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

Plumbthedepths · 03-11-2018 02:41PM

Just watched Casey's interview with Tubs again. Terrible effort by Tubs to attack Casey as for the PP idiots even worse effort. Casey held his own, Tubs and the PP idiots came across as fools. Poor show RTE, backfired spectacularly.

Just pointing out the irony of slagging others as being thick whilst unable to spell the word correctly. I do agree though the grammar nazi approach is unnecessary. Sometimes idiocy can only be responded in kind.

If you think that a typo is ironic you're obviously triggered that you fall into the thick as a ditch category, unless you genuinely believe someone who can operate a smart phone can't spell thick, in which case you're probably not self aware enough to have been triggered.

I am happy enough that settled people are called to account for their crimes and that generally for most settled people crime doesnt pay. If the proportion of settled people in prison was the same as the miniscule traveller population that would mean prisons in every townland.

The problem with travellers and crime is that they are untouchable and anyone who mentions their propeensit y for breaking laws in called a racist.

I understand you are probably employed by Pavee Point and of course you dont want any questions asked of travellers.

How can the Travellers be both ‘untouchable ‘ and the highest per capita population in prison.

Contradictory, no?

You seem quite triggered yourself, maybe go for a walk and calm down. ;-)

Incorrect. It’s typos, the plural of typo. If ye’re going to correct someone then be accurate.

If you keep saying it, maybe like Casey's original guff, you might believe it.

He went on a chat show to debate his comments. That isn't an 'attack'.

He was incoherent and ignorant and he's out of his depth.

Because in the minds of these bigoted fools if they're not all in jail obviously they're untouchable, the only good traveller is a dead one for these morons.

You keep asking this cohort to back up what they are saying, and like their leader - Casey, they fail miserably each time.

In my opinion it was a very poorly executed ambush. Didn't work for Tubs and co.

I have seen you being repeatedly asked to back up your claims that Casey is racist and engaged in hate speech. No replies and when you did deflection from what you are asked. As I said earlier you are tedious.

It worked for me, and I dare say many others.
Casey was revealed- AGAIN - to be a shallow egotist, with nothing to say after loudmouthing some soundbytes.

He looked ridiculous at times, tried to goad with semantics and failed.

My first question............. "What factors make travellers TODAY an ethnic minority"

Both serious and humorous replies welcomed.........

I'd say if you answered that either seriously or humorously it would result in a warning or claims of bigotry. Best off just letting everyone and everything identifying as whatever they want these days...

I never called him a 'rascist'. So you can forget that one.

And I said that generalised comments about a community is 'hate speech' imo.

Agreed terrible performance by Tubs, Casey held his own.

Casey made clear derogatory generalisations about Travellers being people ‘who camp on other people’s land’. True for a few but not true for the huge majority. Stuff like that willful ignorance stirs up hatred.

He then started on those on welfare but was unable to say anything coherent about that last night. I’m surprised more of you aren’t embarrassed for voting for that cretin.

Tubridy and company just don’t get it. In their clamer to be vocally outraged and to vilify Casey in the process they are in fact cementing Caseys support base and if anything increasing it. A new low from tubridy and that’s saying something.

We can not compare the Casey vote to trump / brexit but if the left leaning media maintain this unhealthy approach then I’m afraid it will further alienate an already frustrated sizeable number of our society and in turn open the door to god knows what.

He identifies as centre left.
He believes in all people being equal.
He is Anti Establishment....you know...like what Sinn Fein were trying to be before they got all woke in a spectacular misjudgment as typified by their own campaign.

All the vitriol and hyperbole in the world won't change Peter Caseys result and Sinn Feins result.

He did in 2 weeks what Sinn Fein have been trying to do for decades.

Less than 90 seconds of making her point. Casey rudely interrupted her twice as unable to hear a challenge. And the man wanted to be our chief diplomat. FFS.

She went on an incoherent rant and both Casey and tubridy eventually had to ask 'whay is your actual question'

You did, you also prior to the election stated you would like to see Casey in prison. Again you can't back up your claims of hate speech. Nothing more than your opinion.

I'd never call people up on typos usually but there's something majestic about it when it happens this way. Calling people stupid or thick and fluffing it. It's just a little bit of irony and it's kinda funny.

What? Lost an election by the greatest margin in the Republic’s 97 year history?

And him identifying as centre-left shows his understanding of politics matches some of his fans on here.
