It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
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.

Despite three record years of coral growth, the mainstream media keeps pushing doom and gloom on the Great Barrier Reef ? a story that doesn't quite add up, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5It appears that this campaign is directed more at Student Unions than the government.
Different sorts of people obviously have different ways of campaigning, and the more moderate people from establishment backgrounds are obviously finding it difficult to man the barricades with their trotskyist or anarchist peers. However, you'd want to be careful that students don't start to see this campaign as a cynical ploy to disrupt the students unions.
The government -specially the Green Party- should be the target, not some fool from the SU.
I agree with the last point that the SU leadership should not become the target of the FEE campaign but as a Trinity student and someone who was at the protest I'm very grateful Fee are active in Trinity as I have no idea what a silent protest was supposed to achieve. I don't like the idea of portraying the SU as one group and students as another. All students are members of the SU and it is our union and we do not want to see our union attacked or look ridiculous. The student union should look on this protest as an opportunity to begin a serious movement in the college to produce informative material that can challenge the claims of the pro fees lobby and get all students and their reps involved in the fight against the reintroduction of fees and cut backs in education. Personally I was disappointed that the President shook hands with O'Keeffe, the choice of a 'silent protest' and the lack of a serious campaign by the union leadership to bring out an even bigger crowd of students to the protest but we need to move forward now and I hope the reps will discuss what were the positives and negatives from the O'Keeffe visit. The enemy is the government, not each other and I'm sure if the union leads an active and militant campaign in future they will have the full support of all students.
I don't think it's fair to say this protest was directed more against the SU than the government. I was one of the people involved in organising this and FEE did try to bring the SU in fully as a partner. But the SU opposed the protest from the start. We pressed on them the importance of having the protest and even then they would only agree to a "Silent Protest" (whatever that is) and dragged their feet on advertising the protest or mobilising students to take part. The fight against the commercialisation of education is a fight against government policy and ideally that should be lead by Student Unions, but when they act so conservatively and sheepishly, or even outrightly sabotage protests as happened in UL last Monday then students have no option but to organise and act independently. This in essence is the origin of FEE. Some of the students involved in FEE do have more "hard left" political views but many don't. And certainly this is not an organisation that seeks to proselytize or promote one or another ideological viewpoint. All it seeks to do is safeguard universality of access to education, from playschool to PhD.

Socialist reasons to re-introduce fees
1) At 18, most young people should be earning a few bob and using this money to explore their inner selves - without any burden on the tax payer. Trying to combine this period of a persons life with college is a big waste of money. Most Sweds are closer to 25 years of age than they are to 18 when they start college.
2) 99% of all students go on to use their 3rd level education for capitalist purposes.
3) Working class kids pay for rich kids to go to college.
4) If we are going to have McDonalds and all the other crap that most Irish people engage in, then we should be prepare to work the brain dead jobs that it results in ourserves - rather than importing immigrants to serve this purpose (an then patting ourselves on the back for introducing them to our turbo charged capitalist neck of the wood). Therefore I propose that young people work these jobs by day, while going on the piss, taking drugs and having sex by night. Once they want a bit more from life, they can save a few bob and further their education.
5) Having been a student, I can safely say that students do not contribute in a positive fashion to the community. Just ask any resident in the vicinity of UL.
