"Ireland, we are at war." That was the tweet from Conor McGregor after the conviction of Ashling Murphy's killer. McGregor has 1.7 million followers on X, formerly Twitter, very many of them young men. McGregor has been demanding that immigrants who commit crimes should be deported. If enforced in the United States, by the way, this would lead to the deportation of McGregor himself. In 2018, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in New York after being filmed throwing a trolley through a window of a bus.
