    You need to get some fresh air or something. The ride even. It can't be healthy to be this worked up all of the time.

    Did you read the title of the thread?

    Even people who tend to the right are getting fed up with these threads.

    To be honest I posted while having a few beers last night but I think some of the people in this thread must be on something way stronger.

    A load of freaks started posting in the last couple of days with the view of getting the thread shut down. Not one of them will acknowledge that an African gang are causing chaos in North Dublin.

    Contentious subjects tend to go the same way. At first there's a generally measured back and forth, but as night follows day a few pages in someone will go to one extreme or t'other and then it goes south in a back and forth of extremes.

    What seems to be the real shift over the last few years is the shift to one extreme or the other and on all "sides". Either for Us™ or against Us™. The middle ground is fast losing traction for many. That's a worry.

    Not so much here in Ireland. Culturally we tend towards the middle, extremists of any hue left/right/whatever you're having yourself are the minority positions. Will a hardline "right wing" politic get votes here? Could well do, but I strongly suspect it'll be like your People Before Profit types, a couple of candidates out of the mainstream wheeled onto stages and the telly to make up numbers or act as clickbait. The Centre will hold. I mean let's face it to a visiting alien the only difference between rotating over decades governments of FF and FG are one letter.

    I can see your point. But it's not a guarantee.....the Irish are a naturally conservative people. And nationalism has has a strong presence in this society for generations.

    Honestly, I can picture that a lot of Irish society sees the EU as a cash cow for a motorway or farm here and there....and probably envisage it as still in some timeframe where it's a Free Trade agreement.

    Given enough time, and with enough literature on how Ireland is been suckled into a federal Europe.....with no benefits to our native agriculture, then a nationalist movement will be born.

    Honestly the best thing the EU could do right now is interfere with our tax regime....the same regime that gave us our prosperity with US companies.

    Ideological daydreamers aside.........when people can no longer put food on the table, that is when movements gain momentum.

    One bad move from Brussels that affects FDA and agriculture.......not to mention the question of displacement in the places their grandfathers once stood thanks to unlimited immigration.....


    Then we have something on our hands.

    Nobody thought Brexit or Trump possible........it would have been laughed at only in 2015.......so an Irish backlash against the EU shouldn't be ruled out.... particularly as it becomes more obvious how Brussels policies are effecting Irish people.

    I think the problem with threads like this is that there is a genuine discussion to be had about the affects of immigration on our society. In this instance, regarding African gangs attacking and threatening people in local Northside communities.

    But the usual leftists Invade the thread and start trying to thwart it. They've tried their best to try and thwart this thread in recent pages

    They are ideological fanatics with utter contempt for anybody who doesn't share their views and will do their best to run amok in threads and destroy the chance for a mature and open discussion about current Irish society.

    Maybe, but there are a lot of ifs going on there. Are there issues with the EU, hell yes, I'm no EU can do no wrong type, but overall the EU has been a major positive for Ireland. Not the only one but a big one. Brexit is a serious concern for us mind you.

    The issues around immigration won't be the same for Ireland as other European nations. Geography for a start makes a difference. Never mind that the numbers of those here and coming here have dropped when compared to the early noughties. The lack of an obvious colonial past another factor. France and Britain had vast empires and those imperial chickens came home to roost as said empires contracted to nothing. Our low population density another factor. Our lack of any coherent indigenous extremist viewpoint whether right or left another factor. Even though too many and certainly on the interwebs seem to think we're American and have imported their jargon and views of right and left.

    Indeed D, but the leftists could aim the same accusation at the rightists and both would have good reason to do so. That was my point about going too extreme in either direction DS, it almost guarantees putting on the blinkers and the digging in of heels.

    or maybe 'African Youths Viciously Attacking'

    Some wonderful websites using your picture there.

    Let's try and get past the distraction-tactics shall we?

    Any of the advocates or who don't think there's any issue here, want to try answering the questions I asked last night?
    _Kaiser_ wrote: »
    What's "spineless" is the continual deflection, name-calling and outright ignoring of the questions put to you and others of your mindset on this issue.

    - What are the benefits to Ireland of allowing waves of unskilled, destitute economic migrants from the 3rd world to enter our country?

    - Where do you propose to house them and address those gaps?

    - Who do you expect to pay for it and how?

    - How do you propose to address cultural, religious and behavioural issues that may arise by virue of them now being in a modern, secular liberal and socially free country

    - Why do you think that the negative experiences of other countries that are trying to address this issue won't be replicated here? What do you think we are/should be doing differently?

    This is an open series of questions to you, Dav or any other advocate for this migration on this thread. If you want your argument to be taken seriously, drop the petty name-calling and nonsense and engage constructively.

    Otherwise, continue as you are and the rest of us will continue to write you off as having no argument at all (and to everyone else: the best way to frustrate their "point" in that case is to simply not engage with them at all)

    I mean, if all that some on both sides want to do is call each other names then can they take it to PM maybe and let the rest of us discuss the issues?

    Perhaps I've missed something but has anyone posted anything excusing the behaviour of anti-social behaviour?

    The main point that is made is that anti-social behaviour exists and is carried out by predominently young males, it existed long before any significant migration into this country. Anti-social behaviour is a product of a multitude of factors - predominantly social class.

    The fact that there is anti-social behaviour involving migrants specifically 'Black' migrants is being used to beat the anti migrant drum - most of those posting really don't care about the behavior, it's simply about the perpetrators and in particular the colour of their skin. That is the ONLY conclusion than can be drawn from many of the posts on this thread.

    The thing that boils my p1ss is that if you as much as question anything or point out something you're labelled a xenophobe or a racist by some loons. I have never said anything bad about black people in general on here and yet I'm told my mask is slipping. Some of the left is the same as the far right, intolerant as fcuk. You say anything that even marginally disagrees with them then you're -phobic or -ist.

    You've changed tack on this. The thread is about gangs from Balbriggan being at it again. The gang in question is a black African gang. So some people are annoyed that a higher proportion of immigrants in the form of black africans have been parachuted into Balbriggan and now the town is turning into a kip because of it. So come on down to Balbriggan and experience it for yourself then you'll know how we feel.

    That'll never happen mate because the entire foundation of the argument for 3rd world immigration seems to be "it's the morally right thing to do and sure it'll be grand" (anyone disagreeing is welcome to take a look at the reasonable questions I've reposted above)

    It's a theoretical model based on virtue signalling to other like-minded individuals and ideology. There seems to be no actual concrete plans or contingencies behind it.

    Thus when confronted with "unpalatable realities" such as the subject of this thread, they resort to the predictable tactics of name-calling, deflection, straw-manning, and just ignoring the reality. It's either that or question not only their own position (which often is just about being on the perceived "right" side of the question), but who they actually are and what they actually DO believe in.

    Far easier to just stick the fingers in the ears, shout "racist, xenophobe, far/alt-right" and then ignore the responses entirely.

    Does anybody want to have a grown-up discussion?

    How about just enforcing the law these people are here now that is not going to change.

    The Law? I’m from NCD, Balbriggan has had 1/4 of the cops taken from it, Skerries is open 2 hours a day, Rush station was closed down and Lusk is open for about 2 hours twice a week.

    I haven't changed tack on anything - I'm entirely consistent.

    Ostensibly, it's about a bit more than that as I illustarted in my previous post.
    So some people are annoyed that a higher proportion of immigrants in the form of black africans have been parachuted into Balbriggan and now the town is turning into a kip because of it.

    Indeed Balbriggan and particulalry the parts of Balbriggan built in the mid 00s have a higher migrant population including those from African countries, Middle Eastern countries and Eastern Europe - that was a result of available accomodation, particularly cheap accomodation and a large availbility of rental accomodation.

    One can understand why existing residents would be 'annoyed' about increased population, large scale residential development with no matching facilities however it's difficult to understand why people would be 'annoyed' about the skin colour of those people - perhaps you could explain?
    So come on down to Balbriggan and experience it for yourself then you'll know how we feel.

    As I've said I've been going to Balbriggan for decades, I aslo grew up in a part of Dublin with a significant degree of a/s behaviour .

    You are very racist _kaiser_ ......have you not perhaps considered that the problem is to quote Buddha "from within"

    Perhaps you are just an evil racist white man in need of spiritual enlightenment. Have you considered that?

    Maybe a stint of meditation on the beach in Balbriggan should sort all of this out.

    Sit down.....face that wonderful Balbriggan sea ........breath in, breath out.................

    Ask yourself while doing your self-indulgent bout of Western Mediation that no Buddhist Monk would be familiar with................. "is this what I am, is that what must be?

    "I am one with the sea....... perhaps the mind was not open........... perhaps I did not love what needed to be loved"


    After 10 minutes of breathing in and out................ you will be one at the world...... enlightenment will be achieved.....


    As you walk by the 85 year old woman with a knife up to her throat by a son of Africa demanding her handbag.....


    You will no longer take notice the criminal offence...........no, the spiritual exercise of enlightenment on the beach will have fixed your evil racist white male mind


    It no longer becomes "I saw, I actually saw with my own two eyes"


    You will in your spiritual enlightenment now see things from a different perspective.....

    "Was that really a group of immigrant children terrorising that old woman ...............who is to know if not...... dolphin"


    Maybe it was a dolphin that was holding a knife up to the lady for her handbag......


    After all.......humans all one......world is one........humans not such thing....


    .....must be dolphins


    You will then have achieved a level of spiritual enlightenment.........



    ......it was not that person....
    Because people all one .......one world ......all that is, must be.....


    .......those dolphins are a disgrace z terrorising Balbriggan like that.

    I am sure that with your morally superior values you understand that theft of services is illegal and it is against the law, and it is not the norm in civilised society. Also, your actions of drinking and shouting and banging on every window on theses trams is loutish behaviour and it is also unacceptable in a normal society. There were passengers on those trams and trains that were genuinely in fear of your thuggish behaviour.

    Ostensibly, it's about a bit more than that as I illustarted in my previous post.



    Indeed Balbriggan and particulalry the parts of Balbriggan built in the mid 00s have a higher migrant population including those from African countries, Middle Eastern countries and Eastern Europe - that was a result of available accomodation, particularly cheap accomodation and a large availbility of rental accomodation.

    One can understand why existing residents would be 'annoyed' about increased population, large scale residential development with no matching facilities however it's difficult to understand why people would be 'annoyed' about the skin colour of those people - perhaps you could explain?



    As I've said I've been going to Balbriggan for decades, I aslo grew up in a part of Dublin with a significant degree of a/s behaviour .

    There is no use commenting on this if you are not prepared to come down to Balbriggan and see for yourself. You are there at a keyboard talking about a place and a situation you don't know. As I said go to the train station in Balbriggan any week day night. You can see the gang for yourself and I guarantee you wont like it. One of the many problems that immigration has brought to the town. There are loads of facilities in the town for them. There is a boxing club, taekwondo and a gym within 100m of the station.

    You are very racist _kaiser_ ......have you not perhaps considered that the problem is to quote Buddha "from within"

    Perhaps you are just an evil racist white man in need of spiritual enlightenment. Have you considered that?

    Maybe a stint of meditation on the beach in Balbriggan should sort all of this out.

    Sit down.....face that wonderful Balbriggan sea ........breath in, breath out.................

    Ask yourself while doing your self-indulgent bout of Western Mediation that no Buddhist Monk would be familiar with................. "is this what I am, is that what must be?

    "I am one with the sea....... perhaps the mind was not open........... perhaps I did not love what needed to be loved"


    After 10 minutes of breathing in and out................ you will be one at the world...... enlightenment will be achieved.....


    As you walk by the 85 year old woman with a knife up to her throat by a son of Africa demanding her handbag.....


    You will no longer take notice the criminal offence...........no, the spiritual exercise of enlightenment on the beach will have fixed your evil racist white male mind


    It no longer becomes "I saw, I actually saw with my own two eyes"


    You will in your spiritual enlightenment now see things from a different perspective.....

    "Was that really a group of immigrant children terrorising that old woman ...............who is to know if not...... dolphin"


    Maybe it was a dolphin that was holding a knife up to the lady for her handbag......


    After all.......humans all one......world is one........humans not such thing....


    .....must be dolphins


    You will then have achieved a level of spiritual enlightenment.........



    ......it was not that person....
    Because people all one .......one world ......all that is, must be.....


    .......those dolphins are a disgrace z terrorising Balbriggan like that.

    You come down to Balbriggan train station and do some meditation. I guarantee you wont because of your African pals. All talk you don't have to put up with it yourself. If you did you would have a different out look. Talking nonsense to try and get this thread parked.

    You could have save the rest of the wandering nonsense and just posted this...it illustrates your central point - ONLY 'Africans' rob 85 year old women....

    To be fair, while I agree his example is a bit "abstract", I don't see where he says that ONLY Africans rob 85 year old women? I think that may have been something you inserted yourself.

    Ignoring the actual reality of the situation however will do nothing to solve it, nor does it help your credibility when you try to deflect from the actual points being made to try a cheap-shot "racist!" cry instead.

    Care to respond to the questions I posed earlier? That'd be a far better way of countering such "racism" and allow the actual discussion on a discussion forum to progress.

    Careful now, you're letting your mask slip again. The subject is 'Gangs from Balbriggan' which are comprised of black and white lads.

    A serious question for the lads who have been at this for years. Why do you think the majority of Irish people don't take you seriously? Why do people continue to view you as racist? We're talking at least 99% of the Irish population that view you that way. Why do you think you continue to lose support every time you open your mouths?

    “Black and white lads”? You get the odd hanger on, but they soon leave when the violence gets too much. About 1 white to every 15 black guys.

    You seem confused and you also keep throwing up points and when they are answered you make no further commnet but you move on to something else.

    Now on your confusion, at no point have I disputed that there is anti social in Balbriggan, nor have I disputed that there is an issue with some teenagers of African descent. If I was questioning any of that you might have a point about me not visiting Balbriggan tomorrow but as I'm not questioning any of that your point is simply absurd. I'm not in Paris today, does that mean I'm precluded from commenting on the protests there? I'm failry sure you don't know Margaret Cash but it didn't preclude you pulling her asunder on that particualr thread did it?

    Now perhaps you'd do me the courtestey of answering the question I posed to you in my post?

    I did indeed and I did so because that is what the poster is implying and indeed much of the content of this thread is dealing with, it's not about anti social behavious, it's not about gangs, it's not about Balbriggan - it's using and exploiting those issue to give voice to what is an inherently anti migrant agenda.

    What is it with you and others - can you not read or do you enjoy on being deliberatly disingenuous. I have just posted about the situation in Balbriggan - I am not ignoring anything. I'd appreciate too that you don't accuse me of stuff unless you're prepared to prove it - I defy you to indicate where I called anyone 'racist'?

    I have answered those questions before in debates with Wibbs....go and find them if you're that interested.
