In Dublin, Cork, Galway – across the south – there have been arson attacks on premises planned to house immigrants. Is Ireland (or the southern lot, anyway) a country full of ignorant racists? Are the gardaí going too soft? Come to that, are the garda ranks somewhere that young people now want to join? The pay is hopeless, the job is stressful – no wonder over 150 of them opted to retire last year, many of them five years or less with the force.
Are there southern accents to be heard as presenters on BBC NI? RTÉ, in contrast, has several northern voices. Is this deliberate policy – keep the south safely insulated from the north, who cares what happens in Fermoy anyway?
Cillian Murphy has got a Golden Globe as best actor and his film Oppenheimer is given another for best film. Does it make sense to jump up and down with delight when an Irish person succeeds? After all, very few of us has seen them in the flesh, let alone know them.
This and so, so much more to light up your Monday….
Jude. You’re talking out of your arse big lad. The southerners don’t want 50-100 illegals (all men ) from Algeria and other peace loving societies crammed into an old building next to their house or kids primary school.
I suggest you keep out of this conversation or you’ll look the fool.
You are both totally out of touch. 90% say too many immigrants have been taken in.God help you finding an old folks home.
Northerners in RTE. Pat you sound like the sketch from “ two doors down” world champions from Scotland, Andy Murray, followed by by a silence, followed by someone saying “ the snooker player”.
Jude is badly out of touch with the current reality in regards to immigration in Ireland.
well I can’t believe this garbage I’m reading. You’re a disappointment Jude and you’ve let our nation down greatly. You had a voice and you choose to use it to spout shite. Consider me*unsubscribed*
