Many a true word said in jest.
If the UK had been denied entry & their 'small boats' had been turned around from the get go ...a lot of the globe would be wealthier, alive & happy.
The irony of now complaining 'they're being invaded'.
They're coming because YOU went, saw, coveted, killed & stole.

75% of Irish ppl believe in an independent neutral Ireland; we choose how we defend ourselves in line with longstanding friends, such as France; Irish ally since 1798. The €200m+ Dublin EU Presidency shows that Ireland does not have to join NATO. Those keen on war, not peace, are in a tiny minority*

No rational person on planet Earth could EVER call this lavish, detached, £multi-million, multi-bedroom house a: 'Cottage'.
Eh? It's a giant Mansion! Wake up, UK twits.
Once again, the UK Royals continue to laugh in the face of their silly, servile subjects.
End this disingenuous balderdash!

One does not 'buy' a poppy. They are not for sale. One donates to the poppy fund and can take a poppy to indicate you have done so ( and virtue signal if that's your thing).
