What truth does he tell? The guy doesn't even appear to be paying taxes in this country. All I see is a rich guy who will do fVck all to alleviate the problems of this state and the gimps who will enable him to get into a position where he can only cause more damage. As for direct provision yes something needs to be done about the length that people are held in it in this state. There should be enough resources in place to hasten decisions and either deport those who don't have a case or let those who do start their new lives in this country and contribute to it. I see nothing from this guy bar soundbites and absolutely nothing of substance on real solutions to real problems.

What he's doing here is appealing to the same people who suddenly supported him during the presendential election when he attacked travellers but going after another minority group. It's pure cynicism and appealing to the lowest common denominator who just want someone else to blame for their own problems. Casey could do nothing about travellers as President and nothing about direct provision as an MEP, but there's a cohort of easily manipulated people out there who will vote for him solely on the basis that he's going after them.

Lads like Jean Paul Juncker and Donald tusk will be very uncomfortable when actual representatives of the people arrive to Brussels to shake things up.

(You do realise that's the alternative, right ? - and don't bother saying, no, the alternative is to put them all on planes. That is not legally possible. You cannot deport asylum seekers ) If you think Peter Casey is going to change the Common European Asylum system, not to mention our own domestic immigration laws, then I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment.

What are the policies you like about Casey that matches his mouth? He has none, therefore will do f*ck all, and gullible fools will keep voting for him because underneath it all, they're probably a little bit racist.

These aren't campaign issues. He can't effect any change to these situations in either of the roles he stood for. He's going after the easiest of targets to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

It's actually great to see. I don't know what his policies are. He's not elected yet. We'll see what they are once he gets his seat. I'm just glad to see someone who is not afraid to speak his mind.
