you clearly haven't as many Irish people on Facebook as I do. This was liked by a lot of people - though I find it hard to believe that thick **** McClean was capable of putting so many words together
Wonderful words from James McClean.
'Writing this with a heavy heart. Bad week just getting worse. Woke to the passing of Martin just now.
'I'm not going to shy away in expressing either how I feel - not only was he a hero of mine, someone I looked up to, a man that has done so much for Irish people and Irish peoples' freedom right to the very the end, he was also a good friend and someone I had the pleasure of having a good relationship with. 'A man I met so many times, had the privilege to share many a great conversation with, a man that always text me before games wishing me luck, a man that through the well documented tough times off the field always let me know how brave I was standing by my beliefs, that I never was alone because i had his support and backing always.
'You will be sorely missed Martin. A great leader, a great hero and above all a great man... thinking on all your loved ones.. beannacht agus buíochas a ghabháil leat mo chara.'
I see. What about when she dies? I mean after the wailing and gnashing of teeth which will accompany her sad passing - and that son of hers who is considerably less popular gets to finally have a go? (And I don't for a moment believe that he will not take it up as some hope). Will you love him as much?
Unfortunately, he's been around long enough for us to form an opinion on the fellow separate to his status as heir. Not that that's insurmountable, of course. Edward VII was widely disliked, but turned out to be a half-decent King.
But the problem with Charles is that he's bright enough to have views on things, but not bright enough to have good ones or at the very least to keep the bloody things to himself. I will honour him as my liege Lord and Sovereign, of course, but will separate that from his person.
I believe that the suspected constitutional issues have been overcome and that she will indeed be queen.
I have no idea why you would wish to be rude about someone who has done nothing to you, about whom you know nothing, and who has no opportunity to defend herself against. It's mean-spiritedness and cowardice. #irishnationalsports
It's an atavistic business, monarchy, sw. It's about your connection to the place and its institutions and traditions - all of which (and more) is embodied in the monarch.
And, at the end of the day, it's still better than having some Hobbit cûnt as Head of State.
Attachment 537
It's a question of history, of stability, a matter of decency, honour and loyalty, about something bigger than oneself.

But it doesn't matter who they are, sw. It's what they are that counts. God forbid, but you could discover that you are by rights next in line to the throne and the fact that, meaning no offence, you're a ghastly bog-trotter with no more idea of how to behave than a retarded Jack Russell would make no difference to the fact that I would respect you as King. That's how it works.
