Fúck my old boots! j is on Twitter complaining that this doesn’t feel like his

country anymore. This is pretty fúcking rich from a man who was always at pains to deny any association with this country whatsoever and - last time I checked - was ludicrously claiming to be Irish. :hehe:

I would say this to him, but he’s conversing with someone we both follow and I’ve no desire to rudely butt in.

Is he complaining that a fellow can no longer put his hand on a journalist's knee 15 years ago without losing his job?

:hehe: He's always worn his hatred of this country like a badge of honour; but now that hatred has increased?

WHY. LIVE. HERE?

No. He’s banging on about EU nurses leaving and calling this a ‘backwards, narrow, hateful little island’. :hehe:

Despite his assurances of 18 months ago, he’s still not planning to leave, though, I notice. :hehe:

Ironically, work (ie the fact that - unlike most of the EU - it’s a good place to run a business, etc) seems to be one reason. :hehe:

Of course, if he had his economic way, that would no longer be the case, but I long since stopped looking for intellectual consistency in his arguments.

Get back to Ireland then? Or is he waiting for the Irish to pay off their EU-imposed austerity taxes?

I suspect that j believes Ireland to be a place where wise and twinkling old sons of toil sip pints of Guinness while singing Rebel songs around the peat fire and red-haired colleens flirt prettily with you.

I fear the shock of the reality might kill the poor chap.

Oh, no. But it’s funny watching him trot this stuff out to people who haven’t been listening to his unvarnished nonsense for years on here.

‘My country’ indeed! :hehe:
