    Yeah, it's probably a question that's best left rhetorical.

    I guess it's a random perspective about something called pound land. Or maybe it is a plot to portray all Irish people as shopping in pound land or being gay men.

    It is indeed OP. Well spotted. Every Irish person in England is gay. In fairness, how else would OP have known the guy was gay otherwise?

    So is there no way a person could know another person is gay without being directly told?
    Of course he could be wrong, but without seeing the video, I'm guessing there was strong indications.

    Was he even on BBC?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    You are right, and there is a need for an independent committee to give people a rating so we can all avoid unnecessary speculation on this issue.

    Beyond wearing a pair of assless chaps and waving a rainbow flag - and possibly even with both - there is absolutely no way this vox pop Irishman could come across as gayer than the guy who reads the news on the BBC1 London region show.

    I did not speak out, because I'm some Irish eejit who is not gay and does not live in England and has nothing whatsoever to do with it. And then they came for me...

    I think it's a sign that all of Fine Gael's hard work is paying off, and it's only a matter of time before we have all them uppity fcukers outta that and into minimum-wage opportunities in the Liddlyaldi. Chucky Awr Law.
