The triple irony of getting a Ukrainian girl to bop about in a video to a song saying, in German, "Auslander Raus" against a backdrop of what looks like Greece, but in any case certainly is neither Germany nor Ukraine  :laugh:

Ah it's fuckin retarded and there's a whole thread of lads loving it on there.

I'm hoping it's some sort of come out ye black and tans thing but I dunno

It seems a small step from "I think the local services are getting a bit stretched, accommodation-wise" to "Auslander Raus" these days.

I kept thinking of this, too...



Aye jaysus that's fuckin terrible. The problem is that without some sort of centrist approach coming very soon, the likes of this will be the closest thing that people have to representation, or at least people will see it that way whether it's true or not.

Will the "Rise of The Far Right" become a self fulfilling prophecy? Hopefully the rise of centrism comes first


On a bit of a downer today anyway, but I find things like that song quite sad, in the literal sense. Only humour I can get out of it is that it would make for a lethal drinking game of Irish trad far right bingo.

I don't even think the bingo would get me father than the second minute of it tbh. The only thing I remember is him going on about the Weans and I was out the gap and gone

Once it's in their own backyard, all those policies go down the drain.

Great stuff. Imagine if the Ireland Is Full crowd had been working creatively with asylum seekers and their genuine supporters to campaign for solutions to universal problems like housing and community services all along: they could have been giving them lifts to D4 and D6 parks since the get go, helping them set up their tents, bringing them back if they got moved on. It'd have rapidly, as here, become clear as day that most who pretend to be YIMBYs are straight up NIMBYs who know that much more sensible and sustainable solutions are required in any community expected to accommodate a sudden influx but who don't actually care as long as they personally don't have to deal with the consequences.

State of her, making on like it's out of concern for the lads

The rental situation is fuckin nuts the last couple of years and not because of all the new lads either. It's been going in a way that increases in rental prices are far ahead of increases in income. Some people's wages must be 3/4 gone just on rent

It's fucking criminal. People renting granny flats in the back arse of Kerry for 1,500 a month. Last place I rented was a 3 bedroom house in a nice estate, centre of town for 750 per month, that was in 2019, same house is going for nearly 2 grand now.
