Irish People Poppy Watch

@dodgy-keeper

The Aer Lingus check-in lady for my flight today.

Any chance she could have been English?

@theLockes

God bless you Paddy Locke, you just did what you could for your family back home in Erin. Your country could not provide so you joined the army to fight a war you didn’t start. I remember you and the thousands who died needlessly with you in the Great War.

Would you ever fuck off.

Locke has properly mugged off half the board here. Propa nawtee geeza.

That reminds me, I sat across a table from Gerry during the year while a member of the Oireachtas sang Sean South, all 4 verses and full Wolfe Tones intro. I can confirm that Gerry was not wearing a poppy.

How do you know he fought with honour and didn’t die with his head in his hands terrified by shell shock?

He came back and lived for a few months. All down on paper. If he wanted to lie fair enough. Let’s take it that he told the truth on his death bed and said he fought valiantly. Why can’t Irish people remember their war dead?

Ah sure lookit, believe what you want to believe. He’d hardly come home and tell the folks he’d been court martialled for cowardice. Was he awarded any medals for bravery?

He took one in the gut in the battle of the Somme, of course he got a medal.

Some people take it in the ass every day and get no medals for it…sad really.
