I conceded no point.
You conceded the song was unacceptable.
Thatâs what this whole debate has been about.
As Iâve never heard Paddy Footix used as a term of racial abuse, especially by an Irishman, which was the context.
Now if a raving imperialist, chauvinist fool like Laurence Fox decided to call say SinĂŠad OâConnor âPaddy Potatoheadâ or even referred to the Irish generally as Paddy Iâd likely have a different view but thatâs dependent on the context of the speaker which you say I ignore, but which I donât ignore, I mean I specifically referenced the n word having different contexts based o the skin colour of the person who is saying it FFS sake. Christ I even referenced Stewart Lee calling a for âa big clap for the good old IRAâ and the Liverpool supporters joking mocking the Rangers supporters with âUp the Raâ last night as being edgy but funny and not crossing a line because of the context of who is saying it, ie. English people, who were the victims of the IRA, this creating comedic absurdity in the same way Mel Brooks could sing Springtime for Hitler because he was a Jew.
The context is different with the Irish team because they are Irish, theyâre representing Ireland and theyâre glorifying criminal acts done in the name of Ireland. That makes it much more threatening.
Even if Mr. Fox or Mr Littlejohn or Mr. Liddle or whoever used âPaddy Potatoheadâ I probably wouldnât call it a racial insult given that there are such close cultural similarities between the English and the Irish, but it would go down as an unfunny, bigoted, xenophobic one.
Iâm Irish so I can call Irish people as a group what I like, which sometimes is Paddy or even Paddy Potatohead if Iâm bored.

These cunts complaining would want to educate themselves about the poppy as well.

Up the ra.
Ooh

Up the Ra
The poppy has nothing to do with this, itâs utterly irrelevant.
This is about the disgusting glorification the IRA murderers of innocent children.
But Paddy Rastool as ever reaches for the whataboutery because his cupboard of arguments is barer than that of a famine cottage.
