  1. That was a very good progressive interview. A breath of fresh air after some of the hate filled rubbish I've been arguing against recently. The number of misguided fools who are falling for the lies and proganda of the far right is becoming more than concerning. These same people know nothing of their own Irish history, and when incidents from this history is brought to their attention they just continue ranting, almost as if it is a prerecorded tape incapable of listening, let alone debating, counter arguments to those of the far right neo-Nazis. The global far right epitomise much of what has happened historically in Ireland long before the term "far right" came into the narative.

    The idea of a welcoming committee in areas where these people are going to be accomodated would put the minds of local people and newcomers alike more at ease. Intergration is the way forward and a sharing of cultures represents an exciting future. An example of multi culturalism successfuly coming together would be the annual Notting Hill Carnival where many cultures, West Indian, African, English, Irish, Chinese etc all come successfully together for the carnival. The future could, and should be bright but we must get these neo-Nazis out. Having fought these right wing demagogues in England, London, Manchester, Birmingham though not a nice task an important one.

  2. Above I ended with the importance of getting the far right neo-fascists off the streets. This takes more than just counter demonstrations, imporrant as they are, it needs the involvement of the majority of local people. At the moment, using East Wall as a barometer, most local people are still not convinced by the fascist propaganda, though support for them is slowly rising. This majority should be encouraged in their initial concerns while at the same time countering these concerns like Carrie did in the radio interview. One concern is the lack of so called vetting, which, as pointed out, has already in effect been done. Then the entire pack of far right les needs exposing followed by a campaign to free the streets of these Hitlerite thugs in suits.

  3. To frame opposition to migrant centres as solely 'Far Right' responses is somewhat a misrepresentation of other clashes of values that are also in play.

    As David Goodhart proposes in "The Road to Somewhere, a fault line exists in most western societies. He suggests a division exists between the "Somewheres", those people firmly rooted a specific community, which probably makes up at least half the population, and the "Anywheres", usually urbanites who are socially liberal, well educated and have anointed themselves globalist.

    He points out that the latter are a minority of about 20% to 25% of the total population, but who in fact aspire to "over-rule" the attitudes of a majority.

  4. It's vitally important that significant distribution of Emergency and parmanent accommodation is located a cross the socio economic divide.
