJoe: lovely.
I don’t smoke the funny stuff, but i also don’t have an issue with Séan from Cork sitting in on a
Saturday night with a big bag of Doritos watching Planet Earth. You know we need the money
and it will keep people at home.
Correction, the value of the cannabis that was seized is precisely €0. The only real loser here is taxpayer who has had to fund this ludacris prohibition of a plant.
@Niall Fynite: zero? Really? Even if its sold legally it still has a value.
Great to see them collecting for next weeks pandemic unemployment payment. Keep it up
@barry moore: it not like they sell it on.
@thomas patrick: you didn’t read the headline. Why would they sell on 80k in cash?
have your say
