    That’s one of the finest Irish accents that Dominic has come up with, it really feels like you have an actual Irish man in the room. Quite brilliant.

    Tom you should do a podcast about how Christianity has evolved in late 20th century America. Aka the “Bible Belt”. How American Baptist Protestantism has fit into the evolution of Christianity and how it to view it as a small part in a whole timeline

    Anyone can come out with their own version of something at any time! As cameraman on a film many years ago, I told the Director we should probably call it a day, as it was getting too "Jurassic". No idea if anyone had used that before, and no explanation needed.

    The death toll at Drogheda was small compared to what happened in the sieges of the 30 Years War (1618-1648) where millions died. Less than 3,000 died at Drogheda. This was also a Royalist garrison commanded by Sir Arthur Aston an Englishman. Cromwell came to Ireland to mop up Royalist resistance. The Irish decided to involve themselves in the English Civil War after Charles I had been beheaded. They made a similar mistake with James II in 1690. James went to Ireland and raised an army after he had been kicked out of England. The Irish picked the losing side in both English Civil Wars of the 17th century. This sort of behaviour just invites English distrust. Leo Varadkar picked Brussels during Brexit, and Ireland will probably pay a price in the future. The EU is already falling apart, with Putin causing fractures. Germany will probably reach an understanding with Russia. Ireland isn't in NATO and Geriatric Irish Joe will be gone soon. Ireland can't defend its infrastructure or its airspace, security may again become an issue.

      Actual twaddle and Brexit-brained wish casting, Britain is in much more of a broken state than the EU, who are all still remarkably behind Ukraine for the most part. Germany passed out the UK in terms of military aid supplied a while ago and despite all the whinging and nashing of teeth from
      the Órbans and Ficos of the world, deals for supplying military kit keep getting signed, NATO gained two of the wealthiest and militarised Nordic countries and the EU itself has been happy to keep the cash flow going on a supranational level, bypassing the messiness of national politics.
      Ireland does have plans in place to protect its skies and waters: the deals signed with the UK that for political reasons on both sides of the Irish Sea are not exactly being shouted about from the rooftops. Also Joe Biden? Have you not noticed that every US presidential in the last 50 years is pro-Irish and happy to support the nation on the world stage? You’d swear they didn’t tell the UK government that no trade deal would be signed as long as they kept threatening the peace in Northern Ireland throughout the Brexit fiasco which the Tories happily did by agreeing to be propped up by the knuckle-dragging DUP.

      I agree with you on security. One well-placed cruise missiles would close balnonnel for good, and a scuttle of a decent-sized tanker would close haulboline for good. :)
      Christ, we don't even have a primary radar. In fact, the best decade for irish "air Superiority" was in the 60's when we flew vampires! At least they could catch up with airliners!
