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

Any people being violent are scumbags and they do their supposed cause more harm than good by causing trouble, they should protest peacefully or through the ballot box.

Coolock is one of the most deprived areas of Ireland.In fairness it is perfectly valid to question why are refugees being sent to a deprived area when they could easily be accommodated in more well to do areas which would be a better place to start your life in a new country than adding to the stresses on an already deprived area.

The people who claim to be caring seem to want unlimited immigration appear to want to turn Ireland into a western European version of Qatar where the native population are outnumbered by immigrant labourers who help prop up the natives standard of living it's just their self righteousness blinds them to this.

The violence is the fault of these agitators and yobs.

No one else.

We’ve always had immigration in this country.

The people has a chance for change recently. They didn’t.
If it was such a pressing issue, the election should have had a different outcome.
It didn’t.

You really should stop watching cartoons on tik tok

TThe Problem we have is the the POU is trained for riot situations and to go in all weapons blazing,the are ill trained for a situation like Coolock where you had a mix of rioters,old,young and curious bystanders,they all were treated the same way by the POU as per instructions from Mcentee.

They got it wrong in Newtown and they got it wrong again today. Given how trigger happy they are with pepper spary I'm glad we don't have an armed police force.

How are local elections a chance for change on national led policies?

That election hasn't happened yet. We've never had immigration like what we currently do and given a referendum on the matter we would promptly take the Danish route. It's dispicable what the government are doing and very disingenuous of you to use the word immigration when in reality the issue is refugees and international protection applicants.

Something many immigrants also take issue with.

Geez billy,you're wasted here,you need to contribute to the gardening forum as well.

You seemed to have missed the first part of my post.

How come he has no hair in his video tonight,did customs seize his hair plugs.

Ask him?

You can probably guess the real irony at play here..

I'm abroad at the minute working and only catching up now.

**** me this class of entitled welfare gougers out again early on a Monday (funny that) causing havoc and a riot.

The state needs to seriously clamp down in this space. Too many entitled generational scrotes around that have not got a working bone in their body.

One things for sure, the people of coolock have had their cough softened.

Let there be no doubt that the widespread online condemnation of the entire area will let them see the errors of their ways.

I remember a professor telling me that the way to win people over is to subject them to that which you won't yourself tolerate, and he was very precise about the numbers in hateful slurring too. 452 dole merchants, 9645 scumbag, and 12,000 knacker is the key.

Theyre a strange lot, one slur more or one less, it can antagonise them. Extreme caution is needed.

If the instructions are followed correctly by those, let's say, virtuously aspirant, the next time you attempt to put hundreds of unwanted refugees into a paint factory beside them, they'll roll over and even do tricks.

Its a bit like abradadabra for the strategically malnourished.

I won't vote for FFG in the upcoming elections. I think it's better for this country if a left alliance gives the forever government a break for at least one term.

Now why would I vote for a FFG guy in my locals? Because they're by far the best people for the job where I live and influence local issues not national ones like our refugee policy.

I voted FF, FG, Green, Sinn Fein and Independent for the locals. All got elected. I will under no circumstances vote FF, FG or Green in the general election and I'm sure many will be the same.

Local ≠ General.

the riots suit the Government agenda,"see the far right are the only ones worried about mass immigration",there is a much bigger cohort that arent yet on the streets but are increasingly concerned by this escalating immigration conundrum.I imagine the game is to hold the current line until after re - election when they may fess up and admit mistakes were made,Covid,Ukraine, eyes off the ball ,we are where we are and plans are afoot.

Does it need explaining? He's perfectly entitled as an activist to go wherever he wants. The bigger question is, where are the local councillors for that area. I think one of them went on national TV instead 😂

Anyway seeing as you made the comment, what's wrong with a holiday? In fact I'm on one right now, they're great you should try it 😎
