Another good interview from Ben Scallan with an asylum shopper from Egypt whose asylum bid was previously rejected in England where he has been living for the past 15 years working the black market.
He casually tells Scallan what attracted him to Ireland was Justice Minister Helen McEntee's lenient asylum system which he understands typically grants bogus asylum seekers Leave To Remain.
He also appreciates the right to work while he goes through the process of failing his asylum application but being allowed to stay regardless, and the fact that he can get a bank account.
In England, he says the police are constantly taking his fingerprints for unspecified reasons but that's not the case here.
To get to Ireland he says he just took an 'easy' trip on the ferry.
The UK/Ireland common travel area is an agreement only open to British and Irish citizens but it's long been abused by foreigners in both directions and neither government has shown much desire to fix it.
Cross-checks carried out by gardaí in 2012 using British fingerprint records revealed that about two thirds of 2,000 failed asylum seekers they investigated were known to Britain's Border Agency under a different name.
About a third had given a different nationality to UK authorities and 600 had already been identified by UK agencies as asylum shoppers. A majority had already been granted UK visas.
That's ten years ago and it sounds like nothing has been done to solve the problem since.
In 2015, there were 3,276 asylum applications and the top five countries of origin for applicants were Pakistan (41.3%), Bangladesh (8.7%), Albania (6.5%), Nigeria (5.7%), India (4.4%). Others were 33.4%.
This led to urgent talks between the immigration authorities in Ireland and the UK Home Office because the majority had prior immigration history there. But those urgent talks don't seem to have lead to much.
This Egyptian asylum shopper estimates that there are a million failed asylum seekers in England who work the black market as he did, and their authorities know all about it. Sounds like more and more of them are learning about Helen McEntee's "justice system" too. Why bother deporting them when they'll just self-deport to Ireland...
The bottom line is we need a pan-European solution to the asylum question. Europe can't be expected to accept limitless asylum seekers in perpetuity who never go home. Again, the best idea I've seen is for a refugeeland to be constructed in Africa somewhere on leased land — a sort of city state operated and maintained by European people (nobody else could do it). Once asylum fraudsters learn they won't be getting into Europe, they'll stop trying and genuine asylum seekers can be catered to there until their countries are safe to return to.

>“We made it clear from the outset that where people are fleeing war and persecution that we are here to help them, and I don't think that policy should change,” said Ms McEntee.
So how about just changing the policy on those who aren't fleeing anything like the vast majority of cases for the past 25 years?
Also, according to the last Red C poll on the issue, 53% of people said that Ireland should NOT take in any more refugees.
Only 35% of people believe we should, so you can imagine what the result would be if they polled for asylum fraudsters.
It's Minister McEntee who is in the minority and she knows that as otherwise she would have campaigned on increasing immigration during the last election but none of them ever do. That subject is always off limits. 🤔

I received the attached today by email - same being a "Protect the Protest" campaign by Amnesty International Ireland, wherein they highlight their campaign for a woman "leading a protest over authorities response to the COVID-19 pandemic..."
Please Tweet, Facebook or email Amnesty to convey your anger that they would fight for the right to protest for someone in Zimbabwe, but not in Ireland. They need to be asked why they are not holding similar campaigns for the hundreds of people who were prosecuted for the EXACT SAME CRIME in this country.
Absolute hypocrisy.

Irish twatter enjoying the hollow surface level type of nationalism that they allow themselves to indulge in by gloating at the death of an English royal, get stimulated further with the bonus validation of black twitter.
This is what peak cringe looks like.
Tomorrow they'll be back to their usual routine of supporting the new colonisation of Ireland but for now: Take that, Brits. Tee-hee.

The Irish and Scottish have been granted honorary POC status — but only when they can be weaponized to attack another White ethnic group.
They will return to being "oppressive White supremacists" next week when all of the brown people colonizing Ireland and Scotland forget about the Queen.

RT @RealIrishCONS: One of the asylum seekers that RTE interviewed today has an English accent.
We're being taken for complete mugs here in Ireland.
It's time to start deportations en masse.
We're an open borders basket case.

Concerns that the conversion of Germans to Judaism is causing the dilution of Jewish identity.
One of the counter arguments a convert to Judaism is quoted as using in this report is likening the experience to trans people. She was always Jewish, just born in a German body, you see. 😂
There is a similarity to the degree that both groups could be seeking to shed their privileged oppressor class and acquire victim status unconsciously or not, though that isn't the argument she's making.
A few links below but the first two are behind paywalls and the original source opinion piece in Die Welt is in German:

Of course there could never be too many immigrants diluting European identity. To even suggest such a thing is contemptible. It's only and always enriching and a conspiracy theory to acknowledge it's even happening.

Today marks the 420th anniversary of the tragic death in Spain of the Fighting Prince of Donegal Aodh Ruadh Ó Domhnaill or Red Hugh O'Donnell.
The Hispano-Irish Association are hosting a celebration in his honour in Simancas and Valladolid where he was buried at a State funeral on the insistence of King Felipe III, in recognition of his great patriotism following his untimely demise while seeking further military aid to continue the fight against the English Crown in Ireland.

Roisín Dubh is said to have been composed within the camps of Aodh Rua Ó Domhnaill during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, traversing over four centuries to arrive at your ears today.
With expressions of Irish nationalism suppressed, allegory was used to encode patriotic messaging like this lament which on its face is a suitor's address to his darling Roisín Dubh acting as a stand-in for Ireland.
The toils and sufferings of a patriot soldier are described as the cares and feelings of an anxious lover addressing the object of his affection and concludes with a bold declaration of the calamities which would occur would she ever surrender to the embraces of his hated rival:
The Erne will flood and the hills will collapse,
The sea shall roll in red waves and throw out blood,
Every mountain glen and bog across Ireland shall quake,
On that day she succumbs, my Roisín Dubh.
I've put some words by Warren Chambers over Sinéad O'Connor's version above as I once intended to make a video out of it but never finished it.
