Nothing.Not sure I do either?
He has German ancestry. Er, so what ?
Absolutely nothing.

I'm not sure Ireland was ever the template.Is it "tea's oot" time for Ireland's economic miracle (and with it the most realistic template for an independent Scotland)?
It's no wonder Ireland has embraced woke posturing so much; a national level example of how it is a tool for undercutting labour and avoiding tax.

No more leprechaun economics: Ireland’s tax swindle is finally ending
For years American workers lost out while Dublin profited. A reckoning is now duewww.telegraph.co.uk
Well that's cleared that up!Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Its not down to me Jack, indeed I am one who has held up Ireland as a potential blueprint, and one somewhat more realistic than the Peoples Republic of Scotland.I'm not sure Ireland was ever the template.
It may have been used as an example of an independent small country doing well but at various times but so have so many countries from all the Scandinavian countries, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Malta, even the Seychelles! I really don't fancy Iceland other than for a visit!
As for Ireland themselves (currently 2nd highest GDP pp in the world), if I had a Euro€ for every time someone like you suggested their tea's out, well I'd probably move to Mauritius!
I'm sure you already know, but he is obviously hinting that from immigration, America has benefited to a great extent, none more so than producing a president who not that long ago had his roots in Germany. As well.as confirming a bond between them . But unlike your pretence, it has went flying over the Donalds shredded wheat heid.Not sure I do either?

Nope went flying over mine too. Possibly because its such an irrelevant non point.I'm sure you already know, but he is obviously hinting that from immigration, America has benefited to a great extent, none more so than producing a president who not that long ago had his roots in Germany.

Ireland seems to be at the forefront of immigration protests, seems like everyday they have one. I don't know what figures are coming into Ireland but it seems to get excited.
sorry I'm not having that . Your yanking our chain here surely.Nope went flying over mine too. Possibly because its such an irrelevant non point.

What's wrong mate? Working class Irish having a demo.

Whatever next eh?
Can I ask what makes them fascists?Fascists hiding behind the tricolour.
Nope it didn't occur to me. Everyone knows Trump is descended from migrants to the States like huge chunks of their population - indeed all of them bar the native americans, and actually them too if we want to be pedantic. His Scottish side gets more attention here for obvious reasons, but its common knowledge and it didn't occur to me it might be a 'point'.sorry I'm not having that . Your yanking our chain here surely.
you are not picking up on the apparent point, that a native from Germany can be just the man to " make America great again"?
the rest of the world can see the Donalds lack of political abilities and are merely giving him a taste of his own medicine, and to an extent, getting their retaliation in first.
that's how I see it anyway.
I wonder if, in your youth, you may ever have uttered a slogan such as 'Ireland for the Irish' Findlay?Fascists hiding behind the tricolour.
Paul McCartney did yonks ago did he no?I wonder if, in your youth, you may ever have uttered a slogan such as 'Ireland for the Irish' Findlay?
Jimmy try and get this straight; opposition to globalism capitalism = fascism, wishing for the obliteration of Israel = anti fascism.Looks like granny, granddad's, and youngsters to me.
But maybe the fault lines are changing. And they want to invade Poland.
Carry on. We are no in the hated EU anymore![]()
When Ireland and Scotland were at Italia 90 our population was ~50% greater than theirs. We are now ahead by 3.5%. They'll be larger before long I expect.Tis confusing eegie. I mind at Easter Road years ago singing about the Brits out of Ireland.
I'm hazarding a guess though between us and the new migrants they would welcome us.
It's crap when folk protest about no being able to get a hoose.
I mind when the socialist workers party demanded hooses for working folk.
I don't know where the "mongrel nation of the UK "came into this.Nope it didn't occur to me.

So yes, i did fail to get it, if the point was other than him having german ancestry which greencol said it wasnt and i'm not sure if youre saying it is or isn't.
Either way it bears no relation to today's situation, albeit perhaps not quite so epically as the invented 'mongrel nation' history of the UK.
It came through comparison to the idea that Trump is descended from immigrants might be a 'point'. It's our version of that mindset.I don't know where the "mongrel nation of the UK "came into this.
He's a fanny, but this is surely a different point to the last one?But I think we can all agree that the world is now treating Trump as the Fuckin idiot he is .
Their fascism.Can I ask what makes them fascists?
You don't really know do you Findlay?Their fascism.
Brits bad, global capitalism good is what I think I'm picking up.Ireland for the Irish except when we don't want Ireland for the Irish![]()
Giving Ireland to the Irish takes away the fear of giving Ireland to the Irish.Ireland for the Irish except when we don't want Ireland for the Irish![]()
If only we had united with the Merricks. Er nooooo. Maybe we were fascists thoughCripes, calls for Catholic and protestant unity in that video. Those who profit from division will be beelin
Trump is the new adolfIt's so very sad watching the emergence of the US police state. The fascists are in power in plain sight.![]()

I like the sound of Gavin Newsom. Future Democrat president I reckon.It's so very sad watching the emergence of the US police state. The fascists are in power in plain sight.![]()
Lol. Then you'd see some trouble. Though tbf he does seem to be rowing back to earth a bit since Trump's victory.I like the sound of Gavin Newsom. Future Democrat president I reckon.
It is a worry, but I think Trump's moves are likely to be popular. I daresay this is nothing compared to the carnage of the BLM era, but i suspect Americans are sick of 'mostly peaceful protests' as well as the general disintegration of blue cities.It's so very sad watching the emergence of the US police state. The fascists are in power in plain sight.![]()
This already happened during his last Presidency, and was demonstrated horribly during the Jan 6 riots. 4 years later he then got 'the democratic support' of 80 million.Somebody or other i going to depart from democracy at some point, and probably with democratic support (meaning the people not the party).
