The media class in Ireland is finding it increasingly difficult to hide their disdain for the ordinary, working Irish people as protests and rallies against the 21st Century plantations of the country ramp up.
In a moment of candour, which may be regretted later, one radio presenter for a radio show called ‘LMFM’ admitted to being “repulsed” by the sight of the national flag at the patriotic rallies, even comparing it to the Swastika.
Presenter Michael Reade of LMFM said he was “repulsed” to see the tricolour flying at the anti-plantation protests and rallies, calling it comparable to a “symbol of hate” on his Monday, 28th of November show.
The recent resistance to migrant plantations mounted by people from East Wall, Dublin along with the communities of Kill, Co. Kildare and Carlingford, Co. Louth among many others has left the media and political class reeling at the thought that some Irish would still dare to defy them.
For their part the political establishment, both government and so-called “opposition” have condemned the protests and rallies while the major media outlets continue to run interference and propaganda campaigns defending the plantations, but momentum appears to be on the side of the patriots.
