As someone who is a quarter Irish myself (indeed the city was two-thirds Irish Catholic for most of my youth) I find it quite comical to entertain the idea that the Irish came to to Britain in the 19th century and 'integrated' because they were white Christians. Oh, and the idea that they weren't criminals as well.... Do some ****ing research, The Irish, from the canals onwards, built most of the Victorian infrastructure: they were the Windrush x 1m, but unlike the vast majority of West Indians, they brought crime, disease, grinding poverty, and violence with them (and a form of anti-establishment/monarchy catholicism that terrified even the inherent Catholics, let alone the CofE majority of the country). I'm not castigating my grandparents at all - they moved because they didn't want to starve to death, and indeed they had planned to go eventually to the US but never quite made it. But it's a surreal history that looks at the Irish diaspora and claims that they integrated everywhere successfully because they were white Christians.
Nope, no arguments at all about that summary. Accidentally got to watch it all in bed in that I'd been watching some mini-series on Apple about Benjamin Franklin, switched to CNN for five minutes before I went to sleep and.... there was Joe stammering about "hammering Medicare". It somehow got worse. Even though I was knackered I had to watch it all then - like a ****ing slow-motion train wreck. Trump was trump, lying through his teeth, but the format he despises actually did him a favour - had he been allowed to shout over Biden we'd have been saying that was all it was and why Biden was utterly confused and stammering. The fact Biden was allowed to sink in his own morass of dementia was there to see. As soon as it finished John King on CNN just ripped Biden to utter shreds in a manner of Roy Keane or Gary Neville laying into United when they get beaten 5-0 at home (remember - the Dems called this debate. It was a home defeat). I think we may have seen Scott Jennings wiping the jizz off his crotch. It was that bad. And what made it all so much worse was knowing that Trump did nothing - he just had to stand there and look even slightly sentient, because the old feller 8ft away certainly wasn't. No, there's no polishing this turd and it leaves two things for certain: 1) Biden won't be standing in November 2) The Democrats have now lost the election whoever they stand up now, be it Harris, Newsome or Buttigieg. It will look like it is - a total panic measure. Winter is coming.
Everyone knew Biden was mentally gone in 2020 & he would be a massive disaster but still the morons cheered him on . Big bag of I told you so but all you cared was not Orange man.
It’s disastrous the Dems allowed it to get this far . They’ve been arrogant that Biden, any Biden, would be more acceptable than Trump . it’s not what you say , it’s how you say it . And what Biden delivered was a bumbling old man who had wandered out of his care home. The dem leaders should be ashamed. They MAY be able to pull this back if they got a charismatic politician in who can deliver a speech / debate (not Harris ffs) in August I think it’s too late .Damage has been done. Young working class voters are not voting for Biden . They’re not voting for Trump but he doesn’t need them .
Yeah, but the Irish are great craic though. When they’re not shoving a bomb up your arse, they’re hugging you and plying you with drink.
The Oirish are a bunch of malingering spongeing ****stains on the mattress of life. One potato.......................two potato........................sachet of Smash......................to be sure to be sure...........................diddly dee.
