Will all these tariffs/counter tariffs have an effect on house prices?

Don't know tbh, but if talk of a global recession comes to pass I'd say that's likely to result in lower house prices and interest rates. I'm certainly no expert in this, but last time there was a global recession post 2007, house prices fell through the floor.

House prices took 4 years to fall through the floor and the global recession was due to madness in the housing market.

Be surprised if a recession made any difference in Dublin. Everyone been saying during covid, Ukraine, inflation, etc.... this can't continue but the simple fact is there is a housing shortage and buyers (especially in south Dublin) being propped up mummy and daddy's monopoly money. 

People were saying all those same things before the 2007 crash.
House prices in the North I'm told are back to 2008 levels, so it wouldn't take much to push them back down. I dont think it would be wise to base the wider market around what's happening in Dublin.
If I was buying my first home or moving home I wouldn't be overly concerned as I'd need to buy and as interest rates fluctuate i'll be affected to a certain degree - but when it comes to a 2nd home or investment property, maybe safer to wait a wee while and see what happens.

Where I live house asking prices are currently about £70k lower than the mental asking prices of 2008.

Lads are there any series you'd consider marquee that I could have missed. I'm thinking top end stuff like The Killing(Forbrydelsen), Breaking Bad, Sopranos etc.

The Killing was good but not a patch on The Bridge. Best Nordic crime series ever.

Little Timofiyko, aged 3, was just one of the 9 children murdered by Russia yesterday. 18 dead in total. Over 50 injured.

The cognitive dissonance is glaringly obvious.

You support the Western governments doing the right thing by encouraging and supporting Ukraine's war effort.
You believe they are supporting Ukraine because it's ideologically the right thing to do (i.e. to fight against fascism)

Surely you'd think that the same ethically pure ideals would be employed by these western governments when it comes to the Gaza conflict, yet instead these people supposedly driven by righteous principles are happy to support a genocide. Weird to my mind but not yours obviously.   

Even the language you use stinks...'encouraging and supporting Ukraine's war effort'. Ukraine's 'war effort' consists entirely of defending itself from a genocidal invasion by a dictatorship. A dictatorship you support.

Like I said, I'm answerable only to myself, not the foreign policies of Britain or Germany or the US. So the cognitive dissonance and the hypocrisy is all yours. You're against fascism and simultaneously for fascism.

You're for human rights in Palestine and dismissive of human rights in Iran, Syria, Ukraine.

The board's biggest hypocrite. A conspiracy theorist, anti-semitic, holocaust denying, pro-dictatorship, pro-fascist.

It's 'glaringly obvious' to everyone on the board but yourself. I'd say almost everyone on this board is pro-Palestine but you're the only one that has gone down the rabbit hole with all the shite you watch online.

This is precisely what Western (pro Zelensky) governments and their media arms are doing isn't it Gerry? These great principled leaders are ALL in on Israel and in the same breath ALL in on Ukraine.
How are you coping with the cognitive dissonance? Must be tough.

We can all agree it's a truly fcked up world and it looks (to my eye anyway) like it's accelerating in what appears to be a pre planned negative direction.

This George Orwell quote resonates
"All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force."

Nice try.

So in order to weasel out of your support for fascist Russia but condemnation of fascist Israel you equate me with hypocritical western governments.

I am answerable only to myself. No cognitive dissonance here.

Unlike yourself - crying about Palestinians* but an apologist, propagandist and excuser of attempted Russian genocide of the Ukrainian nation.


*when murdered by Israel only - those murdered by Assad or Hezbollah are of no concern and can be discarded for ideological reasons.

Yes it certainly looks as if it's all under control.


Wanted war criminal and killer Benjamin Netanyahu seen here boasting how he controls the Trump Administration, and has the power to define the arbitrary smear of "antisemitism" & weaponize it to compel western governments to silence and deport any critics of Israel's killing and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

How is it you can be against fascism in one instance and promote it in another?

You'd get a whiff of my farts before I do Gerry. Never far behind.

Not easy being a, what was it again, "psy-op". 🤪

You must lament the good old days when you could spread your lies unchallenged eh Skull?

Germany decides to leave history in the past and prepare for war
The country's top general has told the BBC the cash boost is urgently needed because he believes Russian aggression won't stop at Ukraine.

But Gen Breuer's ambitions are far greater.

He told us Germany needs an extra 100,000 troops to defend itself and Nato's eastern flank adequately - a total of 460,000, including reserves. So he insists a return to military service is "absolutely" necessary.

"You won't get this 100,000 without one or other model of conscription," the general said.

"We don't have to determine now what model brings them. For me it's only important that we get the soldiers in."

That debate has only just begun.

Europe is militarising thanks to your genocidal hero Putin.

I suppose your selected cut and paste about possible conscription from that article is your way of criticising Germany for its plans to defend itself and its allies?

No mention of the hidden hand of the 'You know whos'. Are they behind Putin's aggressive behaviour do you think?

I collect them. All types. Only time I'd wear one is during 5-a-side and can pretend to be Butragueño, Schillaci, Platini or Charlie Nicholas.

Nothing wrong with that so long as you don't go FKW.

After the Trump admin clown show spent all day lying to a committee, Jeffrey Goldberg releases more info to show them up as liars (what did they think he would do as a reaction to the smears against him?)

Of note also is the glee at the news of a building collapse after a strike to take out one man. Absolute psychopaths.

The Bolsheviks and Israel are one of the same ... not surprising people are unaware of this given the way the history books used in schools have told the story of the Russian revolution. Do your own research to find out who owned those publishing companies.

As Alexander Solzhenitsyn stated ... "Russia must come to terms with the Stalinist and revolutionary genocides – and that its Jewish population should be as offended at their own role in the purges as they are at the Soviet power that also persecuted them"

Who is truthteller?

Reading a paragraph of shite and a cobbled together meme with a few quotes from an anonymous X account with a Russian flag is 'doing your own research'. For morons.

Russian colonisation, murder and genocide predates the Russian revolution but I suppose it's convenient for the GAAboard Anti-Semite  to blame the Jews.

Russian colonisation, murder and genocide didn't stop with the fall of the USSR either.

But it wasn't the Russians, it was the Jews. Don't make me f**king laugh. Pathetic.

Solzhenitsyn was a typical chauvinistic Russian nationalist too. He just didn't like communism.

"Surely people at some point must grow a spine"

Its difficult to view a Putin Trump bromance as the strongest signal of a fallen world when for several decades now the West completely cucks for Israel.

And you shill for Putin et al so you're no better any Israeli cheerleader.

The USA has been taken over by idiots.
