Tánaiste Micheál Martin has labelled the conduct of protesters at Wednesday’s demonstration at Leinster House as “fascist-like behavior”, while Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said threats are being made against politicians by people who have a history of violence and convictions.

A senior Garda officer has been appointed to lead an investigation into the protests outside the Dáil that led to 13 arrests.

The demonstration attracted around 200 participants and resulted in a number of TDs requiring Garda escort from Leinster House. Gardaí confirmed that 13 people had been charged, including two men (40s) who were brought before the court. […]

Those who took part raised various issues including immigration, COVID-19 vaccines, transgender rights, sex education in schools and proposed hate-speech laws. The protest, which at one stage included the erection of a mock gallows, drew condemnation from several politicians. …

Just like the Netherlands. Unlike that country, the political sphere is ridden with utter leftists.

How is the Netherlands not like Ireland, when the politicians are doing the exact same things?

The Netherlands seem to have some politicians that are not in unison thought with the EU and are willing to defend home agriculture against the climate terrorists. Other than that, they are not too different.

Well, unfortunately the history of Irish resistance against Nazi regime (Crown Forces:Anglo-Saxon) has a lot to do with Marxists.
Even the revolutionary hero Seamus Connoly is sometimes portrayed as a Marxist.
For comparison, imagine how the Crown Forces portrayed our Founding Fathers as rebels and traitors.
Same goes here vis a vis portrayal of the hero by prevailing wing of IRB/IRA.

Portrayed? James Connolly was a Marxist. He founded the Irish Socialist Republican Party in 1896, and also led the Irish Transport & General Workers’ Union. He participated in the 1913 lockouts with fellow Marxist James Larkin. He was even involved with NYC socialist movements.

I used to live in Ireland, and my mother was born there. I am not and will never try to sugar-coat the truth; if someone is a Marxist, then I will say it. It has nothing to do with the British government portraying them as such. If someone is trying to hide the fact that someone was/is a Marxist, that person is no conservative.

Well the Anglo-Saxon government has run National Socialism way before Adolph made it well-known concept.

Well I wasn’t personally there with Seamus Connoly so I can’t really say much about his personal beliefs.
Just saying even tho a leftie from a certain point of view, he had his reasons to sign up for Socialist Republican.
Think lesser of two evils as pertains to the resistance against the Crown.
All the books have been burned in Ireland.
So once again, I concede he might have been a shade of Marxist however it is up to debate whether in the same league as Karl, Vladimir Ulyanov, Dzugashvili& co.

Definitely on the right forum
As per my 1st amendment rights, I definitely can and will oppose redcoat tyranny anywhere in the universe.
However it is possible the issue at hand requires further discussion.
And as per Your 1st amendment rights, Your free to disagree with me as much as Ya like.

The USA is filled with Anglo-Saxons. To infer that they came to the New World to establish tyranny merely because of their identity is to agree with people like Obama.

And as for the redcoats during a certain epoch of world history, they were stuck following the orders of an insane king. Apart from that, they were a force for destroying tyrannies all around the world.

Well, Scottish, Welsh and Irish folks might have a different point of view.
Come to think of it, so might Indians, Afghanis, Zulus etc et Ectra.

Anglo-Saxon community is an important part of US population and im really not the kinda guy to start hating people just because of their heritage. However the oppression of various nations under English boot is a well-established fact, including but not limited to the original 13 colonies.

If any real tyranny ensued, then it was not due to Anglo-Saxon but Hanoverian influence. That’s what history indicates per the timeline; George III was Hanoverian, struggling against the constraints of constitutional monarchy.

And right now, Germany is the leading country in the European Union, ruling over Ireland with godless leftism.

True that.
Hanoverian influence is of as German root as Anglo-Saxon however.
Btw what about king Edward I? Wasn’t he a different dynasty?

Yes, of the House of Plantagenet, of Norman origin. Replaced by the Tudor dynasty when Henry VII succeeded Richard III.

Well, that all depends on the perspective.

Some mates of mine use it as the target practice at 15-20 yards. I do the same when around The Republic.
Same with NVA, VietCong flag. Just helps us focus on the enemy.

I do admit the government of Eire is soaked with socialism. And it is a damn shame.

Thus the demonstrators in the streets, no one is happy with the commie overlords anymore.
And once again, Seamus Connolys understanding of Liberty and Freedom for the working man and the small farmer could be compared to Thomas Jeffersons Id wager.
Its just circumstances in Eire were somewhat different to those of The 13 original colonies and it really aint like communism hasnt been tried and faced a very miserable failure in aforementioned colonies.

On another note, Eire is faced with an immigration problem similar to ours, same as Alba. And the governments of both Eire and Alba building shelters for aforesaid illegals instead of taking care of their own homeless population, including exmil personnel.
Heard aboot a former HQ of An Garda Siochana in Wexford that is currently being remodeled into a shelter for homeless illegal immigrants. All the while my friend Kathleen, former Irish Defence Forces, might be dead on the streets of Dublin at the minute.
