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

And so what if it’s declining?

The earth needs to slow down population growth if we are to tackle climate change.

Why the need to increase our population??

It's true. Rome is still full of weirdos.

Papal declaration that artificial birth control is inherently wrong continues to affect lives of the most vulnerable.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, 214 million women of reproductive age in developing countries who want to avoid pregnancy do not have access to modern contraceptives; most are in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia.

The Catholic Church’s efforts to restrict reproductive rights are perhaps most detrimental in Africa, where Catholicism is growing faster than on any other continent. European colonisers imported their versions of Christian patriarchy to their African colonies. 

The Catholic Church is also a major source of healthcare and education in many African countries, allowing it to spread its views and restrictions on sexual and reproductive rights.

Pope Benedict XVI repeatedly warned during his visits to Africa that condoms worsen the Aids crisis, stating that “the fabric of African life, its very source of hope and stability, is threatened by… a contraception mentality.”

Seemingly it's to a large degree a survival mechanism.

Children and parents do better in these circumstances if they've a larger family who'll look out for each other.

I'm surprised the knife attacks don't seem to have been mentioned here today.

Making the international news too.

So yes . Lots more Catholic babies in Africa and making sure to keep AIDS rumbling on .

Catholic form of population control maybe ?

Anyone remember when people on this thread used to pretend their anti-immigration movement was about protecting the tourist industry.

Asylum is destroying social cohesion in the country.

The government have created this mess, they've sponsored it, and allowed it to fester.

Things are going to continue to get progressively worse.

Leeds is being burnt by mobs now…

"Newly elected Leeds councillor Mothin Ali spotted among the crowd in the ongoing riots in Harehills, Leeds.

The crowd have been attacking police, and have overturned a police vehicle, smashing its windows.

Pro-Palestine councillor Mothin Ali previously defended the October 7th attack on Israel, saying Palestinians had a right to ‘fight back.’"

This really is not going to end well, wtf were the UK people thinking voting this thug labour govt in that will make this issue 10x worse.

Leeds a nice look at where we will end up

Are you actually trying to pretend that the impact on tourism isn't one of several issues here?

It should be pretty obvious that making loads of hotel rooms, that would normally be paid for by tourists, unavailable and then using taxpayer money to purchase them for unemployed people to stay in for an unknown period of time is not a sustainable approach.

It's just a fact that this will negatively affect the tourist industry. Regardless of the alleged motivation for pointing out that fact it still remains a fact.

The Irish taxpayer is essentially paying for tourists not to come here but anyone noticing this can't mention it for fear of being branded racist.

It's only a matter of time before we need to deal with this.

Will the Garda deal with them with violence.? And pepper spray.?

Whilst she and her husband line their pockets with sweetheart deals with the EU.

Gombeenism isn't just an Irish trait.

Well then we've very different views on what constitutes far-right. Why do countries have flags? We've already lost our language. There's not a whole lot left! If I want to preserve and promote my heritage I'm far-right? Is the lad in the Aras far-right? He loves a bit of Irishness, infact he's made a career out of it. MD loves our culture, our history, he must be a big racist eejit then.

Hitler, really? I believe in live and let live, and I'm against oppression in all forms, mine, yours and the oppression of those seeking asylum. I also believe in common sense.

Nurture other cultures and to hell with your own, got it. Why wouldn't you want to integrate into the way of life of a nation that is providing you asylum?

Of the lengthy post I wrote, it's funny what you responded to. Let me guess, that makes you far-left? Is that how this works?

Seek your asylum by all means, but when you reach your safe destination, respect that countries laws, culture and population.

I find people fleeing persecution, which is quite often religion based, then pushing or promoting that same way of life that had them flee in the first place all a bit strange.

Some cultures just don't want to integrate no matter what country they set up shop in, and it's mind boggling that those of a left persuasion just don't get that, or seem to care at all!

If you want to pray to a purple ostrich or some lad in a book that's your own business, but it'd be nice if religious extremists stayed where they are and didn't infect Europe. Unfortunately, and looking at the riots in the UK tonight thanks to multiculturalism, I fear little old Ireland's best days are behind her.

We've problems of our own here, deep rooted, maybe a hangover from hundreds of years of oppression and then all the misery and alcoholism and drugs and church scandals, economic issues and housing crisis. How do we improve things? How do we get a handle on a fractured society and areas riddled with feral youths and people struggling in a cost of living crisis? We import bus loads of men, (because I sure as **** never see any women or children among them) into communities desperate to be heard only to get a metaphoric slap in the face from their government. And if they object? Just label them all far-right and send in the Public Order Unit, and if you've seen the videos you know they get the job done, nobody too old or too young!

Well inviting them in with own door accommodation within 10 mins like some gobshite did. Doesn't help.
