Every country in the world has an immigration policy, one decided by its natives or one decided by foreigners. Ireland has chosen the latter. Had not the back-story not been so truly dreadful, I could have enjoyed the squeals of horror recently emanating from those conjoined temples of bourgeois liberalism, London’s Quislington and Dublin’s Sillycate Triangle. But the dreadful events in Southport and in Coolock make it impossible to mock the real villains of the piece – the smugly self-righteous of Sandymount, Sandyford and Sandycove and of Islington.
That said, the crimes that ignited the appalling violence in Ireland and England probably had less to do with “immigration” than mental illness. Moreover, the creation of a fictitious organised “far-right” conspiracy has been a useful smokescreen for the shameless liberals whose policies have irreversibly transformed the demography of these islands. Somebody tweeting an incendiary allegation about migrants does not of itself mobilise hundreds of young men to burn down buildings. Other forces are at work, and not the least being the sense of powerlessness that the poor feel as their areas are chosen for the kind of social experiments that would never be imposed on Sandymount, Sandyford and Sandycove.
