Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings - updated 11/5/24*

Boggles sorry I did not look at who I responded to.

Like I have previously stated I will not waste my time engaging with you considering your disingenuous posting style.

I apologise for quoting your post.

So basically you have been caught spreading the same old racist tropes and you are now taking the moral high ground. 😂

So 86% polled say there is a limit to the numbers we can take in, yet the government is still saying no limit. Talk about being out of tune with the electorate.

The stats post looks like a contradiction you restict the numbers and you are not following International obligations of protection.

Marcos is that you from p.ie ?

But clearly, from the 84% that want to see a cap on numbers introduced, people want to see controlled levels of immigration.

I thought you disregarded polls last week?

Anyway you are reading too much into it.

The answer to the question.

There is a limit to what Ireland can cope with. -sic

Should be.

Is yes, 100% agree, obviously.

The answer to should Ukrainians be treated differently to other asylum seekers. -sic

That should also be 100%. Obviously.

If you ask remedial questions with the only option of yes/no answers the data that produces is going be absolutely useless.

No it's inherently racist.

Same sort of feral scum that would have thrown bananas at black English footballers back in the day.

Who are you talking about?

Well no.

The case in question were British citizens by birth, predominately of Pakistani heritage, Pakistan a country where Lizzy was actually queen of for a time.

So when you refer to "History" what do you actually mean?

British on paper maybe but not by history

What's an adequate amount of this "history" before you are no longer considered "British on paper".

Is Raheem Sterling only "British on paper maybe but not by history"?

So you can't be British unless you are white?

This is what you said

British on paper maybe but not by history

In 1951 the white population of Britain was 99.83%.

Maybe in another 100 years or so. Depends on your own views

So what you are exactly saying is the only 100% British people in Britain are white?

The likes of the Prime Minister is only paper British?

Correct?

And stop trying to put words in my mouth

I quoted your words.

British on paper maybe but not by history

In 1951 the white population of Britain was 99.83%.

Maybe in another 100 years or so. Depends on your own views

On the point of "bogus" asylum seekers, I would imagine most people in the country would have no issue at all with their claim being refused and them being asked to leave (otherwise the entire system would risk being undermined by spurious claims and applicants).

Overall, I was very reassured by the poll. Irish people seem to be taking a nuanced approach to the issue and are seemingly not being swayed at all by any extremists. It's perfectly legitimate to say they are fully in favour of asylum seekers being accepted, but also that they have a lot of concerns over the accommodation issue and whether the system has the capacity to cope at present.

Joe Costello, Labour Party Councillor and former TD, showed up at the Aughrim St protest last night. Came there to reach out to the protestors by letting them know non Ukrainians wouldn't be put in the Center.

I believe the smart political move is to welcome any councillors - even ones who joined counter demos only a month ago like Joe did.

It's all about normalisation and mainstreaming the protestors and their views. A councillor showing up at one of our protests is already something. Us reciprocating that would really put the wind up the NGOs and the government.

However that smart political move collided with the anger and resentment towards politicians that the protestors feel and Joe was run out of it.

A pity. Never mind. It's a learning process. Next time.

BTW the Tweet with the video is courtesy of Ireland Against Fascism who do invaluable work in highlighting and promoting material on our side especially advertising upcoming protests. It's my go to place for info on what's happening.

Three main reasons I believe.

1. Ireland is richer now. In the 1980s Ireland wasn't rich and nobody wanted in. They can make good money now on the international protection racket and later when there is an amnesty in employment.

2. Social media - the world knows how the west live and they want a piece of the action. Much social media is people showing off and migrants show off how (relatively) they are better off in the west to those on their feed back home. Also don't get me started on O'Gorman.

3. Trafficking networks have evolved and NGOs are an integral part of that network. Care for Calais and the like. They also have marketing on tic toc or what have you.(Here I'm referring to the criminal traffickers)
