We dare not have an opinion on Ireland, we are not entitled to it, we are not Irish, we have no say, we are blow-ins, remember? Not aimed at you, of courses, but the minute we open our mouths we get shut down.
However, the Irish can take the mickey out of themselves any time they like; just don't let any outsider have an opinion. Heaven help us.
I have Irish roots, an Irish passport, an Irish father, brothers and sisters. I have Irish family in this town. First cousins, uncles, aunts. I have worked and paid my taxes here for sixteen years. But I have learnt to shut the hell up because it's like farting against thunder.
No offence.
