    He is an "Irish" cop when he is a very naughty boy!

    He would be British or Northern Irish if he was a Nobel Prize winner!

    Member of the RUC? Sure they wrote the book on bigotry and racism.


    But OP you are right, he was a British cop.

    Got distracted by the other story.

    'Man stopped for urinating in the street said he was Star Trek captain'

    Patrick Stewart has fallen on hard times. :/

    "He was later eased out of the force on medical grounds after his disciplinary record became too much of a headache for his police bosses."

    I would say you can't make it up, but you don't have to make it up.

    He's a former officer in one of the two police forces in Ireland. So what's the problem with calling him an Irish ex - cop? Why do some people in the 26 counties seem to have such an enormous problem with the idea that people in the north are Irish?

    I think the fact that the man in question was an ex member of the RUC would imply that he himself would prob detest the idea of him being described as anything other than British.

    I say that as a nationalist from the north btw.
