The competition to be Britain's biggest arsehole has hotted up with the head to head contest between Her Majesty's two most powerful British politicians, who both happen to be Tories, now being joined by a third Tory contender in British Occupied Ireland. Cameron, Her Majesty's Prime minister at Westminster a 22 carat arsehole and Boris Johnson the fellow Tory gormless blond Etonian gonk of a Lord Mayor of London.
Another Tory, Her Majesty's Secretary of State for British Occupied Ireland, Owen Paterson the UDR Orangeman, catching both up fast with his piss brained idea to bring back political internment without trial in Ireland, one of the principal factors in starting a a 40 year old war in the first place. Indeed right now one of its best known victims Marian Price who has been in solitary confinement for over 10 months now has enraged the Irish even further if that were possible. In Downing Street yesterday, British Prime Minister Cameron joked, " I can't promise that Boris Johnson will dye his hair green but you never know he might do, its election year." Something highly unlikely after the London Lord Mayor's remarks referred to the Irish as being, "Lazy and Stupid."
While London Mayor Boris Johnson has made a half arsed apology of sorts for labeling a St Patrick's Day dinner in London as “lefty crap". Johnson has infuriated the Irish community with his remarks and his apparent apology does not stand up to scrutiny as such, when he said, “I am profoundly sorry if I have offended any Irish person." adding “I hope that people will see I was making a point about cost cutting.” It is not in fact as the British media say an apology. Irish organisations have pointed out that the annual St Patrick's day events have always been self-financing by the entire Irish community.
Mr Johnson who has written to the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith to clarify his position, stating, “I regret any unintended offence that I may have given.” Later, Mr Johnson, a classical scholar of Eton like Cameron, added Latin “Mayoral culpa, mayoral maxima culpa.” The Lord Mayor's election is on May 3 against former Lord Mayor, a good friend of Ireland both in good times and bad, Ken Livingstone.
As the Lord Mayor of London, Mr Johnson is the second most powerful politician in Britain has not however made any sort of an effort to explain other remarks made about the Irish, Irish community leader Shelagh O'Connor said the Mayor's comments were extremely disrespectful, “They reflect an era that we thought had passed and an era when Irish people in London faced discrimination and were the butt of jokes. We deserve more respect. It makes me very angry and I feel Boris should apologise,” she said.
Christine Quigley, a candidate for the coming London Assembly elections, said the Johnson’s comments were baseless.“Boris’s lazy and stupid remark about the Irish are utterly factually wrong. The annual St Patrick’s Day event was always self-financing."
Johnson's Latin “Mayoral culpa, mayoral maxima culpa.” translates as Fault Mayoral, mayoral maximum fault but then like chum Cameron's earlier apparent apology for his Eton Rifles army murdering 13 innocent civilians on Bloody Sunday in Derry, they both might be viewed as sincere, if accompanied by making amends, as is the case with all sincere apologies, with an undertaking of actions to prevent it ever happening again. This however is highly unlikely with his colleague Secretary of Ste for Occupied Ireland overruling a court order for the release of Marian Price and a previous royal pardon for her release almost 40 years ago.
Odious wartime internment without trial of former Irish political prisoners, aside from being an acknowledgement of the failure of their much touted peace process, breaks the terms of the so called Bad Friday agreement and it guarantees the start of another 40 year war in Ireland, as internment without trial was a primary cause of war last time. Cameron, Johnson and Paterson's use politician's words, that the long suffering Irish, have long associated with perfidious Albion actions, rather than their shallow words hardly dry on the paper of their broken agreements in Ireland.
The last word to citybloke in the Belfast Telegraph tonight : "Like a lot of so called 'intellectuals' Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson lacks common sense. His half-hearted apology no doubt was made with tongue in cheek. We all know he attended Eton and studied 'Classics' at Oxford and doesn't he love to remind us all at every possible occasion!"
