FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3 - Threadbanned User List in OP

This rotating Taoiseach thing wouldn't want to become the norm, we will have to pay for the pensions of three Taoisigh instead of one when this useless Government is eventually put out of its misery.

Refugees who come through Britain are not welcome in this country, according to this government.

Pathetic by Clifford.

He must be gunning for a job at the Sindo, British Telegraph or Spectator magazine when the Irish Times/Examiner goes bust with his constant anti-Shinner rhetoric

He fails to actually quote any SF member or provide a source, then blames them for the British border in Ireland, which both they, and his FFG masters, wanted open.

I'd imagine SF want a reunified Ireland to solve this problem, but then Clifford knows this.

Another West Brit Cork hack

"The main opposition didn’t cover itself in glory either this week. It now seems that every Sinn Fein rep is schooled to begin every utterance on the asylum issue with the words: “Sinn Fein is opposed to open borders”. The strategy is little more than a dog whistle, throwing out to voters that there may well be open borders — as some have been indoctrinated to believe — but the Shinners are not in favour of them.

Apart, of course, from the one open border that was shown during the week to be highly porous, that which divides the northeast with the rest of this island. Maybe Sinn Féin want it closed. Has their desperation to arrest a decline in support now pushed them towards a partitionist mentality? The flip-flopping by the party on this issue has just got a lot flipping floppier."

What the government were calling "dangerous, populist, xenophobia" two years ago when people were questioning their no-limit immigration policy, they are now promising deportation left right and centre! 🤣

Seems we have reached the limit at last.

Helen McEntee has gone full populist at the moment but seems to be not that good at it. Her message is Refugees Out.

The Government haven't got a clue on what they are doing and are just reacting, badly, to what is going on. Irs no surprise, well except the Government, that there would be an 8mpaact of the UK Rwanda deal.

Fleeing an active war zone is the easiest way to qualify for asylum.

Its intended purpose is to help people who need it most. Which would be people fleeing actual war zones. Its also the defense of the system that people, including the post I was replying to and our government until very recently, regularly jump to - they attempt to suggest all of our asylum seekers are fleeing war zones so none can be rejected/deported.

The fact the system largely hasn't done that to date, and its been widely abused by economic migrants, is entirely down to government mismanagement - not any flaw with the concept itself. Economic migrants from safe places like Georgia, or people who've decided to come here after already spending months/years in the UK or France or elsewhere, should be being rejected and deported instantly so that they're not using up valuable, scarce, resources that could be better used on people more desperate and deserving for help.

“West Brit, an abbreviation of West Briton, is a derogatory term for an Irish person who is perceived as Anglophilic in matters of culture or politics”

Recycling gammon catchphrases about ‘Eyeland’ and ‘Europe’ not preparing to dissolve itself to help the British exit failure would be construed as not very attractive English characteristics.

“According to Boyd, "The West Briton is the near Englishman ... an unfriendly caricature, the reductio ad absurdum of the least attractive English characteristics”

Clifford knows damn well what he is doing.

The government look extremely two faced with the latest flip flopping. It's Lisa Chambers style politics. Too late anyway, the electorate will absolute see through their duplicity. I mean last week McEntee showed that she hadn't a scooby doo about the deportation metrics and this week she is bringing in "emergency" legislation. They have known about UK immigration policy for ages and knew the risks. We all knew the NI border was a highway for immigrants. The coalition of chaos have never stopped giving since 2020. June and Oct/Nov are worth waiting for.

Harris and McEntee are going to get their arses handed to them by the Brits and it's good enough for them.

They can bring in whatever legislation they like but I'm guessing the Brits will say the migrants won't be going anywhere and there's f all Harris can do about it.

Tough my eye.

It's rather like Leo getting tough in his welfare cheats campaign a few tears ago.

Nothing learned by FG, always punching down.

Cleverly told her he just remembered he is washing his hair and can't meet her.

Phew… the country made a massive sigh of relief… no offence to helen but after her performance against mcnamara, this is probably a good thing
