    Same here and still not sure who he is. Two of the first three links I found were him asking for money for some reason that wasn’t immediately apparent to me.

    Actually did not know who this was until this thread was made.

    I googled his name and found a video critique of Cultural Marxism in Ireland. Hope to find it interesting, thank you for pointing out this person.

    I found a twitter account. Is this the stupid fecker the OP is on about?

    https://twitter.com/rowanwcroft?lang=en

    Is the OP just trying to shill the twitter account?
    The guy has a couple of thousand followers and keeps retweeting the likes of Gemma O'Doherty.

    He seems to be conservative and traditionalist minded. He has some great points on the lunacy of the Left and in particular One-World open borders ideology. Just watching this now, should be interesting.

    Yeah I've watched a few of his videos online. He has followed the meetings about the hotels in Roosky and Wicklow Town that are being designated as the new residences for migrants. He did some cool videos where he live streamed a walk around Roosky talking to the residents, and he broadcast a meeting in Wicklow (with the local councillors) live on youtube. He has also had some good interviews with John Waters and some other conservative voices who don't get a voice on any main stream TV or radio station.

    The only complaint I would have about him is that when he was at the meetings he became more involved than he should have been. He's a big lad, so he was a bit intimidating when he was shouting up at the stage.

    He subscribes to Q-Anon, the conspiracy that Robert Mueller is not investigating Russian interference in the election but assisting Donald Trump in removing high level paedophiles... So yeah, he in fact is also talking crap and is completely insane.

    I cannot take Rowan Croft seriously. I mean in terms of the fact that I have heard everything he has said before from figures in 2016 and while I believed it then I have now disregarded them. I hate him being a conspiracy theorist who promotes New World Order and Qanon conspiracies. He also cooperates with Gemma O'Doherty, who promotes conspiracy theories on vaccines and ethnic replacement.

    You do know that the real Kalergi wanted to implement a European federation based on conservative principles that would keep the traditional ethnic and cultural character of the continent intact. He also thought that Africa had no inherent culture and should only be maintained as a colony to provide the Europeans with access to cheap raw materials.

    He's interviewing interesting people. And he's good at it too, he lets people speak. Tubridy could learn a lot from this lad.

    He's doing proper journalist work that the cowards at the Irish Times/RTE would never dream to do. Covering the hotels being used for economic migrants, the hired goons at Rooskey.

    He's got courage. For fùcks sake, the guy walked into a group of mentally ill leftist creeps and filmed the whole thing while keeping calm.



    How many of you could do that?

    I don't get this whole "yeah but he's crazy because he believes this one odd thing/thing I don't agree with" thing that some users here have.

    A lot of things there. :D

    Who cares?

    It is possible to respect someone with differing opinions to your own lads.

    So yeah, don't agree with him on everything, but he's a sound lad and he's doing good.
