Russian Ambassador to Turkey murdered live on TV

We, as in all of Ireland don't have a large population of immigrants or refuges, asylum seekers.... on a basic level we have plenty of racists, mainly in the older generation but a lot of young uneducated kids are leaving schools and blaming no jobs on foreigners coming here and taking their work!


This is a rather odd statement, the 26 counties has one of the highest proportions of  foreign-born population in EU-28. The 6 counties have rather less, although a large proportion there think of themselves as immigrants despite living here for 400 years. What Ireland has is a somewhat different pattern of immigration, as its demographics are always unusual.

Apart from Portugal, we have the lowest in western Europe.

Which bit is odd?? I grew up in Belfast and you would have never seen anyone from one week to the next who lived or came from another country, that would have been the case even up to the 90's.. maybe they all lived in Armagh... Muslims even less than Chinese, but as the years past you seen more and more... mainly in small pockets were companies took on employees who were willing to work for a living

Which is a particular sort of immigrant, not the total. There are less than Finland also.

Cross was particularly diverse, with 600 foreigners living in the barracks, many of them muslim. This group of immigrants were quite violent and totally failed to integrate.

However, when we were growing up is not really the issue, rather 2017.
Your basic point is that the significant number of E Europeans is not really an issue, which makes the whole Brexit thing all the more odd.

You don't make any sense.... now we still don't have a significant group of immigrants refugees or others that 'concerns' the natives. It will happen over time, a few generations from now like it did in England...

We  have enough to be worrying about down south than wasting time wondering if someone eats Taytos or Naan bread for lunch.

Who soon integrated fairly well, as Seafoid will soon be along to tell us. Only one invader and occupier that lasted centuries. Last I checked we didn't need to negotiate a treaty with the Danes.

For the vast majority of that Ireland did not see itself as a Country or Nation. It's only now that we see it as one and we apply that retrospectively.

That is correct.

The main suspect in the German attack has been shot dead.
He visited an ISIS affoliated mosque after the attack. WTF are the Germans doing allowing such an institution to exist?

There will be a lot more affiliated mosques to ISIS (or the next incarnation - whatever that is) after a couple of years of the Vlad-Don show.

What is the criteria for affiliation?
