The Irish are absolute masters at playing the victim card, the English (note for some reason only English and not the British??) are EVERYBODY'S scapegoats for the world's problems, were kind of used to getting biased blame for everything......... now most English people have learnt not to give a f***.

There's rumblings about the british royals being finally revealed to be a pretty disgusting bunch of pervs. The whole Harry/ Meghen Markle Oprah thing was a smoke screen to divert attention away from Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein.
Of course, Biden is front and center in the same circle so the old monkey man can try to distance himself but we know better.

Notice this stuff rarely comes from any senior politicians in the Irish government but rather some Americans with distant Irish ancestry.

Trump was routinely criticized for his reckless remarks about other countries/leaders. Biden has made some rather intemperate remarks about Putin, Xi, and now the British. While I agree that his characterization of Putin and Xi was accurate, it was surprising that he was so blunt. But his remark about the British was really uncalled for. Nurturing ancient grievances against a major ally is very ill advised. So much for Biden being more diplomatic than Trump.

No. An anglophobe would be if Biden announced that all white people were being banned until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Cromwell, what a loathsome despot. I was glad when I read that after the restoration, his foul carcass was dug up & beheaded.
He & his cronies did some terrible things in Ireland also.

I never thought Biden was diplomatic, Obama grabbed Biden’s arm a couple of times to stop him from saying something stupid, I’ve seen him do that.

As a person who has Irish and Scottish ancestry, plus a th great grandfather killed in the revolutionary war against the British, I forgive you.
