Deliberate Pollution

[happy daze john in oz]

But consider how the nation would if taken over by some other nation.
Maybe the Spanish conquistadors who most likely would have put those here to the sword.
Or maybe the French or even the Germans.

The local population have done very well since January 26th 1788, a lot agree but there are some 'white men' who want to think differently and think thye know best.

[James Curry]

John, I would think the local population would have preferred just to get on with their lives without outside interference.
Next time you are in Irleand visiting family just put that point of view to those in any bar in the Repulic of Ireland and see if they agree.

[happy daze john in oz]

Yes, but you miss the point.
At some time all nations have been taken over by some other.
The republic was at one time ruled by the British, now a republic which does not want to join the north.

The taoiseach has said he believes Ireland is "on the path to unification" and that there will be a united Ireland within his lifetime. Leo Varadkar made the comments in an interview on RTÉ's News at One. He told the Irish broadcaster that in a united Ireland there would be a minority of roughly a million people who identify as British.

Seems the Taoisearch does not share your views on that 1.

True I suppose 1066 an all that.

As the republic of Ireland is a E.U member state they are having to accept large numbers of migrants from north Africa and Arab states to such an extent that in many parts of Dublin and other towns local women are being verbally and physically abused by these, mainly young men, to such an extent that many women are afraid to go out alone. Until the Irish government saught out the problem of having hordes of young men of dubious religious beliefs roaming the streets insulting women and attacking them, I would have thought that unification should be low down on his wish list.

Very true John , but a lot of them are not stopping there . They use Ireland as a stepping stone and travel up North jump the ferry and arrive in the UK. There are no passport controls in place between Ireland and the UK. Birkenhead is becoming increasing dark. I have how the local yobs in Birkenhead treat the new arrivals , shall we say they are not encouraged to stay.

But the EU would appear to be using Ireland as a dumping ground migrants.

Has the UK closed the loop hole on foreign students at a UK Uni to bring their families with them?

The boss there in Ireland may think there will be reunification, but from what we know of family and friends there it is very remote.
A no longer used convent in Fethard Co Tipp is being used as a hostel for legal and illegal migrants.
Good friend runs a B&B cannot get local staff, all they can get are virtually non English speaking migrants.

I see Sweden has now said non citizens will no longer be able to get any form of social security.
Convinced this will discourage illegals and others.

Convinced this will discourage illegals and others.

My Swedish friends tell me that Sweden is being swamped by its former open-arms policy, out of a population of just over 11 million, 3 million of those are immigrants and we think we've got problems. On a recent visit to see them I was told there were a lot of no-go areas and the Police are finding it difficult to recruit people and its not just the low pay.

[James Curry]

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan maybe this guy had a point when Sweden wanted to join NATO he said the place was a hot bed of terrorists

I suppose he would know, it takes one to know one , he is not exactly a Saint either?

According to mid day news they are now close to being admitted to NATO.
It will be a deterrent to Russia one spokesman said.
