Ireland’s Walls Have Been Breached

History moves in cycles, sometimes brief ones. The following headline (bold-type in the original) which appeared in last Saturday’s The Irish Times is a marker of one such cycle.

“How social media drove the Citywest riots. Far-right agitators, retweeted by prominent international figures including billionaire Elon Musk, used social media networks to foment anger.”

No mention of the actual reason for the riots: the alleged rape of a ten-year-old Irish girl by an illegal African immigrant at Citywest, a hotel-cum-asylum centre outside Dublin, shortly after the the murder of Vadym Davydenko a Ukrainian youth fleeing the war, by another African immigrant.

Of course, to  suggest that there was a context to the riots would have been implicitly racist: how to avoid that implication?

Simple: Blame a rich white man and invoke the glorious spirit of the George Floyd riots 0f 2020!

Ireland had already tasted the glories of multiculturalism two years ago, when an Algerian illegal immigrant knifed a group of little girls emerging from an Irish language class, triggering riots of the usually brainless kind.
