@dec23k @RejoinEU @amckinstry Sure. But does he also get the Eurostar to Francais before driving on to Nederland, Deutschland and Osterreich? Or would he just write France, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria?
If so, then why "Eire"?

@dec23k @RejoinEU @amckinstry You don't really believe for a moment that Simon was trying to use Irish, do you? I'm sure he's lovely and all, but it was a use of "Eire" that I found condescending, when he should have used "Ireland", which is, unfortunately, all too common. |
