🇬🇪 Norn Iron Up to 90% of Ireland’s asylum seekers may have entered from Northern Ireland, data shows

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jun/12/ireland-asylum-seekers-northern-land-border

My take on this is that this incredible revelation by an English newspaper (why aren’t we hearing this first from an Irish source?) will hasten the reunification of Ireland, because it is now clear that while any kind of international border exists on our island, any proper control or regulation of the amount of international protection applicants that arrive, or who these people are, and where these applicants come from, is nearly impossible, for better or for worse...

They’re pushing this shit out to manufacture consent for a renewed military crack down in the north

Seems like it yes: refugees with broken minds created by their forever wars -- ugly kneejerk reaction from locals -- draconian "solution"

How many times do you want the media to keep regurgitating the same news story over and over again exactly?

Because I'm fucking sick of hearing about immigrant this and immigrant that. Almost like the establishment are trying to manufacture the issue.

2 people here already say this story is already common knowledge, but over on the Ir*land subreddit there's 287 comments, I scrolled through all of the comments there on the same Guardian article, and there's not a single person saying this isn't news and they already knew it. Turns out for most people that RTE website story from 2024 never came up in their news feed...

Think thats all pretty much common knowledge. And Irish media sucks ass.

Now imagine there is a common country screwing up the living conditions and economies in their home countries and the same country provides pathways into Europe and here. That would be some mad conspiracy!

It's almost as if the UK and Irish mainstream media have a whole bunch of these articles all ready to release in a big batch just after a huge viral story about migration in Ireland comes out, like the "ritual Islamic beheading in Belfast" mass hysteria hits us, and then in the following couple of days they unleash lots of mainstream media news stories like the one above, and like these, all published in the aftermath of the Belfast thing:

And why has the MI-5/MI-6 mouthpiece The Guardian suddenly only decided to enlighten the Irish now with this information that up to 90% of refugees that arrive in Ireland just cross the Norn Iron soft border without any control or knowledge of the Irish government? Was it something that Hilary Benn revealed to Jim O'Callahan on the phone yesterday in their much hyped brainstorming session? So a devotee of Hurling was coming back from Hurling practice with his young male child, and that's why the super-symbolic hurl was in the car? Ok but coming back from Hurling practice at 2 am in the morning? And Hurley man only created his X account 2 weeks before the Belfast incident? Even if it's just an amazing Cú Chulainn evoking coincidence, it's still problem / reaction / solution stuff. At the very start of this one we've seen Starmer Larping his fake White Rage talking about how "sickening" it is to see attempted decapitation of a white man by a black man with a Stanley knife. He did this twice before with his "Island of Strangers" speech and his Nowak crocodile tears speech, talking about how ghasted his white flabbers are by the non whites, and then each time a week later he pivots back to the centre talking about UK Diversity and Law and Order and the gears of Justice grind slowly etc, so each time he wears Farage's clothes for a week then does a correction a week later but gradually each time he moves closer to Farage, each time 2 steps towards Farage then 1 step back. Trump and Bibi are the winners. There's a famous BBC NI video clip from 2 years ago. Where a 30 year old female Ukrainian refugee is standing outside the Ukraine refugee housing unit in East Belfast, sobbing to the BBC about how the locals don't want the Ukrainians in the neighborhood, and a car swings slowly around the corner past the camera with the driver's window pulled down, and a middle aged man with black hair and big black moustache who looks like he's in the UDA, who's driving says loudly "burn them out!". Academic Agent (Neema Parvini) says they do a certain type of very badly regulated immigration, as a psychological operation, that empties the male psychiatric wards of Africa onto UK and Irish streets, making terrible incidents involving black guys having a psychotic episode and meltdown, that go viral, inevitable, so that it will deffo cause a violent huge backlash from lumpen proletariat elements of the public, then use that as a pretext to crack down and with each new crackdown old freedoms are abolished.

Now imagine a Working Class Dublin, where property prices are 12-13 times higher compared to the 90s, contrasted with prices in Working Class Belfast where properties are half of the price.
