Dear friend the ARN will stand against the visit of the right winger - McDowell - and his racist policies The Irish Justice Minister, Minister McDowell, has been strongly criticised today for his policy of forcible deportation by the Anti-Racism Network as he visits South Belfast, the scene of many of Northern Ireland's most vicious racist attacks on immigrants. |

Jump To Comment: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1The ARN has taken up a very noble cause, it has set out to defend the weakest and most vulnerable in society but I was not so impressed by its decision to issue leaflets re-educating immigrants about the unacceptability of the Northern police service.
If an immigrant has escaped persecution and torture in their own country and have sought asylum hear the last thing that they would want is to be drawn into our squalid tribal politics.
****South belfast is where most rich, well off professionals live, is living proof that the rich really are morally bankrupt scum.
Why is it, nazis organise and flourish in well off suburban communities, the residents of leafy south belfast have always had it easy, compared with the working class communities of west, east and north belfast. Yet it is always the poorest of our communties who are the most tolerant and neighbourly.
You just have to look at the brutal, selfish, mummy's boys, professional rich scum hooligan followers of linfield FC,most of whom come from snobby cosmopolitan, Lisburn rd, and the village area, all of whom have cushy jobs and stable lives unaffected by peaceline rioting and sectarian violence.****

What about all the south DUBLIN d4 middle class mummy's boys Nazi fascists? Belfast doesn't have a monopoly on this.
I agree with you. The so called middle class and cosmopolitan constituency of South Belfast has always hidden the racist / sectarian foot soldiers of the DUP and UUP.
I wonder, if the N.I supporters club members who I saw rioting on Saturday at the Oval will be banned from attending a Linfield, Rangers or N.I game..that would be a good deterrent.
The IFA and their business allies love to hide behind their love of the game, while their sectarianism and racism flows easily behind closed doors...who needs the masonic lodge when you've the IFA..?
I think that its about time that the clubs who have faced sectarianism and racism from the six county association should join up with Derry City and play the people's game in a league where the wee blues mafia has no influence...will the Glens join ?

South belfast scum like former UUP party member and teacher David Hall, who was photographed rioting at Glentoran FC.
The ARN protest made most of this mornings papers including the front pages -as well as all the local major TV news channels this morning and last night.
Yet it was again with a sense of irony that I read McDowell stating that the ARN protest both threatened and intimated them.
Putting aside that some of his supporter’s attempted to pull Anti Racism placards out of Anti Racist activist’s hands, while other Anti Racist activists where man handled - there is though again that hypocrisy.
For here is a man whose guards come in the dead of the night to drag petrified families out of their beds, of a man who sends the guards to go on a 'man hunt’ for children, of a man whose very words give succour to those who set out to pipe bomb and main people, or who have smashed and beat the faces of heavily pregnant Chinese women with weaponary {in the area that he went to visit}.- of a man whose right wing brutal policies put people in very very real danger etc etc etc
And he dares to talk of intimidation and threats. Will you ever - McDowell.
I can't believe that this heinous racist is going to Belfast where his ideology has already made life hell for many. Perhaps he should be taken to meet victims of the racist violence people like him fuel with their evil policies. Sickening. And this will be yet another mortal blow to the SDLP. Christ, have they any scruples at all?
I know most people in the country hates him and would like to kick his head in but that's not a good idea. 4 Reasons:
1. He's not a facist and therefore should not be prevented from his freedoms in the way you prescribe.
2. Have you seen the inside of Mountjoy?
3. Don't let assholes like McDowell take over your life!
4. Building the anti-deportation movement is far more effective in attacking McDowell then a smack to his face.
Mc Dowell has no crompehension of reality of life outside the filth of the progressive democrats. he shouldn't be allowd to appear in public only with public hostility to his presence.
There are to many people who are nice to him a good kick into the face would sort that ss bastard mc Dowell out.
for my part I would encourage direct action against him. also flooding the filth within the PDS with email messages which I don't mean respectable ones.
