Don’t let Irish politics ruin your breakfast

Don’t let Irish politics ruin your breakfast

Re: “Diatribe on ‘migrant invasion’ was foul blend of tribalism and fear”, Have Your Say, June 5.

Yet again Dr Frank shares with the world the devastation to his morning repast caused by my letters, and I can only commiserate with whoever has to clear up the ravages of curdled milk, sprayed coffee, regurgitated “eggy bits” and pig-in-blanket body parts with which Dr Frank decorates his breakfast table.
In referring to the Irish premier’s sexuality and ethnic origins, I was carefully non-judgmental. I left it to readers to consider whether it is appropriate for a staunchly Catholic country to be led by a homosexual in a same-sex partnership, and whether a leader of immigrant origin should be free to import a further one million immigrants into a rich, unique and homogeneous culture that has endured 1,000 years of pain and suffering to secure self-government, particularly when the disaster of Ireland’s immigration policy over the last decade is blatantly apparent.
But I feel I should attempt to restore harmony to Dr Frank’s household. I suggest the addled doctor leaves The Nation neatly folded while he breaks his fast, only opening it later within the safe confines of his lavatory.
