For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

A report in the Sunday Business Post on April 29th stated that the Starbucks chain of coffee shops intended on opening up several outlets in Ireland. I took a dictaphone out to some independent cafes in Dublin and asked people what they thought about the potential arrival of this cocoa behemoth.

If that link doesnt work it can be found on The comic book legal defence fund website, also check out too much coffee man and lowest common denominator sites for other such fun.

Shortly after Capmbell Catering got the chain, Campbell himself upheld a decision by the Grafton St. store manager to bar indefinetly Christopher Daybell.
Christopher was a close a personal friend of mine, and being barred from what was arguably still then a "traditional Dubliner's coffee house" cuased him great suffering.
In memory of Christopher Daybell, poet, writer, anarchist, pamphleteer and noted eccentric.
1939-2000.
you Sir passed your torch.
& the coffee tasted like piss the last time I was in Dublin, I'd almost prefer a starbucks coffee to that muck.
I, the Emperor Marcus Aurelius,
Have seen with my two eyes,
Know in this head on which the helmet weighs,
That there is nothing new under the sun.
As a man and a stoic I am of the universe,
But since I am Antoninus I am Rome.
According to the mask I wear I could build
A temple reflecting blood or mercy,
But blood flows and has always flowed.
I have decreed that gladiators use blunted swords,
But this new sect who have the symbol of the fish
Are dangerous to the state, so I feed them to lions.
I follow the strictest personal rules:
When a man drops a false construction in his speech
I will never correct him to his face,
But I repeat the proper phrasing afterwards.
During these endless frontier wars
As I sit in my tent at night writing
These meditations no one will read,
I am not happy. I was not called
For happiness when Antoninus adopted me,
A simple life on a farm would please me more.
But the skeins of my life were ravelled
Before my birth, and I follow them to my death.
a dicussion of the same above from a cork food site, including reply from asking if starbucks is coming to ireland from the company, where they say not yet....

Hello from Portland, Oregon
For your info, here are three web addresses that will give you some background on what I call "Bucks Abuse"
Starbucks corporate mentality lashes out at any independent entreprenuer who dares encroach upon their trademark. This is multinational corporate imperialism at its best.
example:
http://home.comcast.net/~mobyd/Sambucks/SamBucks.htm
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/134652848_trademark14.html
These two sites will give you the story of Ms Samantha Bucks who happens to run a coffee shop in Astoria, Oregon.
Bucks is her family name and her shop is commonly known in Astoria as Sam's Bucks. Two years ago Starbucks corporate lawyers came to her door and told her that she would have to change the name of her coffee shop because it was too similar to the Starbucks trade name.
then...
http://www.haidabuckscafe.com/news.htm
Earlier this year, in British Columbia, Canada, the evil empire struck again and objected to a coffee shop run by two native first nation men who called their coffee shop Haida Bucks. Haida being the name of their tribe.
Do we see a pattern here, corporate hegemony that has no room for women and native entreprenuers?
Havent they got better things to do?
As we say in Portland..." Friends don't let friends buy coffee at Starbucks"
