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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Politics is as we need no reminder a dirty business in which to succeed it is best advised to appear to be as clean as possible to the point of utter hypocritical naivety.
Mitterand Jr, whose scandal is perhaps even more interesting simply because he has an easy to remember surname, has now it emerges volunteered his reputation to act as character witness for two men who are joined with others defending themselves against charges of an alledged gang rape of 16 year old girl on the island of Reunion. http://www.lequotidien.re/actualites/faits-divers/68900....html That court case is due to be heard at the end of this month of October. Reunion as we know is due east of Africa in the Indian Ocean and a popular destination for sex tourists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9union
«ouch»
This little story works and is working on such profound levels of mass psychology & that very rarely mentioned constant of all political equations - the bizarre ability of the electorate who almost always appear to remember nothing - to oh quite contrary neither forget nor forgive a thing" .
All of a sudden Roman Polanski doesn't have as much solidarity in France, for example.
Do not be surprised if all the conservatives who landslided the Sarkozy regime before the wee man had met Carla Bruni, married her or put on platform shoes have just very succesfully been converted to the far right for the next presidential elections.
The only solution for the left to stop this wholescale defection of voters will be to abandon culture.
an awesomely weighty thought for any contemporary French citizen playing as it is does on ultra-ironical collective self-effacement.
Let's remember how Sarkozy won his presidential election not on his career history nor even with the complete support of his own party for a moment. Sarkozy's presidential inheritance was never a taken for granted thing. Sarko wasn't the dauphin of Chirac, the role was held by the long and gaunt de Villepin. Of course deV is now up to his neck in the trillion dollar clearstream scandal and the allegations that he had Sarko's office bugged.
Nor was Sarko the most popular conservative amongst the rank and file "tory ladies" of the UMP.
But enough of the conservative French voting classes gave him (as he was then) their vote to avoid their first female president Segolene Royale and take some wind out of the far right's sails.
Let's remember - Sarkozy won overall on 85% of electorate turnout with 50.19% of votes cast. In the posh central Parisien 16čme arrondissement where he now lives he got 80.81% but out in ugliesville 20čme arrondissement Paris he only got 35.37%.
c/f The Sarkozy Effect & Proletarian Unity http://www.indymedia.ie/article/82415
He isn't what he was then - is what the current story and its setting of the stage for the future of France's elections both parliamentary and presidential comes down to.
For one he got divorced, did the rounds & Carla came along. Many of his UMP faithful blame Carla Bruni for influencing his appointment of liberals (said in Fox News tones) such as Mitterand junior.
But they can't really blame Carla Bruni for the shocking nepotism and favouritism shown Sarkozy Junior, a law student of 23 years age, (completed 2 terms) who now, as anyone who reads international press knows is being given a plum job which will not only see him responsible for squillions of real estate in Paris but will launch him on a stunning political career. Yep, Sarko Jr. the kid who was left out of the divorce settlement and took a back seat for a while has now turned up what the Parisiens call BCBG «bon chic et bon genre» ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCBG )
Ah!!!!!!!!
Now that's the thing. The wee man can do his parties introducing ex-girlfriends to ex-premiers, not being compared to Berlusconi, brought his family on billionaire Vincent Bolloré's yacht immediately after the election knowing even though it seemed "over the top" neither he nor Bolloré are up to the nexck in Clearstream ------------- Yep. Sarko brought in a new bunch of billionaires to kick old school French elitist ass.
because quite basically the French conservative political voters put him in the job............
= ............ coz he wasn't BCBG
He's only half way through his term. The French press can complain all they like about the republic being threatened, everyone has grown accustomed to pictures of Sarkozy as Napoleon the emperor. http://www.liberation.fr/politiques/0101596834-affaire-...rasse As if the 5th republic rather like the Italian republic hadn't been broken before the man got elected. How else can we explain all those big numbers in clearstream?
c/f "saving the v republic" http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75208
But what is starting now is not really important till three years time.
- - - Where are his voters going to go?
- - - - Do they go back to the far-right? - less models, less high heels, less BCBG & no mention of noncery?
- - - - Or does the "left" of France's "New Labour" move centre to capture them & in so doing go all prissy on us?
my bets are on Segolene Royale - again.
unless of course the real left of France can move its gear to deal with what is now emerging to be the post-Sarkozy set-up. In the end the migrant's son turned good didn't produce a "superSarko" presidency of change across the board and thacherite reform. He ran out of steam within weeks. But he has brought in croneyism and appalingly poor judgement. That's a recipe for far right vote success.
