Peter Casey believes Travellers should not be recognised as an ethnic minority

https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/presidential-election-2018/listen-presidential-candidate-peter-casey-believes-travellers-should-not-be-recognised-as-an-ethnic-minority-37428508.html

Pretty bold statement...not a bad strategy though, unlikely many travellers vote, if any. The vast majority of voters despise them but can’t say as much.

“His comments were last night described by Pavee Point as “ill-informed and grossly insulting and offensive”.

And David Joyce, a member of the Travelling community and the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, told the Irish Independent: “He should withdraw from the campaign. He’s shown he’s not fit to represent all the people of Ireland.
“This man is a racist. He is scapegoating my community.”

What does scapegoating my community mean in relation to his opinion that they should not be recognised as an ethnic minority? In fact what does “scapegoating my community” even mean?

Its a spoof. Why was he not told to drive to Derry so?

Ive nothing against him btw, imo he tied himself up by mentioning Derry, should have stayed quiet.

Sure private jet to Belfast is ok now? That where we are? He and Labour would have went balistic at that years ago, but now he has the job its ok. Ironic.

D'you really think he says, 'Right Sabina, grab the keys we're off to Derry', or, 'Right Sabina grab the keys we're off to Baldonnel to catch the plane'.

I'd hazard a guess and say that his modes of transport and itineries are pre-arranged.

His salary is less than that. And he's also gifted his pension back.

So, yeah, he's doing a good job of filling his pocket by gifting all that back to the state.

Having a President. No need for it. We seem to think we are some oil rich nation. Salary's, Pensions, running costs. All for what someone to go shake a few hands, sign a few laws, they can do nothing.

I'd still consider picking a #2, unless the polling station is right on your morning walk.

In fairness hes done the best out of all Labour, other lads ended up in government for a year or two as ministers.

He's obviously lost some morales, that much is clear. Whether its expenses, fly to Belfast or 3000e room a night in hotels. Hes fallen from his perch imo.

Still a cake walk for him though.

Right on indeed, brother.

One thing he has shown is there is definitely room there for a political party not afraid to tell it like it is.

You're a bit bad at the ol' maths, there. 20*500=10,000. And the ol' currency conversion.

And the ol' election predictions, obvs.

Then your earlier confusion must have been simulated, for some badly failed effect.

No, it's what we call people from the alt-right. Is simples, but is AH, so I has to explain.

Certainly room for a member of either FF or FG to start shooting a bit straighter.

"Like it is," indeed.

That's also what the Trumpies used to say. These days they just post blatant lies and if you point out they're not quite accurate, tell ya "doesn't matter, we agree the heck out of it anyway!"

Casey could become this protest vote option now with people wanting to take the piss. Like a few years ago when a crazy song got the Christmas number 1, because people just wanted to have a go.
