๐งต Asking us not to connect crime to immigration is asking us to ignore reality.
Across Europe, Algerian immigrants commit crime at a vastly disproportionate rate to other ethnic groups, and Ireland has more asylum applications from Algeria than any country in EU.
๐ซ๐ท In France, Africans commit over half of violent crimes on public transport despite being 3.2 percent of the population.

No reasonable person can look at all of this and say immigration is not relevant to a discussion of public safety.
If we want an informed conversation and policies which protect our people, we must learn from the failures of other European countries and discuss this.

Can't believe how underwhelming all the footage of America's military parade is.
250 year anniversary for the world's biggest military and they get troops trotting along out of sync, isolated tanks rolling through to complete silence, small crowd, no cool displays of precision marching or cool tech, and lame country music to cap it off. Embarrassing.
And they're saying this cost over $50 million? Real late empire vibes.
Will the next Pope be a return to tradition for the Catholic Church, or even more progressive than Francis?
A look at the most likely candidates based on current betting odds ๐งต
34% ๐ฎ๐น Pietro Parolin: Vatican Secretary of State who is being called a "continuity candidate" that would continue Francis's reforms.
He was heavily criticised by conservatives in the Vatican for creating a deal with China that allowed the CCP influence over bishop nominations.
๐ต๐ญ 23% Luis Antonio Tagle: Known as "the Asian Francis" and considered even more progressive, Tagle has argued for the church softening its attitude to homosexuals, unwed mothers, and the divorced.
Like Francis, he's also known for social justice advocacy in his home country.
2/13 Obviously the existence of a German people has been known for a long time.
In 98 AD, Tacitus mapped Germania as including the land between the Rhine in the West beyond the Vistula in the East, and from the Danube in the South up to the Baltic seas.
3/13 The contention of this modernist approach to nationalism is that even if a Germanic people pre-existed the 19th Century, people never had a sense of national identity until then.
The Holy Roman Empire is a favourite of this argument due to how divided it was politically.
