Here
How many times in the last year or so have Australian officials come out with anti-Irish vitriol? Whatâs it like for our troops on the ground over there, @Fitzy[/USER] and [USER=2812]@Chucks Nwoko ?
Next theyâll be saying itâs not right for two irish lads to beat each other into comas on the streets.
Abbott had a good one a couple years back. In describing the Gillard government, he said (or said something like) it resembled an Irishman who lost $10 on the Grand National. And then lost another twenty watching the replay.
Anyway, Iâm Australian. This doesnât concern me.HoweverâŚalthough* the recent slurs are historically sourced, the current breed of roaster, here and in Ireland, does nothing to instill confidence in ever casting these aspersions aside.

No. The however is redundant
Thank you potato head.

Shut the door on your way out
Iâll have your head in it when I do.
Banty would be proud
Who the fuck is this Grahame Morris cunt?
He has mugged the tans and Ozzies off.
Heâs an absolute cunt, making jokes about the famine. I hope some mad exile batters his head in.
âExileâ? What century are you from?
What one do you think? You stupid cunt.
Fair point.
But yes Tony, hopefully Grahame makes it down here to Van Diemenâs Land, where one of us mad exiles can batter his head in.

Are you in Tazmania bud
No, I was speaking in jest. Tonyâs use of the word exile is more relevant to the 1800âs than the WHV flashpackers of today.
Exile is the word in any century.
And how many Irish people are currently âexiledâ in Australia? Have the English taken control of the island and reopened penal colonies for the thieves and murderers? Or is there a famine back home Iâve missed? Has the nationâs Nutri-Bullets burst into a ball of flames en masse, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee the country?
Iâm aware of the wordâs existence pal. But itâs use in this context is ignorant and archaic.
