Migrants?

If you want to stand Occi your policy should be total Honesty .Promise if elected you will do fuck all .As thats what the rest do but pretend to be concerned . Just say I stand for nothing and will do no damage !

I dunno, JohnM.  Ireland is usually 5-10 years behind the rest of the world.  Continental Europe and America are working their way through their own Far-Right/Fascist periods at the moment.  In a lot of 'first world' countries, the rich get richer but the average person's wages/purchasing power hasn't improved since the '70's!  Something's gotta give!

In Ireland, There's only so many times Granny & Grandad can pass on their life savings to the kids & grandkids before the money runs out.  And with the migrants, it's all tea & sympathy until they turn up in your neighbourhood!  With the housing & migrant crises peaking at the same time, we're due a right-wing shift as well, methinks?

...... Peter Casey got closer to 1,000 votes than 1,000,000 in the 2018 Presidential election and, as you well know, he has contested every election since including - but not limited to - failing to win a seat in the European Parliament in the Midlands-North-West constituency in 2019, failing to win a seat in Dail Eireann in the Dublin West constituency (2020) where he achieved a record low of 213 first preference votes and failing to win a seat on Blanchardstown Parish Pastoral Council. He previously stood for Seanad Eireann (2016), again failing to win a seat.

That should be a good lesson fer every politician to learn; "Don't diss de Knackers !".

Social change is always resisted to some extent, Watty. From Culchies coming to Dublin pushing up the price of a hole in the basement of a tenement house right through to the Dublin descendants of said culchies moving back to rural towns. However, Irish folk tend to mix better than might be the case in other nations so whatever misgivings they may initially have tend to give way to harmonious social integration, perhaps peppered with a little good natured ribbing. Once folk realise the folk they feared are actually the same as them insofar as they get up, go to work every day, bring the kids to school, etc... the fear dissipates.

To be fair to Mr. Casey his popularity shot up when he jumped on the anti-traveller bandwagon, Ken. His performance in Presidential election 2018 is by far the best performance he has ever posted across the many many many elections he has contested. It was subsequent to that that he identified as a racist... in search of another bandwagon. I think it became pretty apparent at that stage that he just wants to be elected to something. Unlike other right wing candidates his commitment to the racist or the anti-traveller agendae seems questionnable at best.

Newspapers are reporting a anti-migrant 'protest' outside Finglas Garda Station tonight.  The story in the Sunday World is a bit confusing but the Guards (armed detectives, no less) lifted one of the organisers today but not before he gave a journalist this quote or he posted it online...  Like I said, the report is a bit confusing.

“I will not ask these people again to listen to me,” he declares.

“I'm gonna say - do what has to be done lads.

"And I'm gonna sit back and fold me f******’ arms and watch.

“They're gonna go through that station if you don't get the f*** out by your own will,” he said.

“That's what they're gonna do and, no matter whether I'm there or not, they're going to be there.

"And they have it in their head to protect their own f******* children, to protect their daughters, to protect their mothers from dirty f******* rapists, that's what we're doing.

“Now f*** the Garda, f*** the army, f*** the judges f*** the politicians, f*** them all”.

That's the leader you're looking for, Octy. Peter Casey, me bollix!

It's much ado about nothing, Ken. A few loopers trying to build a right wing platform is about the size of it. Opinion polls suggest the extreme left - well as extreme as the left gets in Ireland - will top the polls in pretty much every predominantly working class constituency which will hopefully result in the liberal Socialist Republic we deserve. I've every faith that whatever policy may be adopted by Deputy Owen O'Brin at that juncture will more than adequately address any shortage of affordable housing to facilitate both immigrant and indigenous population growth. Chucky our law!

I don't agree with your apparent hatred of those who reproduce, SB. Reproduction is central to the survival and evolution of our species. I guess one could argue that we have invested too heavily in education resulting in two, not unrelated, contributory factors to the need for economic migrants. First, women getting educated is undoubtedly a contributory factor to reduced family sizes and second, the quality of education afforded to the Chrildren of those smaller families is such that they end up over-qualified for unskilled jobs and many skilled trades.

There's an obvious and urgent need to fast-track the asylum process - something SF have promised and will, no doubt, deliver. It's crazy that we have tens of thousands of dark skinned lads filling hotel rooms in the direct provision system on one hand and tens of thousands of low skilled or unskilled job vacancies on the other hand.

I don't agree with your apparent hatred of those who reproduce, SB.

Now there misinterpreting to a colossal extent.

Naa... not my leader ...but I understand the frustration.....people coming in from all over the world claiming to escape persecution an certain death wen in reality  in alot of cases  ther trying to escape endemic corruption and poverty   braut about by ther own governments and culture in  countries that are far wealthier in terms of natural resources than ours ....
My opinion is  that these people are doing untold damage to the people
Of Ireland in terms of we simply can't survive this massive relentless
Immigration ....we  dont have the accommodation,  the healthcare , the schools nessesary nor the money to facilitate them ....
It's not about racism or nazism that vested interested politicians   keep spouting on the media and demonising irish citizens for speaking up about a national crisis and disaster caused by those very same politicians ......
The question is ...when do we say and as simple as it sounds ........... " wer full and we can't cope with the numbers  anymore " ....I would argue that our leaders will never come to that practical required decision for the survival and wellbeing of the state .....and thats going to plunge this country into catastrophe

The only alternatives is Irexit and if we left the EU the whole state would collapse .They didnt make the middle of nowhere accessable for nothing .

If we went bankrupt China could buy us for cents on the dollar.

When you hear a scobie saying "Ah heeyor, build a wall" be careful what you wish for!
