I've seen reference to it before. What's the basis to it?

it all stems from a city council meeting from Springfield Ohio where residents spoke about the shear numbers of Haitians resettled there without community consent and how they are not exactly assimilated into the community. One black guy talked about how they were going to city lakes and ponds and cutting the heads off ducks and eating them. Videos are out there to see and not a right wing conspiracy
Haiti of course was devastated by an earthquake in 2010 and the Clinton foundation along with great Irish man denis o Brien came along to save them only to end up being a complete disaster and Bill, denis and Hillary laughing all the way to the bank , a warning for Ukraine when the war is over beware of carpet baggers and Clinton Foundation.

Thanks. I was pretty sure it wasn't just made up.

I didn't take you for a credulous lad.

Why don't you ask Gmac/T24 to provide some of these videos he says are out there showing the theft and butchering of cats, dogs and ducks?

Ah, in fairness, I'm not all that invested in the US election. Trump is an oaf, and Harris is pretty horrendous to my eyes. They actually used to say they same around here - that Eastern Europeans were killing and eating the ducks and the swans. They probably were. And it's not as if I've never killed and eaten a duck. Dogs is a bit much, though... But, like - it's not THAT outlandish. It could easily be true. Some people dismiss anything Trump says, just because he said it, without trying to see if there's a grain of truth to it. I'm pretty sure Harris was exaggerating when she said about the policemen that had been killed on the 6th Jan.

Edit: Actually, I just did a bit of my own 'research', and found a video! At 2:40 - 3:00 is footage of a Haitian being arrested for killing a cat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIL3Ka3BS0o

Making no inroads in either. Day of Dual Club at high level gone
Emphasis on fitness levels gone extreme nearly & quality is just not there to follow.

Would a reduction of senior football teams, as is being talked about, maybe help some of the dual clubs re-focus a bit on hurling?

[unless RE/ Camross win the Premier Intermediate next year]

Should be no senior B. Just senior intermediate plus Junior A B and C.

Agreed ,buttering it up, barely have 6 Senior standard Teams ,never mind 10 anyway. Standard of hurling in the county gone poor. Ballinikill probably to come straight back rdown unless RE/ Camross win the Premier Intermediate next year.

And they probably will.
Are Ballyfin going to get any stronger any time soon?
Who else will be capable of beating them?

No. I think Ballyfin are giving precedence to football.

The championship has yet to ignite and we are down to four teams. It really reinforces the need to reduce the number of teams as oppose to increasing the numbers as it would have been more productive. Six team league with top team to final and second v third in a semi final was the way forward. That guarantees stronger teams playing against one another more often and in turn raising standards hopefully. Also helps strengthen premier intermediate which is going to be a farce next year with how weak the standard of teams in the championship are. Our premier intermediate winners last few years have struggled to make an impact in the Leinster championship so whoever wins it next year will be on a hiding to nothing.

Premier Intermediate looks to be a weak enough championship. I honestly think a good few of the Intermediate teams are as good as them. If they were going to have 10 at senior, why not just amalgamate the two intermediate grades, and the left overs into Junior 'A'? Colt-Shanahoe, for example, will be beaten by most of the intermediate teams. Talk about a club that has regressed since amalgamating...

I'm sure there are many things the media don't tell us but it's the same whether it's "msm" or not.

It's like Whitey said, if it wasn't for twitter none of the mainstream media would have picked up on the anti-Irish SPHE textbook.

I think there is definitely a narrower range of opinions in the mainstream media now. The Irish Times used to carry columnists such as John Waters and Kevin Myers, an even had articles by the likes of Desmond Fennell. Now it gets no more 'edgy' than Michael McDowell. God, even some if its reporting is highly suspicious. There was a story it published about an attack on a migrant camp on the banks on the Dodder a couple of years ago, that is highly unlikely to have happened at all. But then, the IT is endlessly cheerleading for multiculturalism, so what would you expect?!

RTE's news presentations are pretty biased but, in fairness - and much to my amazement - it did interview Malachy Steenson for a documentary it had about the local elections.

There have been so many attacks on migrant camps  and traveler camps that it's difficult to know which attack you're referring to that supposedly never happened.
Is it this one that actually happened or is there some other 'ghost attack' by police or by rabid Irish 'brown shirts'?

This "attack" didn't actually happen - at least not as reported in The IT initially.

Far right is all about distraction and preventing problems being solved.
Brexit is a great example.

Brexit is a terrible example. Tory Brexit was a globalist project - exactly the opposite of what people voted for.

It was an elite project wrapped up in far right rhetoric.

And it did not deliver what the right wanted. You could actually say - with more justification - the elites are all about distraction and preventing problems being solved. Which is quite akin to what From The Bunker said.

You could but conventional politicians are more likely to get things done eg the US inflation act or climate action in Ireland. Far right politicians are designed to stop thing getting done.

"Designed"? By whom? The elites? As a distraction? When you hear the guards saying the 'far right' is the biggest threat in the state, you know they're just trying to create a bogeyman. While they don't get things done.

Anyway, most of the time the elites won't let the right 'get things done'.

Far Right is the distraction from problems that governments don't want to solve.

Like Russia ?
Why are they anti climate action?

Open borders is anti-climate action.

Hard to see Ross going again, anyway.

You've made no point..

I've asked you is there a minimum wage structure in the south?

That's a yes or no answer

You've already said that there is a cohort of people that are happy to rape the system dry

And a cohort of people who don't get enough to run things? That's down to them. If you think people should get paid more money then that's down to employers.

If someone applies for a job, they'll know how much it pays, only a header would apply for a job that's not ( for them) cover their needs

If we have to bring in immigrants to fill the jobs that the locals won't do, then there should be no complaints about bringing them.

Also put me on ignore.

No, I've never put anyone on ignore. Wouldn't stoop to that. I just don't bother answering most of your posts.

I'll give the example of a meat factory, because there's one near to where I live. Not so long ago, this was worked by Irish people from the locality. They were prepared to do so, and it gave them enough to run the basic things of living in Ireland - car, family, etc. Now these factories have barely any Irish people in them, because people come from other countries and work for low wages that are more than adequate to run a family, mortgage, etc., in their own country, but not here. It's not that the Irish WON'T do this work, it's that they CAN'T AFFORD to - if they want the normal things people aspire to in this country. You say it's up to employers to give a living wage, but why the hell would they when the government has simply opened up the labour market to all and sundry from anywhere and everywhere?! You sound a bit like a Tory, actually.

I mentioned the Irish Ferries thing before. The unions have been absolutely defeated on this, partly because of name-calling idiots who think cutting off their nose does no more than spite their face.

So the south doesn't have a minimum wage structure?

Can these white Irish natives get all the things you have mentioned by not working?

Employers are looking at costs to stay open, if you were to run a business you need to make it profitable otherwise why would you run it? A successful business is one that is making 5% profit after its outgoings

I used to place students into work, getting them through their qualifications and apprenticeships, speaking to employers every day, one major engineering employer had a lot of Poles working for them, he showed me a simple manufacturing chart on production, the production of the Poles in comparison to the white local Irish natives, simply put, if the poles were not working there the place would have closed.

The Poles were able to live here, have a car either rent or buy a house and still send money home, maybe the asperations of some need to be matched by their effort at work, if you have high asperations then you need to look for employment that will match that..

 

Well, I agree with the last bit. Some people tie themselves up in debt because they want to 'keep up with the Jones'', or whatever. Still doesn't change the fact that importing workers helps keep wage costs down.
