Dublin Bother
I am sure many will have seen or heard about the rioting in Dublin the other night.
An urgent appeal has gone out for aid.

The PSNI have also sent Water Cannons over the border to assist the Gardi in crowd control.
BREAKING: Gardai have been lent two large water cannons from the PSNI to combat potential unrest in Dublin city centre.
Nothing like cross border cooperation

Re: Dublin Bother
John ,Just a bunch of extreme right wing arseholes exploiting a rumour that the person responsible for the stabbings outside a school was an immigrant. Police have not said who the knife man was only that he was a 50+year old man.
One thing that is known is the guy that knocked 7 kinds of tish out of the assailant was a deliveroo guy. He is from Poland I think.
The rumours on socail media led to looting and civil unrest, TV footage of those involved appeared to be locals.

Re: Dublin Bother
There is a running undercurrent in the republic at present with the number of immigrants in the country.
Good friend of ours runs a B&B was approached by the authorities to take in one family as permanent guests paid for by the state.
She refused having seen the condition of the local convent.
It was closed a few years ago and turned over for these people, they wrecked it.
Any business regarding these people is causing distress to so many, result any small issue brings it all to the surface with dire results.
Problem has been the EU who told the republic it must take a number of illegals, went down like a lead balloon with the locals.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Dublin Bother
Is that any reason for stoning the police,throwing petrol bombs , burning buses and looting shops.
If it was immigrants doing it John your point would be valid.
All that was was just a bunch of *rseholes using any excuse to rob the shops.

Well , I am a rightwing ##sehole and very happy to be such. Be that as it may , reports here are that it was indeed an asylum seeker
from Algeria. But it's not just Ireland as has previously been noted. Very many European countries have been scourged by the influx
of there people. In many cases young virile males which maked a joke of the term Asylum seekers.
Lets just hope that our new government lives up to it's promises - borders shut , all aid to left wing NGO's stopped , and a referendum
on a nexit.
Bye the bye , a real monday morning laugh. In a place called Kijkduin which is the home of many rich who belong to the ruling
( for the moment ) VVD party. 200 young Syrian and Yemeni men have been put up in a luxuary hotel overlooking the North Sea . The
irony being that those who belong to a party which has brought all these people into the country , now have them on their own
doorstep and they aint happy bunnies no more ... Geweldig.

Re: Dublin Bother
#7, John C, Correct the attacker is Algerian by birth and has been resident in Eire apparently for 20 years. Whether he has become an Irish national who knows as there has obviously been a clamp down on most news channels on his background, one tabloid suggests he has been up in Court before on another knife Charge though the Judge saw fit to let him go due to his mental condition!!
Truth be known Leo Varadkar and his ilk have been caught off guard and are panicking because this attacker has been free to roam and knowing full well like every other Government, UK, Europe etc this outrageous immigration scenario is about to implode. None of them are fit to be in Office. Meanwhile two children, one seriously ill and their Teacher/ Class rm Assistant are still in hospital and that is NO laughing matter!

Re: Dublin Bother
I have since found out that he has lived in Ireland for 20 years or so. It is certainly not a laughing matter and hopefully those stabbed will make a full recovery.
How many times have we heard it before, the attacker was known to the autorities be it the UK Europe etc!
Right wing or extremism would be anarchy
But John I see you describe yourself as being right wing, would you have started stoning the police , setting fire to buses and looting shops?

Re: Dublin Bother
Thanks for the input Marian . Yes , this Algerian had - in 2018 - a deportation order on him but dissapeared from sight until caught after
his latest spree. Seems that the life support of the victim has been stopped.
Another classic reported here ( No Mister Curry , not a right wing orientated media) that a Yemeni convicted of rape who was supposed to heve been deported from the UK years ago has finally been delivered to his Walhalla . He apparently has been able to drag out his deportation through help from left wing lawyers. He gets a handout , put up in a hotel in Yemen and recieves free medical treatment - all
this as part of the deportation deal he made.
The world -and especially Europe - has gone out of control

No , of course not , that is being done - in the Netherlands anyway - by left wing anarchists and hooligans. Not living in the UK , I can
only quote what I hear and read , taking into account the disgraceful left wing bias here.
