I can believe this theory. We have a hotel in the centre of our small town. You used to be able to walk through the outside of the pub as a shortcut. The town houses 10,000 people.
The hotel shut down in covid and was used to “house the homeless”. They also shut off the short cut, and the windows are covered in curtains at all times.
The car park is now fully gated and I’ve only ever seen more expensive cars enter/leave.
It turns out it wasn’t for the homeless, but for “asylum seekers”. The local council only came out about this once the locals spotted many migrants they hadn’t seen before in the pub.
It could be to house asylum seekers, but they could be housing more inside this large pub in the centre of a small town.

I’ll be honest, part of me wants this to be true, just so I can see the shocked Pikachu face on everyone who said that it wasn’t happening.
That’s stupid, of course, though, all from my ego and a holdover from my tendency to occupy the “Cassandra role” in different circles when I was younger. This would be disastrous if they were to pull the trigger on it, especially across the pond. They might not be quite prepared.
In the US, I mean it’s still disastrous, but I live here and am growing weary of this piano hanging over our heads. I don’t have much of a social life anymore as it is. Still, why is it that shocking for a government that *despises* its own people to use something like a, “compassionate asylum seeking program” as a Trojan horse of sorts? I will be pretty devastated, but shocked is one thing that I won’t be that day.

Almost unearthly levels of bullshit.
A country country being invaded and bombed to fuck and back is strategically planting troops a thousand miles from the front lines.
Legitimately hilarious.
And fucking disgusting to assume Ireland of all countries can’t recognize the plight of a nation under forced colonisation.

And they are worldwide. Hopefully the migrants have the sense not to blindly follow bad people.
