What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

Higher priority of white people IS racism 😑

In the UK some fat woman called the police for being called fat, the police acted on it - even though it strictly speaking doesn't fit the definition.

These authoritarians don't care.

Please tell me that’s more of your dry wit, that you don’t actually think the mark of a civilised society is their eating utensils? 😳

The native people of Ireland must come first in their own native land. This isn’t racism. This is common sense and the norm in every country outside of the west.

Ireland is the homeland of the native Irish people. What is the point of the Irish state, if not that?

It’s not that there was no argument, you got the argument already in response to your question you posed to Wibbs about what systemic prejudice has led to the formation of mostly black postcode gangs. I gave you an answer, with the meaning of systemic prejudice being that it is a national issue of policy failures, and you come back with as much as “but Balbriggan was once nice so you’re talking nonsense”…

I’m not -

When gardaí arrived at the scene, the badly injured 19-year-old was the only person present after a gang of youths had “dispersed from the area”.

It is understood that he is refusing to cooperate with the investigation.

A senior source said problems with gangs of male teenagers “who largely, but not exclusively” come from an ethnic minority has “seriously increased” since the Covid-19 pandemic began in March.

“It is important to point out that these eircode gangs are not just a serious problem in Balbriggan – there are big issues with them in other locations as well and not just in the wider Dublin area.

“There is a crew in Drogheda called the ‘A92 gang’ after the Louth town’s eircode and there is the ‘Dublin 15 gang’ operating in the Tyrrelstown/Blanchardstown area and there are similar gangs in Tallaght and even as far away as Cork city.

“Not everyone associated with these gangs is a criminal but there is no doubt that some members have been involved in assaults and serious public order breaches which have got worse throughout the summer months and it is a big cause for concern for gardaí,” the senior source said.

Gardaí say that a particular modus operandi for the teenage gangs is to record rap songs which are posted on social media to goad rival gangs.

“Within the lyrics of these raps, stuff is mentioned to antagonise the opposing factions – it might be about how they beat a fella up, or how they robbed an opposing person’s bike or runners,” the senior source explained.

As part of their investigations into the teenage gangs, gardaí have been closely monitoring social media and community gardaí have been liaising with church pastors and other community leaders in the effected communities.

You think it’s limited to Balbriggan, or even Dublin for that matter? That’d be nonsense. It’s only a symptom of the underlying failure to address social issues decades ago. It certainly didn’t happen out of the blue and then only when black immigrants moved into the neighbourhood!

They’re not new either btw, it’s a phenomenon seen in many countries, but we’d probably be most familiar with the UK -

All the pride over essentially nothing certainly wasn’t worth numerous preventable deaths. Just as nationalists have no control over what country they’re born into, the misguided young men who were so eager to join up with the postcode gangs definitely didn’t choose the area the council moved their parents into.

And drugs, lots and lots of drugs -

He welcomes some of the measures Rudd announced this week and cautions against attempting to simply apply the Scottish model to London, where the nature of criminal organisations is very different.

“In London, the drug market is very sophisticated. Scotland didn’t have what they call the county lines, young people being put on trains with loads of drugs and moved around to various cities,” he says.

“Drug dealers have to be really thankful for a society that has been created where you have so many disaffected youth who have no ambition and can see nothing beyond getting into criminality. They’ve got a steady workforce at their fingertips.”

Now that I’m even reminded of it, your attitude is similar to that of my mother, and I’m talking over 20 years ago -

“Sure there’s no drugs in Portlaoise”

My mother isn’t a stupid woman, but she was perfectly willing to turn a blind eye when it suited her 😂

Congratulations yourself, you’ve figured out it’s becuz dey iz bleck 😂

It’s not though, it’s because of the generational failures of successive Governments social policies to address the underlying issues as opposed to pointing fingers at each other for who’s going to clean up the mess.

Personally I couldn’t give a fcuk if anyone’s from Kingston or Kinsale - their inspiration, or lack thereof, is as a direct consequence of the failures of Government, not multiculturalism!

And in the same way my mother turned a blind eye, who do you imagine the non-natives picked it up from?

It would be if that’s what I’d said. I didn’t say that though, and as for where the rest of the criminal gangs are - well, it’s not called the criminal underworld for nothing 😂

I’ve a cousin living there since she got married in ‘08…

‘gone tomorrow’ was what she said when we talked last week…Growing up in her 20’s she lived in Brixton which has a reasonably high perch on the table for violent crime, actually ALL crime in London and always had despite a recent slight gentrification….but she’d go back there as opposed to living in Balbriggan for much longer.

she’s from Portmarnock always craves getting back to be near her family there and in Malahide but prices there have skyrocketed.

There are Eastern European gangs here and in UK alright, but their members came over as such. Eastern European kids born here or in UK don't join these gangs.

They have families back home. What they (we) don't have is a gang culture, it doesn't work that way in Eastern Europe. We don't have intergenerational gangs and gang members, we don't have them in Eastern Europe, we don't have them here either.

We do have crime just as anyone but we don't have postcode wars nor bloods and crips.
