I doubt that even 20% of the country were watching it, but of course the whole country were out on the streets dancing and celebrating a 3rd goal after being 2 goals up, in a competition that no one really cares about 😅
'' The whole country was celebrating '' . Really !! I never noticed .
We're early awaiting for you to back up your claims if you get a minute.
Where did you see these comments and videos??
Do you really think that a very small group of what seems like single older Irish men with many thousands of anti-immigration posts on an online forum is representative of the wider public? Considering the wider public have historically shown distain and mockery towards any far right agitators who try to make a run for government? Wouldn't it be much more logical to conclude that the wider public would show distain and mockery towards that group of lads on the forum? You only have to look at the results of the elections.
Covid was arguably a good way to measure how they'll approach things. Instead of adding some sense to the debate, they went the other way, and were nearly always arguing for even stricter policies.
Sure there is, and the majority of posters are against the present model of multicultural /immigration that we have here in Ireland. And for everyone posting here against this model, you can be sure that there are presently thousands of people holding the same view, but they are not posting on boards or other forums. Let the politicians give them means to express their views, and you will see what people really think. But the politicians won't do that, will they DaCor? They know only too well what the results would be.
The only changes Sinn Fein have outwardly signalled making are MORE MORE MORE of the same.
Just goes to show how bad people want change. And feel they have no options except to vote for SF. Everyone that I know is going the same way. They are saying why not? Could not be any worse than what we have had since the foundation of the state. Musical chairs. and what ever great politicians we have had in the past, regardless of party, that particular well of talent has been long absent.
Those types are as bad as hardcore FG/FF voters. I'm honestly yet to find one SF voter who can actually show me one policy that they are pushing that will actually improve anything. The whole thing seems to be one big mindless rebellion.
This should be interesting
Links?
I've seen a few comments and videos by Irish guys on the right saying they can't watch football now and rueing the fact that the country was buzzing after that Obafemi screamer. It really depressed them to see the stadium erupt in celebrations, not to mention every pub in the country.
I feel exactly the same and I will be spoiling my vote. What scares me is the amount of people, including my own family, who think that a protest vote for SF is going to make things better. Yeah, handing a terrorist organisation to shoot you in the head when you're on your knees is not a smart move, not unless you have a death wish.
Isn't that same Nigerian loon from a very wealthy tribe that made their money from the slave trade? Maybe I'm misremembering it but I seem to recall reading it somewhere. She's gone awfully quiet these days, thankfully.
I saw that alright, I think for many that crack is going to be the straw that broke the camels back. My own mother is waiting for surgery that keeps being rescheduled. Both my parents have medical cards but my Dad is in so much pain we chip in to pay for him to get care for his pain management privately. I'm going to be totally honest here, I don't support any foreign soldiers or foreign anyone being flown to this country to our woefully stretched hospital services and treated ahead of Irish people. There were 5 of them over 2 days. That's 5 beds that Irish patient on waiting lists won't be occupying based on new directive. Enough with this crap already. Yeah, I feel sympathy for the Ukrainian people but only 20% of their country is at war and our government seems to be treating Ukrainians like they're the second coming of Christ.
It seems we should all be working with the people of Rwanda to make the deportations a success, and end the business model of criminal people traffickers.
Something that is also bad for the environment, with flights back and forth and increased carbon emissions.
Rwanda calls for UK deportation scheme to be given 'a chance' after Prince Charles 'says policy is appalling' | World News | Sky News
Rwanda's government has asked for the scheme to send some illegal migrants to its country to be given "a chance", after Prince Charles is said to have privately called it "appalling".
Yolande Makolo, a spokesperson for the Kigali government, told Sky News the scheme is "well thought out" and it is the responsibility of governments of Africa to give people on the continent the chance to live "decent" lives, without the need to emigrate.
She said what was "appalling" was that migrants were risking "their lives crossing the ocean, trying to cross the desert", rather than being given the chance to have "dignified" lives in their home countries.
Yes of course, that was my point. The white western man did not invent slavery, but it's the only one that abolished it. Maybe we deserve some recognition for that :)
Basically more of the same: We have our own existing social problems, so let's blindly and with gusto import more and different social problems on top. With the same naivete and nebulous "addressing of problems" that no nation who has run this busted flush has been able to address with much success, because all of them have the exact same trends. Funny that...
Well, slavery and Nigeria have been synonymous for centuries. Anyone with even basic schooling has heard of the Ivory Coast and the Gold Coast of Africa, some may have even heard of the Pepper Coast, all European names for areas of trade and resources. Well there was also the Slave Coast and Nigeria was at its centre.
The traditional slave trade in Southern Nigeria preceded the arrival of European influence,[4] and continued locally long after the effective abolition of slavery in many other countries.[5]
With the arrival of the transatlantic slave trade, traditional slave traders in southeastern Nigeria became suppliers of slaves to European slave traders.[4] Although local slavery was officially prohibited by the colonial British administration from the mid-1880s,[6] they tacitly permitted it to continue well into the 1930s,[7] ending completely only in the 1940s.[5]
In 1961, the newly independent First Nigerian Republic ratified the 1926 Slavery Convention.
So when that rabble rousing galoot from that neck of the woods was flipping out about statues outside a Dublin hotel sans knowledge and a brain in her head, I did have to chuckle. The blind idiocy and a lack of self awareness and irony that was close to a medical condition was indeed laughable. Given she was from that neck of the woods and didn't end up like the millions of poor devils destroyed by that evil trade, the chances are very high her ancestors were involved in it and/or benefitted from it. An evil trade that the nasty White man bright a halt to, while African and Arab continued on.
As for "cultural context"; there was an article on the BBC a few years ago where another Nigerian "academic" explained this away as "their culture" and effectively they knew no better and the White Man(tm) exploited them. Well as we have come to see in the oppressed/oppressor narrative of all identity politics, the Opressed can never be at fault and have no agency.
We need to judge them in the context of their culture, right?
Ireland produces more medical graduates than any other country relative to its population, but relies more heavily on foreign-trained doctors than almost anywhere else, a new report shows.
Ireland produces 24.9 medical graduates per 100,000 population, well above the next country, Denmark, and almost twice the international average of 13.1, according to the 2018 Health at a Glance report from the OECD.
However, Ireland’s share of foreign-trained doctors is the third highest among western countries, at 42.3 per cent
This is not a good thing to cheerlead. It ignores the causes and allows the system to rot and removes any incentive to improve. We may train more than everywhere else but the sheer lack of internships after means they leave (among other reasons).
"The high turnover of such doctors confirms earlier research which shows that international recruitment is not an effective strategy; and many of those recruited are leaving Ireland for the same reasons that Irish doctors leave"
I want anyone who moves to Ireland to have a good enough life to want to stay. I also do not want Irish quality of life to drop. This means any incumbent migrants benefit too. Much migration can be mutually beneficial. But sheer numbers are detrimental no matter how highly skilled the migrants are. It just ensures an over supply of labour or in the case of Doctors and Nurses (skilled professions) it prevents conditions from ever improving. So beware those claiming the solution is an Australian style skilled system only.
To hell with a race to the bottom.
only one in five migrant nurses intended to remain in Ireland in the long-term
38% of nurses newly registered in Ireland came from outside the EU
How many of those criticising the multicultural aspect of us are not cheering on the Boys in Green? Ya gotta be consistent in your anti immigration stance those of you who think like that..
Pay and conditions for healthcare staff in Ireland results in huge numbers of them emigrating. More than half went to just Australia In 2018.
2018:
The number of visa applications granted by Australia to Irish doctors rose to 391 last year
RCSI Graduate School of Healthcare Management, told The Journal that around 725 doctors graduate each year
Instead of increasing the numbers being trained (internships lacking) and improving pay and conditions we backfill with 3rd world labour and enable the rot to continue.
"Africa contributes the highest number of doctors with 28% and Pakistan supplies more than 20% of Ireland’s foreign-trained doctors."
Its a microcosm for Ireland as a whole. If you think this approach will lead to sunshine and lollipops you are a danger to yourself and others.
Well if those folks don't feel represented and don't want to represent themselves there's always the comments section of journal.ie
What do you suggest???
I guess that’s the ‘our people’ rhetoric well and truly gone out the window then 😬
The labour force in the Coonbe?..is quite the force I see that Swedish man referencing the mass exodus to europe. how does our leader in response plan on recruiting these talents; as he puts it for the company of Ireland without the aid of an identity let alone a CV. The bar is raised? God knows, there’s some fantastic limbo dancers amongst them I’m certain but that is taking the proverbial. Our leader in response to a mass invasion turns it into a power of attraction piece fantasising of recruiting these swindlers before they’re even set foot in the island. Like the spineless gombeen corporate drone; he’s a pathetic shill altogether.
I’m not forgetting the large numbers coming now who are unskilled and don’t speak English. I’m well aware of them.
Your links a bit random but what do you think of it yourself? I’m with Cathal Berry on this one, Mattie McGrath can go shyte tbh 😒
The transfers were coordinated by the European Union with the Health Service Executive and the National Ambulance Service, under the auspices of the European Disaster Relief Project.
“While we have to act in a humanitarian way, this is clearly taking sides in the war,” said Independent TD Mattie McGrath, who accused the government of “pushing and pushing and pushing” at Ireland’s neutrality.
“This is a step too far.”
However, Independent TD and former soldier Cathal Berry welcomed the move.
“Thousands of Irish citizens travel abroad for medical treatment every year under the EU Cross Border Directive," he said.
"Also, dozens of Irish doctors have trained in medical schools in Ukraine in recent years and are now working in the HSE.
"Our Air Corps are already flying premature and critically ill Ukrainian babies to Ireland where we have some spare neo-natal intensive care capacity.
"It’s only right and proper that we look after wounded people - whether soldier or civilian - from Putin’s unprovoked, brutal and completely unnecessary war in Ukraine.”
Very close if the clowns in the government still think the doubling of our population on this island is going to work, and very very close if people like you agree with them.
