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

One thing posters on here need to bear in mind is not every situation evolves from malevolent intent.We all knew we had a direct provision centre somewhere up by the airport but it didnt really impact our lives so we left it to Government to sort as best they deemed necessary.

The Government unfortunately had as much interest in resolving this issue as the the rest of us so it was long fingered.

So post Covid when immigration really kicked off the powers that be were in a low energy mode when it came to immigration so anomalies escalated ,no deportations,folks from 2nd countries.safe countries etc.sure it will be alright on the night attitude.

Allied to this low energy/nothing works mentality was a an upsurge in the Woke agenda.

"Ireland welcomes all "and "the people of East Wall/Sandwich St etc don't represent us" cry went out ,and was generally unchallenged.

In work ,in sport ,in life ,when things go wrong ,I find most folk like to look for a culprit rather than a reason.

My view is ,the people of Newtown Mount Kennedy,Coolock,East Wall et al are good people with a few nut cases attached.

I genuinely believe that the Government are not involved in any Great replacement conspiracy and their bona fides were well meaning all along albeit they failed to spot when their good intentions were being taking advantage of.

but,

they now know we are being taking advantage of ,we cannot sustain the level of support being offered and we need to say sorry but our focus is now on the people of our country and we have done more than enough for Ukraine and elsewhere but for the social cohesion of this country we are closed for now.

And God forbid, when we do start seeing crime rates rise as has happened in many EU countries and the increase in sexual assaults or worse, best believe, it won't be a migrant issue, it will be a man issue. Do better, men!

Spot on, I watched the recent ITV documentary from Cardiff/Nottingham regarding this. See: https://www.itv.com/news/2024-07-17/approached-by-20-men-in-two-hours-the-reality-of-being-a-woman-alone-at-night

One thing that struck me was when the documentary finally turned to presenting it's findings to the newly elected Labour Party representative her knee-jerk response to it was that "we need to educate men".

This despite the fact that 19 out of the 20 men were not of a White-British background. Even the lone-White British bloke was 'concerned' for her safety while being excessively drunk-pushy.

Sums alot up really. Video relating to the article here: https://x.com/itvnews/status/1813887551523951008

Biggest crowd all week turned up tonight. Five days in.

Bigly as DJT would say.

But keep on doubling down on reality.

Rubber always hits the road, eventually.

ff and fg will walk back into government at next election.all the bitchin in the world on here ain’t going to change this madness of a policy.sad times ahead

D4 = concern citizens

Working class area = far right

Thought the govt said nobody has a right to veto who lives in their neighbourhood

That appears to fears about fire not migrants. Fears of fire are valid with the neanderthals roaming about.

I don't know. I thought there were some emotive posters here with all the solutions and strong rhetoric. I am all ears.

lol, the next door Jeremy the barrister is not likely to hop the wall now is he? the pen is mightier than the sword and all that , pip pip

Ah are you one of the adorbs who thinks its actually locals "protesting". How cute.

Just for **** and giggles I'd love to see the reaction of a handful of regulars on this thread to half a dozen or so singles males from Afghanistan and Syria moving into a vacant house next door to them 🤣

Correct. The loud mouth loons only scare people back to the status quo.

Whether that's true or not about 75% of the country as proven by polls don't want more of this so they want nothing to do with the 500 men supposed to go in either. Not sure what the end game here is. The vast majority of Irish don't want to go out protesting where they're right or left leaning. The fact thousands marched last night say's it all really.

there were protests, they didn't achieve anything, so the IPAS went in and life goes on as normal. as usual it's local scumbags causing the issues around here as my boards neighbours in the area will attest to, i would imagine it would be the same in coolock. for some reason the concerned residents only care about crime enough to go out and protest if there are foreigners involved.

Look up the polls done regarding this topic. About 75-80% of the population are against this.
