What's multicultural to you.

My brother works with a guy who says similar stuff and never stops going on about immigrants, asylum seekers etc.

Turns out he is married to a Russian girl, when pointed out that this is actually multicultural it apparently doesn't fit his definition.

Hmmmm.

Reminds me of Nigel Farage and Gemma O'Doherty and their migrants spouses. Such hypocrysy spending so much time hating foreigners but not their spouse.

I grew up in the 80's and it was absolutely wonderful. I'm sorry for your awful childhood but it wasn't bad for everyone.

I should clarify. I had plenty of good times growing up. There was things about growing up in eighties that were great. I was more on about the lack of difference in food, restaurants that other cultures can bring. And the lack of opportunity for people due to inept politicians and lastly our wonderful education system of getting beat around the place. So good and bad. And of course Euro 88.

So, they would live beside people of their own culture, marry within their culture and not make an effort to learn the new language.

Sounds like Brits in Spain

Just to clarify, you are using Gemma's dead husband as a stick to beat her with, yeah?

Nope. Using her racism for that.

The number 90% who fail to get asylum then appeal and get to stay is something to complain about .I don't have a problem with EU workers coming here they integrate but the access to welfare is too easy . I do have a problem with those non EU that do not work ,integrate and abuse the system a.Iwonder at what point does it become a multicultural overdose .The loss of sovernty to the EU and national identity is accelerating .In your opinion how much is too much or is there never enough .

Will you give over.

All EU workers retain their languages and large aspects of their own culture - you are making it sound like Petra from Poland no longer pops to the local Polish shop to buy pickled veg as soon as she sets foot in Portmarnock and Francois from France no longer parlez vous' and is indistinguishable from a Finglas born and bred native Dub.

People do not abandon their cultural identity when they move. Exactly as the Irish did in the UK - and south effin Boston - granted we already killed our language but the accents remain- the excitement when bodice was spotted in a butchers in London used to be a sight to behold - culchi's flocking from far flung boroughs to buy it. Irish pubs. Irish music. Taytos in the shops. Irish enclaves where everyone was related or from the same cluster of small villages in Mayo or Sligo. "Ah shure, we'll go to Cricklewood cos our Auntie Madgie is there and all the cousins and their wives and childer."

Nor are we anywhere near some 'overdose' of non EU nationals. Though I suspect if you see a non-white face you assume non-EU national when they could just as easily have been born in Hackney, or Cardiff, or Vienna, or Milan, or Nice.

They integrate better than non EU .I don't mind the polish shops and the language you seem to also they tend to have friends of their own nationality and marry them. This applies to all non nationals here each to his own. I usually reserve where a person is from until I hear them speak you forgot they could also be new Irush. You did not mention the limit for non EU with emphasis on irregular migration

Oh dear - did I not go down the rabbit hole you want me to?
The immigration of Non- E.U nationals is controlled. It has always been controlled.

Well, that's not quite true. Between 1998 and 2004 we allowed jus soli and had a problem with pregnant women arriving here and laying down anchor babies so their children would automatically gain citizenship.

Today we still have illegal immigrants masquerading as asylum seekers coming here to game the asylum system.

How much or little they adapt to Irish culture (whatever that is -it varies from region to region) is no one's business but their own.

Now here's the thing, some cultures are less evolved than others as they still practice backward things, like child grooming for example. There are countless Pakistani Muslim child grooming gangs in Northern England, who are praying on underage chav girls, by giving them drugs, alcohol and then having sex with them.


You say them adapting to our culture is none of our business. Would you still utter those sentiments if you had a daughter who was targeted by these gangs?

You don't even have to look to England, there are Africans who bring their daughters to backdoor doctors or back home to Africa to undergo female genital mutilation. Do we ignore this? Is this none of our business either?

Refugees is a different thing. We are signatories to a Treaty.

It's actually open to interpretation, hence the reason why Japan and Korea take in feck all refugees.

We are also a people who have produced a hell of a lot of economic refugees in our history.

You mean Britain produced a hell of a lot of economic refugees. Food was still being exported when were starving to death. Most of our population decline was under British rule.

As for E.U. people integrate 'better' than Non E.U - have you proof of this?
I must be imagining the pronounced German and English accents I hear in West Cork.

You're using accents as a measure of how well people are integrating?

Black Africans have an employment rate of 40%, versus 65% of the general population.

We have the second-highest rate per capita of Muslims joining ISIS. I doubt many of them are from EU countries and I doubt many of them are indigenous to Europe, Lisa Smith and Terry (Kaliid) Kelly being the obvious exceptions.

We have gangs of African youths carrying out violent muggings and beatings in various towns in North County Dublin. A 14-year-old in my hometown was left for dead a few weeks ago. I don't see any gangs of German or Eastern European youths doing this.

The last example is anecdotal, but I'd say EU migrants are integrating a lot better than non-EU.

Like Kilburn used to be?

I went there once in the 80's.
It was awful.
Like being in a weird rural Ireland plonked into an urban landscape dystopian nightmare but without the amusement of moving statues.

You were there once and are an expert. Of course there were Irish pubs where Irish people gathered. That is where they felt comfortable. The ordinary Irishman and Irishwoman in London wasnt being invited up to Notting Hill dinner parties to mingle with the Tories and pseudo socialists of the Labour Party.
Go through Kilburn Cricklewood Kentish Town now and while there is the odd sign of the Irish it is mostly East European shops and people now

Child grooming has nothing to do with being Muslim or Pakastani. Nothing.

If you want to go down that road, then we should hang our heads in shame because of Irish Roman Catholic priests who went all over the world molesting, grooming and raping children.

But if course you will agree that those priests were not representative of either the church or Ireland.
As for the rest of your Tommy Robinson rant....
