    I don't think this is the sort of "cultural enrichment" we voted for when we signed up to the EU.

    Yet some people still wonder why the Brits Voted for Brexit.

    Not even the worst Irish Criminals have ever committed a crime like this.

    Drugs unit garda suffers acid attack at hands of heroin gang he's investigating

    The officer received minor injuries to his face and hand at the start of last month and gang members separately turned up outside his child’s school.

    A MEMBER OF a garda drugs unit was attacked with acid by members of a heroin gang he is investigating, TheJournal.ie understands.
    The gang believed to be behind the attack has its own drug distribution network across the country.
    The officer has been part of a group of gardai based in north Dublin which has been probing the activities of this criminal gang. The gang’s leaders are from Eastern Europe and investigations into their activities have been ongoing since 2015.
    Sources have told TheJournal.ie that the man has received a number of threatening phone calls in the last few months. It is understood the Garda Representative Association (GRA), which represents rank-and-file members of An Garda Síochána, is aware of the threat to the officer’s life and has been offering him support.

    Feral scum should go back to where the hell they came and the do gooders can go jump into the river for all i care why should Ireland tolerate foreign criminal gangs of any nationality.

    I remember around '89 a Garda in Swords had petrol thrown on him and was set alight. Think he managed to come away with minor enough burns but couod easily have been much worse. Was headlines of the old Evening Press at the time.

    Scumbags be scumbagging.

    There was a stage in the 70s and 80s where dissident republican bank gangs would open fire on unarmed Gardai.

    This was a regular occurence all over the country and ended up being the primary reason for the introduction of the ERU.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭shakeitoff


    You'll always get scumbags, the difference is that a Pole will more than likely be integrated within a generation into Irish society, for someone further afield it may never happen. There's no clash between Irish and Polish culture. I like Muslims, best friend is Muslim, but there's a big difference.

    Indeed they did.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Joseph_Morrissey

    "Sergeant Morrissey, alone and on foot, pursued the raiders. As he caught up with them a shot was fired and he fell to the ground grievously wounded. One of the gunmen stood over him and at point blank range shot the Sergeant dead".

    A few East Europeans would be ok but we have far too many of them here.

    They are even building their own supermarkets here that doesn't sound like integration to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,268 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    If they're hanging around outside the kid's school, I know I'd want the family to be put into hiding.

    Is witness protection a thing in Ireland or have I been watching too much American TV?

    I would have thought that someone setting up a business to serve an underserved section of the marketplace would be something to celebrate no?

    Its keeping money within their own community when they could be supporting indigenous Businesses.

    Would they be avoiding taxes and the like? If so, maybe they should be burned or something! Are Irish people banned from these shops? You have me convinced now, these individuals are pure evil

    Unless there is a Polish power plant they've built secretly among other things, I'm pretty certain that they do support indigenous businesses. Also, they're allowed to spend their money how they see fit. They also pay taxes, which benefits all of us.

    Honestly, of all the arguments you could choose...

    Considering there's an Irish bar in every city in the world, its a grave hypocrisy telling polish they cant open shops here.

    If the owners of the businesses are legally resident in the state, then those businesses are indigenous, by definition.

    How many Irish people do you know that shop in Polish supermarkets ?

    Quite a few. Can't bate the Polish supermarkets for Pickles and Paprika crisps!

    As an aside, I once saw a Polish man in Tesco. Can't remember what he was buying. I probably should, seeing as the phenomenon of a non-Irish national shopping in a UK based business in Dublin would be remarkable enough in and of itself.

    Question: When you considered the implications of a bluddyfurrinner shopping in a bluddyfurrin shop in Dublin, what harmonic interval did your cognitive dissonance-o-phone produce?

    That's the genius of free enterprise, Doc.

    Anyone can set up a business, employ people, pay rent, pay rates and taxes.

    And provide goods and services that anyone can buy.

    Was it now, really? A protest at fancy luxury German cars, the latest Jap' Playstations and the delightful stirring hum of a Harley D' Softtail - by your average anti-globalist Dave & Daffny in Essex, Tyne or wherever.

    Nothing to do then with illegal or mass/uncontrolled migration events.

    Here's an idea playback any TV debate (Question Time, Newsnight) or any UK phone-in radio show, count the amount of times these exact phrases are used:
    a) Take back control of our borders b) Illegal or mass migration.

    Where do you think they're paying Vat, prsi, USC, rates, insurance, rent, mortgages, car insurance, car tax? Sneaky Polish business men and punters are sending it all back to Warsaw I'd say.

    And what does EU have to do with illegal or mass invitation, and how not being part of EU is going to help them?

    You're taking bit nonsense here.

    That’s incorrect, literally is not used to mean figuratively in hyperbole because you generally don’t use figuratively in a sentence but about a sentence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭Franz Von Peppercorn


    I haven’t read most of these thread, it seems to have devolved into a bourgeois sneer.

    However if the EU needs to survive we probably need a proper, tough, European police force.

    At the moment it’s like the US minus the FBI, which was fairly lawless for State hopping criminal gangs.

    The point was that 'Wanderer78' claimed Brexit was all due to 'globalisation', and not 'migration' factors.

    If (full, hard) brexit ever happens you just can't roll in from Bulgaria, Italy, France to the UK to live or work as is currently the case.

    Chances are, you'll need a visitor visa of some sort. But Ire may be exempt from most border checks, due to close historical, geographical and cultural ties between these Islands.

    Allowing free access to Ireland alone would be impossible given we have free movement with 26 other states

    Hence why they're all busy brainstorming what to do about the 'border backstop'

    I.e. The EU say there is no way every car can be stopped that crosses it to see who's in it, where they're going, and how much butter they're carrying in their boot from another state entity.
    An 'arrangement will have to be agreed'.

    Already if you fly in/out some airports UK-ROI, it's through a seperate section or area of the airport.
