I could be wrong.   :laugh:  :laugh:
I was wondering what sort of father would let his son out like that  in public (and who wouldn't try to talk a biteen of sense in to him) and to be honest I couldn't and still can't believe a man like that exists.  "There's no father in that house" sez I to myself

Loves metal, comes out with nonsense about forcing teenagers to conform to the norm. Thank fucking satan our musical heroes didn't!  :abbath:

Yeah, call in to question the parenting of the victim rather than the perpetrators, ffs that's beyond pathetic.

So you as a father would be happy to restrict your kids being themselves, seriously?

So "no son of mine is going out there in a Cradle of Filth shirt" doesn't work, your kid gets beat up by mods / ravers / reggae heads or whatever back in the day, and your outrage would be with your kid for being themselves?? So they essentially deserved a beating for not actually interfering with anyone else, but for being themselves?

Christ I had a different hair colour every week when I was 16. Not a thing my ould lad could have done about it. Not that he gave a fuck anyway.

Doubt any of those were long Pink hair? If so it'd be your father's responsibility to have a quiet word along the lines "Lovely job on the hair but as you haven't a black belt in Karate you might want to tone it down a bit"
For your own protection like.

Like if one of my lads told me he wanted to 'be himself' and wear his Celtic top and sit in amongst the Rangers fans I'd have to steer him right, doyouknowwhatimean

Hah. Have long hair and coloured every colour imaginable including pink. And the ould lad once tried to have a word which was roundly scoffed at and ignored. I got just as much abuse for having long hair as I did for having dyed hair. Which all got the same go fuck yourself response. The celtic analogy ain't comparable. That's just lunacy lol

They should check the hospitals and engineering firms to find him. Just in case he's a doctor or an engineer like all the rest of the lads

Came across this video from one of the far right lads on Twitter. Some of you may agree, some of you may not but I think his description of the media coverage is a lot of the reason that a lot of people are feeling disenfranchised at the moment. Debate is not allowed and engagement is disengaged. All day every day I'm meeting normal Joe and Jane soaps who feel exactly as this fella describes in his monologue and they're giving me the nod and the wink if government or immigration is mentioned. These are the type of people who most certainly are not on Twitter or telegram and who still watch the rte news every night so they aren't being led or anything, they can see for themselves that something is off with the pace of what's happening but they have no representation. How long before the actual far right begins to appeal to these people who are firmly in the centre is what I'm thinking. And when it happens it will be entirely due to the government's failure to engage at any level with the ordinary concerned citizen of the country rather than anything the foreign lads might or mightn't do.

And speaking of the foreign lads, I'm dealing with them all day every day and I know most of them in the town and there's not a bother on them so I'm not blaming those lads either as I get on fine with them as much as any of the Irish boys and I think of them as no different than the Irish in Oz or Canada or France or Spain looking for a new experience or a better life. Was only high fiving one of the Crimean boys and two Arab lads on the way home from work that I helped out lately and I'm not against the folks in themselves at all (and funnily enough I have met a few engineers!) but the steadfast refusal from government to engage or indeed in any way attempt to slow down the unmanageable influx is really causing a divide in this country, it really is and it's an awful shame the way it's turning out because I don't believe that the Irish are an unwelcoming nation at all but enough is enough and too much is too much, simple as.

It's a real pity the way this is turning out to be a game of extremes, free for all vs free for none when the obvious approach is to try meet halfway but no-one will.

Fuck the binary Americanisation of Irish political discourse and fuck the lot of em in the dáil as well for refusing to see what's happening. They're going to cause war with their shit.

Was helping out a Zimbabwean woman the other day who hadn't long arrived here and she's earning more than me fair play to her she was no stook at all

Is it just a case the 60000 Ukrainians that arrived here has fucked what was already a fucked housing system.

Someone told me there yesterday that there are the guts of 3 million Ukrainian refugees in Russia itself. Seems mental.
