I agree, it totally is treason they are doing. But as a group they divide into some who are naive, and really do not know what they are doing, and those higher up the chain who are consciously working to a crooked international agenda. Depressing how many are just clueless about what they are...

You will definitely find a lot of legitimate criticisms like that to make for all eras of the Irish state, but look the perfect doesn't exist, in broad terms it was a good state I think. I would put some time around the Celtic tiger when it really went off the rails, approximately when the...

They actually believe all this stuff about the brain surgeons of tomorrow being the immigrants etc etc, and that Irish people are massively wealthy and need them to do the lawns and all the other daft NGO soundbites. Actually the poorest people in Ireland, for example the homeless and those...
