Was/is the protesting at East Wall Racist?

I saw it happen in the small village I'm living in, over 100 Ukrainians arrived without any prior notice to be housed in the convent that used to belong to the nuns.

They are women and children and although we would have liked to have been told they were coming we welcomed them to the area.

Now if it was all young men who arrived it would have been a different story, the videos on various social media sites of them acting up is concerning to say the least.

The likes of FF and FG will be rubbing their hands together with Sinn Fein supporting mass immigration of unvetted males because they will get decimated at the next election. I dont think I have seen people this angry before over what is happening regarding these policies.

2 other spots in Clondalkin, one a former health centre, and another a community centre has had new arrivals the past few days and a former school also in Ballyfermot. All males.

No shrinking violets up around Louth either. Too good for this rotten government- hope it explodes

Ahh now Max, credit where it’s due, Leo is well known for sussing out which way the political winds are blowing before he makes a move, and so for him to come out with such a definitive statement when he is fully aware that the political winds aren’t in his favour, that did indicate he may well be a vertebrate after all 😂

Basically every incident is recorded as a single offence, so it’s recorded for example like this -

"In Sweden there has been this ambition explicitly to record every case of sexual violence separately, to make it visible in the statistics," she says. 

"So, for instance, when a woman comes to the police and she says my husband or my fiance raped me almost every day during the last year, the police have to record each of these events, which might be more than 300 events. In many other countries it would just be one record - one victim, one type of crime, one record."

The thing is, the number of reported rapes has been going up in Sweden - it's almost trebled in just the last seven years. In 2003, about 2,200 offences were reported by the police, compared to nearly 6,000 in 2010.

It’s really not a colossal number, because you’re giving the percentage, not the number of convictions for rape. It’s not surprising either that immigrants are over-represented in criminal statistics because they tend to come under greater scrutiny by the authorities than the natives, as it were, and immigrants also tend to be convicted at higher rates for similar offences than the natives.

It’s not semantics, it’s the difference between being found not guilty of the offence of rape in law, and being found guilty of having committed an offence of rape. I think you’ll find most people will tend to want to split hairs over the difference when the possibility of being found guilty and convicted of committing the offence of rape is concerned.

It’s a lot more significant than mere semantics when the legal definition of rape is changed and defined differently in law leading to an increase in convictions of 75%, which still represents only a 3% conviction rate for the offence of rape -

Sweden changed the legal definition of rape in 2018 to sex without consent. Unlike in many countries, prosecutors do not have to prove the use or threat of violence or coercion.

Sweden’s 2018 rape law also introduced a new offence of negligent rape for cases where courts found consent had not been established, but that the perpetrator had not intended to commit rape.

It’s of particular importance when anyone is trying to create an impression that immigrants are predisposed to commit rape with the intent of raising prejudice against immigrants and attempting to promote fearmongering of immigrants in any community, which is where the whole “unvetted males” and “women’s safety” stuff comes from, as though anyone is under any greater threat from immigrants than they are from anyone who isn’t an immigrant or a man, or whatever else. Available statistics just don’t support their assertions.

That’s not just semantics.

Surely the shinners have every incentive to have droves pouring in to i) exacerbate the housing crisis; ii) wreak havoc with social services; and ii) hammer down the wages of working class. Who'd vote for them if these were non-issues? And for this party renowned for taking a "long view", these "refugees" are also their prospective voters.

I put it to the Shinners when they last came calling for a vote in the general election campaign that the first plantation of Ireland didn't work out to well for the natives. They shuffled off into the night without offering a response. Same of course with FF/FG and SDs. Interestingly the only ones who engaged in any kind of debate on the dubious joys of rapid mass immigration (circa 100k for this year alone via so called international protection) into such a tiny country were the Extinction Rebellion lads.

Make that 2025 rather than 2040.
