I agree with Cathal Malone. We need a campaign against the Dublin govetnment's proposed new rules making life harder for immigrants living in Ireland who wish to be citizens. Let's just say No to a new racist dog-whistle policy.

Thanks to Wendy Lyon for this spot. A dirty, racist, and far-right agenda is at work in Ireland and Britain. Watch out especially for political actors which zone in on immigrants being a "problem".

Thanks to Louth Forever for this spot. An interesting analysis of BBC news management done by the BBC in Britain. Similar techniques are published in both bits of Ireland promoting far-right racist narratives. Here is an excellent commentary : www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Nigel Farage still hiding - he failed to attend announcement of result of Clacton by-election, which the far-right financially corrupt racist won. Farage gave a "security" excuse for not attending the reading of the election outome, and police said "no security threat".
