Posted on Leave a comment
Ireland’s reputation as being a world renowned place for free thinking writers, authors and journalist’s seems numbered.

Egalitarianism and diversity seem to be at odds, meaning open discussion is required… something the left hates.

Maybe once whites start caring about their own ethnicity, as well as other’s, mainstream might take them seriously?
