Ukrainian refugees in Ireland - Megathread

"I have less to say of import than a pebble"

Fair enough.

No, just people with houses apparently.

It's one of the more delusional claims to be fair.

I think your views are at best myopic and in reality completely idiotic, xenophobic and have not even a toehold in reality. But thankfully there would be a minority view of the permanently outraged and weak minded, who in reality would not be what you would call functioning members of Irish society anyway, so I suppose, irony?

The Fritzl thing clearly went over your head. Whoosh. 😂

And again I don't believe I would actually have to say this but no you don't have to master any language to get a job or be of value to society.

The painter I use is hearing and speech impaired, very tidy worker also gives an enormous amount of his time to the club. But again no value to society according to some. It's fringe lunacy. But thankfully like I say a small minority of online malcontents.

Perhaps some people have only ever been employed in roles which required them to be being constantly given "simple instructions" over and over again........

So I take it that your works requires you being given simple instructions to do things?

These superheroes of migration aren't worth debating on that level.

They cannot utter a word to the prime problems, instead they try to argue over inconsequential froth. Their level.

It gives the pretence that there's some kind of equal footing on issues. It's a mirage.

Is functionality and competence in language something of concern for large swathes of extra people? Of course it is. It SHOULD go without saying. However, you get the invariable pushback of trite nonsense like "a person doesn't NEED to speak a language competently, why, there was this one time I was in the garden with Uncle Bob, it was a pleasant day, though I can't be sure now that I think of it, anyway, the price of butter..something something I know a bloke with no tongue that could lift a tractor THEREFORE a huge migrant population doesn't necessarily need to speak english".

Bullcrap bottom feeding.

Same with the other poster. I print out the text of one article citing multiple incidences of planning permission violations with regard the goldrush of migration in frankly crazy scenarios, I specifically mention one of which I know wHere a basement was being built...

and of course all other evidence of reality is immediately cast aside, and the poster insists its unbelievable, and that I better provide exact proof of that one super specific thing or ELSE that means there's no problem with this unsustainable migration.

It's all shite. These people have nothing to say about anything, they'll sidestep all of pertinence to just obfuscate with go-nowhere non-ideas of no importance.

There is no point in reacting to such trivial stuff.

The bottom line is that there are far too many people in this country and it is, quite worryingly for some, becoming nigh on impossible to ignore.

im not friends with any Ukrainians on Facebook, the only ones whom I knew in real life were two people from there in old jobs a long long time before the invasion..

yet my Facebook ‘suggested friends / people who I might know ‘ list is populated a lot with for some reason Ukrainian girls in their 20’s….they have seemingly zero links to my current friends on Facebook as it would tell you, yet 40-50% are…Ukranian, female, in their 20’s ? Erm how does that transpire… ALL seemingly single in fact none are shown in a profile pic with a boyfriend or indeed even a family member or friend, just solo pics… odd.
