As the Edge once described him
Bono is a nice bunch of guys.
He’s probably the greatest Irishman in history.

Ireland began to mature as a nation at about 5:25pm on July 13th, 1985, when U2 launched into their 11 minutes long performance of “Bad” at Wembley Stadium, London.

Was it that bad?
It was a very bad famine in Ethiopia alright.
My previous post is the opening line to the prologue to a part Eamon Dunphy style, part Fintan O’Toole style epic history I’m writing about Ireland 1985-1995, entitled “Ireland: the Celtic Cub”.
I have to write a second line now.

Yes Mr Quinn
That’s not making any sense to me
Who’s Mr Quinn??
I’ll have to root out the flag
What were the redacted lines?
That letter is sickly on the surface, and sinister under it.
It is also vaguely nauseating.
Christ above. That’s concerning on multiple levels.

Some of the lads slagging Bono would think the Wolfe Tones are as musically relevant as Chuck Berry or The Beatles were.

What are you trying to say there mate?
Did the wolf tones do much for the starving kids in Africa
What a showman
Can you see those fighter planes when you’re flying on private planes

Dear Taoiseach
It was great to see you again in Davos. I appreciated the chance to meet with you privately, as well as the opportunity to come by the IDA dinner. You have a real champion in Bono and equally so with me and Facebook. I hope it came through how much we value our relationship with you and Ireland. I remain grateful for the partnership that we’ve been able to establish with you and your staff. Ireland has been a wonderful home for Facebook and your innovation agenda has enabled us to continue building our Irish operations, a trend that we hope to carry on well into the future.
I also want to commend you once again for your leadership during your Presidency of the EU. You made enormous progress. When it came to the European Data Protection Regulation, you and your staff really internalised our concerns and were able to present them in a reasonable way, which has had a positive impact on both the process and work product. We hope we can rely on you for your continued leadership on this regulation since we still have more work to do here. Along the same lines, I was pleased to heard that you re so involved in the OECD working group process on tax reform. These discussions will be very complicated and important, and we hope to be helpful to you identifying the implications with different options for future investment and growth in Europe. We are keen to collaborate with your office on this, just as we have on the DPR.
As I said at our meeting, I would be thrilled to host you at Facebook Headquarters in Menlo Park any time, and would be even more thrilled if you were available…
two redacted lines….
Please let me know when you are planning to come to the US and your schedule might permit a stop in California.
In fairness to Bono he may not pay taxes here but he’s not above doing his bit to bring in other cunts who don’t pay taxes here

To help them not pay tax anywhere else either.

Yes indeed - global corporate giants not paying taxes anywhere will help “make poverty history”
