If Ireland was suddenly plummeted into the same situation as the countries the migrants came from I know I'd have to be dragged out by the ankles ....or be bombed out...starved out....ran out...
I'm not sure it's Europe's responsibility to clean up the USA's mess. if anything all the migrants should be shipped to the US, as the US is the cause of most of the migrant problem in the first place..
The ruling class? I'm not sure how much you know about the EU, but there is no "ruling class" here. You must be referring to the MEP's whom are all elected by the people.
They rule by taxation? That would make the civil servants that work for Inland Revenue the "ruling class" so.
RE: Ireland
Lol...I asked the very same thing Nules. We're all baffled by that description because us Irish women are paragons of virtue aren't we?
