Quote from: yellowcard on Today at 03:19:43 PMQuote from: From the Bunker on Today at 03:16:08 PMIn 10 years they have had as leaders;
Ian Paisley
Peter Robinson
Arlene Foster
Edwin Poots
Jeffrey Donaldson
Gavin Robinson
The melt-down continues.
In the words of the late Ian Paisley (senior) ''Where's Jeffrey?''
Its a poisoned chalice for whoever steps in next as well. They will have to appoint a leader soon as there are elections coming up in the next year. I don't see too many who would be queuing up to get the job with all of the issues that they have to deal with.

I'd say 80% + of your posts are on immigration. If it's just because of the impact immigration has on other services then why aren't you as vocal about the other major factors?Quote from: trueblue1234 on Today at 12:35:34 AMQuote from: whitey on March 28, 2024, 11:42:17 PMI get itI think the point is why are you not as agitated about other perhaps more significant issues such as the aforementioned tax evasion on the likes of the Healthcare, law enforcement etc if you can explain that, then people might be less likely to label you as potentially racist for constantly referring it back to immigration.
Any any all complaints/concerns regarding migrants/refugees/asylum seekers are driven by racism or stupidity or both
If you're a taxpayer how dare you question the funneling of hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to immigration when basic services such as healthcare, law enforcement and education go unfounded
Should be an interesting election season
Who said I'm not agitated about all these other things........we just happen to be discussing immigration and in my opinion people have legitimate beefs with the government over how they've handled this crisis
Whether it's the non
enforcement of our own laws, or suddenly finding hundreds of millions of Euros in funding for refugees while basic services for the population at large are seriously underfunded
Do you think they have handled it properly?
Can you understand why it looks like racism?
Refresh my memory-exact what race do Ukrainians (and Georgians) belong to?
I don't believe they're the only ones that have you hot and bothered. But I'm quite happy to change the word to xenophobic if you prefer?Quote from: trueblue1234 on Today at 02:31:07 PMQuote from: whitey on Today at 01:04:05 PMQuote from: trueblue1234 on Today at 11:06:15 AMQuote from: whitey on Today at 12:51:46 AMIt's obvious from your posts your more motivated by the impact of immigration than others aspects that affect healthcare and service provision.

So is it xenophobic for people to support the governments policy of
"bringing Ireland in line with other EU countries" when it comes to welfare payments to Ukrainians?

Who claimed that?
You did. Unless I misunderstood you
