Row in Newry?

Our 'fellow Europeans' seem to have a hard time of it in the North.

A friend of mine from Slovakia lived in Belfast for 6 months. He said it was the worst time of his life. He said everyone was horrible to him, the people in shops, pubs, etc just would just tell him to leave, he would offer to buy people drinks and things like that but they would tell him where to go. Kids would throw stones at him in the street.

So eventually he just gave up on trying to socialise and just went to work, bought food and then sat at home everyday for the rest of his time there.  He lived in Dublin for a bit and said it was fine, didnt encounter anything like that at all.

Newry really has a problem with outsiders. I drove through it last week and the number of people dressed in 1980s tracksuits begging for money was unreal!

Do you mean the Armagh supporters collecting for the new manager fund?
