Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings and threadbans - updated 11/5/24*

I'd say they will eat by putting food into their mouths, chewing it then swallowing it. I think it's the same process around the world?

Let's be honest here, the rioters wouldn't know a government TD or its policy from the slice of cheese. They are idiots who want a bit of excitement for the night.

They would jump on any bandwagon if it meant they were able to throw a few shapes at some Gardai.

What about using water cannon teargas on them?

Would you reply like that in person or just from behind the keyboard.

Can you give a serious reply instead of deflecting.

the green minister in charge of social destruction i.e. o Gorman and o Brian of the NGO’s are intent on doing as much damage as possible before their elimination at the general election.have only caught up on what’s been going on today and it seems the guards are going to batter the locals into submission.

People can bitch on here all they want but it looks like the country is going to vote back in ff and fg .reap what ye sow

There is no plan. TDs are keeping the NGO onside so when they lose their seat they will inevitably end up in a cushy 100k+ salary job

The truth is that I support 0 tolerance agai illegal immigration and also 0 tolerance against scumbags and law breakers.

How's that for the truth.

What you said is utter nonsense which you actually know yourself yet you now feel the need to defend your statement.

FFG will lose ground in the next GE. They lost seats locally which they're far more likely to get votes from people who wouldn't vote for them in a GE. They needed the greens for a coalition last time around. I'm not sure they'll be able to form a government especially if a left wing alliance is formed. The greens would have no problem jumping ship.

I don’t disagree with anything you say there.

I don’t think there is a viable alternative at the moment.
There is definitely votes up for grabs if a party came out and said they were putting significant brakes on immigration with strict entry criteria and enforcement.

If that's the worst that comes of a situation this evening, then once again it's a credit to our police force imo. How often do you see Spanish police, french etc batoning people or firing rubber bullets fairly indiscriminately, without even arresting anyone.

Imo, the guards used force to effect an arrest here. So there's an allegation of some sort for which he was arrested (and is presumed innocent of, of course)

I agree with you, we don't know what the man did beforehand, where he was coming from, or what weapons he might have had on him, or could have. If it takes a few slaps to get him to comply, I'm for it.

I think the fact we don't see it very often in this country means, when we do see it, it's quite shocking.

So if Hermann Kelly isn't going to be putting up videos of lads throwing petrol bombs at Garda cars, but can find the time to put up Gardai arresting someone, good luck to him.

I'm the first to acknowledge btw that that is more than we'd usually see. But without knowing what the man did, what they perceived he may have had on him, or whether or not he told them to f off and took a few moments to get his hands behind his back after what he did, I won't criticise the guards in that video.

Also, I've seen countless clips of Gardai facilitating peaceful protest, and women and children standing about.

I think situations like this, is when police should police. And there's an awful balance to be had there. This has been going on for 12 hours or more at this stage. In other countries there'd have been a baton charge on anyone standing in the way after an hour or two -I've seen bars at 9pm cleared by Spanish police and women on the head cracked, marching through the place indiscriminately, never mind talking about a riot with state assets burned. (I don't support that police approach either btw)

Why would you put one of these centres in coolock, an absolute powder keg as is.

Are you actually advocating reprisals against wrongdoers?Do you know irish history ?do you not realise that the policy of reprisals by the British during the WOI was the biggest recruiting tool to the independence movement,do you want to make martyrs of the rioters,think before you post nonsense here.

You keep going on about disadvantaged areas

The Malahide Road is not disadvantaged . There are some pockets off it , Darndale, Clonshaugh and parts of Coolock that are .

These areas are selected because, guess what, they have the space to build . Many other areas are so built up you couldn't build a garden shed .

But you wouldn't know because you are not from there , or probably not even from Ireland . Just importing generalised crxx from wherever .

If you scratch beneath the veneer of supposed human rights, you'll find money at the heart of it.

There's a reason the government aren't importing crates of cornflakes and stacking them to the sky. There's no money in it, for them or those affiliated.

Only today i saw that the government hired "forensic accountants" to look into misappropriation of refugee money. Only years late, of course.

Add in the effect on property scarcity, it's a multi billion euro transfer of public to private hands.

Anytime you see anyone doing something apparently "mad", it's almost always because they have an angle.

Importing never ending amounts of people (which is indeed neverending until somebody has the fortitude to put a number on it) into a yearly worsening housing crisis is mad. Or, I should say, "mad".

Thats my guess, and ill bet you wont hear a better suggestion.
