Then I take it you too get called a "swivel-eyed knuckledragger little-englander extreme far right racist bigot" every so often.
(Funniest part of the vid is the orange-skinned grocer woman rubbing her hands together in the proverbial 'Jewish' way, lol. Talk about pwnd...)

In my experience, ppl from southern Ireland, a lot like Brits, would rather die than tell you to your face if they disagree with or even don't understand what you're saying, esp in a business context or you're someone they don't know. Like, I can guarantee you that blonde woman, as soon as the fella left the building, will have been telling everyone what a wanker he was and even if he sent her a fantastic quote for whatever he was trying to sell she wouldn't reply.
Republic of Ireland. Not Southern Ireland :P
And yes, ratified by a native.

the complexities
In rural parts, you still hear a lot of “Ech, Hitler wasn’t such a bad sort - he fought the Brits after all†sentiment by the old boys over a pint, and i get their point.
Add in the easy-come, easy gone 'wealth' after centuries of dreary proud frugality - the tiger years played funny tricks with some Irish heads.
Antisemitism is a very un-Irish concept. A true Irish antisemite is about as likely as a Sudanese Eskimo.
Those three people in the video are cockriding the prescribed narrative for a quick buck only, nothing more / nothing less. No swivel-eyed ideology. Blissfully unaware of the wider repercussions of personal greed.
Lol. Not trying to make excuses for these ppl (I genuinely hate the whole boycott Israel movement), but, if this is a real vid, I think they were just humouring him.

Are you Irish, Wooster? I've heard tell.
Incidentally, I am. And I'm assuming, if you are, that you're aware of the complexities surrounding many of these issues.
Given our less than grand economic position of late, it's not surprising, is it? But I feel you've a sardonic point...
Care to elaborate?
