The National Party

I have no idea. However off the top of my head. There's at least one far right individual currently up on murder charges. Earlier in the thread, a local election candidate for the freedom party iirc was up on charges for arson. So just because the national party themselves hasn't directly harmed a person as of late, does not mean that their rhetoric isn't dangerous.

Let's also remember that these same groups actively spread misinformation to try to egg on things like riots. We've had @Beechwoodspark try to perpetuate a hoax about a kidnapping of a child and it wasn't even the only hoax of that kind that week.

So just because they haven't done anything violent does not mean they aren't egging it on. Earlier in the thread you got offended cause somebody Malachy Stevenson's assassination attempt was in quotes cause it wasn't actually an assassination attempt. But you won't say a word about mock gallows for politicians(Steenson justified it), the library staff that get harassed by these types etc.

Twisting and distorting words is an interesting claim from someone who has a quote in their signature that is not from Orwell.

"However, they at least shine a light on an important issue — namely, murders recently committed by immigrants in this country. That is not a non-issue, however much I disagree with how they react (such as the Dublin riots). We had the homophobic Sligo murders; we had the senseless murder of Aisling Murphy; and we had the crazed attempted murders of children on Parnell Street (all in the space of 2-3 years)."

This is while ignoring the fact they egg on violence.… In fact, you seem to want to pretend there's no growing issue of arson and violence from the far right. This includes murder fyi.

You certainly did downplay them by claiming they were only respinsible for a small percentage if the total number of assaults nationally becausecl you told us the threat was 'hysterically exaggerated' (your exact words).

Justin Barrett was actively egging on the riots. So no, I don't think your logic follows at all....

"What about...." -ery.

Plenty of time is spent discussing it. There are several threads about it.

just a quick reply to say I certainly did not “try to perpetuate a hoax”.

I mentioned Gav Pepper’s interview with 3 witnesses to an incident of attempted child abduction - Gav and the witnesses said that, (not me) and personally I do not believe it was a hoax - I find them believable.

The video is available on Gav Pepper’s Twitter feed. Make your own minds up as always, I post for open minded readers to consider and not for the usual suspects who respond with diatribes and insults.

For whatever reason 80sbaccy is angry that ppl like me are considering voting for ppl who are “unacceptable” to him/her - well I have news for you, huge amounts of ppl are rejecting the mainstream candidates and looking for alternatives !

Yes, you did try to perpetuate a hoax. There's no evidence there was a kidnapping attempt.

Gav Pepper and the witnesses say different - take it up with them not me.

Also - the suspected man was arrested by the guards.

He wasn't arrested for an attempted kidnapping. Gavin Pepper and his witnesses simply aren't trustworthy. Worth remembering as well, the very same week there was already a made up kidnapping by the far right complete with dodgy witnesses.

Noone was arrested for attempting to abduct a child, someone was arrested for public order offences (drunk).

Did anyone in the video say they witnessed an attempted child abduction and reported it to the Gardai?

If pepper posted a video of himself talking to 3 "witnesses" who saw a UFO land in the park and it's occupants have a picnic without any evidence would you just as easily believe them.

There we go again. Changing the subject to deflect.
