Excellent engagement with constiuents today, most shocked and appalled that a direct provision centre is now operating in their area, while they themselves are shown the cold shoulder by successively incompetent governments.

This is a selection of quotes about the Scottish Presbyterian Planter Stock in Ireland who left for America in the 1700s.
I'm not quite the same as them, but that reversion to the wild like a wild pig growing tusks and thick fur is exactly what I think will happen to the soft and squishy well fed Irish people of today when we get a couple decades of hardship, and we will be getting it in this generation or the next.
"The Ulster immigrants became more Indianized than any other settler group, basing their calendar of farm work, their natural medicines and their fighting habits on what had been traditional for centuries among the natives of America."
“This rapid transformation in appearance quickly set them apart from the wigs and buckles and frilly shirts of New England. Almost immediately the frontier revitalized the hunter-warrior encoding in their bloodline. In a belt around their waist, they wore a tomahawk and a scalping knife for hunting and self-defense. Skill with a rifle and knife were essential to survival, and a good marksman had great status in his community."
"They would not go to America as Scots or Irishmen. A century of turmoil in the beautiful but tormented hills of Ulster had changed them. They were farmers and fighters, these two callings inseparable in their history and culture. But they were now a different people. Their blood and traditions had been shaped by centuries in Scotland, then both hardened and sentimentalized by Ireland. And yet neither land would ever again fully claim them. They were the unsung orphans of both."
"The Scots-Irish settlers were superb frontiersmen in early Colonial America. Their experiences over the previous centuries in the Scottish Borders and then fighting the Irish nationalists and Catholics in Northern Ireland had made them well used to danger and hardship. They were ideally suited to the work that lay ahead in the movement west."
"The clothes he brought from Ireland wore out quickly as he moved through heavy undergrowth. Much of his first year's food supply came from hunting, so animal skins replaced cloth. And being highly adaptable, he took on an Indian style of dress, hunting shirt, deerskin breeches, and moccasins. He allowed his hair to grow long. Within a year on the frontier, the transformation would be complete."

Coming up next, I'm going to highlight some of the reactions to the invasion of Ukraine among the Irish political class that I didn't get around to commenting on last week....
Richard Boyd iphone has received global attention for this rant against Jews in the Dáil. There's over 300K views on this video.
It's nothing you haven't seen before. Rich wants to know why the decision to sanction Russia was effortless yet the powers that be won't sanction Israel for genociding Muslims and stealing their land.
He looks so frustrated I think he genuinely doesn't know the answer. Nobody wants to explain it to him, but I don't think he'd like to hear the real reason anyway.
I could point him towards some good sources of knowledge but he'd just call me an antisemite.

Irish MP Richard Boyd Barrett calls out the double standards on Ukraine and Palestine
"It took five days for sanctions against Putin and his thugs but imposing sanctions for 70 years of oppression of the Palestinians would not be ‘helpful’."

Hazel Chu is running for the Seanad. She wants you to #chooseChu (actual slogan) as your next senator, except the public can't vote so I can't understand why she's out pretending to canvass us (I can).
She's gonna sort the housing crisis and build a better, more inclusive future by demanding a right to housing for all the immigrants she'd like to replace us with. What's not to like?
Chu, like a number of politicians called around to the Ukrainian ambassador last week for a photo-op with her husband.
Chu said she wanted to "discuss how the Irish public can help the Ukrainian communities". The answer was donations.
Thanks for uncovering that information in person, Hazel. Nobody could have figured it out otherwise and you didn't waste the ambassador's time at all.
Her husband then issued an official statement on Ukraine on his website, writing in the third person, which I found funnier that I should have tbh.

I can't say too much about Sinn Féin's reaction to the invasion other that what I have already posted here as I haven't been paying attention to their remarks.
All I know is they're being warned not to veer off the official narrative.
Sinn Féin's primary target area for voter growth is among your basic college-aged NPC types so if these voters start thinking Sinn Féin have an overly nuanced view on the invasion, there are several other parties they could give their no.1 to.
Sinn Féin are masters of holding two contrary views simultaneously however, a necessity of operating in two independent jurisdictions against different political opponents.
My advice to Sinn Féin though would be to start selling pride flags with additional Ukrainian flag colours or Ukrainian themed butt plugs in their online store with all proceeds donated to aid efforts for Ukrainian alphabet people in order to assuage any nerves that might be roused among the shitlibs against them.
This fanboy would definitely buy them.

The Wallace & Daly show is in the process of being cancelled for attempting to add some context to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and for questioning the plan to try to increase the civilian death count for the propaganda effort.
Apparently Daly was on the radio yesterday and Official Ireland went absolutely spare with whatever she said judging by the reaction on twatter.
Mark O'Hallaran (whoever he is) says he'll run as MEP in the next European elections in attempt to unseat Wallace.
While I don't rate Wallace or Daly much, they can be useful.
During the Syrian war, they took a holiday along with Maureen O'Sullivan and Catherine Connolly out to visit Damascus, Maaloula and Aleppo, proving that large parts of the country was in fact safer than walking around Dublin city (photos above).
Consequently Ireland didn't need to accept any more military aged Maghreb men pretending to be Syrians fleeing conflict, and that the genuine Syrians that were here could go home now and help rebuild their nation.

As for Catherine Connolly, she almost made a decent effort with these remarks in the Dáil offering some light criticism of NATO, and the actions of two American allies but then she opted to mangle it by repeating Killary Clinton's line that women are always the primary victims of war.
I mean sure, no woman is going to enjoy making funeral arrangements for their dead husbands but it's got to be a bit less final than being killed because your president blocked you from fleeing a war zone as a result of being born a man (which isn't a war crime).
I'm learning a lot watching this war. For example, I never knew it's not a war crime to record humiliating and demoralising videos of prisoners telephoning their mothers for propaganda.
Pictured above is a Ukrainian civilian who was attempting to escape his white male privilege but was caught in the act and charged with draft dodging.
Press S to spit on him, Catherine.
