Robust new policing announced in the UK - threadbans in OP

"there's none so blind as those who will not see"

we are in a very dangerous situation. If you don't open your eyes and see, open your ears and listen then you're like the proverbial ostrich. There is blame on both sides NOT just some perception that if all the "Far Right" are jailed we're all going to be ok. This has started and there is no turning back.

What is worrying is the Government and media are shifting the balance to protecting migrants rather than their own citizens. The Irish Government is now open to numerous compensation claims and court cases over the fact they can't "house" migrants quickly enough . Yet not housing young Irish people who have been educated and are working and paying high taxes here is fine? Irish people cannot take a case, nobody is speaking for them! Young couples are putting off having babies because they are still living with their parents.

The Govt appointed Nigerian woman Dr Ebun Joseph as Special Rapporteur for the National Plan against Racism, someone who wanted the statues outside the Shelbourne removed for depicting slavery and stated "Irish people need training in how not to be racist" . The messaging is wrong, it's one sided and is creating anger and frustration in a country that has done it's best in a very short time to house unlimited Ukrainians which we did admirably …….. but now is expected to take migrants from Georgia, Nigeria, Algeria, Somalia, Libya, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe…………..with no plan, no discussion, no fear of consequence.

This can't be ignored anymore. What is happening in the UK is likely to happen in Ireland in the future. If you have kids and grandkids you cannot afford to put your hands over your ears and shout "Far Right" anymore. It is no longer a small minority. The problem is far bigger than that and it's on both sides!

when you say "you've now moved the goalposts to complain about something in Ireland"….. this was my first post on this thread so there is no "now" about it. While the thread is about policing in the UK does that exclude one saying similar incidents and similar policing styles might have the same effect in Ireland? Dr Ebun Joseph was a RTE leading story on the 9 O'clock News just last month and spoken about for the entire week. She was appointed by Minister for State Joe O Brien on 2 July as an independent rapporteur on racism.

You're style of post is rather cynical. You might need to be a bit more broadminded and look at things from all sides instead of putting your hands over your ears and shouting "la la la la la la la ". This isn't going away. There is wrong on both sides when it comes to the UK Riots. That is clear to see.

I only came on to make one point and I did it without hostility…..I made just ONE post here and you have accused me of "bad faith" simply because I referenced Ireland?? I am out now.

It is a big sign when people start screaming racism and islamaphobia at a broadcaster who actually reported a true event that did actually happen. Why start screaming like lunatics because the BBC is doing it's job properly.

Did you not see it ?
