He has got to be one of the most annoying interviewee. talking over people and zero self awareness
excellent as always
The RIC were an armed colonial police.
fantastic guys... great discussion..
Guys, you need more energy.
What a lot of shit!
Contrary to what you said. The boats do broadcast to NGO boats and navies to pick them up.
38. Lads they are not gaining power and doing nothing with it. They are radically changing social policy and our demographics along with it.
Astounding podcast 're migration. Ye appear to be adopting the open borders talking points. 20% of the population being non national is more than an abstract talking point.
34 - It's about time you got around to migration. It's the most important issue on the Right and the most significant issue for our country into the future.
26 - I wrote to Charlie Flanagan who replied that we would take Bibi if she asked. Is there any way she could get word of this to her?
24 - Wise words. The open borders fanatics caused, and continue to cause, more deaths than any other policy. Australia shows the way forward 're boat migration. EU gradually coming around to that logical policy.
Interview 10 - A thought provoking interview. I'll be reading his book.
Interview 3. Twitter should be taken seriously. If journalists/politicians and NGOs do. Conservatives/liberals should too.
10- re direct provision. It is unfortunately necessary. Those in DP for a long time are there because their claims were rejected and they are allowed to submit endless appeals at taxpayer expense. The solution. Deport illegal immigrants sooner.
09 - The fawning over monarchy, in particular the British one, in Irish Conservative circles, is so irritating.
07 - Australia shows the way re boat migrants. Migration to Australia by boat has stopped. Even Labour in Australia now accept the policy and that it works.
I feel I must defend Gaelscoils. In Wexford where I live it's just the same mix of social classes as at all the other schools. Indeed there's a constant refrain from elites now to vilify them. It's probably more "white" but that's hardly surprising given they promote Gaelic culture.
Is "Community Care"/ primary health care centres not just a return to local small hospitals that were all shut down?
