It turns out that he is mentally ill. This will satisfy all parties.

Its a weird kind of mental illness that makes him a homicidal maniac.

What was the Algerian Dublin stabber doing between 2003 (when he probably should have been deported) and 2023 when he went all stabby?

He was working. You can't claim and receive benifits if you have not contributed.

His nation of origin like his mental health status is irrelevant unless you are making some sort of crypto point.

Ireland as an Island could very easily restrict migration even after Ireland voted in a referendum to endorse freedom of movement within the EU. The problem is that US policy is to invade and destabilise the middle East, North Africa and Sub Saharan Africa and as Europe follows the US there is not much we can do about it. US immigration policy is much stricter than Europe's but Europe is militariarly weak and socially liberal and under the political domination of the US.

I don't have any problem with the level of migration into Ireland and don't see or feel any threat from these people.

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [282]

Is Christy Moore not mainstream Irish?

Its debateable if he was ever mainstream. He was a folk singer in Britain in the late 60s but after hearing the string arrangements of Sweeneys men he helped form Planxty who were huge. Since he left Planxty he has toured the Christy Moore "show" with Moving Hearts and later with accompanying musicians.

Today he is a nostalgia act if he is still playing live. I have loved him since the 70s and have seen him several times but rarely listen to his solo work now.

As "H" says he is a bit 'Oirish'.

I think there are large, systemic patterns of dysfunction in current European migration policy

It would be hard to find anyone who disagrees with this. Branding all migrants as X,Y or Z is childish as is dividing people into good migrants vs bad migrants.

There is nothing scary about Sinn Féin, all the ones in their 60s will be retired soon the rest are where the action is. These youngsters could bore for Ireland.

I WAS terrified of the Banshee though

So was I, didn't think She would kill me but really didn't want to see or hear one. I'm still not that comfortable with the idea of them even if I'm pretty sure they don't exist.

In the north we have soda farls and potato bread which is a must with any fried breakfast. Our soda is different to the soda bread in the Republic (which we also have but call it bread :))which always throws nordies off when we ask for it in shops

We have no large migrant groups causing mayhem. There simply isn't a history of it.

Very true

What we do have, is a MAJOR problem with scumbags in the inner city of Dublin.

Nail on head.

Those people chose to attack the Gardai, the fire brigade and health workers then burn public transport and steal sports gear. It was not exactly a "race riot".

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

By the way, America is actually arriving at this point as well

What could possibly go wrong when people are elected on the basis of who they would want to have a pint with. I can't see anyone wanting to go on the lash with Kaczyński, from reading these posts it seems that PiS attract a load of private drinkers.

I am currently involved in industrial action and a rather nice Polish woman who admits that her family are all PiS supporters is strike breaking. She believes that the powers that be will look after her best interests...deluded.

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [291]

Thats great, I started mine in a greenhouse but soon had to move the greenhouse as the fig had quickly outgrown it. It is about 10years old now and gives a lot of fruit on the new growth. Despite the wasps getting a lot of the fruit I still get enough for my needs plus I propagate it making nice presents.

Do you know the variety of fig you are growing. In Ireland, as far as I know, brown turkey is the only one that produces fruit that ripens.

Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [198]

@Kashub1410
I didnt for a second suggest any of that, I simply pointed out reality. The EU is key to Poland building its economy and as I said above, with rights/desires comes responsibility. Poland has its own EU representatives both elected and appointed civil servants and its their job to network and then build alliances to get the result Poland wants.

In the past Ireland tried the pure sovereignty approach with "comely maidens dancing at the crossroads" etc and it was a disaster. PiS seem to want to re-enact this disaster in Poland.

I dont like the modern world with its mobile phones and Internet (apart from the bits I use) food deliveries and a list of other things several pages long but that's the way the world has gone. Poland will just have to get used to modern life.

If you dont like the club you are perfectly free to campaign to have the good people of Poland follow Britains lead and vote to leave. Perhaps Global Poland will have more luck than Global Britain.

Oh, and good luck paying for this huge military outside the EU.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [325]

Stopping Napoleon and Hitler are convent excuses given to Russia

Well they did stop them and occupied Paris and Berlin 😊

Perhaps during the deluge Poland should picked better allies.

I would learn a bit of history if I were you cos that polemic and the previous one are ahistorical nonsense.
