A Good Result for Ireland?

[Octavia1]

I don't really understand the view that all kids born in corpo built ghettos are entitled to free gaffs. If we accept that, surely those little darlings should be excluded from second (or at least third) level education. We do need to come up with housing for minimum wage workers though. At the moment we seem to be heading towards HMOs which I guess are ideally suited to first generation immigrant single males but, in the longer term, the solution will involve - by whatever means - very significant devaluation of existing houses, something that's never going to be too popular with the electorate, in particular within influential middle class social circles.

Octys solution is simple ....first off ....get the fuck out of Europe...second ...abolish corporat tax .....abolish taxes on crypto billionaires....allow anyone in the world to put ther money into irish banks without any questions or interference from Americans ....bring in the conscription ...
Compulsory  social  work for social pay .....ie employ anyone on the Dole to community work ( building houses included  ) ....
Increase the defence spending so that we actually can defend the country  an not be dependent ( interfered wit)  by  others ...
Anyone entering ireland and wants a passport must have at least 10 million in the bank or bitcoin ....
Close the borders ..jail political parties for life  for treason who have bean funded by foreign agents ....
Bring in capital punishment for anyome involved in vote rigging

Certainly views that are worthy of expression. IIRC, Nigel Farage (wrapped in an Irish flag) backed some far right extremist group promoting IREXIT.... the same Nigel who endorsed Ian Paisley and Sommy Wilson in Norn Iron!

Does that amount to foreign funding... or what about an ex British soldier, presumably with a British Army pension running for election as was the case in the Artane-Whitehall LEA?

I dont  even know who furarge is ratti but i tink he lives in inglade an he has a french name ....
I certainly wud support the million or so unionists who aspire to be British.....I mean wats goin change that ?
A united Ireland that sharia fein keep goin on about wud mean war in Ireland...and also contribute to our rapidly ascendin journey to bankruptcy.....it ignores the rite of a large majority of the population that have lived there for centuries....
If the irish government got ther hands on the north .....they'd fuk it up and sell it like ther down in the south

[Rat Catcher]

The GFA protects self (majority) determination in Norn Iron. While ideologically I'd like to see a united Ireland within those parameters, I must admit I do like visiting Norn Iron as a foreign country and, on that somewhat selfish basis, I have suggested a trade off within which the British would return Gibraltar to the Spanish and ship the monkeys and monarchists to a Norn Iron, complete with duty free tax haven status.

The eec owns and runs the south of ireland along with America....the muslims are havin a go at owning it aswell now that ther funding political parties in eire .....
The tricolour is meaningless now ....the country has no sovereignty .....I have more in common wit the protestants
In the north than I do with the irish government or the foreign agents that pull ther strings , line ther pockets an tell them wat to do .....
Sinn fein have betrayed the working and rural  class who wer the majority of ther vote .....they fuked up and succumbed to the same greed and money and outside influence that ff an fg and the rest have ......
The ones left ....the independents done well ....as for the lunatics like daly and Murphy who belong more in a lunatic asylum than a government building .....I hope theyget lost ASAP

To be fair, SF didn't lose any seats and Independents lost 4 seats in the locals. I guess, if we stick with the facts (however mundane) the real winners were the immigrants with record numbers being elected.

Independent Ireland is an interesting new party which gained 13 seats - taking some Councillors (but not seats) from established parties. Billed as being far right it may become a more palatable option for racists. However, I did hear several of it's candidates on mainstream / fake media suggest that migration was a long way down the list of issues raised on the doorsteps in a manner one could only describe as dismissive of the party's perceived agenda. Add to that it's non-whip framework and I guess suspicion of candidates' true motives is understandable. In any event, the far right could have won a few more seats than it did if it was united. IMO, II looks like the obvious vehicle to unity among racists even if a lot of the candidates' commitment to the ol racism is questionable.... it's a numbers game at the end of the day!

True but I don't see " far rite " as racists ....maybe some them are but small Towns an villages have bean greatly impacted by bus loads of Algerian, Somalian an afghans filling ther hotels ....one must consider the  enormous social an practical impact that  that has on established
communities without implying that the locals are all fascists , nazis an racists as the communists, pro Palastinian, trans, lgbt, and established parties wud have us believe if wer a bit gullable to word play politics ........
It's a lot more complicated than political name calling or generlised branding of the opposition to ther wants ...
I'll always believe that the irish people come first ......
The fact that the alledged asylum seekers along the canal and up and down the country who only arrived and wer allowed vote  goes  beyond any sort of reason or sense and beyond comprehension to me ........I can only assume it was for the votes for the established parties....to me that was a criminal act .....if I'm called racist for thinking that then I'm a racist if that's ther definition ......but I don't care wat they say ....ther actions speak louder than words

Ah now Ken...are ya lookin for another  roastin  ?
I'll accommodate ya 

[Rat Catcher]

Can't help meself sometimes, Ken... one of the reasons I don't pay a whole lot of attention to this place anymore.

Anywaysanall, call them racists, far right, nutters, whatever... at least they can't persist with the nonsensical claims that they represent their area as we now know they represent somewhere between 0% and 8% of any given area with most of those at the upper end of that range being Independent Ireland and, as such, with questionable levels of commitment to the ol' racism. Given the influence chambers of commerce have on local elections we can also dismiss concerns non business owners seem to have for business owners' profits!

Jasus octy, saying he's only been moaning for about a year is a tad of an understatement. I've been here around 6 years and the man hasn't stopped moaning,  even for a day.  He's relentless
