Let’s hope there are no knife wielding maniacs in the 17000. If you are looking for this article it is hidden away in the politics section of BBC website with no picture. It’s been there for 4 hours, anyone would think they didn’t want people to see it!

Two recent attacks with knives (Ireland & France) where the government have, in my opinion deflected from the actual crime and created a narrative around far right groups being the main problem? Both articles from the BBC.

I just can’t understand the modern woke agenda that wants to destroy tradition……..
The club's website explains: "As the Southern states lost the war, and due to the fact that this part of America supplied us then, as now, with most of the trends that influence our music, dress and dance, it is the Southern flag (often called the Confederate Battle flag) which is folded."
The ceremony is accompanied by the 1972 Elvis Presley hit, An American Trilogy, a song which combines the southern Confederacy's unofficial anthem, Dixie, with the northern Union's Battle Hymn of the Republic.
The website adds that the occasion "takes the form of a more traditional salute that encompasses both a flag folding ceremony and a number of shots fired in tribute.
"We dedicate the American Trilogy as a salute in memory of all those men and women lost from both sides," it says.

Maybe it could be replaced with a nice rainbow flag. Worlds gone mad.

It appears that the Dublin attacker was arrested in April for possession of a knife and went to court in May. He may have been motivated by a recent decrease in his benefits and was not politically or religiously aligned. The attack was not impulsive as he waited behind the crèche for ten minutes prior to the attack. He was given a deportation order in 2003 (don’t know why) and overturned it in 2008 with help of NGO. He was then naturalised as Irish. Oh and Connor Mcgregor is not happy about it all. All this information is available from the Irish times, Sunday times and Irish mirror. Nothing on the BBC about it since the riot story 2 days ago.

The actual article you quoted from confirmed that the guy who killed gays was in the country from the age of 6
You should know that data sets which make up "known demographics" are indeed facts and while they may be interpreted in different ways they are never a safe basis for "assumption"
If it’s any consolation to you my cilice is itching like hell! I am not the first and won’t be the last to post stuff on here without fact checking. It did remind me of a story that a colleague told me some years ago, he moved from Glenburn to inchinnan, he was in the local pub and someone asked how long he had lived in the village? He said 20 years and the local said “ oh just a newcomer then”

[a] Fair minded folk who don't jump to conclusions
Apology excepted, A lesson learned those type of social media posts could cause a riot
Apology accepted, thank you. Now if we can come to terms then so can Israel and Gaza 👍🏻

Another layer of complex context…….

No the articles didn't say that, but you did a typical misleading statement we have come to expect from the Pitchfork brigade, they both weren't new to the country one came to Ireland when he was 6 who just happens to be mentally deranged...
Two questions, who is we ? And who is the pitchfork brigade? I explained to you it was a late night post and I didn’t check the individual history of the two young men. I made an assumption based on the known demographics of immigrants to Ireland (male, single, 16-45) Ireland has seen a rise in population via immigration of around 25% since 2016, I assumed wrongly he was one of these people.

Plenty of Irish people were saying exactly that after the stabbing and this was used as a "justification" behind the riots the other night.
Are you saying that the lack of housing, which is always rolled out when required, is justification for the level of riots a few nights ago?
Also this MSM pish, maybe I should look for all my information on YouTube?
Heading out to the game so don’t have much time to look at all your points, however it’s good to discuss these issues like adults. I like many others gave up on the BBC and ITV a long time ago due to their patent bias. I think if you were really honest with yourself you may well agree. With the rise of online content comes risks and opportunities, if you are a middle of the road person like myself then you can look at both sectors and come up with your own verdict. With this in mind I think the interview below sums up very accurately the causes of the riots. I very much agree with both commentators who both give differing opinions. Sorry FS it’s from YouTube…..

Interesting view in the Irish Times.
Headline and link below...................
No link between asylum seekers and increased crime, authorities state
TG4 documentary charts the rise of the anti-immigration movement and the damaging impact of false information

They have chosen there words well, “no link between crime “ I don’t think anyone is saying there is? What is being said by many Irish residents is there is a housing crisis and yet the country continues to receive lots of immigrants (mostly single men) single men are not family units so require individual homes.
Although I don’t have the stats to back it up, there does appear to be a link between mass stabbings and immigrants. This is not just a Irish phenomena it’s happening right across Europe, alas it is very rarely reported by the MSM in the U.K. -

One of those evil sick in the head bastards came to Ireland when he was 6 yrs old
Sorry Portmahomack you’ve lost me? The articles say one was 33 years old and on the other 23 year old . I didn’t see any comment on when they arrived in Ireland. It was a 2am post so if it’s inaccurate I will retract it.

Two articles from the Guardian and BBC trying to convince us that medieval England was not a white homogenous country (despite the DNA evidence to suggest otherwise) but a multicultural society with black people not only being victims of the plague but also being victims racism! Yes it’s not 1984 it’s 2023 and this is the lies that are being taught to our children. Luckily there are still people out there that are ready to challenge these post truth charlatans (see video below)

Watched the first episode of the new two doors down series tonight. I felt it had run it’s course after watching the last series (tired, lazy puns with very little originality) well I can now say I have done a 360 degree turn. The return of Doon Mackichan has reignited the whole cast and appears to be the missing piece that was needed to return it to its original glory. Looking forward to the next episode.

Irish people had to leave their country in droves in the past fleeing poverty and even discrimination in their own country seeking a better life and were met with the same discrimination in other countries this one included, is this really any different I'm not sure it is,
This has been brewing for some time as many Immigrants are being attracted to Ireland due to it's financial success recently and I'm guessing access to the UK too eventually, not sure the Irish public were expecting this to come to their shores something they weren't used to for sure.
Your correct that it’s been brewing for some time, however recent weeks have seen two big cases come to court which has had a big impact on the psyche of Irish people ( see below) both cases have involved young males from abroad who are new to the country. Both cases involve the use of knives with the case involving the LGBT community involving a beheading. Needless to say you won’t find much content on the British MSM about the cases which is a puzzle in its self.

That’s not to say there isn’t a huge issue
The tens of thousands who arrive on these boats do not arrive with money on them to pay for Rent/Gas/Elec/Food etc - They are here to be funded by us completely free
I’ve inspected multiple hotels which house the immigrants ( These are not economic migrants ) Single men , generally 18-40 years old, fit and well
When people flee war they take their women and children with them. When they go to war they leave their families behind.
The resources they have far outstrip anything given to British people.
The council are buying new build houses throughout Yorkshire to house them.
The David Wilson / Barratt homes my son is helping build as a bricklayer have had 12 purchased by Leeds City Council this year alone
When Ukraine was invaded, the Ukrainian men went back to defend their country
Everything above is what I have witnessed or heard about
Just a few reasons why people are fed up with immigration
It is an absolute free for all and needs addressingUnfortunately if you dare point out the unbiased facts of the matter you are labelled a racist or bigot. There is a severe lack of tolerance in society now, the points you make are valid but because politics is so polarised now you have to fall into either right or left wing. Most people I have lived and worked with all my life are somewhere in the middle and can see that the current asylum system is very unfair to the tax payer and to those immigrants who go through official channels to work and study in the country.

Javier isn't right-wing. He's a libertarian! Apparently he believes in open borders! He also strikes me as unhinged! 😆
Still, he's a break from the norm. I will keep my eye on Argentina.
Is it the chainsaw that gives it away 🤣

@ALBIONSAINT reminds me of this guy:
No way , these two are far to centre right for me. I would be Javier. He has his work cut out though, 150% inflation and 60% poverty rate in Argentina. That’s the result of 40 years of socialism.

Yes, but if i wanted an answer to that question I would go to the person making the survey request, not asking a bunch of people who don't know the rationale.
My only possible motivation for asking the forum would be a desperate cry for attention and I'm not that needy.
And
It's could have. You're welcome
I don’t agree with your rationale here about forum members not having knowledge about the club. I have always found the forum a great place to get information on the club and it’s business in general. Take the Kibble partnership as an example, there is no way the club would provide the information that I have found on the threads on BAWA. I suppose asking forum members if they know would always be my first port of call before seeking further advice from the club directly. Given that I won’t be completing it makes it a moot point.
Your last point about motivation to post such questions on the forum comes across as passive/aggressive and childish in nature. I have as much right to ask/post comments as anyone else on here.

Definitely need to change the title of the thread to president Michelle Obama or president Trump.
