Party Leader Michael Collins TD called for an urgent debate the EU Migration Pact in the Dail. That request was voted down by Government.

George Floyd protests = GOOD ✅

Belfast protests = BAD ❌

There were not riots in Belfast because of ‘Nigel farage’

There were riots in Belfast because a foreigner tried to behead someone.

Irish politicians and journalists will look you in the eye and swear that it’s social media that is fueling anger and division, not stories like this, directly caused by policies they support.

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

I was a radio presenter and live on air in May 2023 when I had to break the news that Lee Rigby had been brutally murdered by this man and his accomplice in Woolwich. They used this machete to try to behead Rigby.

13 long years later, no lessons have been learned by the authorities. None at all.

[Paul Joseph Watson @PrisonPlanet]

I think what 'fanned the flames' was the African guy trying to behead someone, Zack.

[Paddy McKenna @paddymacc1]

Isn't it ironic that they're not horrified at the brutal attempt to behead a man, they're horrified that the video might be shared.
Let's be honest if it wasn't for social media yesterday, this would have been covered up

💥NEW: Jillian Michaels: “I gotta be honest: it seems to me that Trump is the ONLY one standing between US and the COMPLETE loss of free and fair elections.”

“You know, I used to think that Trump was INSANE for suggesting that the 2020 election was stolen. And now, I’m just — I’m actually not so sure.”

“Because these ANIMALS in California are not just changing election law — they’re changing what elections actually ARE!”

I'm sorry but giving people asylum is one thing. Giving them the power to move Irish citizens and taxpayers down the queue for social housing is something very different.

My Letter of the Day:

Dear Editor

SO it seems that Our Dear Leader has intimated that he would like to leave a legacy of his premiership. Surely the ruination of a once great nation in a little under two years is sufficient achievement.

They ruled Iryna’s killer is incompetent to stand trial.

The same system ruled this man was plenty competent enough to be released back into society dozens of times.

It’s past time to remove these left wing activist judges.

[Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA @StefanMolyneux]

I would feel like a total asshole if I moved to another country and immediately started taking money from taxpayers.

And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they started resenting me.

Imagine the police treated our borders with the force shown against the protesters.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman: “Everywhere and at all times, economic progress has meant far more to the poor than to the rich.”

“Wherever progress has been achieved, it has relieved the poor from back-breaking toil. It has also enabled them to enjoy the comforts and conveniences that had always been available to the rich.”

[Dr. Eoin Lenihan @EoinLenihan]

Democracy is a fragile thing.

Across the UK and Ireland, politicians are manning all the usual pumps this morning. Left wing politicians are speaking about racist rioters, 'conservatives' speaking about law and order. Others will make vague statements about people's right to live in peace. All falling back on tried and true soundbites.

But few to none will tell the obvious truth - democracy is fragile and a business for serious and judicious people unafraid to take tough decisions for a longer-term good.

Politicians (in Ireland and the UK) have not upheld their side of the democratic contract in terms of mass migration. In particular, politicians from parties of all stripes, left and (supposedly) centre and conservative (FF/G and Conservatives in the UK) have granted leave to stay to hundreds of thousands of unvetted fake asylum seekers in their respective countries and they have then rammed them into closeknit communities - without consultation with locals and without a veto for locals.

This has pushed people's backs to the wall.

Communities have, time and again ,said no to this but they have been met with deaf ears and accusations of racism.

So when things go wrong - as they do with increasing, violent, frequency - such as a fake asylum seeker trying to saw the head off of a well-liked disabled local man - communities know there's no point turning to politicians for help.

Democracy, based on common law, asks that people forego retribution with the promise of restitution by serious-minded and judicious people in the name of the state. In other words, people can give up clannish, sectarian or other collective units capable of doling out retribution because the state has promised to take on the burden of ensuring justice will be done.

The problem is that for decades deeply unserious and non-judicious people have taken up roles in politics and judiciary. Activists with dangerous ideologies regarding open borders and the forced settlement of illegals in close knit communities have taken charge and told people - like it or lump it. That is authoritarian and a direct rejection of the state's responsibility to act both judiciously and to act in a manner that makes resort to retribution and clannishness necessary.

Today, unserious politicians and their activist backers in the media and NGOs will slander, deflect, scapegoat and look to score points for the very actions that led to the riot in Belfast last night. Some 'conservatives' will speak in solemn tones to sound judicious but their words will ring hollow.

Few will admit the root of the issue, democracy in Ireland and the UK has reached a crisis point that's been two decades at least in the making. When politicians act in an authoritarian fashion, leaving the people they supposedly represent with their backs firmly against the wall, all contractual agreements, all rational actions go out the window and people revert to their natural understanding of justice - clannish retribution.

And that is the fault of the politicians.

Any politician offering anything other than a mea culpa and a commitment to radical political change that acts in support of the people today is signalling their commitment to the further destruction of democracy and the state.
