    I’m from Ireland, truly sorry that we’ve unleashed this cunt upon the world. It was always inevitable that he would get involved in the far-right grift, since he’s fading to irrelevance. He’s like an Irish Kanye, so far up his own arse he hasn’t seen daylight in years.

      The IRA would’ve put this prick in a wheelchair. Perhaps we’ve thrown the baby out with the bathwater.

          They are referring to kneecapping, a traditional Irish punishment for… well, anyone that doesn’t deserve a killing.

            Informants and traitors, especially.

            The Provisional IRA was an explicitly left-wing socialist group (if not quite Marxist like the Official IRA were), the defanging of which has let right wing rats like McGregor get a bit brave.

      As an American, just know that you have nothing to apologize for, and our embarrassment is much worse.

      If only the laws worked the way they do now (and my dad was still alive), I’d be getting my Irish citizenship and sharing your much milder embarrassment.

          My dad would have been able to do it, then I could have. My grandfather was first generation, so I can’t unfortunately. My dad passed a few years ago due to ALS, so I’m SoL on that.

              Soon enough, yeah.

              Its OK, my backup/escape plan is a digital nomad visa, then go from there. Thankfully I clear all hurdles for any of the countries offering them, I am OK (not great, but OK) at a few languages, etc. Saves the asylum option for others as things progress in the worst direction…

      Thanks for the apology mate, but we don’t blame you. Cunts hail from every corner of the world, we just have to do better at handling them together.

      Otherwise 100% spot on though.

      I’m from the US, and I would like to say, your apology is truly unnecessary. We, and much of the world, could stand to learn a lot from Ireland

      Yank here. You have nothing to apologize for. We’ve unleashed far more absolute fuck heads onto the world than yous have, for sure.

      You guys got him and Bono.

      We’ve got like… Damn near everyone else. Of anyone should be apologizing, it’s me 😂

        I dunno, Canada gave us Justin Bieber, the Brits gave us Russell Brand, every country has someone to apologize for, we just have a lot more of them. Except Sweden. Sweden is good.

      The difference between Connor and Kanye is that Id tell Kanye what I thought of him to his face.
