Nah I was just talking to the wife about funny names after talking about the rewriting of the Roald Dahl books and it got me thinking about an old couple up the road when I was young and she was called fanny and then thought about lads called Dick and that led to remembering there's a lad with that name and wondering how he'd fit into the modern world

There's a flesh tuxedo joke to be made there somehow.

And plenty of anti-traveller prejudice from the OP account directly beneath.

And here's the full paragraph of what she was saying:

"We are talking about accommodation. Refugees and other migrants are living in horrible accommodation. I could use worse words. We have to understand that, when talking about housing the Irish and all that oul' jazz that is coming out of people's mouths just to spread oul' propaganda, hate and lies and to divide our communities, we are not giving refugees houses; we are putting them into hotels."

Funny how the cunt behind that account chopped off the end of it.

Ahhh you.

Also what have the comments underneath have to do with the content of the video?

"We are not giving refugees houses, we are putting them in hotels". What difference does that make to the absolute smokescreen of the mythical far right (ok maybe there's about 3 of them that are real) being used to justify the governments decision to take any cunts from anywhere, refugee or not and feed them and keep them and flood the country with them.

Remember when we were talking about women and children from Ukraine and men over 60? I do, it was what we were told but now we're flooded with Middle Eastern migrants and lads from Kashmir and fuckin anywhere else you can lose a passport on the way from and then to top it all off we have this absolute fucking token illiterate senator trying to fob off legitimate concerns that we've been sold a pup by taking the typical government stance of saying we're all racists and bigots for not liking the direction the country has rather suddenly gone in.

Anyway...

Edit: also don't get started with the noble traveller stuff. I have to deal with them plenty.

From the tweet you posted:
"Senator Eileen Flynn reckons saying 'house Irish people in Ireland is spreading propaganda and hate'."

You can only draw that conclusion about what she "reckons" by truncating what she said. So yer man truncated what she said. That's what difference it makes.

I don't really follow any of this stuff but is it only recently that this is happening?
The amount of people coming into the country I mean.

No just the video, not the account who posted it or their interpretation of it.

It speaks for itself

A truncation is not an interpretation. It's a distortion. He distorted what she said and thousands of people fell for it.

Yeah a massive massive increase since the war broke out in Ukraine. Some people think it's grand, some people think it's too much too soon. The latter camp are underrepresented in the dáil and the media, other than to be vilified. I don't know what it's like where you live but here it's been a very obvious shift from Eastern Europeans to Middle Eastern lads who are doing the local foreigning and the loopholes appear to have been created whenever whichever rule was bent to allow the Ukrainian women and children and men over 60 to come here.

Fair fuckin glad I didn't adopt one. We are in some sort of virtue signal hellscape of an island now anyway

"Around 800 Ukrainian refugees will be housed in 200 modular homes by Easter, Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman has said.

The first such homes for refugees will be built in Cavan Town, Mahon in Co Cork, Thurles, Co Tipperary, Sligo and Claremorris, Co Mayo. Construction works are currently under way."

So yes that twitter account is wrong for distorting the full jist of what she was saying but still - she is wrong in that part of the quotation. We are slotting them in anywhere, hotels, schools, halls, houses, you name it.
