Thankfully, these groups, you know, they're all in fighting with each other. They have tried to do like electoral pacts and to plan out political strategies.

You know, some of the people are from working class communities that have been betrayed by the government and have been abandoned and they are starting, they've just fallen down the rabbit hole. And I can think of an incident. I was in the gym a couple of months back and I'm just sitting there and there were a few guys didn't know they were around chatting. Obviously we were in the gym.

And I listened to it for a minute or two and I just stood up and said, lads, everything you are saying about immigrants in Ireland now is what was said about Irish people in America in the 19th century and in England in like the 70s and the 80s.
