Most that gloss over them (Gems etc) on here either haven't a clue what they are writing off, or support what they stand for and either come right out about it, or don't have the stones to do so and just make snide remarks about people highlighting the fact Gems etc are scrotes.

However we live in a democracy and the thugs who gathered outside to disrupt a candidates meeting should be ashamed of themselves and their embarrassing behaviour. I would like to see stricter immigration policies implemented in our country. Similar to Canada or Australia where you are vetted and accepted on a probationary basis. Am I a racist?
DubInMeath wrote: » Well people in a democracy have the right to protest, especially political gatherings, and gatherings masquerading as political gatherings. Surely as someone who supports democracy you support the right to protest political meetings? Nothing really different between protesting Gems and co, and farmers shutting down the FG cabinet meeting in Cork last year.

You need a visa, which you have to apply for in advance, and if you want to work or study, it needs to be a work or student visa? There's a whole website about it.

These lunatics will be forgotten about soon enough I feel giving them attention like that only makes matters worse. I saw quite a bit of backslapping from the people who were outside on their facebook pages. I got the feeling a lot of it was them also looking for attention or for others to say "well done" you saved us again from the nazis. Highly embarrassing stuff.
