    I'm enjoying the stuff you've been doing since you went on that break. Well done.

    She does, take it from me. The votes were due to Skangers can't find polling stations. Eventually they will. Mark my words. She is practically a god among the Lldl cheap booze brigades.

    In Beaumont there has been some of Gemma O'Doherty fans pasting notices on lamp posts. Basically saying Irish people will become extinct due to immigration. They have links to BS about the whole thing. I have been going around taking them down but the pop back up a week or 2 later. They are doing it at night as I see them when I walk the dogs in the morning.

    Is anybody else seeing these around? Curious if it is a lone nutter or coordinated thing happening everywhere.

    Why are you taking them down?

    Show some faith in people to have enough sense not to be taken in

    I would have more respect for her than someone like you who would deny her the freedom of speech just because you are so clearly biased against her politics, in a democratic society there is a place for her and her types but it the sheer rank hypocrisy of the left that is driving moderates like myself over to further right wing positions, even moderates on the left are now gone full hard Marxist squeezing the middle-moderates again.

    The liberal tolerant left, only when it suits them of course. I'm not a Gemma O'Doherty supporter and I met her this year and she is not a very pleasant woman at all, but I will defend her right to preach whatever brand of politics she wants unlike the leftwing fascists who would shut you down with violence or whatever means because they don't agree on topic.

    Being a cvnt isnt a political persuasion. Shes a low rent Katie Hopkins, who is a mega cvnt.

    On the contrary, being a xxxx is pretty much the essence of being a politician.

    Why does anyone give a f*ck where their neighbours are from or what colour people are? I can't understand it. If they're decent friendly people that's all that matters to me. If white people go extinct sooner or later why would you care? Some people...

    Nonsense.

    She's way out on the fringes and the more she tries to get larger following the less attractive she becomes.
    1 elections and the couple of protests and rallies are pretty good measure of her popularity. It's close to zilch bar a handful of devout nutters.

    I'm sure people were saying something like this about Romans when the Roman Empire was going through the final stages of its civilisation.

    Don’t be so nihilistic you’re a rare bird as it is

    Ok we need to be a little less selfish about this. I think I can safely say that there are more than enough brown themed people in their respective collective regions that would miss us, more than we’d seemingly miss ourselves and that’s before the self loathing even comes into play. Try putting yourself in their shoes I mean I know I wouldn’t like it too much if there were no azians in this world. So why would you want to deprive them of us?

    I think their point is if, say in a few centuries, nobody has white skin anymore because of mixed race coupling, would that matter? If so, why? I don’t think the poster wants extinction of white people.

    That’s what I took from that comment anyway.

    The whites will become more black than the blacks themselves.

    Because it is pretty horrible for anybody who they are targeting to see. I really don't get how people don't understand this is the same as somebody putting swastikas about.

    This is friends, family, work colleagues, people serving you etc... they are insulting.

    It is also graffiti which regardless of the content is still illegal. I hope to catch the person and have them charged along with being named and shamed. The fact they do it at night is to hide what they are doing

    I think Gemma was always an outsider, Even when she was years writing for the independent, she was never once on any Radio/TV panel shows.

    Cheers, aye I'll keep an eye out myself for them too. I remember seeing a sticker from some head case plastered all over celtic Park last year. Can't remember the fellas name but he seems to be a fairly well known conspiracy theory/Catholic fundamentalist around Dublin.

    You're ok with lies being spread? With incitement to hatred and defacing of public property?

    Pat, your philosophy of "People should be free to do whatever they want, otherwise fascism" never seems to take into consideration those who are affected badly by others doing whatever they want.

    Most politicians spread lies on a constant basis. I'm not ok with it, but picking and choosing who to take to task over it is hypocritical in the extreme.
    With incitement to hatred

    The definition of such being hotly contested by many different parties.
    and defacing of public property?

    Ban all election posters and flyers then, and do so through a formal or legislative process. Not by selectively doing so against certain people with whom you do not agree, with the express intention of silencing them because you believe their message should not be heard.
    Pat, your philosophy of "People should be free to do whatever they want, otherwise fascism" never seems to take into consideration those who are affected badly by others doing whatever they want.

    I never said anyone should be free to do whatever they want, but people should be free to say whatever they want when it comes to ideology. And there is no price not worth paying for that. Without freedom of ideological expression, democracy cannot exist. If there are any form of rules disallowing certain ideologies from taking part in the political process, then democracy is by definition incomplete.

    Democratic decisions and ideologies routinely harm people. The current government is harming people on a daily basis through a wide variety of either disastrously incompetent or deliberately malicious policy decisions - but the people voted for this government, and those participating in the aforementioned government were allowed to go to the people and ask for their support, including distributing posters and campaign material in order to raise awareness of their campaigns.

    I don't like this government or what they're doing, but that's democracy. Tough sh!t for me until the next election - as it should be.

    I'm glad you feel that way. It is clear that you don't understand the difference between freedom of speech and hate speech.

    There is no such thing as "hate speech". That's only a way to control what people can say.

    I am neither. I just support free speech because it's the bedrock of every democracy.
