Secondly, demonise them with the "Racist!!!!!" tag.......and in doing so trying to end any open discussion on the topic. Just in case you haven't made an effort to read over some of the last few pages of this thread........ you'd see the topic of White Flight been brought up. And given what is happening in Balbriggan, it is not too far a stretch to suggest that Balbriggan and other areas are heading for the same fate as hundreds of cities across Europe and America. But factual evidence on the Leftists part and the burden of proof that White Flight won't happen just as they have happened in countless areas similiar to what Balbriggan is experiencing can't be doneSo instead just scream.....racist!!!!

Basically Balbriggan is a blueprint for what not to do when planning the expansion of a town

The planners and council most have known the town had disproportionate immigrant population in recent years. They must have known they are creating a ghetto. Exact same mistakes we were told Ireland would avoid.

For ultra liberals and leftist groups, it is not just enough to push through their agenda; they accept no compromise and it's either their way or no way. While one of the platforms for the Far Right party in Andalusia is controlling their borders and restricting immigration, which is understandable as 53,000 crossed into the region from North Africa this year, the other platforms are rather bothersome e.g. restricting abortion and rolling back domestic violence laws. But as I said, citizens are forced into voting for the party that will restrict illegal economic migration. They cannot continue accepting 53,000 economic migrants from Africa into Andalusia every year. Ireland will similarly react, but it will take a little more time.

Of course it has nothing to do with widespread arson, rampant crime and a failure of ethnic integration and the resulting white flight based on understandable fear. No, no, no....... Detroit is the way it is today because of some evil white men and the collapse of the Ford factories. Nothing at all to do with the thousands of events which have happened since the early 1970s.

All Seeing Eye wrote: » The balbriggan situation has unfolded like a slow motion car crash and will continue to do so. The first Africans arrived in the early 2000s in the town as the economy was picking up and new houses were being built for working people with mortgages. They then encouraged their friends to come live here as they graduated from Mosney camp. Now as their families grow up we are starting to see the results of this with crime, grime and economic stagnation becoming the norm. What’s next for Balbriggan? Probably something like white flight where white people who are sick of the problems start to move to other towns. So basically the future of balbriggan looks bleak. Something we’ve seen happen to many towns and cities in America.
