I work on the street right now collecting for charity, and I end up talking to people from outside Ireland all the time. There are a shit load of Polish people and people from other parts of the EU here now that the EU has expanded. It's great, every single 'foreigner' I have talked to is wayyy fuckin nicer than half the assholes I would expect to meet on the streets of Belfast. I actually love talking to the foreign people, they always give me a real lift during the day just because they are always really nice, since I've been doing the job I've talked to people from Poland, Greece, France, Germany, Italy, Pakistan, Sudan (well up to date guy!), South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Lithuania, Norway, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Mexico, Palestine, the list goes on and on. We're not meant to talk to tourists or 'foreigners', I actually got a bit of a bollocking for it earlier, but I don't give a fuck, I actually try and get them to stop just to say hello and see how they are finding Ireland. I have even had a guy from Slovakia and a guy from Norway sign up with me, they were both really sound.
Without exception, every 'foreign' person I have talked to in the streets is more willing to listen than the vast majority of people from Northern Ireland, and I'll tell you what else, the vast majority of workers from abroad actually work about twice as hard as the so-called natives ever would too, and a lot of the time they end up doing the shit jobs for shit pay that no-one else would work for. End of the day our economy is actually supported by the toil of these guys and a lot of the time they end up getting exploited by wanker businesses, they deserve every benefit they can get here. I personally think the economy and all that is a pile of shit anyway, but I don't see how anyone from Ireland can complain about foreign people living in the country, given the amount they contribute to the economy, and especially considering the number of Irish people that have emigrated over the centuries.
Final thing, the whole deportation law and all that is one of the fucking stupidest things that ever got ratified, it just shows how many uninformed people in Ireland are actually willing to listen to the shit the government tells them, fucking disgraceful.
