    Get rid of the Irish!

    In before the South Park.

    I'd say it's the Nigerians and Polish that most people are referring to though.

    The following (or combinations of them): non whites, people whose first language isn't English, people who come from non Western countries, people who come from poor countries, people whose accents are not Irish/English/American/Australian/kiwi.

    But like the Vikings and Normans before them, soon they'll become more Irish than the Irish themselves.

    No one took my job. My employer gave it to someone else because he wanted to use cheaper labour.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    My friend's dad was bitching about how our other friend has to go home to Oz as she can't get her work permit renewed... "And they're leaving in all the Eastern Europeans but kicking the likes of you out, 'tis a disgrace..." etc.

    It was lost on him that those Eastern Europeans have more of a right to be here than she does, she being non EU and all, but when she's of Irish ancestry, has Celtic looks, English is her first language and she comes from a similar culture to here, well jeez, screw all that EU stuff...

    Least she had some sort of small part of this country in her or her family and wasnt just here to make money then leave.

    What difference does that make? She's still a foreigner.

    Well fair enough then if she was but theres less chance of you seeing any australian people moving to this country sure why would they?

    Any of the other nationals who are living in Ireland are here for mostly one reason thats to earn as much as they possibly can and send it all back to another country. Now in all fairness id rather a couple of people from oz coming over and stayin for maybe year or two working puttin the money back into the country then they probley head home.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭Stephentlig


    well tbh we are a people who shop around for the best deal, if bringing money home from Poland would get me a lot more here in my country, and my children that lived here, I'd be doing the same thing.

    Its like anything else, people are out to steal and people are out in search for happiness, for a better life, and the latter are entitled to it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    Whats the point of this thread ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭problemchimp


    Why should anyone go home, did they cause the banking fukc up or destroy the health service? If they did I must have missed that.

    its a hypocritical to say this knowing that millions of irish immigrated to america and around the world during the famine to take other peoples job in other countries...hmm i remember a picture my history teacher showed me which was taken in america ages ages ago on a B&B "No Black's, No Dogs, No Irish"

    I don't see anything wrong with that - it seems sensible to me, and it's what many of our ancestors/relatives did.

    Everyone that votes who they want sent home will be added to a Racist database.

    The Government will then call on you too remove two non-nationals from their beds and escort them to the airport.

    I clicked Asians, as Africans are usually built like **** brick houses.

    Course, Asians are all Ninjas, so I'm snaffered either way.

    Who you got?

    Most the Irish who went to america more then likely stayed there for the rest of there lives and helped to add to the country. I dont see any problem with people moving somewhere else if they want to make a life for them selfs in that country. Not just to sponge the place dry until things get better at home.

    is it not the same here? quite alot are staying here and adding to the country :) and the other half went back...

    well the ones that are still on the the welfare since the start of the boom should be kicked up the arse and kicked outside the border :)

    i know some people who spent years getting social welfare payments and still dont know one word of english LOL


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now

    Most have no interest in being part of this country there here to make as much money as possible. There only here cause we opened the gates and said sure everyone come on in. If it had of been done right in first place like for example what they do in Australia then there be no problems.

    There are problems because its a bloody free for all which is typical of everything in this lovely country were from.

    Where I work (factory) foreign nationals count for 60%-70% of the workforce. I'm actually in the minority. They're been put into highly skilled positions without qualifications. There's a lot of double standards going on, as in if I made a mistake there's a big deal made of it but if one of them did something it's a different story. I have absolutely no resentment towards any of them because they are brilliant workers (a lot better than me :-)), ambitious and a sound lot. The women are absolutely gorgeous and make me blush all the time :D. No Irish people in the town wanted the jobs in the good times so they advertised in eastern Europe. So tough sh1t to them if they think they took their jubs :)

    no i think its the fact that every idiot was allowed to set up his own company and employ every single polish fella that didnt even have a clue how to build...so they said to their friends in the poland come over here and you can do a job without even needing to know how to do it lol...so every one came along! if proper regulations were set in place for hiring and setting up companies these things wouldnt have happened!
