Ireland's Media Minister Says 'Report Your Neighbor To The Cops, Please'

Ireland has been having… some issues lately, would be a nice way to put it. As noted a few days ago a man went on a stabbing spree in in Dublin attacking a bunch of people, including several children. The act caused pretty large scale riots in Ireland once a rumor began to spread that the stabber was an Algerian immigrant, so the Irish government has been quick to decry any statements against immigration that have sprung up from this incident as racism and hate speech. But it can be hard to track down hate speech, right? What to do? Well, you can always ask your population to spy on their friends and neighbors and report anything they say that might be 'double-plus ungood' to the authorities. That's always an option. Following last week's Dublin riots, which started after multiple young children were stabbed at school, Ireland's new Media Commission is calling on the public to report any "hate speech" they see online to the police. Comments by Irish Media Minister Catherine Martin.

That's just swell, right? We wonder if the leftist press who was so worked up about conservatives turning the world into The Handmaid's Tale will take note of Ireland devolving into an Orwellian state before our very eyes. The Party said “the truth is hate” - then the clock struck thirteen.
