Migration Watch closed down!

[havesomeimagination]

migration watch is a blatantly racist website with links to neo-fascist sites such as stormfront ireland - a quick glance at which showed praise of ted neville on the seoige show, describing the women he was on debating against as *************************es and sluts.

these pathetic hatemongers only want freedom of speech for themselves to spread their horrible ideas and gain enough support to oppress everyone else - at which point freedom of speech vanishes beneath a jackboot - unless you're a racist white irish male of course - then your right to free speech is absolute.

Not when it is breaking the law.

What laws were they breaking?

[Catalpa]

The purpose of the site was highlighting Immigration into Ireland in an alarmist way, bordering on Daily Mail type of hysterics and then beyond. It served no purpose accept to provide a platform to some very dubious people IMHO.

Has nothing to do with freedom of expression but more with curbing this type of nonsense. As website that asks "We also urge all true Irish patriots to keep up the fight to keep Ireland Irish. " is vile and won't be missed IMHO.

So the 'Daily Mail' should be investigated too when a candidate in an election objects to the fact that its view would be in opposition to her own?

I presume then you support the idea that newspapers as well as Blogs and Sites should be forced to reveal their Sources to the Police when people of a different political persuasion find them objectionable?

So do I.

So quick - Report me!

Which Law?

If they break the law then yes.

Hmmm. Not a good development.

Why close it down ?

Maybe the link to Stormfront Ireland - Stormfront White Nationalist Community is a good enough reason for some. I think these white supremacist morons should be allowed to show themselves up though.

Interesting first sticky on there - Gleichschaltung indeed. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichschaltung - One goal of this policy was to eliminate individualism by forcing everybody to adhere to a specific doctrine and way of thinking and to control as many aspects of life as possible

Or in the immediate context of P.ie, if you don't conform precisely to my views on immigration, employment etc., you're an anti-Irish racist, multi-cultural apologist, a mass-immigrationist. Even if you've posted nothing of the sort, indeed to the contrary.

By your friends we know you, Catalpa. http://www.politics.ie/current-affai...ml#post1360628

And for a set-up so concerned about immigration, you'd think they could spell ''integration'' properly on their home page. Morons.
