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.

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.

How many people have gone through the letters, the writing, the speeches, counted the bullet holes, examined the bills, and really really know what he would have thought and liked?
Let's organise a symposium. We'll invite all the professional Connolly experts to Farmleigh House as an act of proper remembrance in the socialist republic and ask them thusly-
¿Do you as experts, think James Connolly would have preferred to have been masked up like a Zapatista, or hooded like an Abu Ghraib torture victim?
then moving quickly on we'll ask them
¿Do you as experts, think James Connolly would have been more pissed off by the graffiti tag, or the financial centre of dublin?
Then coz we'll be building a bit of academic discussion and furore, we'll ask them-
¿Do you as experts think James Connolly would have not only enjoyed James Joyce but understood him - or not?
Till next year, your gorgous, cool little erins, you're the new class, you're not middle you're not working, you reclaimed your streets, even Ray Barry thought you'se were cool and he's difficult to please, and next year we're going to do it all over again, and you'll be on proper stream with video things and dishies. I Love yiz.
I think Conolly would have been delighted!!
- at last a tradition in which he can truly feel at home

It was a very young, middle class event wasn't it.
There was no real knowledge of the reasons why. It just seemed like a good place to hang out for the day.
I'd say most of them had their homework done for Tuesday.
I want tupence to look at thrupence and berate them for covering my statue in a hood and scrawling on my lovely memorial provided at the cost of many thousands of euros, punts, pounds and farthings complete with starry plough for I shall rest then as happy as all of them in the knowledge that I was understood, that it was all in the past, and that I at end was as relevant as a carpenter to the future of man, and belonged on the plinth, my epitaph written.
I live in fucking crumlin trust me if i was some middle class kid what the fuck would i be doing in a shit hole like crumlin.
i feel using chalk to make a grey statue was very nice a bit a colour on the grey of dublin. and the amount of smiley faces that ended up on it i think it maybe refacing more than defacing. And by now last nights rain would of washed it off.
What need you, being come to sense,
But fumble in a greasy till
And add the halfpence to the pence
And prayer to shivering prayer, until
You have dried the marrow from the bone;
For men were born to pray and save;
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave.
An absolute disgrace.
I'm sure Kieran Allen a year after the despicable comments about Thatchers children must be laughing up his sleeve.
Shame.
A bunch of scruffy, pseudo-rebellious, middle class kids defacing a statue of James Connolly, well that just says it all!
sort of a pointer, I believe.
