John McGuirk Helen O'Driscoll Everyone is framing this as ‘UK vs Ireland’ which is also wrong.

These illegals came to the UK from the EU. They have now chosen to return to the EU. End of story (as far as the UK is concerned).

A good slab of modern 'journalism' is just looking at any profession or area, in a country that is 83% white, and saying 'Shock at lack of diversity in x'. Not sure if it's more stupid or lazy.

Went back to check I heard him right. Incredibly, I did. What was funnier is he then tried to justify not knowing who the Stormont Justice Minister is by saying: 'I mean, the institutions have only been back 2 or 3 months.' Yeah, no rush, she's only been in the job since 2020.😂

Colm Prendergast Same for 30 years almost. They've passed the buck, pretended to encourage 'integration', yet let it fall on schools and sports clubs, communities and individuals to try work it out.

While well paid NGOs scream and shout that we need more, and the 'far right' less

Nobody has a clue what's going on with immigration in this country. Not the hard left. Not the so-called 'far right'. Not the protestors. Not the cops. Not the media. Not opposition politicians. Most scarily of all, not even the government. It's a complete and utter shit show.

This isn't just Britain's problem, it's ours!
How challenging can it be to secure the borders of an island nation? McEntee should reach out to Michelle O'Neill and assist Northern Ireland in tightening controls at points of entry.
I agree with John McGuirk that Ireland also

Ireland chose to cling onto the EU coat-tails during the Brexit negotiations.

Historic Southampton(@HistoricalSoton) 's Twitter Profile Photo

The site of the medieval church of St Lawrence on Southampton High Street. It dated back to the 12th century but it was pulled down in 1839. A new church was built in 1842. This church was demolished in the 1920s and replaced by a bank. The building is now the Standing Order pub.

Karl Martin Mary O’Brian Very common career pattern also at Westminster: school, uni, maybe a stretch at Harvard or with a think-tank, pol researcher, SPAD, politician, minister. Bubble world. The days when they were miners, posties, nurses, coppers on the beat well and truly over.

'Implore the Lord to increase two things in us: love and fear.
As long as you're afraid to fall; you will not sin.
You should be afraid •••••• when you are not afraid anymore!'

So here we are now...

A neighbouring country that threatens to send migrants to central Africa and ourselves with a Minister for Integration that invites migrants here with promises of housing and free stuff.

Oops.

A weeper figure from a late 14th century tomb, probably made in France. Weepers were used to represent mourning figures. Now part of the collections The Burrell Collection 📸 My own.

'They have just woken up to the fact that there's an issue. Anybody who raised this as an issue more than 12 months ago were told they were a threat to cohesion...'

Peadar Tóibín TD says the Government have just woken up to the immigration issue.

Gareth O'Callaghan 🇮🇪 'ay, there's the rub'. ~ Hamlet.
It’s so wearying, to be always batting off accusations of racism, when we just want a proper immigration system, where mobs of men aren’t plonked in the nearest empty factory grounds.
It’s a recipe for diastaster, creating ghettos .
