I went to the phoenix park today for a run/walk/run which i do from time to time,but not nearly enough.But,in my defence i live miles away and i don't drive so it's no too accesible for me but my girlfriend lives close by and when we do go i enjoy it immensely.Anyway what struck me today and also when i thought back to the last time i went was of the amount of immigrant families that were there,and just let me say before the anger steam starts emanating from your every orifice this isn't a racist comment,far from it in fact.
I just thought that it was really brilliant and heart warming to see these people,people who have probably suffered more racial abuse and discrimination and intolerance than any person ever should(ok,i know there should be zero tolerance on that front but it's just too ingrained in the minds of some people so let's not be naive) enjoying the wonderful public amenities that we have,amenities that alot of dubliners take for granted and because of our inherent and ingrained begrudging nature never take advantge of and bemoan the fact "There's nuttin to do in this kip".
It just made me think that there are probably so many ignorant,racist xenophobes out there who know less about our local heritage and amenities than "the bleedin forriners"but who are the first to point the finger at them when things go wrong;i.e.Job losses"if those bleedin forriners weren't here there'd be loads of jobs"...Well fuck off you lazy cunt you've never worked a day in your life!
So let's just all enjoy our beautiful country and not discriminate!
