An ever decreasing group of people demanding that everyone stops what they're doing to listen to their rants and diatribe on a daily basis. There is a reason why you lads are never listened to. When you start taking crime seriously, all crime regardless of the background of the perpetrators, people will start taking you seriously.

When they are native Irish(or part of the general Irish consciousness) they are us, they're part of the national consciousness, these kids exist outside of our culture. I don't know why but that just makes it more unsettling in my opinion

I read someone say that it feels like European countries were lost in a poker game and that really felt like a spot on assessment to me. It feels like we're simply the lowest priority in our own countries.

Deliveroo drivers being attacked by Irish kids = National news for days, cries of xenophobia and racism Ethnic African gangs assault people in North Co. Dublin every week for over a year = **** all in the media Funny how that works.

All you can do is reply with abuse, you freeze up when you're actually asked to think about it.

It's a discussion board. Why not answer the poster's question? If his assertions are in fact ''pure bollix'', then simply dispute them and show him up.

I’ve worked every day of my life since leaving school and have never taken a cent in dole. I’m no saint but I’ve never hurt anyone or stolen from them. I’ve always contributed. I resent paying over half of everything I earn in both direct and indirect taxation while getting fluck all in return because we’re spending so much money supporting these gougers and their families. No healthy able bodied person should ever get a cent from the government without a day’s work in return. Looking around my area I can see years of work for them. You want money, you earn it. Otherwise you starve. Earning money builds a sense of self worth and respect. Everyone wins. Leo said he was going to look after those of us who get up in the morning. Well Leo’s a blatant liar. Our current policies and approach only serves to build a greater divide in our society and the problems we see with these gangs are only a glimpse of what’s to come.
