    Thats a town the size of Portlaoise that has to be accomodated every 2 years.

    Well 4 to 18 million in a landmass the size of the USA would generally meet the definition of largely empty.

    Ya have heard of that but wouldn't really like to speculate. The family deserve their privacy imho and regardless it's a hugely traumatic event. The family have also come out against the riots too.

    Even the victims family say they don’t want this. They must be lefties.

    So the victim appears to have been tortured by Loyalists over 20 years ago. The poor man has gone through a horrific ordeal in life TBH.

    The EU has no mechanism to expel a member state. There is no supranational body that can force us to comply with any international treaty; we can act as we wish, ignoring whatever parts of any treaty we decide to.

    We don't have to live like this, seeing attempted beheadings on our streets. We shouldn't have to pick pieces of skull out of our children's hair, as we heard in the Central Criminal Court today.

    Don't hide behind legal fiction to pretend this is inevitable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,148 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    Multiple families are homeless as a direct result of rioters targeting them and they've committed no crime… You don't seem to want to acknowledge that one though



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,093 ✭✭✭✭Larbre34


    Ignoring international treaties and agreements attract financial penalties and sanctions.

    You only need look at Hungary's fortunes under Orbàn to demonstrate that you are talking absolute swill.

    Tiny population for a continent. Did they mostly live near the sea and up along the rivers lakes?

    I'm on the verge of a site ban. Please don't rage bait me, I'm easily triggered especially late at night!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭For Petes Sake


    Of course they don’t. They’re a means to an end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,381 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    The original victims family have asked for this to stop. I suppose that just makes them lefty open border loons now and the faux sympathy is completely binned.

    How dare the family not understand that immigration can be highlighted and solved by.....checks notes....by burning a bus?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,869 ✭✭✭Quitelife


    Practically all these riots are in Loyalist areas , it seems the DUP come out with a few comments to stir it up and then stay silent as young loyalists unleash their hatred .
    These loyalist areas are full of hate filled young men that have dropped out of the education system . The youths In nationalist areas are too busy going to college and working to riot .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,004 ✭✭✭Nermal


    'Absolute swill' is failing to recognise that Hungary are a net recipient, and we are a net contributor, but nevertheless: send me the bill. Tell me what I owe to ensure I and my descendants never have to hear the name of people like Hadi Alodid or Riad Bouchaker ever again.

    There is something wrong with being an economic migrant and pretending to be a genuine asylum seeker in order to circumvent the application process for economic migrants.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,148 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    So you don't mind that homes of immigrants were burnt down? I'd suspect you want to ban anyone with a foreign sounding name.

    Lbc now reporting on the fact that Loyalists have previously pretty brutally tortured the victim when he was in his twenties.

    It's not left wing dogma, you're just an actual right wing racist. Why can't you own that instead of manufacturing some weird bullshit conspiracy?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,436 ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    The closest thing there is to a cogent philosophy on the modern right is getting hysterical about completely imaginary scenarios that will never happen.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭scottser


    The Right has a very well-defined philosophy that uses fear, hatred and violence to concentrate power and wealth into the hands a few at the expense of everybody and everything else. The idea that we can all get along and share resources equally so we all prosper is a direct threat to that philosophy. The irony in all this is that those protestors are so stupid they just don't realise how they are being played by forces and people that do not give one iota of a **** about them.

    @bfa1509 illegal? Theres no illegal immigrant involved here



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,288 ✭✭✭ironingbored


    Slightly different angle in NI as these "rioters" are directed by the UDA.

    Catholic familes in the same area were intimidated and forced out only last year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭scottser


    There is a very well funded web of support for anti-EU goons worldwide. The former UDA network is taking money and orders from someone else in order that they can continue their racketeering and drug dealing unhindered.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭For Petes Sake


    But yet it's the lefties that are the 'snowflakes'

    It’s one reason why we won’t see a United Ireland any time soon- absolute scum. Why would you invite this lot to be part of your country?

    What about the victims of our immigration policy? Certainly nobody is listening to them.

    Nobody is listening to to hundreds of thousands that can't afford homes, or start families, or get a decent job with a decent wage that isn't being mercilessly suppressed by mass immigration.
    Nobody is listening to the victims of an immigration policy that sees them dying on trollies in numbers that dwarf those dying on the streets under the knives in violent migrants.
    You can be damn sure that nobody is listening to the Irish children raped and abused by foreigners from a culture that sees them as fair game, and if you think the systemic abuse that occurred in Rotherham is not occurring here, you're kidding yourself, because clearly the only thing we have learned from the experience of the Brits is how to bury such inconvenient truths.
    All of the things happening now are a result of the people simply not being listened to. If you want to lay the blame for current events at anybody's door, perhaps try blaming the government's immigration policies that are driving these events.
    As usual with rioters, from BLM to the loyalist loons, they are burning down the wrong buildings. In that regard they share the same flaw as our malignant government, a complete and utter failure to address the root cause of the problem. I suggest it would be far more productive to start with burning down parliament and proceeding from there. Then perhaps some listening will finally begin. Perhaps you yourself could start listening to people too, rather than taking a high handed, sneering, dissmissive attitude towards the victims of our immigration lunacy, but I doubt that will happen either.

    Right wing balloons here talk fantasically about "no go areas" supposedly controlled by immigrants. These places exist only in their fevered imaginations. But there are indeed no go areas on this island. They are the ones controlled by the far right.

    Places controlled by far right Loyalist scum in Belfast and Portadown and Moygashel and Ballymena etc.

    And now we see the same sort of thing emerging down here with the West Brit "paytriot" movement, the best buddies of Loyalists, doing things like the below. These are no go areas. And they're all controlled by the white, far right Loyalist-allied nthugs that receive unfailing support on these forums from the usual suspects.

    The below is DESIGNED to turn places into no go areas and has succeeded.

    I wouldn't call that a philosophy. If it is, it's the same one a tapeworm might have, taking what it didn't earn just because it is the way that it is.

    The means are the ends and there's not much that's complicated about it. Religion used to keep the populace in line but that fell apart once we all learned how to read. Now, they need global corporations to keep us entertained and distracted so that we don't ask the wrong questions. The pushing of imaginary scenarios that will never happen is a vital tool in the misinformation toolbox. For instance, we're supposed to believe that deeply hateful people who burn, kill and maim are just poor angels with genuine concerns. When they did burned a white person, nobody batted an eyelid.

    I come from a Unionist background. There is no culture, no art, no literature, no philosophy and no interest in any of these things. It's just prejudice and the medication of alcohol, Ulster fries and the 12th. They like Israel just because they see Nationalists waving Palestinian flags. It's the mentality of a spoiled brat who once had everything but now has to share.

    I found this old Reddit comment to be quite illuminating:

    Your name is William. You are a human being, and a proud Northern Irish like almost 2 million others. Beyond your control you were born into a **** family with a **** dad, who himself was born into a **** family with a **** dad. In fact you come from a long line of **** dads. Your entire genetic lineage is a joke of which you, for the time being at least, are the soggy, botched punchline - until you spurt your lukewarm seed into some unwitting girl's eggsack and the joke lumbers on.

    Your world seems to turn slower than everyone else's. You begin to wonder if the conversations your family have around the dinner table are the same as the ones your friends have. You watch your father slurp baked beans into his mouth like a 54 year old baby. You begin to wonder if you will grow up to be like him. You suppress this pain. You, James and Johnboy go up the park most nights to work diligently on your soon-to-be-chronic alcohol problem. This is both a coping mechanism, an informal coming-of-age ceremony, and a group bonding exercise - all it does is exacerbate your steadily blooming anger disorder. Your dad knows, and you know he knows. You want him to intervene. He says nothing.

    But every summer your community pulls back the curtains and lets some light in. For you, this is Christmas. You dust off your white shirt. You pick up your drum. And for a precious few glorious hours you get to stand before the world and proclaim "I matter. I am not a joke. I have a voice and I will be heard" as the fat, diabetes-ridden, flushed-red faces of your extended family look on with manic glee. They too are afraid. Together you sing the songs of your fathers. And for this all-too-brief moment, you almost manage to believe. That you are a vital cog in the machine of humanity, and that when you die you will leave a gap in the ranks that cannot be filled. Sadly for you, that's total shite.

    Let them march. It's literally all they have.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34

    So the solution is to go around burning people who have done nothing wrong out of their homes, and burning IPAS centres?

    The solution is to burn down homes who local Facebook hermits say is for foreigners, that way nobody can get them?

    No doubt you thought really long and hard about this so I'll await your response.

    Try reading my post again and show me where I said any of that. It would seem that not only can you not listen, you can't read either.
