Looking at the photos of the protesters it looks like the usual bunch of lost junkies, scumbags hanging around the inner city and those who still think its 1974.

Maybe you should volunteer to help them then. It would go some way to helping.

Lol. That could be a Glen Beck speech.

Person 1- Look at this amazing fellow, probably reformed addict, politically aware
Person 2- Eh no, he is an addict and dangerous
Person 1- Oh no, thats not the point,
Person 2 - Eh yeah, it is, he is the danger
Person 1 - The point is we should not be spending the money being spent on Gardai and Army to protect the Queen from guys like the fellow in the picture, it is wrong, it should be spent on guys like the fellow in the picture.
Person 2-

Heroic former drug addict recovers and becomes politically aware.

Embracing his nationhood he took to the streets today asserting his rights as an Irish citizen. Protesting against the gross waste of public money on the state visits of Elizabeth the second and the American president Barack Obama, Deco, 40, called for further investment to be put into drug rehabilitation and shelters, the like of which rescued him from the brink of destruction. 'It's a disgrace' he says, 'there are people in Ireland struggling just to exist, struggling with addiction, these people need help, these people need front-line services. The government is cutting back on these, we have no money they say. How come they have 30 million to spend on state visits?'
Decrying the hypocrisy of the government the proud Irishman went on to say 'I mean, who is more important? Vulnerable Irish people, the homeless, the depressed or the British Queen? Why is there no money for the vulnerable and the needy yet millions for her?'

30 million on a junkie euthanasia program would be money well spent
probably save us alot with the drop in crime

Seriously though I have no sympathy for useless heroin addicts reformed or otherwise they would be right down at the very bottom of my priorities in fact they wouldnt be a priority they can die screaming for all i care :mad:

Can't. A mod locked a thread I had started. This is the internet so cannot accuse and identify people like that. The mod was right. I was wrong to start the thread.

Is it wrong to call people protesting scum?

How much do Bord Failte spend every year promoting Ireland attracting tourists to this country? 30 million was cheap for the amount of positive exposure we received today. Positive exposure that the dirtbags you're defending and dissident republicans did their best to **** up! :mad:

Hopefully the next three days go off more smothly.

A few years ago when the country was awash with cash you'd still have something to complain about. We could play they money game all day, it goes nowhere.

That was the point? No disrespect, but I didn't get that. It's probably me, but what I got from your post was you admonishing people for judging a book by it's cover.

some of the most compassionate nations to the plight of the down trodden on this earth ( norway - sweden - cananda ect ect ) have homeless and drug addicts as we do , your telling me 30 million yo yos would have done ANYTHING to solve this issue ??? not on your life

another thread but you want to help these people , make society safer and save a ****ing fortune for the state - legalize drugs but as i said another thread

30 million is a huge amount on security - but a absolute drop in the ocean in the grand scale of things

Aldebaran · 17-05-2011 07:38PM

I'm not normally one for being proud of something like my nationality, but I came close today, we did alright, hopefully the rest of the visit goes as well as it did today.

The country is on it's knees and has spent 30 million Euro on this. It's a chance to show Europe that we are holding it together.

Everybody has a right to protest but these idiots are not patriotic. They cannot see beyond their own agenda. It's like throwing paint on Mary Harney. You loose the argument immediately. Thugs.

Does anybody on boards support these people?

I was doing both.

They were judging a book by its cover. In addition I feel that more needs to be done to help the vulnerable in society. We have no money to do so, yet we have 30 million to spend on this visit.

Leaving my republican objections aside, I feel that this money could be much better spent.

What a really crass, snide and ignorant comment.

Shown up even more by the fact that Wolfe Tone does actually volunteer for a charity.

dont insult us and yourself by pretending otherwise - i have been to many republican marches and you know as well as i do the percentage of trouble making gimps that turn up hugely outnumber the true " politically aware "

If that were true, there would be nobody more proud than I. In my experience, however, it's far more likely that our friend doesn't give a toss about any of that and just didn't want to miss his chance to throw stuff at the cops. Mind you, I'd much rather be able to look at that pic and think what you thought, rather than what I thought.

Almost all of the protesters I encountered today were violence junkies, discussing how they "got a smack at a copper", "Leamo was nicked", total scum trying to make something of themselves, they can chat about while they drink, smoke and whatever else the money they get for nothing.
