The introduction to the chapter lays out the case that blacks and other non-white individuals in cemeteries have been anecdotally observed, but that they were never formally acknowledged, hence the title "Officially absent but actually present".

None of this analysis is very robust at all. It was published with a politcal agenda in mind. You can tell by the introduction and by the shoddy work she has done to concoct a story of a diverse Britain. This isn't the first time she has done this, Roman Britain was diverse too!

This work no better than the previous work. She begins by setting the political context, talk of migrants etc. She then begins to make claims about a skeleton having "Black ancestry" without ever defining what that is. I imagine the classifications are as bad as those above.

The ancient skin pigmentation discourse is rearing it's ugly head once again. I will reiterate, you cannot confidently make accurate statements on the skin pigmentation of ancient populations. Brief thread on why that is the case:

@LNBDublin Peopleโ€™s concern over immigration is real. You canโ€™t sweep it under the rug with worthless drivel like what you have just shared. #IrelandIsFull

@Alan__Shatter The last time we had a Jew in a position of power (You) he did this. During your brief tenure, you gave citizenship to 63,000 foreign nationals. There was a clear desire by the Irish people to restrict citizenship with the 2004 ref, yet here you are just handing it out.

A report in the UK found that the housing market was not able to keep pace with the rate of immigration and the natural population growth. I have looked at the numbers for Ireland too, and we are the same. You can read the about the UK report here:

@ciarancannon All well and good for you. Take a person living in rural Monaghan who has to commute to Dublin, as many do. Your solution is to add another two hours to their daily commute by forcing them to take a bus? Extended wageslavery.

@mcveigh_saul Excl Ukies, Africans have the highest unemployment rates in Ireland. Africans are 32% of the docs listed by the Irish Medical Council in misconduct cases. Africans have the highest rates of social housing tenure in Ireland. Africans make up 3.4% of the prison pop, 2x their pop.

@marie_sherlock You people seem to think your position puts you above accountability. The idea of facing consequences for your actions clearly makes you uneasy. I find that immensely gratifying.

@eyeslasho Why do you continue to post this claim? The reality is that we cannot predict the pigmentation of ancient individuals. You can read this in papers that discuss it, or even popular books like Adam Rutherford's. See below for links

Some quotes from Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" which is featured below. Diamond likes to make vast sweeping claims without a shred of evidence to back them up. For the very smart New Guineans, the prion disease they got from cannibalism was a good trade for protein.

Tom and Rebeccaโ€™s goal, along with those like them, is to make you think that your home was never yours. That you canโ€™t complain about immigrants ruining your country because people have moved there in the past, that your identity isnโ€™t real, and that this is backed by Scienceโ„ข

You canโ€™t compare modern and ancient genomes. Using tests developed on modern populations, a WHG will appear as โ€œdark skinnedโ€ and if we perform the same tests on Neanderthals we get the same result. Neanderthals had been in Europe for 300k+ years so they certainly had light skin

One minute we're told white skin evolved to absorb vitamin D in colder climes, the next minute we're told WHG's ancestors had black skin all through the Ice-Age and manged to survive somehow. Something fishy going on.

A single family in Ireland has raked in โ‚ฌ130 million housing migrants on behalf of the government. Keeping it in the family @McenaneySeamus @EnaneyGavin ? On this island anonymity is a rare commodity. Traitors are easily found out.

In Q1 2023, non-Irish citizens, making up 12% of Ireland's 2022 population (indicated by the dashed purple line in the figure), represented nearly 38% of rent supplement recipients. This indicates an overrepresentation of more than threefold, which has been present for years.

Irish prisons only record nationality, not whether a person is foreign born. This report claims that the foreign prison population in 2023 was 15% when in 2022 it was 22% as per the IPS. Big drop. The report cited doesn't give full figures for Ireland, oddly enough.
