Anyone coming into this country has got to be made aware that women and the gay community have full legal rights.If you don't want to accept that and you think you can molest women as you like just because you have grown up in this environment then get the hell back to where you came from, simple as.
You are annoying me Brianh, you have never seen anything in Tallaght to compare with what we see those illegal immigrants in Calais are doing and shame on you for inferring Tallaght is a lawless jungle.

Its ok for him though to paint such a terrible picture of his neighbours in Tallaght, we are supposed to believe Tallaght was full of marauding criminals hi jacking lorries and threatening drivers with their lives.Brian has no evidence to back these statements up at all but we are to take them as statement of fact.Its ok for him to diss the Tallaght community but not for us to question the credentials of people hanging out in Calais for seven years without doing a days work to send money to their families at home.The liberal left loonies are telling us these people went on ahead leaving their women to fight ISIS terrorists with their bare hands, if that was true these men would have accepted asylum in France or in any European country prepared to take them and looked to get work as soon as possible so their families could join them(if things were that dire wherever they came from its likely that most of he people left there have died by now anyway).

If this is such a horrible thread why are you participating,
I don't think its horrible, we need threads like these so people can express their opinions, you won't hear these opinions expressed in our media, they are too busy gazing up their backsides and looking to be offended by someone using the phrase young buck.If people were allowed to express what they think Donald Trump wouldn't be flying to Washington today and Katherine Zappone wouldn't be bringing in people from France than the majority of people in this country don't want.She can kiss goodbye to any hope of being elected in this country again, her job is to look after the interests of Irish children first and foremost and after that she can go trawling the globe looking for waifs and strays.She can put them up herself in a tent in her own garden.

What about the offence you have caused to the people of Tallaght, I still can't believe you believe anything you witnessed compare in anyway to what the people of Calais and the truck drivers going about their daily job have had to put up with for the last five years.Millions and millions worth of goods have had to be destroyed by the antics of these hooligans and lots of jobs put under threat.They don't care about that because all they want to do is get into the UK and go on benefits.
You are the one stereotyping here but thats okay because the people of Tallaght aren't "refugees"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary63 wrote: » Exactly the point I am making. BrianH is trying to belittle your experience by claiming its just a slight inconvenience and nothing worse than he saw growing up In Tallaght.He probably has never been to Calais and certainly never drove a truck with his heart beating in fear of being dragged from the cab and battered to death.There was also the fear of being caught with a stowaway which meant a big fine for the driver or the company who employed him.

Would it not be much better to help those in Refugee Camps bordering these dangerous regions instead of those in an illegal settlement. Its making one of Europe biggest transport hubs a nightmare to get through and not just for safety reasons. Its been dismantled,everyone who was there was offered asylum in France. Right now there is a new Calais Jungle emerging,filling up with lads who refused Safety in France and want back to Calais to illegally enter the U.K. There are far more refugees deserving of our help than people who continually break the law.

I mean rte news don't come on at 6pm showing videos from somewhere nothing has happened do they? I'm not sure why you think because some refugees commit crimes that they all do? Can you explain your reasoning on that?

I didn't think the video was tame at all
but then again I am a woman so gangs of marauding men frighten me.I didn't grow up In Tallaght so I didn't learn the necessary coping skills of a traumatic childhood surrounded by gangs of out of control people on heroin.This is why I find the pictures of scenes at Calais shocking and also wonder why there are never any young women present.The young men are properly dressed and look very well fed, they don't appear to have been affected in any way by the arduous journey to Calais.
I don't think there is any point in now telling me the people of Tallaght are mainly good,you expect me to believe the people of Calais are mainly good in spite of what I see on my own television screens.
I have read your posts, you said nothing you have seen reported from Calais is in anyway troubling to you because you saw worse growing up in Tallaght.This to me means Tallaght must have been a horrific place because Calais was a lawless jungle.You think because the prospect of us bringing in criminals doesn't bother you(because of your past) it shouldn't bother me either.I will decide what I should worry about, thank you very much.
