    I don't think so, though I'm loath to say more as you'll just call me a liberal or leftist.

    What do you think yourself. I may then agree with your well reasoned points.

    No.

    We need proper border control and start we need to deport all bogus asylum seekers (ie economic migrants who claim to be asylum seekers).

    The EU have no control. Member states agree and decide, and the subsiduarity principle applies.

    Jesus Don, did you suffer some particularly bad experience in the last week that has made you so angry and bitter?

    Yes, we have some obvious issues, housing, health, low level trolls, but for the most part life in Ireland is better now than it was 20, 30 or more years ago.

    You must be living in a totally different Ireland or even world to me then. Either you are unaware or just going with whatever law is put before you.

    Seeing all those lads crossing over to Dover, knowing that half of them are probably making their way here as we type these messages. Frightening.

    Is this not just a rehash of a thread you already ranted on?

    https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2058103084/1

    Change the record, go outside get some fresh air, ride your bf/gf and let go of the bitterness.

    If you want discussion, let's!
    Lay out your issues and actually engage, rather than your usual rant and run.

    No I'm not happy in the direction that we're heading we've gone too far to the right so we need a big swing back to the left before we all turn into Trump supporting racists.

    Don't worry OP, you will eventually get the ban you so desperately crave.

    I'm convinced four or five of these fascist posters are actually the one person replying and bum tapping themselves over and over.

    Anyone who wants immigration controlled is fascist. Cop on, lad.

    Yes, Covid crisis aside. Keeping closer to Europe in the wake of Britain’s exit should shield us from the ill “effects” of the, inevitable, downturn in their economy.

    An overhaul of our immigration system is badly needed. Having people rotting in “centres”, for years at a time, has to end. The sooner we get them in the sooner they can meaningfully contribute to the economy.

    Yes, we need lots more workers for our meat factories. What could possibly go wrong?

    We successfully deport a small fraction of the people whose asylum application is rejected. We do not have control.

    Do you believe we should have more or less obedience or religion in Ireland?

    I am highly educated with significant experienced in a field that is in demand. I also have savings to tide me over for an extended period to wait for the right role if made redundant (again).
