It seems like people are willing to talk sense about immigration to Ireland. It is a problem however, that the new freedom of movement has caused a serious lack of information as to who is going where and for how long and to do what exactly. I suppose it will be some years before the E.U. and individual member countries can produce proprer statistics. I had been suprised by the instant ejection of the Roma from the M50 but having recently been made aware of the existence of Shanty towns around cities like Madrid and Milan, created by a combination of economic liberalism and free migration policies, I am not so sure now. I never knew shanty towns existed in western europe but there you go. The liberal idea of allowing ´total freedom´ has served as a smoke screen for an attitude which consists of allowing a certain group of people in society to live in conditions of near slavery, in some cases, actual slavery. Does this already exist in Ireland as it does in Britian? There are new problems in the field of migration and integration in addition to the old ones, but at the moment it seems that the new ones are too horrible to discuss.

Your mother is quite correct - you were a core part of the attraction ;-) You must do it for us again. Sarah, thank you very much and well done on Friday night.

Friday was very good the main reason I went was to see Naomi Klein, I consider myself wannabe capitalist but really really like her, a friend of mine commented later on about her thought process, she is really deep or profound or some such. I wonder if Leviathan will be a regular event from now on. Hello.
