And if the answer is yes-do you support open borders?
All concerns? Not in the slightest. But anyone who regards it as a priority or anything close to one, or who spends more time obsessing about it than about they do about health, education, taxation etc...Well you have to question their motivation.
After all, other than racism or stupidity, why would anyone be angry enough to take to the streets, or to base their voting decisions in protest about immigration ahead of in protest about the state of the health service, or housing crisis, or tax evasion by the super wealthy etc etc etc?
Screaming far right doesn't help.
Hospitals have been a shambles long before a refugee was about the place. If you blame hospital issues on refugees it's as simple as this, you are a racist.
And we were told that there was no money to fix hospitals..........and yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
There's towns and villages that don't have a single Guard-and yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
38000 people have been waiting for more than 18 months for a scan yet we have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
10,000 disabled kids have been waiting for more than a year to get an appt to see a specialist and yet we somehow have hundreds of millions (if not billions) to house, feed and clothe refugees
People are rightly outraged and it has shag all to do with racism
I hear it's closer to trillions. You forgot to shoehorn the homeless in there. You've a huge heart caring so deeply about so so many

You have to be wondering what the hell is going on? What is the aim purpose of all this. Are we trying to boost our young population artificially with the planted to maintain what is an aging population around the corner.

Ah so your biggest concern day to day isn't being able to afford to heat the home you can't afford to own, but rather, it's the money the state has to pay for those damn immigrants? Surely if it's true that on a day-to-day bais the health of the states coffers are of more concern to you than your own coffers, then taxation and tax dodging by the superwealthy that ought to be making you mad, instead of the dark skinned fella walking down the street minding his own business?
People have (and had) legitimate concerns that are not being addressed
The government (and Sinn Fein) had an opportunity to tackle this but they caved to the woke NGOs and just started calling people racists and far right
I have 4 immediate family members who are staunch lifelong Blueshirts and they're all voting third party at the next election
I'm not surprised that's the stock you come from.
Tell me, who is this "third party" and what's the name of the candidate?
I used the term third party in the generic sense-ie not FF, FG, SF, PBP, Labour etc
Candidates haven't been declared yet-so it will be some type of protest vote for someone like Aontu or an independent if I were to guess
Ok so who does that leave for them to vote for. Tell me the constituency and I'll even help you find out.
I would say Aontu is a possibility or a good independent who some chance of winning

Immigration affects health, education and housing.
Quote from: Snapchap on March 28, 2024, 12:48:18 PMQuote from: Armagh18 on March 28, 2024, 08:51:59 AMUnfortunately theres a fair chunk of ordinary people with genuine concerns about immigration (fair few there will be a small bit racist too I'll admit) but they're by no stretch far right looneys. The danger is the far right looneys who are probably 0.001% can appeal to that more moderate chunk who have been let down the major parties and feel like they've no choice.
If you are looking at the next election with your main focus being on immigration, then I'm afraid you are either stupid or racist (and all racists are stupid).
Interesting listening to Brolly's podcast today. He referenced a recent Ipsos research poll into people's biggest priorities in the 26 counties.
Immigration finished top at 22%!!!! To put that f**king lunacy into context, healthcare came in at 4%. Education came in at 2%. Taxes and the economy at 2%. Energy prices, which have increased by around 1,000% in the last decade at 2%.
If you're the sort of person for whom immigration is more imporant than healthcare, taxation, education, housing, the cost of living, then you're too f**king stupid to see how you're being manipulated.

Quote from: bennydorano on March 27, 2024, 09:00:44 PMArmagh win by 2 (2.9 to 2.7) after looking like they were going to choke and throw it away after being in control throughout. Cavan much more aggressive in their pressing and application in the 2nd half, could have nicked it.
Out of Armagh's 2.9 I'd say the forwards contributed 0.2 maybe, that's a good & bad stat.
