    had a friend call over at the weekend who told me 'they are after cancelling Gannon Noone'

    I had to look up who he was, and was the annoying fellow who kept showing up on tiktok despite me never liking anything what so ever he has done. Had to block him. He must be paying for views. How sad. I asked my friend who 'they' were, and had he not just 'cancelled' himself by deleting his social media ?

    You said they are being run by the far left. Far left is by definition, communism.

    Considering the likes of Solidarity and PBP can't get along with each other for 5 minutes without imploding, your prognosis on an organised left wing running all of these state funded companies is genuinely interesting.

    cop on you knew well enough what you were at. Of course he won’t come out stating the reasons why- all you’re doing there is giving the clowns more reason to keep going they know they’re winning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,284 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    Yes, it was his claim that Ireland's cities and towns are "much less safe" because of immigration that landed him in hot water. If he had left that one sentence out of the video, he probably could have avoided most of the controversy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,374 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    Which clowns exactly?

    If Garron doesn't actually say why he shut down his accounts, all it does is leave people to speculate, which is clearly happening.

    Back to Garron. I feel bad for him, he was trying to make a point that there is an issue with immigration here

    Garron wasn't saying that but he also made an absolute balls of making his point.

    I don't understand why anyone would feel bad for him. Again he is 30 not 13.

    This wasn't a live interview or a live stream it was a pre recorded video.

    The vast majority of immigrants, are either returning Irish, from the UK, The EU or people that are actively recruited by companies here through our work visa programmes to fill much needed roles that we can't fill ourselves.

    We have 80k Ukrainian's who are de facto refugees. 23k of them working and 30k in some sort of education. By every single metric it is a phenomenal success of management and integration of an exceptional issue.

    So what exact issue was he trying to highlight?

    Also he said.

    “Along with this, Ireland continues to become one of the richest countries in the world, while most people’s quality of life is going down.”

    What time period is he comparing that against and what metric is he using?

    He lived through when the country literally collapsed economically.

    Oh come on. There was no hostility in my question, which you didn't even answer. Why the defensiveness? I genuinely don't get the way NGOs are such a bogeyman. Maybe certain ones should be, but NGOs across the board are demonised.

    I'm mint.

    Worryingly, some of the "NGO bad" crowd would happily follow through on dismantling current school curriculum because they are defined as an "NGO" and something something "woke trans education kidnapping our kids" or some other equally easy to disprove bullshit they picked up on FB, Telegram, Twitter (or whatever algo driven platform they've allowed feed them without question).

    As a gay person I can tell you there is no greater waste of money that than given to LGBT NGO's. I hear there are 18 of them in Ireland when we don't need any at all. They do nothing good whatsoever, there is nothing to do. I'm glad they weren't around when I was growing up. They are basically a scam, that is what they are.

    You're now trying to prove that NGOs are charities, but then previously lambased NGOs as being a waste of taxpayer's money.

    So what is it? Are NGOs (including 'charities') a waste of tax payers money?

    Or can you admit that rather than using the blanket term 'NGOs' like the rest of the looney right, you should in fact be talking about specific organisations you have a problem with?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    Specifics aren't good for a right wingers target though. They find the scattergun approach much more user friendly.

    Have you heard the term “pulling up the ladder”? You’re safe and welcome now, but what about the trans and gender questioning kids growing up now?

    I have never been the victim of homophobia in my life. What the NGO's do is overblown homophobia a million percent to justify their existence. They are scammers.

    Regarding the later part of you post, I detect you haven't the first clue what you are talking about because you are using the terminology of the LGBT NGO. I don't discuss that topic with novices or the easily brainwashed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,374 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    As a woman I have never been the victim of domestic abuse. Or rape.

    Those refuges for victims, or the RCC and all those various NGOs and charities for rape victims or domestic abuse survivors must be scammers.

    No, I'm pointing out that what you said wasn't accurate, that's all.

    The problem with NGO's is that there are far too many of them, and yes we know NGO is a broad church but there's a a absolute miriad of these organisations, many of which overlap with each other. Some make perfect sense while others make none.

    That's the sign of a sector that's out of control and needs greater oversight.

    Are you calling me a right winger?

    Typical lefty nonsense (you openly describe yourself in such terms), anyone who's not in complete agreement with all of your insane beliefs must be right-wing.

    Glazers Out!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    Do you recognise how lucky you are?

    I would best be described as an LGBT ally. I have many friends who would be LGBT, and they have all told me horror stories of the bullying they endured growing up, some have been spat on in public. I've seen them being called "f*ggot" by little scrotes in the streets.

    There's one lad who hung himself from a tree in our estate because someone was going to "out" him. He was only 18/19 iirc.

    Honestly, for a gay person to never have been the victim of homophobia in their lives must be as rare as the woman who's never been sexually assaulted/ been the victim of unwanted advances.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,686 ✭✭✭AllForIt




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,686 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    I am telling you that it is not rare at all, it is the norm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    I don't believe you.

    Why? Life experience.

    You are one of the lucky ones. Next time you're out with gay friends, ask them, have they ever been the target of homophobia? Have they ever been called names, spat on, hit or otherwise been treated differently because of their sexuality.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,686 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    Eye roll. Ask them! Do you seriously think if anything like that happened my friends wouldn't just tell me.

    None of my gay male friends has ever once told me they were the victim of homophobia, either from their family, in their workplace, or some random attack.

    You know what the worst think about these LGBT NGO's is, they are scaremongering gay youth. They should not be let anywhere near schools.

    About the level of insight I'd expect from you tbf.

    I've stated on multiple occasions I'm not right wing on this site, to you personally on more than one of those occasions.

    Yet you persist with your pathetic labelling.

    Glazers Out!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,406 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    This thread is exactly why he shouldn't have opened his mouth!

    I'd imagine he was happy as Larry just making little funnies on TikTok about Hang Sangwiches and whether or not Hunky Dorys are better than King. And so was everyone else. He's an amusing fella and people found him a great bit of light craic.

    Now he's the subject of a 440+ post thread on Boards.ie about immigrants, NGOs and who the f*ck else knows what!

    If he wanted to engage in the online discourse about the current state of affairs then he is free to do so. It brings with it those who will agree with him, those who will not and all of the opinions wherein. It also will bring with it those who wish to label him a xenophobe and those who will try to paint him as a martyr in their own cause. He's a big boy, he knows all of this.

    He couldn't handle the heat so he closed his accounts.

    His career as a light-hearted banter provider is now dead and it's his own fault! As a great philosopher once said: Chat Sh*t, Get Banged!

    what an arrogant post. I’m neither a novice or easily brainwashed.

    I have been subjected to homophobia many times in my youth, despite the fact I’m not actually gay. So I find it unbelievable that you have been subjected to it.

    I doubt it. They're a haven but not for communists . A haven for business people on extravagant wages. . Hardly commies



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    You persist with pathetic, personal attacks to left aligned users. Strangely, I never see you attack the rightwingers.

    I do not care what you say, nor do I believe you.

    Everything we need to know about where you lie on the political spectrum is to be found in your many, many posts, most often directed against anyone who is anti right wing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,374 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    So am I. Still don't have an issue with organisations designed to help those who need it just because I never did!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,673 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    Most of what NGOs do is to run universities, colleges, schools, elder care services, disability services.
    Did you miss that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,418 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    So the "far left" NGO's that have been highlighted to be wasting billions is a charity that responds to sexual violence against women and children and ones that advocate for gay and minority rights?

    It's like an episode of Black Mirror where a select minority are actually posting from the 80s wondering why no one is taking their views seriously.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,284 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    This dislike of NGOs is very much Trump / Musk led - "Radical left Marxists squandering taxpayers money" etc.

    You call me arrogant yet you accuse me of lying that I've never been the victim of homophobia when what I said is completely true.

    The funny thing about you thinking I couldn't possibly have avoided homophobic abuse in my youth is you think I would have been detectable, and that's quite a homophobic thing to think. I know this might come as a shock to you Brian but you know those gay personalities you see on TV? Well that's all an act. Noone is born with a personalty type that goes with being gay. Duh.

    You used the phrase 'questioning their gender'. This is bog standard left wing gender ideology terminology you read on the internet. You have fallen for it hook line and sinker therefore I deem you don't have a clue what your talking about and are brainwashed.
