    I'm mixed race and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that statement considering it's about his character and behaviour rather than anything racially.

    Try harder.

    That's because you're not looking to score some cheap points on the internet.

    Liberal elite has to be the oxymoron phrase that I have ever heard. If anyone is a member of the "elite", they certainly would not subscribe to anything that was "liberal".

    Just to be absolutely clear, I have no idea. Given the source, I'm do not believe that it's true at all. There's a guy called Ben who works for Gript. That's about all I know about either him or them.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    "Liberal Communists" is my favourite. Take two terms which are diametric opposites and just glue them together because somehow it will make sense. Honourable mention for "woke" because nobody who screeches about it seems able to define it.

    The most prominent far left people in this country subscribe to a socialist ideology (which we're oft reminded is the pursuit of communism) whilst also being staunch advocates for pretty much every socially liberal cause under the sun.

    In such an environment is it any wonder people conflate communism with liberalism?

    Two things that shouldn't be seen together by definition but in practice are hand in glove in Irish society.

    The stench of intellectual elitism from so many posts on this topic in this thread and at least one other is overwhelming, as is the refusal to accept observable facts relating to this issue.

    Glazers Out!
