ELECTIONS in other English-speaking countries are obviously of great interest to Britons, unless they’re in the country directly next door. Have you noticed?
Steve Malley, tea-taster: “Ireland’s called a general election? Are they allowed to do that without asking us?”
Jo Kramer, lathe operator: “Sorry Ireland, but would you mind all lying down? You’re impeding my view of vital presidential election post-mortems in America.”
Margaret Gerving, retired: “I think it’s right they’re getting rid of that girl Fianna Fáil. I think she’s been a terrible leader and she’s not pretty even in a dress.”
Wayne Hayes, polytechnician: “I’m actually Irish. Not in a voting or paying any attention whatsoever to their politics sense, but in the sense of being fun and liking a drink.”
Eleanor Shaw, audiobook producer: “I hope Sinn Féin win. Give them a taste of their own bloody medicine.”
