Ursula Von Der Leyen - addressing the Oireachtas yesterday. Opinions on her speech?

Uncharted2 · 02-12-2022 10:03pm #1

How has the EU benefited Ireland? In my opinion her speech was part of an act, because Irish people are seeing more and more each day who the government serve and it's not Ireland, it felt like all present were bowing down to their leader. It has become apparent now more than ever that the political establishment in Ireland have sold us out. Sold our country from beneath our feet, making it impossible to find homes. Planted every county with immigrants who don't integrate and are prioritised before Irish. Changed the country completely within 20 years. Ireland is finished. The political establishment has embraced wokism as our new national policy and its being rammed down our throats on a daily basis.

Ireland is under EU control, are the best boys in the class every time, yet other European countries are fighting back. For some reason Ireland has been marked for distinction, our culture and identity is being destroyed by design.

A tax haven for multinational companies, don't own our own fishing rights and resources. Now known as treasure Ireland to the world. Thanks European Union for destroying Ireland.

Suffice to say you'd feel that way regardless of what she said.

Personally I feel the exact opposite to you.

Thought you might say that.

Would you mind editing your post to show her name correctly?

By the way I'm pro EU too.

No surprising was expecting this.

I thought she gave a great speech. The EU has been great for Ireland. Without it we would be in an even worse state than the UK.

😋 No, just realistic and aware of the real world.

Do you not feel a great sense of pride reading her comments. Like a nice pat on the head from teacher.

So everything I've listed is something to be proud of? A government who do not serve Ireland but Brussels interests and you embrace it as progress?

Fr Tod Umptious · 02-12-2022 10:38pm

Oh Christ, another thread about housing and immigrants.

Maybe you should. The current political establishment are worse than Cromwell ever was. Are you ok with treason from within?

We should walk away etc etc

Sunlit uplands etc etc

Yes, I agree it should be Ursula Von der Lying, would be more appropriate.

...Ghost... · 02-12-2022 11:46pm

Ireland has surely benefitted from EU membership. Yes, there are negative aspects to it, but on balance I think we are better off in the EU even though I despise the wokeness it brings with it, including Ms Gender Quota herself.

The gobshytes ruling Ireland missed a golden opportunity with Brexit.

We should have assisted the UK with Brexit and carved out a deal which would have made the whole process alot simpler and have kept the peace progress in NI going.

We should have agreed to a customs border between the continent and these islands. This would continue the free trade between Ireland and the UK and at the same time we could continue free trade with the continent. NI would agree to this. We'd have an all-Island of Ireland trading both freely with the UK and the continent.

We'd still be full members of the EU, but goods and services would be subject to checks, as we'd have an open trade border with the UK.

This would be quite simple to manage as everything goes by air or by sea to the continent.

A win-win.

Opportunity missed, but Varadkar and Martin wanted to be useful tools to stick it to the UK from an EU perspective and use the NI border as a bargaining chip.
