I think we need to tighten up things a bit. It makes no sense deporting someone and a month later they are back again. A case in point being them Romanian gypsies. They dont come here to work just to cause hassle.

It can be a good topic dunno

I saw it first hand the attitude towards "foreigners" when me and him went out for a night supporting a "cause". There were a considerable amount of politicians ther aso, who were being lambasted by an idiot regarding the issue of jobs etc. As we sat in their company, my fella didnt know what to do, he was afraid to open his mouth. Needless to say I got a bit very mad a lit it rip. I did it so politely she didnt know if I was insulting her or what laugh
Just goes to show you though, we have been accepted in every corner of the world, yet we do not share the same hospitality to others conversing

Yes something has to be done,Ireland is in a mess,and we have to do something urgent to stop the influx of more foreigners.I saw on this site some idiot brageing that he was a dole cheat,and could not even write English.i know familys waiting on Council house's for years,but some foreigner arrives and get's a new house no problem.Some of these's people are here only for the good dole and to cause trouble.frustrated

nitemare667: yea i should have a look into that, im also part spanish in a way also hence my last name * gomez*


Oh, there are Irish Spaniards too. They are the descendants of the sailors who's ships ran aground from the Spanish Armada as they tried to escape around the coasts of Scotland and Ireland to get home.

You'll notice they have thick latin curly head hair and lots of body hair. And to complicate it even more, Spain was once a Muslim nation like some of the northern African states.

I hope this post is NOT causing friction cos I think these things should be disgussed. I think that's one of the problems with political correctness. Everybody is wandering around resentful cos they're afraid to say what's on their mind! JMOconversing

ok im only writing this because its the truth, please no one take offense to it...


whats happening now is what happened all those years back when irish citizens travelled to america and england, for work because back then ireland had nothing, no work no money so whats happening now is history repeating itself only this time ireland has work, money, and jobs and the foreginers are making themselves comfterable here.

The ppl from EU countries have every right to be here and i work with them everyday.And genuine asylum seekers as well if they have a case. But the ppl who try to scam the country send them back for good.

I was in heatons earlier and there was a foreign security guard behind the door, i was walking around for a few mins and then decided to go upstairs to the sports shop,,,,

as i was up the stairs i looked around and there he was following me in case i had a plan to rob sumthing, i had to ask him did he mind not following me as i wasnt planning to rob the shop,

all i was looking for was a pair of goggles for swimming frustrated frustrated frustrated frustrated frustrated
