John Connors is a bit of a wanker

DickSwiveller

Just look at the intolerant ideologues attacking him on twatter. God, I hope No wins just to see the meltdown on twatter.

Everyone is right and wrong on certain issues, for me he is right on the current issue and it is intolerable people who are targeting him for having an opinion they disagree with.

Indeed. The self-labelled 'liberals' are only liberal and tolerant when your view aligns with theirs...

The referendum thread on AH is a shining example of this.
People who are concerned about the 12 week proposal in draft legislation, or express even the slightest concern for the unborn are immediately outnumbered about 10:1 and accused of being evil women hating monsters. No room for rational and reasoned debate with hardcore "liberals".

Who would have thought a group of people with families the size of amazonian tribes would be opposed to abortion.

If he was that interested in the life of babies he could start closer to home and consider why travellers infant mortality rate is 3•5 times the general population and what could be done to sort that abysmal situation out.

Maybe he does. Do you know him personally?

I do.

I have never heard him or read of him addressing that depressing statistic and have rarely heard traveller rep groups address it in any meaningful way.

Interesting fact on John Connor and Terminator.

Wouldn't take much of a genius would it? Improve hygiene, nutrition, education, healthcare.

Kinda all of the things that the rest of society has done over the past however many years which caused the infant mortality rate to drop for the rest of us.

According to this article the infant mortality rate for travelers is 12/1000

which would (roughly) correspond to the same number for the rest of society over 30 years ago....

Substituting the terms shines a light on the underlying message. What era would the post evoke if the word 'travellers' was replaced with 'Jews'?

"The majority of travellers blacks contribute nothing to Irish society. They fought to be seen as a minority yet argue that they’re not treated as equals. The ratio of criminals to law-abiding citizens in the travelling black community is exponentially larger than in the settled white community. Criminality is largely condoned in their community, they believe they are above the law. Travellers Blacks make up something like 11% of the Irish prison population, yet make up less than 1% of the actual population. I’ve never spoken to a person about travellers blacks in which they have not had mainly negative experiences of them. True there are some good travellers blacks, but it’s hard not to tarnish them all with the same brush when so many of them are not good."

After Hours attracts tons of Irish far right types, scary.

I'm not too proud of a person to admit when and where I was wrong.
This is no exception.

My apologies to Aldi.

Dafuq is a Traveller black? Is it different to a regular Traveller? When did they begin to sort themselves by colour, like is there a group called Traveller red?

Problem is with him he turns things into an issue with himself or the traveller community.

Anything anonymous these days attracts these idiots. They can't put it on their Facebook because their mother would give them a hiding so they come here.

Whatever about the people tweeting Connors on this issue, if they are using their own names they are still better than the cowards abusing him here.

Twitter Liberals last week:

John Connors is a genius, he's our Orson Welles, anyone that doesn't like him is a nazi, and is literally Hitler.

Twitter Liberals this week:

John Connors is a woman-hating nazi, anyone that likes him is literally Hitler.

And they wonder why normal people can't take them seriously.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Anyone have any egs of the 'tsunami of racist abuse' he is being subjected to on Twitter?

I don't use it.

Irish Guitarist

I don't have much time for him but I agree with his latest couple of tweets. And the ones abusing him are the same ones that accuse anyone who disagrees with Leo Varadkar about voting yes of harassing him.

There's a Twitter group called Repeal Shield who block everyone who disagrees with their views and post this block list on their page. The entire purpose of their page is to trawl Twitter looking for people to block. I wonder are they the ones sending him these messages.
