Simple point, if Cromwell had answered the Irish Question PROPERLY, we wouldn't have to put up with all the bog-trotters and even worse the pretend famine-wogs.
Always fucking banging on about how great their backwards third-world home country is. And NOT ONE of them able to explain how come if Ireland's so fucking great, why do they ALL leave it?
EDIT: Also a disconcertingly large number of these spudwogs are GINGE.
