And they can't decide whether the huge crowd that showed up to riot proves their "concerns" about immigrants are widely shared or whether all the looters and rioters were apolitical opportunists that weren't connected with their movements. Which is it?
The yoots robbing runners and setting cars alight couldnt tell you left from right much less have a protest/riot based on political ideology.
The current government basically use.far right as a catch all to label opposition to their unpopular policies.
Unchecked immigration putting strain on housing and other services.....far right
Putting men in women's spaces...far right.
Teaching gender ideaology to children...far right.
Economic migrants here gaming the system to seek asylum and go on benefits long term are not popular. That's not rocket science or a extreme right wing position.
People dont want to pay crippling tax to support those who are only leaching off our welfare system.
Trying to stifle any discussion of violent crimes committed by immigrants is dangerous.
Puskas is just one example, there's plenty more. Aisling Murphys boyfriend Ryan Casey was accused of 'inciting hatred' when he questioned why they worked to support a man who made no postive contribution to Irish society despite being here a decade. Its a legitimate question.
Bandying a label about than actually discuss policy that people aren't happy about is weak political leadership. Ours is particularly bad. A right of centre political party will emerge just as it has in Holland, Sweden, Italy etc. We're no different to any other country. We just seem a little slow on the uptake.
