I used him humorously, and to underline how I think this plan would not be out of place on Craggy Island - if such a place were to exist.<BR/><BR/>On the issue of fascism, in the past I have put my health and well-being on the line by physically opposing the likes of the BNP and C18, so I think my anti-fascist credentials are pretty sound.<BR/><BR/>On the subject of minorities: I, personally, don't view people like you as a put-upon "minority" - rather as part of a middle-class, grant-grabbing interest group out for every advantage it can get. And the subject matter of my post reinforces this.<BR/><BR/>Holy mother of crucified Christ! The vast, vast majority of PAYE workers would never earn anything like 100,000 Euro. What kind of incomes have your authentic, Irish-speaking islanders got then? And if that's the kind of money they want tax exemption on, they are hardly an impoverished "minority" are they. Can you not see how ridiculous the suggestion is?<BR/><BR/>There's an episode of Father Ted where Ted is trying to teach Dougal the difference between fantasy and reality, perhaps you should have a look at it?The Gombeen Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024662128072120489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-20440864442666155112008-10-03T19:49:00.000+01:002008-10-03T19:49:00.000+01:00Why do you have a picture of an English speaking c...Why do you have a picture of an English speaking character from an English speaking island with a story about Irish speaking islands?<BR/>Did you know btw that the plan the Údarás announced would apply to all islands, English and Irish speaking?<BR/>It's fairly typical of English language fascists like yourself to never let the facts get in the way of an attack on the Irish speaking minority in Ireland.<BR/>Your use of the photo to represent Irish speakers is a bigoted attempt to insult an entire community, so similar to the way fascists attack and stereotype minorities. You claim to oppose fascism but your attitude to Irish speakers is the same as their attitude to other minorities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
