SF slam Gov for planning playing race card

Read more about: Migration, Sinn Féin

Sinn Fein’s Aengus Ó Snodaigh today accused the Government of planning to play the “race card” in the upcoming election.

Sinn Féin’s justice spokesperson Aengus Ó Snodaigh has accused the Government of being “ruthlessly committed to exploiting, and creating, fears over immigration to Ireland for electoral benefit”.

Hmm, excuse me lads but in fairness isn’t that basically what Sinn Fein have been doing for 100 years? “Brits Out” anyone? ;-)

    It is funny they love immigration yet when it involuves Protestants moving to ulster or jews moving to Isael it is wrong.

    I’m of the strong believe that the next election will be the peak of Sinn Fein in the Republic; it will also be the last election in Ireland that won’t feature a strongly anti-immigration party that mirrors the likes of the BNP.

    I think that there is a high possibility that Sinn Fein will be the ones to fill the space being created by closed-minded people who believe that immigrants are evil, something that sadly will grab votes in the “working class” communities sinn fein like to target

    Do you understand the difference between immigration and imperialism?

    “Brits Out” was always about the latter, not the former.
