Sounds more like an attempt at one-upmanship based on your country's superior firepower.

Your culture (and politics) has changed. Hardly. We have a strong nuclear deterrent and the ability to defend ourselves against pretty much anyone exc...

We may become a neoliberal hellhole. But you're likely to beat us to it. Anyway, slán leat.

There's nothing other to it than that, Chester. Be honest. The rest does not stand up.

Yes, there's also economic equality, minimum wage etc. All significantly better here than the UK and the US.

Why would we do that? As I said, since 1992, our GDP has increased 6 times. Is that a bad thing in your topsy turvy world?

Ireland's GDP is 6 times larger since the instantiation of the EU in 1992, so no matter what happens, we're huge winners. Anyway, carry on. But your p...

Well, if we do go down, we'll go down with our eyes open and without blaming immigrants, who are responsible for much of our economic growth.

There's the quote. I'm saying you need to apply the same to Biden if he's guilty.

I've been referring to the way you talk about women, nothing else. In that respect, you two are twins even in your excuses.
