    Dublin is not Ireland. As many Irish people will queue up to tell you.

    Yes, but you see they're fooling themselves in the hope that the English will think

    they're as good as said English.

    It doesn't wash. Not for a second.

    I would argue that a Dubliner is less good than a Londoner, certainly.

    However, he is a cut above northerners, carrot crunchers or people from the Midlands. And superior to a Welsh, obviously.

    Did you see that Tony Abbott is in trouble for suggesting that the Irish might drink

    on St Patrick's Day?

    Yes. I for one am very offended by this slur.

    Honestly, when did Australians start being racially sensitive? It really doesn't suit them.

    I believe the Irish goivernment may have reacted to this appalling reinforcement

    of an outdated stereotype.
