Must be grim up North these days

Well, it's nice to see a bit of concern.

Is this the first time anyone has given a shite down there since 1921  ?

From D'Examiner

Gardaí have arrested two men on suspicion of membership of a violent right-wing extremist organisation.

The arrest follows the discovery of four suspect devices across the border in Annalong, Co Down, by the PSNI. 

The discovery and arrest have been seen as a significant, but not unexpected, development in Garda Headquarters, given the deteriorating climate of hatred and violence from the far right towards asylum seekers and foreigners.

The two men, aged in their 40s and 30s, were arrested following a major surveillance operation by Garda security services, working in conjunction with the PSNI.

They were arrested by the Special Detective Unit (SDU) — the force's operational anti-terrorism unit — following a vehicle stop in Co Laois on Wednesday.

They are being detained on suspicion of membership of an unlawful organisation under the Offences Against the State Act 1939.

This suggests the two men are suspected of being part of an actual organisation, believed to be a relatively new violent far-right extremist organisation.

The numbers in the organisation are understood to be small.

PSNI officers recovered four suspected improvised devices at the scene in a search carried out on Wednesday night. During the operation, a number of local residents were evacuated from their houses, and they have since returned to their homes.

It is understood that the Garda National Crime & Security Intelligence Service has been putting additional resources into preventing and investigating the possible emergence of a violent far-right organisation in Ireland.

Various units, including the SDU, have been on a heightened "state of alert" for such a development, not least given the escalation of violence and arson attacks directed at asylum seekers.

One of the lines of inquiry is to establish the possible intended use of the suspected IED and whether or not asylum accommodation could have been targeted.

Digital devices linked to the two men arrested are currently being examined.

Garda National Crime & Security Intelligence Service Assistant Commissioner Michael McElgunn said: "An Garda Síochána is committed to identifying, assessing and countering security threats to our communities.

"This ongoing operation demonstrates the close working relationships An Garda Síochána has with our colleagues in the Police Service of Northern Ireland to investigate and interdict threats across the island of Ireland, keeping people safe."

Meanwhile, the Irish Examiner understands that the SDU are supporting the investigation into the arson attack on an Ipas centre in Drogheda.

The are going to increase taxes for the working man to help pay for the people who dont work.

And the uper rich who don't pay tax!

Hope whitey is OK after that NY election result

Hopefully it's the first sign of the U.S. becoming adult again.

My understanding is it is easier to dissappear into the grey in Britain. You can work, open a bank account, rent a house, pay utilities, run a car etc without a national insurance number. You simply can't do that in France.

There's over 300 thousand in past 15 years have made it their home in France though.. what would be the uk figures

Over a million undocumented in Britain. And I've seen estimates of way more than that. One million is conservative.

So Brexit had the desired effect! NHS In worst state and controlling the borders in worst position than when in the EU

Would there be ones in the south looking to exit the EU also?

The 2% nazifascist ones plus maybe 10% at most of more normal humans.

We are not leaving the EU or the CTA with GB, or sealing the border between 6 and 26.

Without re checking  nett immigration was around 140,000 last year.
Around 10% of those were IP seekers.

I wonder are there many jobs going unfilled because people can't get accomodation or affordable accomodation?

2 more heroes of the right making the news today

Attempted murder of 28 people is a "deflection"

We can take it that whitey and the other person support trying to murder 28 people (or 2,000 if they'd got into citywest) once the victims are black/brown skinned foreigners.

A thoroughly disgusting individual.

What's a "closed border?"
Is it like North Korea?
Aren't most Countries' borders controlled, except for Britain's border in Ireland which our Government fought tooth and nail to keep open.
Controlled as in you get through them if you're re entering your own Country, or have a visa/work permit or residency permit OR are applying for International Protection.

The few times I flew into Dublin I had to show my passport which was scanned.
The Q at the non EU/UK/EEA/Switzerland was quite slow moving though.
