@MrsChipd9563 Someone born and raised in Dublin is always going to be more Irish to me than someone born and raised in America. Or Italy, Switzerland, all roses who’ve won it
@moscow_prime@AnClaiomhSolais It is literally nicknamed cat stone after a cat. Proper name is Ail na Míreann. So you didn’t care about accuracy before throwing a slur?
@AnClaiomhSolais You must have ever been to Uisneach, and was too lazy to even have a google before self appointing yourself gatekeeper of Irish traditions. Stop using the Claíomh Solais name, you’re not Douglas Hyde you clown
@AnClaiomhSolais But cat stone IS a nickname, not its traditional name. They were right, and you were incredibly condescending over something they were right about. Its name as Gaeilge is Ail na Míreann. Irish folklore should be kept from condescending people just using it as an excuse for racism
@dcsandbrook@TheRestHistory Having listened to the first episode, I’m already satisfied enough. My problem would never be people bashing the IRA, it’s fair enough, but the idea that they just came out of a bubble. You gave a good rundown of how an ordinary person in 1970 might find themselves supportive
@holland_tom May I say, your Ian Paisley impression was one of your best. He really suits a histrionic tone though haha. For what it’s worth, you seem balanced so far. I hope how influential MLK Jr was in causing the Troubles gets a mention!
@jakonian Well according to Sky the Essex police didn’t report any threat to Reform. It seems he might have just been trying to avoid the embarrassment of standing next to Binface instead
@DiarmaidOCon@torcargail Ah come on, if you’re saying “this is why we don’t want immigrants” in response to one murder in the UK, you must acknowledge what you’re clearly implying. And no I don’t agree at all. Most of the violent crimes locally I see tend be white Irish offenders tbh
@NicAirtFiles Well seeing as we’ve had winners that were Roses of Switzerland, New York, Italy and lots more win it, why would this be some sort of rule breaker even if she wasn’t Irish? Or did you not give a shite about the Rose of Tralee until it gave you a great chance to be racist
@paddymacc1 The type who consider Andrew Neil, a decently rich man who has always been given plenty of media opportunities including from the government BBC, supported by elected politicians as some kind of “outsider”
@paddymacc1 Tbh I’m much more afraid of these types importing nonsense culture war style politics from the UK and US. The type who think our biggest problems are trans people or some Fauci conspiracy, and not the housing crisis, or HSE structural failings. We don’t need that yank rubbish
