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

The racist mob are out tonight, maybe not as severe as last night, but they are still out. Maybe you can explain why someone would use a despicable attack 2 nights ago to carry out racist attacks on innocent people? the floor is all yours

Anything going on in Scotland or is it calmer there?

Much calmer although we are entering the 'marching season' so will probably kick off again soon

He was given permission to remain in the UK and you are treated like anyone else in the UK unless his asylum decision had an endorsement for no public funds.

Ah yes, the civilizations of southwest Asia were all lovely and peaceful sitting around holding hands singing songs until the big bad yank and the big bad roskie rocked up and turned it all to crap.

World power and domination have been around since the dawn of time and will always continue to be.

Small nations like Ireland and most EU nations have a choice in who we ally with:

Our choices are:

• American influence with some decent amounts of democracy and a fair dollop of freedom for citizens, protected with strong military might and relative economic prosperity.
• Russian influence with little democracy, curtailed freedoms and near poverty for the majority.
• China influence with strict state controls limited freedoms and near poverty for the majority along with rapid environmental damage.
• Islamic influence with strict state controls, limited freedoms, anti LGBT and near poverty for the majority.

Be careful what you wish for, be grateful for what you have, and strive to protect it.

There was very little made of it here also tbf

A number of people I spoke to yesterday and today either weren’t aware it was a beheading or hadn’t heard about it at all

There was a time not long ago that such a case would’ve rocked the entire country. Not anymore - some cursory articles and then let’s all forget about it.

And to think it’s now been eclipsed by another beheading case (or sorry, “stabbing”) only a couple of weeks later? Honestly beggars belief

But no let’s not talk about any of it or what’s going on - the Loyalists are acting like troglodytes in what is a massive shocker, much more pertinent topic

He was stabbed in both eyes and had his face mutilated. His aggressor was mounted on top of him and was cutting/sawing at his neck with a kitchen knife when he was pulled off him. His head was not actually removed from his body (obviously as he is not dead).

So it was a beheading attempt as opposed to an actual beheading.

Edit. Well that's the Belfast one which I assume is what you are referring to.

Sorry, yeah I only realised that when I saw you mentioned Clifden.

Well I mean a lot of the present day nonsense in the Middle East comes from the illegal Iraq war so not exactly ancestors. It lead to the birth of IS in result of the power vacuum left behind after saddam which committed countless atrocities across the Middle East and terrorist attacks across Europe. It lead to the Arab spring which lead to the powder keg going off in Syria which lead to a refugee crisis across Europe.

Regarding Africa western intervention in Libya lead to immigration to sky rocket from Africa. Under Gaddafi, bilateral agreements and strict border policing heavily restricted undocumented migration from sub-Saharan Africa to the Mediterranean coast. Following his removal, militias and smuggling syndicates took control of routes. The collapse of the regime caused a massive spike in departures via the Central Mediterranean route. Italy saw irregular border crossings skyrocket from approximately 28,500 in 2011 to roughly 163,000 in 2016, with the majority of migrants departing from Libyan shores.

Now I think there’s way too much immigration and too many piss takers chancing their arm. I’m obviously not exclusively blaming US/UK foreign interventions for the immigration crisis but their actions over this past 25 years haven’t helped. They should stop meddling and initiating crises but such is their nature.
