The 'crime of apartheid' means inhumane acts of a character similar to those referred to in paragraph 1, committed in the context of an institutionalised regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.

So you're happy with anything other than death threats then - people pointing out to a business that it will be bad for their business if they let racists in, you've no problem with that, given the importance of free speech?

GRRRRR

We can already see that mass Immigration is a major contributory factor to the homeless crisis At least 30% of homeless poeple are Non-Nationals.

That's specific to Dublin, the national average is 12%... Dublin's homelessness is related to landlords and poor planning...
