A Redditor’s class is 70% Indian. They can’t/don’t speak English and the staff aren’t much better.

The situation is so bad that questions are sometimes asked and answered in Hindi.

“I honestly regret having paid so much to move to Dublin and do this course”

130+ comments so far because so many people now realise that the universities have become a literal scam. (examples below)

Firstly, it's not just Indians who can't speak English and cheat the tests. The Chinese do it too. Image

Immigration and The Downfall of David McWilliams

There was a time when @davidmcw was willing to speak openly and honestly about the problems facing the nation.

Seems like a long time ago now.

These days he is just another mouthpiece for the Irish establishment, and his popularity in Ireland has waned accordingly.

You can track his decline as an independent commentator through his changing positions on immigration.

2006 – ‘In Search of The Pope’s Children’, RTE TV

“On top of this, we’re receiving in more immigrants per head than almost any other country in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of Eastern-Europeans are on the move. Our politicians seem to think that we can absorb in a limitless amount of foreigners, without any social problems. If we achieve this, we’ll be the first country ever to do it.”

It’s hard to believe that these words could have been spoken on RTE. Certainly not by one of their own. Can you imagine David Chambers (aka ‘Blindboy Boatclub’) ever being so frank about… anything controversial?

But McWilliams was right. He was exactly right – no nation can absorb a limitless amount of foreigners, not without eventually destroying itself. You don’t need to be a celebrity economist to understand that.

And 2006 was the time for a frank and honest conversation about immigration. The Crisis years even gave us an opportunity to get it under control and start again. But, of course, we Irish squandered it.

That period from 2006 into the post-crisis years was also when McWilliams’ standing in Ireland was at its peak. Did he squander his big opportunity too?

What is a Nation?

A nation is a large group of people sharing ancestry, heritage, language, and culture, inhabiting the lands of their ancestors. The people are like a family, and the land is their home.

Over time – centuries and millennia – the people are shaped by the land, and the land is shaped by the people. They have a symbiotic relationship that is unique and inseparable, like mother and child. Each is a reflection of the other.
