A neighbor, whose parents are from Ireland, has gone back many times over the years to visit family.
He told me last summer’s trip was his last. Not because he is, like me age 68, but because “Ireland is not Ireland any more”.
I asked him what he meant. “When you go into an Irish pub now, especially in the cities, it is operated by non-Irish and that quaint Irish charm is not there any more”.
Read that non-Irish as: Muslims “migrants”.
One note. My neighbor is VERY liberal and I was stunned to hear him say what he said.
I suspect that story applies to Ireland, France, England, Germany, and every other European country.
Sad.
Sorry, but I’m going to call BS on that one. I’ve been to Irish pubs all over Europe — and in Ireland. Every time I go to Europe, I seek them out. I’ve never seen a Muslim even IN one, much less working behind the counter.
