    On sky news now. 2 people reported dead unfortunately. Both victims are women who had their throats cut . This appears to becoming a specific tactic of islamists , like in Finland .

    That's the same Marseille train station that 4 American tourists were attacked with acid earlier this month.
    At that time, French authorities said the assailant was suffering from a 'mental illness'.

    Chris Rock gonna have to change part of his act for the next few shows in Europe I'm thinking.

    He has a segment about mass shootings and how you never see mass knifings, but if you did, only two people maximum could ever be seen as victims as from the third one onward they'd deserve to die.

    Was funny in fairness but.... timing and all that.

    The French police questioned the suspect in Marseille knife killings days prior to attack. Same old story. He was an illegal immigrant too.

    Well, mass immigration has no genuine benefit and causes significant social, political and economic issues so, yes, yes we should stop all mass immigration. The first step is acknowledging that the entire world doesn't have a right to move to Europe, and that Europe doesn't have a moral duty to accept mass immigration. That doesn't exclude the possibility of sensible immigration (and asylum) policies.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    One important factor to remember is that (unlike in all previous mass migration waves),
    all this cheap new low/unskilled labour really won't be required going forward.

    The Auto-bots will soon be able to replace most low/un-skilled work.
    Unless of course 'they're all Doctors and Engineers with perfect English language skills'.

    It should have been controlled but it hasnt been, when you import those in their thousands with an alien culture to the indigenous population its never going to work out well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,487 ✭✭✭Mutant z


    Yes that is the best solution for now.

    When you look at the effects of mass immigration in the UK and France and see the huge social problems it has led to you would wonder why anyone could possibly be in favour of it, its been nothing short of a disaster.

    You have to remember that Germany has a Declining population!
    Angela Merkel wants to boost the German gene pool.
    Again, the EU is simply the Fourth Reich!!

    It's a human thing really.
    People around the world are for the most part trying to get on with their lives, they don't want to move anywhere.

    Some look to move to better their circumstances, they will use whatever works, hence the number of people claiming asylum in Ireland.
    There are more Nigerians living in Ireland than there are Spaniards, that's from the latest census.

    We don't have any economic, social or political compact with Nigeria, we're nowhere near Nigeria!

    But a combination of improvement in education and a growing middle class has led people from all sorts of places choosing to seek a betterment of their circumstances in another country other than the country of their birth.

    Problem its gone to far now,so its not political correct to put a stop to it,and if they do,they will be on the losing end with their voters and their political power.
    And power is really what its all about,in EU,the fourth reich.

    I don't disagree per se but we must also be honest about the effect that European action has had in making the logistics of this problem a lot worse. For instance Britain and France eagerly toppling Ghadaffi and thus opening a mass black hole in North Africa where desperate people are funnelled in order to grab a raft to Europe.

    Ghadaffi got his comuppance in the end. Good enough for him, having supplied the PIRA with so much explosives and arms, no wonder the whole world turned against him post 9/11. The Poor of Africa and the Middle East and Asia are coming via many routes / countries. The ships who pick up people from the people smugglers are just helping the people smugglers and encouraging more.

    I know yeah. Libya is in a fanatic position now because of it too, what with people being traded in slave markets and black people being lynched on the street. I'm in Tunis at the moment and met black Libyans who described sort of Mad Max situation going on over the border. Africa's most prosperous and developed country is now in ruins.

    But then again mary, you've always been a spoof merchant when it comes to your posts so no surprise you're at it again.

    You are in Tunis now and I'm in Tripoli lol
    Nobody denies that Libya is in an awful state now, like much of Africa / Middle East. However at least I knew that the UN imposed sanctions on Libya over the bombing of a PanAm airliner over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in December 1988. Other attacks carried out with Libyan Semtex included the Enniskillen bomb in 1987. So no great sympathy for the Libyan dictator who the Libyan people finally ousted, as he was the man who supported the IRA's campaign of violence for so long, during his 42 year dictatorship.
    Did you know the families of the 180 US victims of the Lockerbie bombing eventually received $1.3bn (£1bn) in total as part of a deal between the US and Libya. An Assembly motion in 2009 which called for compensation from Libya for IRA victims was backed by all parties, except Sinn Fein. The UK government has never secured a compensation deal from Libya for victims of IRA attacks...you would not have liked them to, did you?

    The first proven connection with Libya was discovered in 1973 when the Irish Navy boarded a ship called the Claudia, off the Irish coast. They found five tonnes of weaponry supplied by Libya. Five tonnes is quite a bit, or maybe you see more everyday in Tunis? In 1987, French authorities stopped a ship, the Eksund, which was on its way to Northern Ireland carrying around 1,000 AK-47 machine guns, more than 50 ground-to-air missiles and two tonnes of Semtex.
    It is believed that other shipments of arms reached Ireland before the Eskund was apprehended.

    True, but in being honest we have to recognise that the Libyan civil war started before Europe intervened. Government forces were advancing on Benghazi, and the inhabitants knew what their likely fate would be. Europe's leaders were always likely to react to the promise of a civilian massacre by Qaddafi secret police and torturers. The UN issued a resolution to make that intervention. If they didn't act, it would be another Rwanda, or another Syria, played out in the international media. We do need to be honest that the outcome of acting was not a stable regime replacing Qaddafis, but also be honest there was no risk free, morally clean options.

    Yep, I'm bang in the middle of the medina as it happens and am about to go out for a mint tea and probably a few beers after.

    It's wonderful how you can quote long tracts from Wikipedia telling us what we already know but any way you'd like to address the point made about Libya's current situation and the fate of black Libyans and migrants there?

    Probably because I was one at the time. And no, even recently I wasn't complaining about Libya because it was a relatively prosperous and developed country that largely provided for its citizens as opposed to the dump it has become now because of French and British intervention in order to shore up their own selfish interests.

    britain was supplying weapons and more to loyalist gangs so you don't get to have any moral outrage over libya supposibly helping the PIRA.

    most of the world had sympathy for the PIRA.
    Then why was the PIRA condemned by everyone from the US administration to Russia? After Enniskillen nobody wanted to be associated with the PIRA except the likes of the dictator Gadaffi, who was eventually toppled by his own people.

    britain was supplying weapons and more to loyalist gangs

    You are confusing Haughey and the arms trial and Blaney and Irish collusion with the IRA. If Britain supplied weapons and more to loyalist gangs, then why did Britain spend so much blood, sweat, tears and money filling its jails with loyalist terrorists as well as republican terrorists? If Britain wanted to take out extremist Republicans, they would have done it in a more efficient way than by helping the pathetic loyalist paramilitaries.

    not without huge bloodshed on the british mainland. they wouldn't have known who the supporters of a republic were. much easier for britain to collude with murder gangs to keep their hands clean. britain has a history of doing that.

    According to the Smithwicks tribunal there was.
    not without huge bloodshed on the british mainland. they wouldn't have known who the supporters of a republic were.
    Because of MI5, MI6, supergrasses, co-operation with the Gardai etc the British government knew who a lot of the Republicans were. They were not stupid. They flew Adams over to London for secret talks in an effort to stop the PIRA campaign in the early seventies. If the British government want to take out Republicans they would have done so in a more efficient way than by helping the bumbling loyalist paramilitaries. Instead the British caught and tried and jailed many loyalist paramilitaries, sometimes after gunfights and deaths.

    The US government caught some arms smugglers to the PIRA. Russia condemned the PIRA, especially after Enniskillen. Not very impressed with attacking those who were commemorating those who died in WW2 fighting facism, after all the Russians went through. Not surprising the Russians strongly condemned the PIRA then.


    i have no doubt that there wasn't any.
    It was proven in the (Irish government) Smithwicks tribunal that there was.
    That was not the British or the loyalists saying there was, that was the Irish government admitting there was, after a long and very expensive investigation / tribunal.
