TIKTOK COMEDIAN GARRON Noone thanked his supporters as he made his return to TikTok this evening following an online storm stemming from a video he had posted addressing immigration in Ireland.
Noone, a popular TikTok personality, had posted a short video on the platform last week in which he replied to requests from his followers to speak on his personal views regarding Conor McGregor’s visit to the White House.
In his White House appearance, McGregor said that the government “has long since abandoned the voices of the people of Ireland”.
“Our money is being spent on overseas issues that has nothing to do with the Irish people. The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country. There are rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop, that have become a minority in one swoop,” he said.
McGregor’s presence in the White House on St Patrick’s Day was met with backlash, due to a jury recently finding him liable of the sexual assault of Dublin woman Nikita Hand.
In his short video in response, Noone said that he didn’t think McGregor was a “good person”, but said he wasn’t surprised to see that people were agreeing with what he had to say.
“There absolutely is an immigration issue in Ireland,” Noone said. He added that it didn’t mean that he believed Ireland shouldn’t take in refugees or allow people seeking “better opportunities” to take up residence in the country.
Noone made several other comments about various elements of Irish society, such as its economic standing and his belief that towns and cities are becoming more unsafe.
In the wake of his posting of the video, Noone was inundated with both criticism and support. He deactivated his online accounts as he received backlash from large numbers of people online.
Many public figures weighed in on the matter. Noone received support from TD Peadar Tóibín, Sinn Féin TDs David Cullinane and Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, as well as internet personalities, both in Ireland and abroad.
In his video marking his return this evening, Noone said that he was in no way “anti-immigration”, and thanked people that had disagreed with him “in good faith”.
“The last thing I want to do is paint people out who disagreed with what I said, or even people who disagreed that I should have said it. The last thing I want to do is paint those people in a negative light,” he said. He added that people “should be able to have conversations about these things” and it is “tremendously valuable”.
Noone said that he was taking accountability, and that a number of his points made in his initial video were “too vague” and “open to interpretation” – “it’s clear to me from the people that did, enough people did misinterpret it that it’s clear to me that I definitely could have communicated it better, and that is 100% on me, and I absolutely should be held accountable for that.
“I have a very large platform, and the things I say get out to a lot of people, and if they’re poorly communicated, people absolutely should criticise me now, and they should criticise me in the future for that.
“I’m sure some of you seen some of the far right people who were misappropriating what I was saying and trying to use it to bolster their own agenda, which was obviously absolutely horrifying to me, and the last thing that I would want.
“Though, I do think some of the assertions people were making that I was a far right poster boy, or that they were all behind me – I think that was really overblown and kind of a hysterical reaction.”
In discussions online following McGregor’s White House visit, the figures of reported crime rate in Ireland, particularly within Dublin, featured widely. While crime figures have dropped in recent years according to data from the Central Statistics Office, Noone said: “What I said is that the towns and the cities are becoming much less safe, and I believe that to be true. Some people were quoting CSO statistics and saying that crime has gone down, and many types of crime have gone down. Some types of crime have risen slightly.
“That’s not the primary thing that that I’m thinking about, though there’s a lot of anti-social behaviour being unaddressed, there’s a lot of problems with drugs. The types of drugs have changed. There’s many, many factors to why people feel things are getting much more unsafe.”
Noone spoke about several other elements of his original video he felt had been misinterpreted in the days that have followed its posting online, and concluded that he would be returning to his usual content.

Sound man. Glad to see him back.
@Greg Ward: Lucky for him that the msm is going easy on him and not giving him the usual “immigration sceptic” treatment. A few articles with the right buzzwords in it would have the npc folk frothing at the mouth and calling him a nazi in no time flat.
@Cheese Sandwich: that’s some of the most inane nonsense I have ever read: well done
@Cheese Sandwich: What the flying fluck is going on here? Are you trying to make cheese sandwiches relevant? Put some ham in it.
@Cheese Sandwich: there was no huge backlash against what he said, people agreed, people disagreed. He chose to suspend his own accounts. He was also, by the sound of his statement, horrified to have people like the Tates supporting him.
@Dermot Blaine: Exactly this. People are having their strings pulled in a major way. Any amount of disagreement will be presented as some sort of insane lefty meltdown. It sells papers, grabs eyeballs, generates clicks, and is oh so handy for certain actors to ‘prove’ every single person slightly left of the latest Grand Wizard, cannot have a conversation. There is a percentage of people who really do overreact. After that, ‘don’t believe the hype’ as Public Enemy preached decades ago…
@Cheese Sandwich: And you are one of those people who decided to take what he said to be agreeing with the anti-immigration crowd, of which you are a member. Stop taking what other people say and skewing it to your advantage
@Cheese Sandwich: Sounds like you used all the buzzwords right there. Are you American?
@POC: No, I contain real cheese.
@Ann Reddin: He doesn’t agree with open borders, no vetting and mass immigration. He said it is a problem and you far left activists and radicalists bullied him for it. Keep going! This is how the US turned on the left too. Keep going.
The man, suffering from aggrophobia, bullying for years, was hammered by the supposedly “tolerated left wing on the Internet for identifying a few discrepancies in Irish immigration law… AFTER, being asked for his opinion , the Irish Tolerant left wing created a pile on to cancel him……
Him the absolutely lovely man who made the chicken fillet roll famous across the world, he’s a good decent man , one above politics
The left preach ” be kind”, but rarely are when it comes to the crunch
@John Darker: Think what annoyed most people was he gave ammunition to the racist right, who made sure his comments went viral around the world.
@John Darker: the left is so far left it’s come around and become fascist.
@Anthony Curran: so, giving your opinion on a matter is food for the far right, something he never thought of , but was bullied off the Internet by the “tolerable” left
Get in the bin ya fcukwit, he’s no decision on how his opinion is taken up…same as yours or mine would have
@Anthony Curran: & what ammunition is that, your suggestion is keep quiet on exploding immigrants..
Because it opens the debate & anybody in agreement is far right is it Anthony
@Anthony Curran: Would that be “racist right” that you want to Deport out of Ireland and replace them with immigrants?. why is it you feel you can have such an opinion like that and others aren’t allowed to have their opinions?
@John Darker: he made the chicken fillet roll famous across the world ?
I learn something new every day on here ! Even if I only have a vague idea of what they are, I get the idea that they are the food of choice bought at petrol stations in Ireland.
@John Darker: Are you aware that not every anccount online is a real person, and not every comment sent is by the individual the profile purports to be? There is no question that there will have been some genuine reaction or overreaction, but we always have to remember how many bots and bad actors populate every single thread online.
It’s in the interests of some very powerful people to herd everyone into binary boxes. Making people who are vaguely left out to be unreasonable maniacs, is very much in their interests. Don’t believe everything you read online. Divide and conquer tactics are rampant right now. Same as it ever was, but turbo charged.
@SerotoninWars: very true. Soon it’ll be more bots and sock puppet accs. than actual real people
@Darth O’Leary: Absolutely. At this stage I think it might be a good idea to have some sort of critical thinking course that all citizens attend, if possible. The gap between what’s happening and what people think is happening is enormous. It’s already shaping our world and dictating our future in the most sinister and underhanded manner.
People are also really easily duped by a profile that sounds human or genuine, with a picture attached. How many accounts/comments have people clicked on where it’s a private profile with 0 followers? So much toxic garbage is being posted. People are aware of the bot farms and giant state sponsored misinformation centres, but sadly they are too abstract or far away for many to join the dots with.
@John Darker: he wasn’t hammered though, was he? He got a reaction from both sides and decided himself to pull his accounts. It was only when that happened it became a big story nationally. Nobody cancelled him, nobody censored him. He was horrified to have the right wingers back him, people like the Tates. It’s really a non story, just the right repeating the “evil woke intolerant leftie” mantra we seem to have imported from the US.
@Anthony Curran: the looney left 100% responsible for this mess.
And you blame the afar right.
@John Darker: Sorry, you’re just another one of those people who have decided it was “the left’s” fault. He shut his account because of extremism on both sides and he was utterly sickened and disgusted that right wing anti-immigration racists, decided to claim him as one of their own. He also clearly stated that he had no time for McGregor and said he was a bad person and he also clearly stated that he was NOT anti-immigrant, but you lot decided to close your ears for that bit. I’m going to guess you didn’t even listen to the clip.
@Billy Joe: The ‘afar right’ – not remotely political. Just fans of things in the distance that are situated to the right. Bless ‘em!
@Anthony Curran: is his opinion the problem or us it the left who get nasty when they don’t like someone’s opinion example being blm who beat up literally everyone and anyone that spoke an opinion in opposition to there own, give me a country of garron noones over the ones with the mindset of attacking when they can’t take on someone else’s opinion.
@Darran Macken: Or is it the right hijacking his comments that is the problem? I have read what he said, I’m staunchly left and didn’t see a problem with it.
@John Darker: ‘aggrophobia’?? Is that a thing now?
@John Darker: The left are clearly aggressive and oppressive. Pro foreigner and hate their own
@Pro gamer Jack: Yup. The Independent allowed a foreigner to post a disgusting opinion piece article which was very threatening and said if we don’t all go out and march pro Palestine we are complicit in their deaths. When the reality is we have our own families, our own problems, our own hardships, our own stresses and our own country. Zero interest in playing the hero in foreign wars that don’t concern us. The media giving far left bullies in this country articles and airtime is atrocious. But the more oppressive they become, the more people will turn on them like what happened in the US.
@Beachvibe: Why would the left hate their own? Do you think neo-liberalism is globalist?
@Diarmuid Hunt: Because the far left are white guilters. They hate themselves. They are more than happy to eradicate Irish culture, values and customs. Most of them would be easy for Islamists to radicalize for that reason.
@Anthony Curran: He actually didn’t give them ammunition.If anything the Blue Hair Brigade twisted his words to use as grist for their BS Mill.
Garron is a convenient tool for you cowards to poke right wing cowards in the eye, nothing more. Cowards v Cowards achieving nothing and messing up everything, with a large percentage of you scrounging of decent working folks taxes.
The man spoke what the majority of people in this country think and feel and are too scared to say. He proved that ordinary citizens cannot give a view without being labelled as radiation or far right by the same left woke brigade who will virtue signals by joining marches for Palestine to put a picture on social media and wouldn’t help a neighbour, or protest for the needs of the vulnerable living in Ireland, regardless of their nationality.
He is right about the fact that the government are not listening . We have a housing crisis of 14000 plus homeless which includes non Irish and over 30000 in unsuitable aslyum accommodation many who cannot move out due to lack of accommodation, yet over 200 aslyum seekers arrive weekly?
@Mary Kelly: this government never listened to the electorate, I correct my self they did near the date for we to decide, with give away money for utilities and like, people have the lost the the act of kindness to their neighbors and fellow man, the government have them brainwashed, so the take the money thinking the good times ahead, well that’s all over now they are in so buckle up already they are priming us.
@Phillip Smyth: immigration is ripe and rampant.
If we had enough houses built, over the last few decades, this wouldn’t be a problem. Only, for the housed and multi house owners kept voting in FFG, there would be no housing crisis. FFG are the party of house owners, multi house owners, cookoo funds and foreign investment realtors. FFG have been deflating the housing market for decades, maybe since the inception of the state as we know it. We build too little, too expensively and too infrequently. Except when it comes to over inflated necessary public works where a named few get richer.
You can’t blame immigrants for everything.
@Mary Kelly: a resident of ireland, living here all his life. Lives in a town now facing the effects of the decisions of others. Witnessing the impact to all involved. Yet for some reason, once his opinion is voiced for all the see, he’s cast as some sort of scapegoat. He gave valid points on the detrimental effect to his local community while also highlighting the plight of people thrown into the situation and who are incorrectly viewed as the cause of all that’s wrong. The points he made are factually correct. Unfortunately for him, not every community has been subject to what he has witnessed.
@Meh Meh: my point is that the infrastructure and services are not adequate for anyone be they aslyum seekers arriving, immigrant or born Irish. Not only housing but health and education. O’Gorman invited the world here without these available for who were here, never mind anyone else!! He promised own door accommodation, and now aslyum seekers are in tents, hotels, disused offices!! There is a cohort of children being reared in this and Irish society will have to deal with the aftermath of this in years to come.
@Mary Kelly: Moznia 2.0
@Phillip Smyth: don’t forget he is delicious :)
@Mary Kelly: when did O’Gorman invite ‘the world’ here and promise them own door accommodation?
@JoeJoe Kilbride: Have you seen our streets? Also Ashling Murphy was killed by an unvetted migrant on disability benefit unwarranted with a criminal record in his own country. You voted for this. I would have her back in a heartbeat over the like of you who voted for this to happen.
Garron Noone for President.
@Meh Meh: What does he do ?
@Jp Cleary: He has challenged the other ‘candidate’ to three rounds in the ring. Whoever wins gets the nomination.
@Jp Cleary: He speaks the truth!
@Trish: Tabloid headline tomorrow: “Trish claims No one speaks the truth”
@Jp Cleary: Reviews of fizzy sweets.
@Jp Cleary: nothing only talks rubbish
@Larry Betts: he’ll win if he falls on them.
@Luas Vuitton – Penneys Drag Queen: I’ve seen a considerable amount of distasteful comments from you on the app. My view is, you’re an attention seeker and a bully which is very sad as it possibly stems from childhood trauma. Let’s hope you receive the right support.
@Luas Vuitton – Penneys Drag Queen: You’re a disgusting person. Pushing for LGBT tolerance and acceptance when you are a bully yourself?
He said nothing wrong in his first video.
@Unridden Ana: OK mate
@Unridden Ana: a well played publicly stunt. “I am no fan of mcgregor but………. “. Thousand of them comments all over the socials. Gareth noome, isn’t he the lad that makes tea
@P. V. Aglue: He exposed far left bullies and oppressors for what they are. You’re just like those Just Stop Oil crowd. And you don’t care about Irish problems or our problems yet you expect everyone to bow to you. You won’t be a hero on your own, you need to put guns to our heads first
In our new tolerant liberal progressive Ireland there can be no room for incorrect thought.
@Gerry Kelly: Look at you, bemoaning the loss of the old, intolerant, illiberal, regressive Ireland like a big champ!
@Jacintha Dumbrell: You’re a radical leftist bully. Keep going Jacinta. Keep up the activism and oppression. This is how the US turned around.
@Jacintha Dumbrell: old regressive ireland? People are being silenced In 2025 for an opinion in old ireland an opinion was allowed, your look on things is backwards.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion…but look around…when we Can’t House our own…where do incoming Immigrants go? It’s simply Not Viable to have an open border in Ireland.
Follow him, he’s delicious
So he wasn’t cancelled, he left social media and then returned 2 days later. The victim complex the right have is both sad and Hillarous. Garron isn’t right wing as far as I can see.
@FoxyBoiiYT: how can you tell when you have no idea that the right wing is?
@FoxyBoiiYT: “Garron isn’t right wing”.. That’s precisely why he’s been given a free pass here. If people like you, saw him destroyed in the media as a “far right racist”, it might get you to question if the other people that they throw labels are also “far right racists”. It might break your conditioning. You probably won’t understand what I’m talking about here, but that’s okay.
@Cheese Sandwich: the irony of you talking about conditioning!
@FoxyBoiiYT: In other words, we will let you away with it this time Garron, but make no mistake the next time you have opinions like that you will be dealt with harsh and fast. Hope Garron learned his lesson, in the the far left are a dangerous group and you need to be careful what you say around them. They will mobilise quickly and appear to have a lot of funding from NGOs. I think he’s learned his lesson based on the ferocity of the reaction from the left. Never again by the sounds of it. Career nearly up in smoke.
@FoxyBoiiYT: the only wing for garron is bbq wing.
@Adam H2022: More dangerous than your Nazis. The people you support forced pregnant woman onto planes or boats rather than end an unwanted pregnancy. And desperately want to tell everyone that they can’t change gender. But that’s not controlling us it? Look in a mirror ya facist troll
@Adam H2022: Go back to the Florida swamps.
@FoxyBoiiYT: Garron spoke the truth and the far left drove him offline. Oppressors.
@FoxyBoiiYT: Funny thing is Ashling Murphy had to die cause of what people like you voted and now you are saying Garron was wrong. You want people to be afraid of you. Keep going oppressor. That’s what did it for the US.
hopefully you can give our dissolutioned young Irish some leadership on how to navigate the corrupt fffg traitors who are prioritising non Irish over the locals and not to emigrate but to organise and challenge the system , make Ireland for Irish again
Welcome back.
He spoke the truth. But the looney left fascists don’t like to hear the truth.
He’s a good honest man and hopefully he will continue to speak out about this wanton destruction of this country.
While I don’t agree with what Garron said, I certainly don’t agree with the pile on that ensued. Hopefully Garron has learned something from all this, that these fascists and racists will use any kind of anti immigration comment for their own means.
@Anthony Curran: Garron outta dat!
@Anthony Curran: The left yes ,that is exactly what they did !
@Larry Betts: too easy.
@Luas Vuitton – Penneys Drag Queen: too hard
@Anthony Curran: and the left movement will hammer him if he deviates from your perception
@Larry Betts: Oooh matron
@John Darker: Actually, Sinn Féin defended him. But carry on spoofing John!
@Anthony Curran: Wrong. We now see the fascist lefties being exposed for what they are
@Larry Betts: Saucy. Wha a garryon.
@Billy Joe: “fascist lefties”? Methinks you are using words you do not understand.
@Anthony Curran: what pile on? As far as I can see he ducked after his rant then his support jumped up and down and then he jumped back in , is the queen or something? it’s like he’s untouchable, he should stick to his jokes obviously out of his depth when it comes to grown up stuff
@Anthony Curran: He exposed the far left oppressors for what they are. The Independent also posted an article from a far left foreigner that was threatening and trying to bully Irish people to be a hero for foreign wars when we have our own struggles that the left don’t care about
@Anthony Curran: SF and PBP are inciting far left bullies and oppressors so that’s rich
Storm in a tea cup. No normal folks care. Seems like a nice lad. Stick to the comedy though or you’ll have people like the Tates and Katie Hopkins clinging to you. Worse you may even get invited to the white house.
@eoin fitzpatrick: And poor old Harris wasn’t invited and he is seething with rage.
@eoin fitzpatrick: What he said was fact. He exposed the far left as bullies cause you drove him offline
He actually spoke the truth of what the majority in this country believe. Fair play to him.
Gentlemen.
Glad to see big lad back bringing big smiles to all .
If anyone opens their mouths in this country about anything contraversal you will have people queuing up to give their version of it and that can very much depend on peoples thinking on racism ,crime ,drugs If there was fair play for everyone we would have no such thing as racism but its the anti racist promoters who wants to keep the racist fire lit Lets ingnore them instead of giving a few of these people who protest celebrity status
Can’t stand the guy but but I believe in free speech. The virtue signalling woke mob will do anything to ruin someone as their spiteful little self hating losers with no purpose. I can even bet the majority of the journal wanted to ruin his career.
@Ethan: ah cmon now he’s delicious
The (far) Left are just as hateful and full of rage as the (far) Right if you don’t go along with their views it would seem…both a scourge on societies across the planet…
They simply shouldn’t have a platform to spread their BS!!
Welcome back Garron.
The social Democrats are the greatest threat to our civilized society.
@Trevor Beacom: The left in general has Ireland where it is. People are gonna find out exactly what WOKE means in April and latwr this year. Trump tariffs not gonna be pretty for Ireland. We made our bed, now we must lie in it. No amount of drag queen’s are going to help ypu pay your 35 year mortgage. Things are about to get spicy.
He’s a no one,always has been a no one. He comes from a family of no ones. Total spacers
@Larry Betts: haha brilliant
@Larry Betts: you love to see that west of Ireland spirit.
This is news worthy? What!?
@Jeff Schven: I never heard of him, until it was reported he deleted his social media yesterday. It feels a bit of a publicity stunt to attract followers. I feel sad that No news media reported on it when I deleted my twitter account.i’m an Ex X user.
@Emily Dalton: Thanks for the nugget Emily.
Hopefully this could be some kind of turning point away from the suffocating McCarthyism of the ‘Left’ in this country and people can have sensible discussions about issues without just cancelling people they don’t agree with
@Mark Eightfourone: Right on. My wife’s uncle, Emiratis Joel Dorius got life ruined by Mccarthyism in Brown’s University.
Everyone should be allowed to have their opinion. Misatributed to Voltaire but, and I paraphrase, while you may disapprove of what someone says, you should defend to the death their right to say it.
@AnthonyK: Not in this country under radical left activists and media. I say let them oppress. That’s what happened to make the US turn against them.
Let that be a lesson to anyone who says what they think
@MN: Stand up to the far left oppressors.
Hardly newsworthy. Guy who makes money off social media gives ill informed opinion, people give him shit back and he throws toys out of pram and turns off his accounts. Then starts a campaign where he’s the victim. Lol. He has new followers now anyway like Andrew Tate and the like. Good luck to him.
@Tony: Newsworthy enough for people like yourself to read about it.
@Tony: He revealed you the far left pro foreigners anti Irish to be the oppressive bullies that we always knew you were.
Oh he loves the drama!!
@Martin O Connell: The far left love it the most, they always cause it!
So-called educated people should have read what he actually said rather than create a warped version of same for their own agenda.Welcome.back,Garron,and never mind those uneducated posing as “educated” !!!
One of the ironically funny sidelines to all of this ‘drama’ was the racist, homophobic, misogynistic, anti-immigrant far-right suddenly pretending they were all concerned about mental health, LMAO!
@Jacintha Dumbrell: Says the far left like you who bullied Garron off the internet for saying facts
Two thirds of the electorate in opinion poll after opinion poll register concern at the overall level of immigration in recent years, and in particular the wholesale abuse of the international protection system. Even the Minister for Justice has gone on the record as conceding that there are “far too many asylum-seekers”.
The amount of immigration isn’t some sort of fact beyond our control like the weather. It is a matter we have a right to decide. The huge increase on IP applications after 2020 was not caused by some international factor beyond our control. It was caused by pull factors created by bad political misjudgments at home.
Document destruction and other strategies to designed to frustrate the asylum process happen because of policies which reward such strategies.
Ah a grown man finally grew some
@T – TED Teddy: and this grown man hides his real name, good night.
Hopefully now that the left wing media has been faced down and their attempt to suppress discussion of immigration has failed we can have an honest debate on the level and type of immigration we the Irish electorate wants.
Immigration levels and asylum abuses are matters which opinion poll after opinion poll show are issues that concern a large majority of the electorate. Suppression of reasoned debate, and ignoring the concerns of a majority of the electorate are incredibly dangerous things to do in a democracy and are only likely to give oxygen to people like McGregor.
The regulation of the level and type of immigration (in the sense of those with skills that we need and who won’t exacerbate the shortage in accommodation and certain vital services isn’t ‘racism’) It is common sense.
Should stick to comedy and singing
@John O Reilly: he did stick to comedy . Our government is a joke . Garron is very funny and seems a decent guy . He handled this well . Laid low for a few days and let the pc hyenas move on .
@The Rossie: he also walked away because people like the Tates began supporting him
@Dermot Blaine: that didn’t help but it is beyond Noone’s control who supports him . It’s a Chinese whispers effect . People heard he got support from Tate or that he thought Mcgregor raised some important issues . This is then interpreted by some that Noone is right behind McGregor and his opinions , or that he a fan of the Tates .
@Dermot Blaine: The far left like you are oppressive bullies
Was he on dancing with the stars? dressed as a cowboy?
@Phillip Smyth: No,Phil. Not a cowboy. Spurs,still couldn’t score.
So, the funny guy tried the serious stuff and couldn’t digest it
@N Sweeney: He got bullied by the “tolerant” far left
Welcome back Garron.
Garron showed just how oppressive and aggressive the far left are.
Lad need to steer clear of the 3BucksLeft gobdaw Kelly, that lad is sketchy as. And he’ll end up dragging Garron down with his bull….
@Sea Point: McSavage just went full Bull too.
Gerr off!
Who cares
He started the vid explaining he’d need about 3 hours to give context, then he spaffs Irish First without context. NOT DELICIOUS – another Me First hiding in the long grass. Responsible humane debate, not NIMBY guy behind goof reels. Spend 1 day in these poor people’s shoes. Then work out an economically sustainable refugee model. Again more of the danger from social media misinformation.
@ProtectKyiv: The far left proved they are oppressive, aggressive and need to be stopped
@Beachvibe: Why is it always Far Left with you people. Fair Left would be more accurate, but actually it’s just centre left
@ProtectKyiv: “fair left”? I scoff. You are a bunch of white guilters who are happy to see your own Irish struggling and miserable because they come last in your pro foreigner stance. Are you fair to Irish people? No. Pointing guns to our heads to try force us to play your heroic game, threatening us and oppressing us for speaking about how you ruined this country and imposed misery on us is not “fair”. You refuse to be a hero on your own, you want to drag all of us down with you. That’s called being a radicalist. What you did to Garron was just another show of that. None of you care about Irish matters so get lost.
Awh. Is baby’s strop over now. Shut down his own pages and then crying about censorship. Lol.
@Tony: How about we just kick you out of the country? You can go live with your buddies Hamas.
