No surprise. After all, the Irish have always been lovers of freedom - just what the dictators of the so-called "People's Republic" of China deny to their own victims - er, citizens. Pathetic, really.

Just shows all the business I do with China and even my girlfriend never told me this news, as with you tube and google and facebook , China's youth aren't connected to the Real Global market

In my local Irish bank the other day. A Chinese woman was at the forex counter. Suddenly she screamed and said “Whaaat? Why you give me two hunerd euro for yen last week and this week only hunerd and eighty?” The teller courteously leaned forward said quietly, as if under her breath, “Fluctuations”. The Chinese lady agrily turned away, waving her arms and stormed out screaming “Fluc you white people!” >>> Shanghai sure lost a lot of euro with this decision!

It's a nation led by paranoid leaders. Or, maybe their control isn't quite as tight as they were believing.

torbreezy is sure Irish. He goes many thousands of miles in order to eat in an Irish bar. Bit like the Irish you see in Spain. They're surrounded by good Spanish food, but instead they spend their day boozing and eating burgers & fries in Paddy's Bar or the Rose & Crown.

Green is the color of both Islam and the Irish, so obviously there is some sort of conspiratorial connection between the two groups that the Chinese authorities, who much prefer red, must squelch.
