    Apart from the dozens of people spreading it... is there any actual evidence of it being paedo?? I find it worrying in the extreme when we simply say "if enough people repeat it, its enough for me to believe it and repeat it".... its getting kinda Brass Eye territory.

    I wonder what Facebook will do about either group....


    DeV.

    Off topic, I know, but your avatar looks creepily like Hitler...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Use the Report Group button on the facebook page.

    I did this last week but have yet to be informed of anything being resolved (they say they will notify you when they've dealt with it).

    It's incitement to hatred whatever way you look at it and definitely should be removed.

    Also, the peopel on that Stormfront page are despicable. Unenducated racists..... People like that are why there's so much conflict in the world. :(

    Do you think it is ok for them to be engaging in organised begging like they are around Ireland (or europe for that matter)? Should be people like them for that?

    Any hate they receive is brought upon by themselves. I just pity their kids who will be brought up to behave like them.

    I never said people should like them. I just don't agree with a web page that encourages hatred of them.

    I pity Irish kids who will be brought up to hate them without reason.

    I agree, let the kids realise they are scum when they become adults by themselves.

    This is not so surprising. It happens on most social internet sites, when they make webpages dedicating to hating. Hell I believe there is a website dedicated to hating the Irish, people insult us everyday. Not to mention Stormfront.

    I'm disappointed in you Biggins; I wouldn't have taken you for an internet ingenue.

    ...disgusting, dispiriting, and alarming. I know racism always bubbles beneath the surface on this mighty little rock of ours, but I must confess I'm pretty shocked about the number of people who have openly joined this group called "I hate Romanian Gypsies" (sic). Even worse are the comments, which range from the self-deluded ("I'm not racist but...") to the downright vile (references to gas-chambers etc.).

    <snip>


    You know what that group needs, publicity.

    We dont get to cut the travellers off and claim they are not Irish though, do we?

    Are they not Roma Gypsies? Anyway, I don't have time for them. When I am in work they are loud, rude and demanding.

    Even the best of us make mistakes ;) Nothing wrong with being aware either though.

    I can see your point - sometimes when people are being silly, the best thing to do is just ignore them rather than bother giving them much heed.

    On the other hand, I think that racism in Ireland too often passes by unremarked upon. I'm coming round to the opinion that purveyors of racist remarks, casual or "harmless" or otherwise, should be made to feel uncomfortable, whether it's the the person serving us in a shop or drunken mate engaging in banter.

    So I say publicise the fúck out of racists - and let them see the reaction - so that they're not under any illusion that they enjoy the silent support of the majority of their compatriots.

    A responsible parent would have nothing to fear as they wouldn't post photos of their children on the web, or if not at least take the necessary precautions and use the security settings to limit who can see them. Even then wouldn't those people be getting their jollies over pictures of children fully clothed? Not much different to pictures you'd find in a newspaper or magazine tbh.

    I think its sad that there is so much vitriol directed against one group of people.

    There are 5 million or so Roma in Europe. I don't know them all so I will wait before I make sweeping generalizations about them.

    :confused:

    These people are ROMA or SINTI by race, nation, etc. They are NOT Romanian. There is a large population of them in Romania, but to my knowledge they are very much a separate race. There have been large populations of Roma people in all Eastern European countries for decades. Romania is not name after the Roma race and vice versa.

    I am not sure where Travellers stand, if they consider themselves a seperate race or nation to the Irish race.

    Use the report button on Facebook, afaik it will be deleted.
