Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 02/09/25*

Firstly I didn’t mention my own values whatsoever, so I don’t know why you’re repeatedly referencing my personal values as if I had

Regardless, what is your point exactly?

Are you attempting to deny that as a society there are broadly accepted values amongst Irish people?
Or that there might be commonalities in those values with certain other cultures/societies and larger distinctions with others?

You don’t think societal values in Ireland might be more similar to Poland or Spain for example, than they might be in Somalia or Russia or anywhere else no?

You must be joking.

The clowns we have running this country aren't capable of planning anything.

We will become the dumping ground of Europe and the government will continue to tell us everything is grand.

"Shame on you"…

Ya these kinds of pathetic shaming tactics from Progressives is wearing thin, I for one are sick of the sanctimonious types who are supporting the most far reaching policies any Government of this country has ever undertaken, given the damage that has been done to this very state. We are forcing deeply unpopular and very damaging policies on our population in a severe housing crisis, often using the Riot Police to do so…

I'm not so sure you are in a position to be shaming anyone. Especially, anyone who has chosen to ignore the results of these policies that we all see across Europe.

The poster is spot on, we are a highly dysfunctional state, with multiple crisis across all sections of our society. And we lack the collective intellectual capacity to have a discussion about it. Because, anyone who speaks up will be shamed out of it…we have seen it time and time again in recent years.

If you want to put it in perspective, we know we will see a surge in violence and crime. Only an idiot would try to argue that we won't see an increase in crime. We should be building more prison spaces. We fund an NGO whose job it is to ensure the Government doesn't build more prison spaces. In more ways than one, this Government is like a demented person you'd see hitting themselves in the head.

When virtue signalling collides with reality…

Ah no 😂 I thought they all had a better work ethic than the entitled natives 😂😂

Yes sir I just did exactly that. I know this is something everyone is terrified to speak of, but that doesn't make it any less true. London went from being 93% white 87% white British in 1971 to 54% white and 37% white British in 2021. If this trend continues, and there is nothing being done to stop it, next census will show it to be the first white minority European capital.

Does that bother you? Why? Whole areas of London became practically Irish in the 20th century, now people come from further afield and look different. London is a fantastic city, lived there for years, it's a global mega city and is never going to be white like the 70s again. Get over it.

Well that's the thing, it bothers me because we white Europeans need to get over it. We are the only ones who have to do that.

No one will stop it, especially not that little prick. And it's not about me accepting it as a done deal, it's about using it as a cautionary tale.

Yep, I miss living there all the time. The fact that most of my neighbours in Camberwell were black never bothered me.

Do you not think we need a Farage here? I would have thought a charismatic character running on an anti immigration ticket is what many Irish people would want to vote for.

No we don't need such a grifter, we just need FG/FF politicians to do what's right and what was originally intended with EU free travel principle: severely limit non EU migration.
