Out of total proportion to their numbers in the general population?
No matter how you mess with the figures it's true that black people in those countries are responsible for more crime than thier white fellow citizens.

What's up with them?

Hi barneyrob,

a couple of small points on your post:

1. In democracies people don't have to leave the country even if the democracy doesn't behave the way they want

2. Your use of the term "multi-culti" suggests that your reading matter originates in the land of auslander. Try to disguise the source of your "thinking" better the next time.

3. The imprisonment of minorities reflects institutionalised and lumpenfascist racism: government ministers egging on their speeding Gardai drivers don't get arrested, but "Romanian" "gypsies" do.

4. Better leave Cork before it's too late.

Hey Lumpenhead. Your pathetic sixties student language shows where you are coming from! Rumanians get arrested because they are thieving bastards who spend their days leeching off any state that will have them and picking pockets and stealing purses. Why is multiculturism rejected in every country that these illegals originate from? Multiculturism doesn't seem to be working too well in Nigeria, does it? Is that why so many Nigerians head for Dublin? Who invited them here?
Enforced multiculturism will destroy Ireland as is already happening in England.
What the hell are veiled up Muslim women doing wandering the streets of Tralee, for Christ's sake? Tralee of all places!
Nip it in the bud. Stop it now. Dublin doesn't have to become another Birmingham.

I remember the 1980's before we had the dreadful scourge of immigration. Dublin was a lovely city, there wasn't a black face to be seen. All the little children used to dance and sing in the streets and crime and drugs were completely unknown. We also all had jobs before the immigrants came and took them all - and they were good jobs mind, not the crap ones we have now, we were well paid artists, philosophers and sports professionals. The weather used to be nice too, it was sunny nearly every day.

Badman, I remember those days but I'm not joking! It was sunnier in Dublin then and life was more fun!
Hey you other two, who are supposed to me. We should get together, we seem to have a lot in common. Are any of you fine looking women?

It shows a person has great courage in their convictions when they hide behind a pseudo name and sprout racist idiocy.

I also remenber Dublin in the 80's. I remember the recession then and i also remember the glue sniffers. Now, although were in a different century we are entering (if not in) a recession and although the glue sniffers are gone there are other junkies wandering around.

It is not a race issue its an economic one and always has been. The working class will have the greater percentage in prison no matter what colour or creed they are. The result of systematic oppression extended over centuries of economic prosperity for the few.

All this talk of the 1980s brings me back. One thing that strikes me--we weren't flooded with asylum seekers back then. Mmm... I wonder why. If there were genuine asylum sskers around back then how come they didn't try to get into a country with high unemployment ? And how come now they're appearing out of everywhere ? Might it be that they're more interested in benefits than asylum--a true asylum seeker will be grateful for safety anywhere, even if it's a country in recession.

And remember the ones that the Gardai batonned back onto the Aeroflot flight? Those were some of the Kurds that we've just had to kill to liberate. That was while the evil dictator Hussein was in power doing the horrific gassing that we all decry now.

Still and all, at least we can say that Ireland did its bit during the Vietnamese boat-people crisis and took all of 5 families. Amazing what a civilised Christian nation full of moral rectitude can do isn't it?

"Might it be that they're more interested in benefits than asylum" - there were benefits in the 80's you moron, there weren't jobs. Maybe the possibility of getting a job is attracting immigrants, but your benefits argument is plain dumb. Who would travel half the way around the world to live on 19 euros a week in this kip.

For all those who don't get sarcasm, the point of my earlier post was that in the 80's Dublin was a horrible kip full of drug addicts and crime and that everyone who had half a chance to get out did. Seeing as there were no immigrants at the time, this is pretty strong evidence that there is no relationship between immigration and these types of social problems. Indeed it would take a fanatical ideologue to think that our current crime problem can be attributed to immigrants. Are all those gangs of drunken youths beating each other up on our streets putting on Irish accents maybe?
